Wilderness Bill
Hearings Ended
Seattle-(UPD-A Senate sub
committee hearing on the con
troversial wilderness bill now
before Congress ended Tues
day with opponents contend
ing that a new measure
should be drafted while pro
ponents defended the existing
legislation.
H. R. Glascock of Portland,
representing the Western For
estr and Conservation Asso
ciation, charged that the
measure was "so vague, gen
eralized and fraught with con
flicting ideas" that a new bill
should be drawn.
Summarizing for the pro
ponents was Philip H. Za
lesky, Everett. He said there
was nothing wrong with the
existing bill and presented a
section by section diagnosis
of the measure, which is de
signed to set aside wilderness
areas in their natural state
for future generations.

Washington-(CPD - The aver
age driver does not slow down
at night. He should.
That is oner of the most sig
nificant findings reached by
the U.S. Bureau of Public
Roads in a three-year study of
highway accidents in all parts
of the nation.
The bureau analyzed 3,700,
000,000 vehicle-miles of actual
travel by 290,000 drivers over
typical sections of main rural
highways. .
It found that night and day
speeds averaged about the
same.
But it also found that acci
dent involvement rates at
night were twice as high, on
the average, as in daytime. At
speeds of 70 miles an hour
and higher, the night time
rate was four times as great.
There was some evidence
that darkness, per se, is not
the chief reason for higher
accident rates at night. Fa
tigue, intoxication and other
factors apparently contribute.
It was found that fatal acci
dent rates reached a sharp
peak between 2 and 4 am
but were less than half as
high between 9 and 11 p.m.
both periods of darkness.
The study confirmed that
the age of the driver has a
major bearing on the acci
dent rate. Drivers between 30
and 60 years of age had the
lowest accident involvement
rate. Those under 20 had the
highest 250 per cent higher
than the average for all driv
ers. Drivers between the ages
of 20 and 24, and those 65 and
older, had accident rates near
ly double the average.
However much young pec
pie may protest the finding,
the study also showed that
young drivers cannot handle
higher speeds as well as more
mature driver. At speeds be-

to look for in judging muffins.
The muffin rating was 2, 1

fins look for well-formed muf
fins with a light brown color,
good texture, with the inside
not too firmly packed or full
of cracks and tunnels.

President Mike Elmore called

But if professional male
drivers bus and truck drivers,
chaufeurs, etc. are eliminated,
the accident rates for men and
women drivers are approxim
ately equal.
Are the widely-publicized
perils of holiday travel real
or an invention of the news
papers? They are real. The study
shows that it is approximately
25 per cent riskier, per ve
hicle-mile of travel, to venture
onto the highways over a maj
or holiday period. One-day
midweek holidays produce a
worse slaughter than those
that occur on a week end.
Christmas is the worst, New
Year's, for some reason, has
a relatively low accident rate
as holidays go.
The safety slogans which
warn ag.inst drinking-and-driving
were powerfully cor
roborated. The bureau report
ed that driving performances
were affected by "even small ;
amounts of alcohol."
Drivers who were found up
on testing to "have between
0.05 and 0.10 per cent alcohol
in their blood had an accident
involvement rate 50 per cent
higher than those withno al
cohol or less than 0.05 per
cent. It takes about two high
balls or two bottles of beer
to produce a concentration of
0.05 per cent in the average
adult. .
Drivers with 0.15 per cent
alcohol in their blood the
legal standard of intoxication
in many states had an acci
dent rate 10 times as great as
those with less than 0.05 per
cent.
The bureau reported pre
liminary evidence that a wide
variety of common drugs in
cluding tranquilizers, antihis
tamines, barbituates and even
aspirin may affect vision or
alertness and increase the risk
of accident. Further research
will be done on this factor.
New York (DPD Failure of
the Dow-Jones industrials to
penetrate the 610-620 level on
the next recovery with rails
reaching a new high would
pave the way for a reaction
that could carry to somewhere
between 550 and 560 during
the spring months, according
to Hayden, Stone and Co.
Standard and Poor's feels
the odds are that the market
can complete its consolidation
process without undergoing a
serious reaction.
Bache and Co. says current
indications suggest buying
power will develop around the
590-600 area.
E. F. Hutton and Co. feels
if the variable annuity idea
gains a real foothold it can
be construed as a very bull
ish factor for the market since
wider use of the medium
would inevitably result in in
surance companies amassing
large holdings of common
stock.
International Statistical Bu
reau's Business and Invest
ment Service says best indica
tions are there will be no
mark up in the price of gold.
"There is absolutely no basis,
logic or reason for this."

In the same way that sterling on silver signifies
a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em
blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of
newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu
lation so identified is measured according to the
rules and standards of the Audit Bureau of
Circulations
The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit
association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these
buyers and sellers of advertising brought order
out of advertising chaos by setting
up standards for paid circulation
and establishing rules and methods
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A.B.C.,
of which this newspaper is proud to

valuable service. You can buy advertising as you
would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known

At regular intervals one of the Bureau's large
siaff of experienced circulation auditors makes a
thorough audit of our circulation records. The
results of this exacting audit show: How much
circulation we have; where our circulation goes;
how it was obtained; and many other facts that
you need in order to know just what
you get for your advertising dollars.
