PAGE FITE ALLEN RECEIVES DEALER 1-MINUTE SAFETY TALKS By Don Herold The national headquarters In St. Louis of the National Automobile Dealers association has appointed W. W. Allen, president of the Pierce Allen Motor company of Medford, as mom ber of the national activities council of -the assoclattonT according to an announcement received here yesterday. A letter Informing him of the appointment states that his name had been recommended -y A. B. Smith of Portland, member of the board of directors of N. A. D. A. for Oregon, and "cornea as a recognition of your devotion to trade interests, and your constant willingness to sac rifice your own personal gain for the advancement of the trade as a whole," and that "it is an honor both to yourself and to the other dealers in your trade territory.' As member of the national activi ties council Mr. Allen will bring to the automobile dealers the activities and policies of the national organ isation, reporting to and advising with local dealers occasionally on national developments and thus pro moting united action and support for major endeavors. Also, through him national headquarters states it will be kept constantly informed of local group thought and desires. The thorough organization of aut omobile dealers throughout the Unit ed States by similar appointments of key representatives of the National Activities Council la now under way. The St. Louis announcement lists immediate functions of the national organization, to be thus supported by the dealer body In every possible way, as Including: The thorough understanding and support of developments of dealer benefits that may be derived through national legislation or governmental agency without bureaucratic inter ference. Support of the N. A. D. A. pro gram to obtain more equitable pro visions in factory-dealer relation ships; psrtlcipation in trade surveys to obtain Indisputable factual data to promote better factory-dealer re lationship, and an intensive program to promote membership In local, state and the national associations, with increased distribution and use of the N. A. D. A. official used car guide book. In this guide, each month, is published the current mar- , ket valuations of used -Automobiles I saw hm cloiri gO miles a0 on the new Sxa.te Kpal in M new dar YeS, lie still has the Same brain -m 1 I leu mm in LET'S HAVE NEW MODELS IN PEOPLE greater haste possible without teaching drivers how NOT to use it. Most every time a road is widened ! and improved, the accidents on it , immediately increase and become deadlier. Maybe we ought to quit improving roads and cars for a while, and concen trate on bringing out some new, late 1935 models in drivers, with 8-cylinder brains and streamlined common sense. After all, what can we expect if we give faster cars and faster roads to the same old unimproved people? The people must be geared up, too geared up to greater caution and greater carefulness. Geared up to slow down, so to speak. Nine accidents out of ten are caused by too much haste in one form or mother yet we go on making even Almost 124.000 accidents last year were due to exceeding the speed limit; 53,290 were caused by reckless driving, and most of the others were the result of undue haste on somebody's part New model cars and new roads should mean fewer accidents not more. Perhaps a part of ail the tax on motor cars and for good roads should be devoted to safety education of the people who are to use them. Last year's automobile accident record was a lulu for all time. Most of the 882,000 accidents, in which 36,000 were killed and approximately a mil lion injured last year, according to figures of The Travelers Insurance Company, occurred on good roads. S that dealers take In trade on new car salea In lieu of cash. "Recently manufacturers recogniz ed and endorsed the guide as the one medium of determining the act ual current market valuations of used cars, as a protection to the dealer and to the public," national headquarters has stated. Mr. Allen and L. O. Taylor, sales manager of the pierce Allen Motor company, attended the annual meet ing of the Oregon Automoblla Deal ers association In Portland on last Thursday. They also visited the Port land automobile show. Mr. Allen re- ports that the attendance recorda were broken by the auto show this year. He said: "It was the finest show I have ever attended and the public showed an Intense Interest In the new models." Die Mall Tribune want ads.

Nov. 33. (AP) H. B. Van Duzer of the Inman-Poul sen Lumber company attacked the reductions in Canadian lumber tar lffa from a new angle today. Lumber operators and laborers of the Pacific Northwest continued to send scorching protests against the troaty to Washington. Van Duzer wrote Senator McNary (R.t Ore.), who carried the fight to Washington, D. C, stating Canada enjoys large freight differentials over the United States. Foreign ships with their low rates cannot carry lumber between United States ports, but can haul lumber from Canadian to United States ports, he stated, asking that the treaty be amended to remedy this. He further stated the Canadian advantage on average lumber moving to Australia and New Zealand Is about $4.93 a thousand feet; to the British isles, from $2.68 to 15.16 a thousand feet and to South Africa, from 3 40 to 3.66 a thousand feet, depending upon grade of material. CHICAGO. Nov. 33. AP) Mrs. ! Lorraine L. Blair, organiser of the ; Women's Finance Forum, said today; women generally could not answer simple questions on finance which would vitally concern their families' future In event they were widowed. Mrs. Blair satd she came to that conclusion after interviewing 30.000 women for Jobs and lecturing before women's clubs. She gave a list of ten questions r-he said she propounded before wo men's clubs to show the members how little they were Informed on pertinent famtly financial matters. 1. Haa your husband a will? 3. Do you know the difference be tween a stock and bond? 8. Do you know where your hus band's safety deposit box la? 4. Is there a second beneficiary on your husband's Insurance policy? 6. What would you do if your hus band died tonight? 6. To whom would you go for fU nanclal advice? 7. Do you know how much you should inherit from bis estate? 8. How would you invest any money from the estate? 0. Do you know If the estate haa been planned so you could live on the income or would have to llqul date the assets? 10. Do you know if provision has been made for available cash to pay probate costs? I have found many wives shy of asking their husbands about their wills, out of sentiment," Mrs, Blair said, "but thorn is nothing senti mental about the hard fact that at the age of 66 there are two women alive to one man.
