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."

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.

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."

Ham L. Colvtg and Helen Woodford
Colvig. With his parents he crossed
the plains by ox team In 1861 and
settled near Canyonvllle In Douglas
county. His memory of those days,
crossing the plains and settling In
the new rugged territory, always re
mained' a vivid picture In his mind
and as he waa a natural orator and
had the ability of picturing In words
what he ventured to tell, his many
stories of early day Oregon history
have become Invaluable to writers of
note.
Although his schooling was ac
quired In log school houses and cov
ered but a short period of years he
was widely known aa a cultural
scholar and a brilliant and success
ful lawyer. He was especially noted
as a Shakespearean student.
In 1863 he enlisted In Co. C, 1st
Oregon cavalry and during his en
listment he was with the parly
which mapped a greater part of
Klamath, Lake, Harney and Mal
heur counties. As company clerk, he
named a great many streams, valleys
and mountains In that area. He wa
with the company of soldiers who
first saw Crater lake and Is the last
survivor of that company.
He waa always proud of the fact
that he cast his first vote for Abra
ham Lincoln. Following his dis
charge from the Union army he spent
eight years In the East and Middle
West, after which he returned to
Jackson county where he was mar
ried In 1879 to Addle Blrdseye, a
member of another pioneer famliy.
From that time on he became an
active and Important factor In the
progress of southern Oregon. He was
a forceful power In the early politics
of Jackson county and served as
school superintendent and later was
elected district attorney for three
terms In the first Judicial district,
then comprising Jackson, Lake and
Josephine and Klamath counties. He
then returned to private law practice
and made a marked success In both
civil and criminal cases.
He waa Intensely Interested In all
progress toward the upbuilding of
Jackson county. He served as attor
ney for the Southern Pacific railroad
company In Jackson county for sev
eral years and in 1913 was appointed
tax and right of way agent for that
company with offices In Portland.
In 1918 he retired and returned to
Medford where he lived until his
death.
Judge Colvig was as much a part
of the valley, he loved as are the
hills that guard it his humoroua
philosophy, his kindly smile, his
gentle patience and his perfect un
derstanding of human nature, leave
