According to D. E. Pearce, lo col representative of the Farm ers Automobile and Truck Insur ance exchanges, there was a re duction In the number of motor vehicle deaths in 1938 and 1939 for the first time in six years. In 1938 there were 32,982 deaths, and in 1939 the death toll Increased only 18 to a to tal of 32.600. The fnct that deaths did not increase materially in 1939 is an achievement in view of a six per cent increase in motor ve hicle usage. Unfortunately, a recent sur vey in 148 major cities shows a total of 6399 motor vehicle fa talities during the first 43 weeks of 1940 as compared to 6108 for the same period in 1939, an in crease of five per cent. . Unless Mr. and Mrs. American Motorist uso extra care during the rest of the year, motor ve hicle deaths will again show an increase. Pearce appeals to tha citizens ot Klamath Falls to do their part in making streets and highways safer. He suggests the slogan, "Give a Thought to Save a Life."

Tripp, general manager of the Gannett news papers, believes "If ever a last word must be spoken for the freedom and independence of the American people that word will come from the last gasping issue of a newspaper.

"Now you know that radio Is licensed by the government . . . You know it is restricted by rules from expressing any opin ion. Newspapers can have opin ions, so far anyway; can express them, and do.
