TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7. 15)58 HERALD AXD NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 3 A More Hazards Face Drivers Orcson drivers are warned to beware of the increased hazards of evening driving during the months of October through December. National figures show that these three months mark a sharp de crease in after-dark accidents and fatalities as the days shorten and drivers tend to continue their day. light driving habits into the hours of decreased visibility. In 1957. there were 127 fatal ac cidents in Oregon during this three month period, 82 of which occurred after dark. One hundred fortv three people met their deaths in all the accidents. The main cause of these fatal ities is the tendency of drivers to overdrive" thei- lights, that is. they operate al speeds too great for their field of vision. Records in the Department of .Motor Ve hicles bear out the information that most of the fatal accidents result ed from excessive speed and the failure of the driver to spot turns, the side of the roadway or his inability to stay on the road, re sulting in going over embankments. The total number of deaths re sulting from traffic accidents in Oregon in 1957 was 468. the sec ond highest on record. One fifth of - this total occurred after-dark dur- ing the last three months of the year. It is encouraging to note that the death toll for 1958 is down slightly from 1957. These last three months will tell the story, and one cad month such as November. 1957, when 59 were killed, could tip the balance in death's favor. OUTWARD TO THE STARS -What Does It Mean? By Don Oakley and Ralph Lane Community Club Holds Meeting CHEMULT The Community Club held its October meeting in thu clubhouse on Wednesday eve ning October. 1 with Mrs. Conly Elms, president, in charge. In the absence of a secretary and a vice president a new one for each of fice was elected. M r s. William orster was elected vice president and Mrs. William Taylor was lected secretary. It was decided to let the build ing fund grow before beginning more construction this year as the season is lute. Mrs. Elms appointed Mrs. For ster, Mrs. William Mott and Mrs. Sophie Long to work on the United Fund Drive. Mrs. Forster will work on the bloodmobile project. Which will it be? A missile against a city or a mission into space? Man has nowhere to look for the answer but to himself. If he is worthy of the knowledge his mind has brought him, we need not fear -the choice. If he is not, the Space Age may write his epitaph. Viewed from an orbiting station, man will be able to see half his small world in a glance and circumnavigate it in 90 minutes. For the first time, the idea of "one world" will or ought to have real meaning. The conquest of space will of neces sity be an international cooperative undertaking. More than a physical challenge to man, space will pose moral questions but only the old ques tions in new frames of reference. On the other hand, man's adventure Into space can benefit his world in many ways. Satellites could bring world-wide radio and television com munication, extreme long-range weather forecast ing. Gravity-free observatories, hospitals and re search stations could orbit the Earth. New indus tries and opportunites, and a new face to life on Earth, should result from the terri6c impetus given to science by the Space Age. Looking heavenward, man of the 21st century will become ever more conscious of the unthink ably distant stars. Like his primitive ancestor before him, he will feel a closeness to them he has not felt for ages. Man will ponder more deeply the question of other life in the universe, and his own place in this staggering prospect of infinite worlds. Some day the questions will be answered not by him, nor by his children, nor his children's children but someday 1 THE END JOBS SHOW IMPROVEMENT WASHINGTON (UPD Factory employment showed a "modest improvement in August, the Labor Department reported to day. Layoffs declined instead of ising as is usual in August, and hiring increased, the department said.

OTTAWA, (API The Canadian government should know late this year what cards it holds on the question of splitting the hydro re sources of the Columbia River with the United States. Engineering and economic sur veys, results of which are expect ed in late November, will repre sent about the last word statistic ally on the long-standing problem. opening the way to resumed Can- ada-U.S. discussions. But there is no guarantee either survey will make settlement any easier despite power shortages on both sides of the border in the Pa cific Northwest. Neither government has tipped its hand on policy. Ottawa's stand by both Progressive Con servative and Liberal administra tions is that the U.S. should pay in power for benefits her hydro stations derive from Cana dian dams upstream. There is Canadian as well as American opposition to face in di version schemes being studied for the mighty sno-melt river rising in British Columbia and dashing on into the U.S. It has been said here by officials close to the problem that it could wind up in the International Court at The Hague. Recently, a report on interna tional waters by the International Law Association said problems similar to those of the Columbia should be offered to the United Nations when other negotiations fail. It frowned on unilateral action. The economic report was or dered by the Progressive Con servative government, which since its accession in 1957 has indicated it wants to clean up the Columbia matter. The report will be a cabinet document and may never be pub lished. it is believed here, if it should find Columbia diversion plans uneconomic, thus strength ening the U.S. bargaining position 1 he engineering report, pre pared by the international Colum bia River Engineering Board, will be too late for consideration hy the International Joint Commis sion at its meeting here Oct. 14-17. The commission is the Canada- U.S. group charged with working out solutions to problems on wa ters mutual to the two countries Three courses are open to Can ada. The first would preserve the status quo which, in Canada's eyes at least, gives the cream of the hydro benefit to the U.S. The second would involve diver sion of the Kootenay River into the Columbia. The Kootenay rises in B.C., cuts into the U.S. and then loops back. The third an J most contentious in Canada and the U.S. is partial diversion of the Columbia and Kootenay rivers into the Salmon rich Fraser system: It would provide Canada with a vastly-reinforced hydro potential and has been bitterly attacked by the B. C. salmon industry on grounds hydro and salmon are ir reconcilable. The engineering board's survey team, accompanied by Gen. A G. L. McNaughton who heads the Ca nadian section of the joint com mission, this summer covered the whole Columbia watershed, visit ing every potential dam site. Implementation of board sug gestions would require public hearings, probably next summer. Gen. McNaughton. who has been called a "nationalist of the ex treme" by U.S. opponents, is the father of the Columbia-to-Frascr diversion scheme. He has said such a plan would result in a series of hydro stations capable of supplying Vancouver with cheap power for three dec ades and the Americans covet the Columbia as the last major power source in the Pacific Northwest.
