"During pleasant spr t n g weather, so welcome after the severe winter, drivers tend to speed up," he said. 'Then rain comes and they forget to slow down." Sheriff Mollahan explained that special dangers exist at the beginning of a rainfall, espec ially after an extended dry SDeil. These include blowing sand and dust in addition to the highway surface covered with a mixture of rain, dust and oil. Studies bv the Rubber Manu facturers Association show that scum may be washed away in 15 to 30 minutes or may per sist for an hour in a light drizzle.

Animals Week Set; Pet Homes Sought Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is Nat ional Kindness Chairman for 1.969, according to Thomas C. Justice, president of the Denver based American Humane Assoc iation. Zimbalist stars in "The FBI," one of the top-ranking series in television during the last four seasons. The 55th national Be Kind to Animals Week, May 4-10, will highlight the year, Justice said, in cooperation with the Oregon Humane Society. Gene Burgess, executive direc tor, Oregon Humane Society, said that this year's BKA Week theme asks people to give a pet a good home, to adopt a pet during May. "However," he cau t i o n e d, "many families actually do not want to live through the trouble of owning pets, nor are they equipped to care for them." "Certainly we want to place millions of animals nationally during Be Kind to Animals Week," he said, "but only in homes where they will get the best of care, all year 'round." Many such animals are avail able from the Oreson Humane Society. "We will be happy to offer a pet to any home where it will receive good handling all of the time," he said. Be Kind to Animals Week was launched 55 years ago bv The American Humane Assoc iation and has been observed in Oregon by the Oregon Humane Society. NEED ENVELOPES?
