HOOD RIVER COUNTY TRAFFIC DEATHS DROP Although several counties ini ,reKo,‘ reported heavy Increases! in number of deaths caused by automobile accidents, Hood River county reduced Its traffic toll from 5 In 1934 to 1 in 1935, accord, ing to W R. McDonald, director or the Oregon State Motor asso ciation In charge of safety. Mils Improved record, he saidj has been an Important factor in giving Oregon national recogni tion as a leader in street and highway safety. Rased on latest national figures, Oregon ranks second In the country among staten which have shown out standing reductions In motor deaths. “ Every motorist In Hood River county deserves the commenda tion of safety leaders for enter ing Into the spirit of the “ Let’s Quit Killing” program and mak ing an effort to eliminate serious accidents," the motor club offi cial said. “ A reduction of this sort offers a vast amount of impetus to safety work. “ It Is encouraging to note that this reduction was made in »pite of the fact that much of the driv ing In this county is over com paratively straight and open road, where motorists are tempted to speed where the most serious ac cidents usually occur." Mc Donald Bald that any de crease in number of traffic fa tuities last year was doubly sig nificant in view or a nation-wide increase. In Oregon, he pointed out, motorists apparently were becoming more and more intelli gent in ’ the operation of their machines, while In many other states drivers have not yet be come “ safety conscious.” “ Since the Oregon State Motor association Inaugurated its pro gram of safety In September, 1934, motorists In this area have been co-operative.
