PAGE FIVE SCOTTISH SAILOR OF THREEVESSELS Eugene Visitor Tells Hectic Experiences as Crew man on Cargo Carriers- Eugene, Ore., Sept. 13 P Four times since the war broke, Sam Edward Carr has had ships sunk from-under him, either Dy aerial bombs or submarine tor pedoes. Each time he escaped injury while many of his shipmates died, the Glasgow-born Scot, about 40, related as he paused here long enough to recite a few of his experiences. He is on his way from Seattle to ?ati Fran cisco where he hopes to get aboard another ship and get back into the war with the Brit ish. First Off Ireland His first escape from a sinking vessel was 175 miles off the coast of Ireland when two Ger man planes halted the S. S. Nan kin, on the way to Gydnia After bombs destroyed the ship, Carr was taken aboard another ship in the convoy and returned to Glasgow. Then he sailed in a convoy of 17 ships for Portland, Ore., on the S. S. Seedbo for a flour cargo. Again enemy planes blasted the convoy, sinking seven ships, including his own. He was one of eight saved from his craft. Twenty-six were lost. A torpedo boat returned him to Glasgow again. Then he boarded the Silver Pore, safely crossed the Atlantic and finally reached Seattle, Wash., from where the ship turned to join a British convoy. Clung To Plank After sailing around Cape Horn a torpedo struck his vessel one dark June night 250 miles off Burenos Aires. All the men in the engine room were killed by the direct hit. Carr was thrown overboard by the impact and clung to a plank for four hours before he was picked up by the destroyer Orite. Eventu ally he was back in Glasgow, where he later sailed on the Silver Glow for Seattle. He left that boat, he said, because of the numerous Chinese and East In dians in the crew. "I'd rather sail with British ers," he explained. STATE'S TRAFFIC lH.tBb.tok ANOTHER SHIPMENT RED SKIRTS $2.98 A complete out lat week! Now brand new uhlpmrnt . . .

Safe driving courses will be conducted in virtually every I high school in the state this year, Snell said. Two state ex aminers will conduct classes in various sections of the state dur ing the school year, each course lasting seven weeks with stu dents receiving one hour of in struction each week. The courses features at-the-wheel in-! struction in all phases of auto mobile driving. Snell related. Many schools in the state now include instruction in safety in their curricula and the instruc tion manual "Are Young Driv ers Good Drivers?", distributed by the secretary of state's of fice, is available for the schools. The courses are designed to de velop proper attitudes of safe driving, with the thought in mind that individuals with the proper driving attitudes will be safer drivers, Snell said. Schools Praised "The schools In Oregon are doing splendid work in the saf ety field," Snell said. "Student enrolled in the various courses are becoming definitely safety minded and that means that when they start driving, they will be conscious of the import ance of developing good driv. ing practices as a means of pre venting accidents." An intensive program of bi cycle safety is planned for this year, the campaign being keyed to a new bicycle manual being prepared by the traffic safety division of the state department, Snell revealed. This manual will be distributed to youngsters of school age and will tie in with the various local municipal bicycle safety programs, he said. It will contain material relating to proper bicycle riding prac tices and will outline the rules and regulations pertaining to bi cycle riding in this state. CCC Helps Safety education programs in CCC camps in the state have formed an important part of the educational projects in this or ganization and the safety text distributed by the state depart ment is widely used in these programs. Parent-Teacher asso ciations are stressing the value of safety education and are en couraging comprehensive pro grams in connection with their work with the schools of the state. The Oregon Traffic Safety Ex change, monthly bulletin pub lished by Snell'i office, will be sent to various schools of the state this year for use in their class room discussions on the safety problem. This is a new phase of the program, Snell said. , 1 - 1 If II community who have supported the movement to increase our local national guard companies to their proper quota and who contributed to the companies' fund.
