Pointing to Kimnuth county's
16 traffic fatalities In rural
areaa during 11140, County
Jutltfo U, E. 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

"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,

them never owned anything big
ger man a peanut paten.
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."

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.
