JANUARY 13. i0iQiO)ino)niDvi llllil BUECK SAFETY DRIVE TO The Buick Safety Legion, with on expected Immediate membenihlp o( more than 200,000 Bulck owners throughout the United States and an objective membership of 600,000 by the middle of the year, la being launched by the Bulck Motor com pany, according to R. A. Skinner of Sklnner'a garage, local Bulck and Pontlao dealer. The project will be part of a major safety campaign to be carried on by the company among more than 3,500,000 Bulck owners In the United States throughout the coming year. "The campaign will be one of safety education." Mr. Bklnner said, "and will be carried on through the medium of the Bulck Magnzlne, a company publication circulating cur rently to approximately 400,000 Bulck owners and reaching through reader circulation several times that num ber." Purposes of the Bulck Safety Le gion are the promotion of safe and courteous driving among Bulck own era and to encourage Bulck owners, by their own example and by their Influence In their local communi ties, to become leaders in a move ment to reduce accidents on the highways. All owners of Bulck cars are eli gible for membership In the leglou. the requirements being the signing of a membership card pledlng cour tesy and care In the operation of a motor vehicle and careful observance of local and state truffle laws. 'The starting point of a safoty program Is the man behind the wheel," commented Mr. Skinner, "A great majority of automobile acci dents, In fact practically all of them, i can be prevented by Intelligent care and courtesy on the part of the driver. "X know that careful drivers are sometimes the victims of reckless ones and that pedestrians are often at fault. You cannot always count on the other fellow stopping at a red light, or signalling when he lb about to turn, or staying on the right side of trie road In the open country. But knowing all thlp, one can anticipate the other fellow In many oases and keep out of trouble regard less of what he does. "On the other hand, It Is all too common for otherwise courteous peo ple to become quarrelsome and ag gressive on the highway. Such a mo torist 'Insists on his rights,' crowds ahead when someone tries to paas. Insists upon putting the other fel low In his place when he violates some rule of the road. "To create some measure of or t united thinking on these subjects is one or the purposes of the Bulck Safety Legion, whose members will be pledged to thoughtful driving. As: a first step, the safety Legion will encourage courtesy and thoughtful- 1 nee as between drivers of Bulck cars. Beyond this, X believe Bulck owners will recognlr.e their further responsi bility of courtesy to all motorists and by their example and Influence will iH!rldually campaign for greater safety on the highways."

Skinner's Garage 31 TO HIE TO UNION CREEK Plans were hurriedly completed last night by the Rogue Snowmen for a winter frolic today at Union Creek, where the U. B. foVest service has constructed a ski slide. 8am Jennings, president of the club, said that a large turnout was expected, not only of members but of other residents. The Snowmen had first planned to spend the day at Crater Lake na tional park with the Skyllnera of Bend and the Snow Clan of Klamath Falls, but It was learned definitely last night that the Crater Lake high way was closed by snow from a point just beyond the Diamond Lake June tlon to the west entrance. Receiving conflicting reports on the condition of the highway, the Snow men sent one of their members, Lester Oilman, out to Investigate. Last night Mr. Oilman telephoned to Mr. Jennings It was Impossible to paas much beyond the Junction. Mr. Oilman stated that a state highway department rotary plow had reached the scene yesterday and would start clearing the road today so that probably after tomorrow the highway would be opened for the re mainder of the season. All the roads In the park have been kept open by the park service. Mr. Oilman reported there were two feet of snow In good skiing condi tion In the forest domain at Union Creek.

Ground Grip Tires Eliminate Chains Of Interest to winter drivers Is the fact that Firestone Ground Orlp tires make their own road wherever they go, according to Ed Kfteland, manage! of the local Firestone Auto Supply and Service Store. Mr. Efteland says: "Ground Grip tires will take a car or truck through mud. anow or over unimproved roads, and chains are not neceasary. The rugged, scientifically designed Ground Orlp tread grips where other Urea, even with chains, may leave you stranded. "On tractors and farm Implements. Ground Orlp Urea enable the farmer to do more work In leas time at a considerable saving In fuel. The great flexibility of the gum-dipped cord body cushions the shocks of rough going and protects costly equipment against vibration and breakage." For Hose that Wear buy NOLDE ft HOR8T Ethel wyn B.
