Dennis Coop to Redistrict The Board of Directors of Columbia Basin Electric Coop are proposing a change of director districts to the mem bership. The change would be voted on at the Annual Meeting, Fossil. Nov. C. The proposed bylaw revi sion would reduce the size of the board of directors from 12 to 9 over a period of years. The most important aspect of the plan for change would be to revise the director districts from 9 rural and 3 town districts to 5 rural and 4 town districts. This will give more consideration to the present membership compo sition! which is a majority of town members l but would continue to place importance on the geographic areas served Over a period of years as present directors retire or decline t(i run nn districts HtMOtr BUIIMUM. tmrtui I Mttlf ) 11 11.. in yuan.

The 45 deaths compare with 89 for August a year ago, according to the Oregon Motor Vehicles Division. The state's death traffic toll for the first eight months of the year now stands at 356, nearly 20 per cent lower than for the comparable period last year. The figure is the lowest eight month toll the state has recorded since 1962 when 304 traffic deaths were reported for the period. DMV officials said the low August toll was aided by the fact that the state recorded only two multiple death crashes during the month. Last August 11 multiple death crashes were recorded. Half of the state's 36 counties went death free during the month. Marion county had the highest toll for the month with seven fatali ties. Multnomah county re corded six deaths. Other county death tolls were: Clackamas, 4: Coos, 1; De schutes, 2; Douglas 4, Jack son. 4; Jefferson, I; Jose phine, 1; Klamath, 1; Lane, 4; Lincoln, 1; Linn. 2, Malheur, 1: Morrow 2; Umatilla. 2; Wallowa. 1: and Yamhill. 1. The August toll is subject to revision if delayed reports are received or if persons listed as injured die as a result of injuries received in August crashes, officials said. '.

Chester W. Oil.
