deputy I While at Lake Charles, La.
Phone 1634 Lyons, Ore.
J. P. (Jack) Schimberg, a
deputy Marion county assessor for
the past two years, announced his
candidacy Monday for the office of
County Assessor.
This office was made vacant re-
rently by the death of Roscoe (Tad)
Shelton.
In filing for this position on the
Republican ticket, Schimberg said
that he has done so, “T$ith the full
understanding that Cliff Lewis
(appointed by the County Court to
temporarily fill the vacancy) will
not run for the position in the com­
ing election.” Lewis confirmed this
to the County Court Monday.
In his platform, Schimberg prom­
ises that: “ (1) I will extend to every

the Cook’s in the hospital at that

In part the letter stated: ‘Several
of our Rainbow girls will go to the
hospital and give several pints of
blood to replace that used by Miss
Donna, she was the only one needing
blood. They will also visit with the
girls while the folks are here. We
will also visit with them and if we'
can be of any service we will be more j
than happy to do so.”

tion’s highways
In one out of every two driver accidents resulting in deaths and injuries,
speed is directly responsible for this carnage on the highways. Other lethal
causes, such as cutting in and out, passing on curves and hills, driving off the
roadway, are indirectly the result of quick bursts of speed.
And the speed death toll is climbing! Faster roads, super-powered cars
urge drivers betond their human limitations to a quicker and more fre­
quent rendezvous with Death.
t
Rural highway fatalities due mainly to speed soared from 22,000 in
1949 to 28.2IM) in 1952 and over 31,000 in 1953. Those are the dead—and
> for every death count fifty injured, maimed, crippled for life.
Is this the price you and others are ready to pay for the momentary
thrill and the ever-present danger of death from speed? It takes only a split
second to change speed exhilaration into speed tragedy.
The decision is in your hands—be sane, be sensible, slow down and
live?
