MILL CITY TAVERN Application of Oregon's financial 1 responsibility law resulted in sus pension of 5,973 operators' licenses and 7,187 vehicle registrations last I year, according to the department's ' annual report. More driver’s licenses were rein stated than were suspended, however. 1 Expiration of the three-year period allowed return of 5,009, and furnish ing of proof after suspension another 3,593 Total of 4,051 vehicle regis tration were reinstated on filling of proof. December was the month of heavi- ■ est activity, with 792 operators’ and 907 vehicle licenses suspended. Feb ruary showed the lowest totals, af-1 fecting only 139 operators and 200 vehicles. October was tops in revo cations for drunken driving with 232. Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, whose office administers the act, pointed out that the number of drivers and vehicles affected by sus pensions is only a little over one per cent of the state's total. “Our records show, however, that a small minority of drivers are “acci dent repeaters", and are responsible for more than their share of acci. dents and convictions”, the Secretary declared. While the law may not keep this group from driving, it pro vides some assurance to the public that they will be able to meet the responsibilities they assume in own ing or operating a vehicle.” Its open to debate whether it's more dangerous for a man to allow his wife to drive or refuse to let her.
