Traffic fatalities below last year Only 42 traffic fatalities were recorded during June which is 45 per cent below the figure for last year and the lowest number for this month since 1967. Traffic deaths are down 14 per cent for the first six months of 1975 as compared to last year. There were 252 traffic crash victims for the first half of this year as compared to 293 for the same period in 1974. Gil Bellamy, Administrator of the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission reports that al most half (122 of 252) of the deaths for 1975 have been people under 25 years old. He points out that over America's 200 year history, there have been 649,702 American sold iers killed in battle in all wars from the Revolutionary War through Vietnam. By com parison, over 2 million Ameri cans have died in traffic crashes in the last 70 years. Since the greatest cause of death up to age 37 is traffic crashes, Bellamy is hopeful ' that an effort will be launched to prevent traffic fatalities similar in scope to an effort which would be launched to control any other epidemic Bunco artists working in state Attorney General Lee John son said that law enforcement officials have been notified that a large, well-organized group of bunco artists are operating wiihin the state. The group, collectively known as the "Williamson Gang." spec ializes in solicitations of elderly persons for roof and driveway sealing and related home repairs. Investigation has -further revealed that members of this organization have been charged in this state with crimes of shoplift ing, theft by deception involv ing checks and have been suspects in burglaries. Johnson said the group generally operates door-to-door soliciting home repair jobs, and does not operate under a business name. If a homeowner is approached for home repairs on this basis. Johnson said, they should contact their local law en forcement agency, district attorney or the Consumer Protection Division. Johnson added that before entering into a contract for such repairs, homeowners should solicit estimates from a known business firm and make certain the repairs are necessary. safely off Popcorn and Pop at the Sidewalk Bazaar Carnival Tickets Advance sale tickets 5 for $1 Regular price will be 40C each or 3 for $1 Carnival will be al the Fair and Rodeo August It thru 21 Cclcnbla Ocsfn fcciric Cocp roNDON-uu-joa wt-cti tUVML-7tt-4US7U-2IIS IIEITER-7MIUf7t KM Mr. and Mrs. Dayton Gus tafson of Sumner, Wa. spent several days at the home of Mrs. Irene Swanson.
