tanetvaly Into the wood box market
in recent years.
The way to solve thla problem, ob
vloualy. Is to re-establish the wood
en box aj the moat desirable con
tainer for packing and ahlpment of a
wide range of commodities.
H
OW can that be done?
Well. It will take brains to
do It. Bralna provide the only poa
Bible solution for the great majority
of our proraleras.
The wood box industry Isn't lack-
Ing in brains these days. If you doubt
that, observe the Intelligent manner
in which it is entering into the prob
lem of marketing potatoes, carrots
and other vegetables in wooden
crates.
y"HE wood box Industry la partlcu-
larly important In Southern
Oregon and Northern California, be
cause our timber la largely pine and
pine la the most desirable of box
woods.
The box factory payroll Is a big
payroll in Southern Oregon, distribu
ting vast sums In wages. A share of
these turns finds Its way into the
poekete of all of us.
riODTTHBRN Oregon and Northern
California are extensively inter
ested in the wood box Industry. All
of California, it might be Just as well
to state here, la highly Important to
the wood box Industry, because Cali
fornia's fruit and vegetable crops are
marketed chiefly in wood boxes and
crates.
-
FOTJ may ask yourself this ques-
tlon: "How can I help the wood
box industry, which is so Important
to Southern Oregon?
Well, one way would be to loose
no opportunity to express your ap
preciation of those products that'are
shipped In wood boxes.
That ALWAYS helps. -
PRESIDENT HOOVER stands on his
feet at a White House reception
and snakes hands with more than
8,000 people who file past him. Then
he goes to bed exhausted.
If you have any doubts as to his
complete exhaustion, try shaking
hands with 3,000 people, one after
another.
You will probably be pretty tired
after the experience.
IN 1930, according to figures tfcat
have Just been released by the
Aeturlal Society of America (an ac
tuary Is a person who compiles sta
tistics for life Insurance companies) :
one person waa killed in acnedutea
commercial flights in this country
for each 17,398 carried. In 1931, the
rate was one death tor each 19,346
passengers carried.
Commercial aviation. It is appar
ent, la slowly becoming safer.
That Is Important, because flying
will not come Into Its own as a mode
of transportation until people gen
erally gain more . confidence in its
safety.
ET us put It in another way.
- In 128, 80 passengers lost
their Uvea out of each 100,000 flights.
In 1929, only ten passengers lost their
lives out of each 100.000 flights. By
1930, the number of passenger deaths
per hundred thousand flights had
fallen to six, and last year It Was
only five.
OMT-rERCIAl! aviation, you will
note from these figures, is be
coming steadily safer. It Is becoming
safer because safety is essential to
its progress. So, in addition to me
chsnlcsl improvements, every pos
sible effort Is being made to avoid
carelessness.
Motoring, on the other hand, is
becoming stesdlly more dangerous.
Each year, more people lose their
Uvea on the highways of this coun
try than In any previous year.
One reason for thla Is that we are
making no adequate effort to reduce
carelessness In motoring.
