Reeder announced today that ho was Joining other county officials In a campaign for safer driving and walking during tho summer months. "Rurul accidents accounted for 73 per cent of the traffic fatalities In Oregon In 14," Judge Heeclor ' reported, "and only one of the traffic accidents In the lunt year In Klamath county whs not a rural accident. This la an exceptionally high accident rate 'or this county when we consider that only four years ugo, both In 1IM2 und 11143, Klamath was award ed first place In the state for recognition In reduction of ac cidents." Judge Reeder stated that most rurul accidents arc pre ventable, as proven by a study made by tho secretary of state, and that pcdcwtrliins were near ly as much to blame as drivers, In making his announcement, Judge Hecder pointed to the campaign's keynote, "If you drive, don't drink, If you drink, uou i urivc.

Boyle's Column "Professional Southerner" Is A Thing Of Dying Past By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, April 14 lI') The hardest thing to find In the south today Is a "profcie.ilonal southerner. I Just came back from a seven-week trio through several southern slates my first without meeting a single one of the celebrated gentlemen who make a career out of the fact they were born below the Mason-Dixon line. In his native land the "pro fessional southerner," that utrange vehlelo of dying preju dice and outworn enmity, is be coming a museum piece. "Most of them hang out In New York barrooms, making themselves ridiculous before the damn Yankees there, be cause nobody here will listen to them anymore," said a friend I met in Raleigh, N, C, Bad Name "They give the south a bad name by creating the impression everybody down this way is still fighting the war between the Slnlevi. , - "They talk about the fine life their families used to live on the old plantations!

The typical Inhabitant of the "hnncychlle and you all" . land today la anything but a white-rnoustachc-and mint-Julip char acter. The southerner is made up of a scries of concentric circles of pride and patriotism. The core circle is himself, and each man Is loyal to his own worth. That Is why there in little fawning on wealth. A southerner has too much self-respect to admit his neighbor with a larger bankroll is any better man. Highest Tribute Next comes the circle of fam ily, the tradition of the clan, much stronger than the north ern metropolitan cities. When a southerner greets you with a friendly, "Hello, cousin," he's symbolically paying you the highest tribute he can taking you into the iamlly. Only In China have I seen closer knit families but in China ancestor worship is a religion. In the south ancestor worship is a pleasure. Thus the son of "Big Tom" Wilson, North Carolina's famous bear hunter, hung up his rifle when he was one bear short of his father's record, be cause he didn't want to take any luster from "pappy's" name. The courtesy so noteworthy to visitors isn't hypocritical. It is solidly based on each man's sense of Individual dignity. You have the feeling that the people who didn't learn to respect the other fellow have long since died off suddenly. "One thing eure about the south," a South Carolinian told me, "our worst scoundrels at least are polite." City Delivery Service. Ph. 8417. Dr. M. C.

Bo-: 4062 Portland 8, Oregon No Excuse For Continuing Telephone Strike Telephone Company Has Repeatedly Offered To Arbitrate The Basic Question . . . Wages This strike could be settled quickly and in fairness to both telephone user and telephone employee. , ( The telephone company has repeatedly offered to submit the major question of wages to an impartial test before arbi trators to be selected from a panel named by the U. S. Department of La bor with the arbitration decision to be binding on both the company and the unions. But the unions have refused arbitration and are still striking. Arbitration Is The Fair Course We believe that the wages telephone people get are good. We want them that way. We are willing to prove them good to any fair-minded person. And we believe arbitration is the only course that is fair to the customer who pays the bill and the employee who does the work. Why won't the unions agree to arbitra tion and get this strike settled? Union Demands Total $100,000,000 Telephone unions claim that telephone people aren't paid enough. They have demanded contract changes which would add $100,000,000 a year to the cost of providing telephone service on the coast This is equal to a . . $45 PER YEAR INCREASE IN EACH TELEPHONE BILL .... 40 PERCENT INCREASE IN TELEPHONE RATES. Company's Arbitration Offer Still Open We could not justify, to our customers, agreement to union demands which would be equal to an average of $45 a year added to each telephone bill. But we want to take the fair and rea sonable course . . . arbitration. Our offer to arbitrate still stands. We can see no reason why the unions are not willing to submit wages to the impartial test of arbitration and settle this strike. We appreciate the cooperation the pub lic has shown during this strike. It has enabled us to give all the attention we can to emergency calls. Thank you.
