Road York Given Okay The grading and ba:e surfac ing of 1.4 miles of road on the Seven Mile Creek-Rocky Point section on the West Side Highway was one of four projects approved Thursday by the State Highway Commission as part of road con struction authorized on the coun-l ty-federal aid secondary highway system for the 14 fiscal year.

Accidents Cost KF Residents Over $1 Million Each Year Traffic accidents occurring In Klamalh Falls residents cost the community about 11.100,000 each year, according to a report by the National Safety Council. The council noted thtt an aver age of six Klamath Kails rcsi dents die each year in traffic ac cidents, both in and out of the, city. Tlie (1, 100,000 figure was based on statistics over the past three years and includes loss of earn ing power, medical and hospital expenses, cost of motor vehicle repair or replacement, and the overhead cost of insurance. The figures were incorporated in an annual traffic inventory of the city conducted by the Safely Council. The inventory cave tlie city an overall efficiency rating of 57 per cent for its traffic safety pro gram in 1962. This was compared with a rating of 65 wr cent In 1901. but Chief of Police Charles Howard, in commenting on the report, said the figures do not give a true picture of the effec tiveness of the local program. He said some of the figures pre sented are misleading, while oth ers are in error. Tlie inventory noted that the "strongest area of your program" is trallic court. Trallic court achieved a 79 per cent ellectivcness rating, as com pared to an 83 per cent rating in 1101. The inventory commended the local Traffic Safety Committee, made up of representatives from various agencies, saying it is "well constituted to assume the respon sibility of coordinating and the reinforcing the individual activi ties of the various departments." Tlie Safety Council, however, suggested that a statement of "co ordinating objectives" be established. The report also commented on the Traffic Safety Council, made up of local volunteer workers. It ;aid the effectiveness nl the local: council could be increased by HI operating under formal by-laws;; 121 adopting a written statement of General Operating Policies; 3 conducting an annual leadership review, evaluation and measure ment of progress; wcuring staft assistance: and i5i devoting moie staff time to trallic activi ties. The organization was commend ed fur basing its program on the suggestions in the .National Safe ty Council's annual inventory. The inventory suggested that citizen safely organizations obtain public recognition for work done by oflicials and that local traffic conferences be considered. It was noted in the report that one person died in trallic inside the (if in I'Jifi, a drop of one from the three-year average of two fatalities. This fatality rate was 6.9 per 100.000 population or 0 8 per 10,000 registered chicles. This was a 57 2 ier cent decrease in fatal ac-, cident population rate and a 57 9 per cent drop in the fatal acci-' dent registration rale, compared to the previous three years. The 5.9-per-10O.OOO rate was compared to a national average for similar cities of 8 9 fatalities per 100.000 population. The nation-1 al rate of fatalities per 10.00 reg istered vehicles was 16. com pared to Klamath Kills' rate of 08. Klamath Falls reported 61 non fatal injury accidents in 1962, 15 below the average riirted for the preceding three years. BIC.

CALLISON KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE With the passing of the last holiday weekend of the summer season, the chamber oliice will revert to its regular Mondavi through Friday schedule. Like most business and governmental offices, tlie chamber office will be closed tomorrow Labor Day Commencing Tuesday, it will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m Monday through Friday. The tourist season, just con-j eluding, has been one of the busi est ones in years at the chamber office, largely as tlie result of the installation of signs by the State Highway Department directing motorists to the chamber as the official visitors' information center. Heavy office traffic has result ed in quite a drain on the supply of descriptive folders and bro chures; both those produced by the chamber and those supplied by the Travel Information Divi sion of the State Highway De partment. Most popular of the state litera ture has been the Outdoor Guide, showing camping areas throughout Oregon, and a rel atively new folder on Minerals. Fossils, Rocks & Where to Find Them. Of the local informalion, I he greatest demand has been for the four-color county folder which was revised and reprinted this spring, the Tourist Information folder, the Statistical Digest, just revised and reprinted, and the Historical Notes of Klamath County, first produced in f959, which Is about to go into its fourth printing. The greatest demand for infor mation on attractions on tins area centered on Crater Lake National Park, the Lava Beds National Monument, Lake of the Woods, Four Mile Lake, the re sort area around Rocky Point and the Winnemuccato-the-Sca Highway. Just recently the chamber re ceived delivery of 15,000 folders from the Winnemucca-to-the Sea Highway Association. Several thousand of them have been placed in the hands of service sta tion operators. There is still an excellent supply at the chamber oflice for anyone wishing to have copy. Currently in production is a new map and listing of hotels and motels in the Klamath Falls area for use in connection with several conventions to lie held here over the next sevei al months. For general use in answering both mail and across-the-countcr inquiries about accommodations in Klamath County, a separate insert sheet will be printed, list ing hotels, motels and resorts throughout the county. All chamber members are re minded that 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, is the deadline fur re turning ballots to the chamber of fice in the election of five now members of the board of direc tors. Beginning at 10 a.m. Wed nesday a committee of five judges of the election, Vcrn Owens, chairman, will canvass the bal lots. Results of the election will be announced at the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the! hoard Wednesday noon.
