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

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.

Average Higher
FORT ROCK Rainfall in the
Fort Rock Valley has already ex-
ceded the long term yearly aver
age at The Poplars weather sta
tion. With 11.72 inches of precipi
tation since January 1 this tops
the yearly average of 10.34 by 1.38
inches.
Summer moisture has been
greater than normal here while
most of central Oregon has had
less than average. Rainfall from
June 1 to September 30 has totaled
5.30 inches of which 3.55 fell in
June. This moisture bonus has
boosted range growth, resulting in
increased livestock weights. Calves
achieved excellent growth.
Temperature-wise, the station re

on July 28 and August 24. Mini
mum readings have been much
higher than normal. The growing

a killing frost that flattened potato
vines as well as stopping alfalfa
