Traffic crashes leading d eath cause Substantial progress in re ducing traffic fatalities would result in a significant increase in the average life span of Oregonians. Traffic crashes are the greatest cause of death up to age 45 in Oregon. The very fact that death from this cause is so commonplace is one of the reasons so little progress in preventing them occurs. iA'......

In an effort to improve the teaching of writing in the district's junior and senior high school, all Morrow County secondary teachers will take part in a workshop at Heppner High School Oct. 29. The workshop is a project funded by the National En dowment for the Humanities. The purpose of the workshop is to help teachers learn techniques designed to sup port and improve the writing skills of their students in all subject matter areas. The workshop will be led by a team of instructors from the Tri-Cities area. The workshop will involve approximately 60 teachers from Riverside, lone and Heppner Junior and Senior High Schools. It will begin at 9 a.m. in the Heppner High School cafeteria. Secondary school students in grades seven through 12 will be excused from classes for the day. Jane Rawlins, head of the Heppner High School English Department who has the major responsibility tor the workshop, said its aim is to especially reach teachers out side of the language-arts area and to inspire them to better assist their students with writing projects. During last summer three county teachers: Rawlins, Barbara Stefani of lone High School and Linda Shellinger of Riverside High School, took special training at Washington State University in Pullman so they could help with instruc tion here in the writing project workshop.
