Young and Old
Death Rate High
Many Motorist» Fail to Consider
Children and Elderly Must
Be Guarded
The probability of an injury in
an automobile accident proving
fatal is greatest at the very
young and at the older ages. Un­
der the age of four, the rate of
death per injury was 12 per cent
greater than the average for all
ages combined in 1933, and in the
ages of 65 years and over, it was
280 per cent worse than the av­
erage.
These statistics reflect what
one would expect. Yet many par­
ents do not seem to be aware of
the fact that young children need
to be warned constantly of the
hazards of the streets and high­
ways. And many drivers seem to
forget that in residential districts,
especially, children may dart into
the street at any moment. Neither
can elderly people be expected
always to take care of themselves.
Record of Child Deaths
Five hundred children were
killed in 1933 as occupants of
cars in collision. More than 3,700
children were killed as pedes­
trians. Children under the age of
15 killed in automobile accidents
in 1933 numbered 4,850. That re­
cord is regarded by many as a
blot on our state of civilization.
Other statistics compiled show
that 180,180 children under the
age of 15 were injured in auto­
mobile accidents last year. Of
these, 120,150 were pedestrians
and 41,260 were occupants of
cars that were in collision. Deaths
or children comprised more than
16 per cent of last year’s 29,900
fatalaties and the number injured
was more than 21 per cent of the
850,700 personal injury toll.
TOURIST REGISTRATION
Continued increase in out-of-
state registration is shown by the
May reports of nonresident bur­
eaus conducted under the super­
vision of the secretary of state’s
office. A gain of 1,042 motor ve­
hicles was indicated for this year,
with 7,493 cars checking in for
driving permits.
More visitors’ motor vehicles
were registered in May than dur­
ing the entire first quarter of the
year, indicating
a substantial
pick-up in tourist travel. Grants
Pass, listing 1,855 cars, led all
stations and had a 50 per cent
lead over its nearest competitor,
Ashland, where 1,249 cars were
checked. Greater use of the coast
highway in northern California
is seen in the Grants Pass regis­
trations, many cars entering Ore­
gon over the Redwood route.
Since the first of the year,
19,648 out-of-state cars have been
listed at Oregon stations, bring­
ing approximately 58,090 visitors
to the state.
“FRAYED CONDITION”
OF TREE TROOPERS
IS SOON REMEDIED
Sometimes young gentlemen—
and older ones for that matter—
join the so-called “tree troopers”
in a slightly frayed condition.
Frayed, that is, in a material
way; as, for instance, is exempli­
fied by bottomless shoes or brim­
less hats. Perhaps one could men­
tion crazy-patch pants and collar­
less shirts. The point is, let us
assume a general scarcity on part
of the rookee.
Then what happens with entry
into the Civilian Conservation
corps?
Each member of the corps is
entitled for issue, by the war de­
partment, clothing as follows:
Toilet kit, tie, one pair olive drab
trousers, 2 pairs blue
denim
trousers, two jumpers, four pairs
socks, one pair shoes and one
pair logger’s boots, two olive
drab shirts, three pairs under­
wear, one overcoat, overseas cap,
winter cap, working hat, olive
drab jacket, felt jerkin, lumber­
jacket, working gloves, mittens,
leggings, belt and arctic over­
shoes.
Equipment includes canteen,
meatpan, knife, fork and spoon,
cup, four blankets, a comforter
and bed sack. Tf necessary, a mos­

Construction of
Truck Trail to
Round Top Begins
Some 25 men from Camp Reeh-
er’s CCC are working on the con­
struction of a truck trail to
Round Top mountain, near Wes-
timber. The roadway has been
“swamped” out more than 2%
miles to date.
The road will wind up the
mountain side five miles when
oompleted, ascending most of
the way on a grade of nearly
12 per cent.
Eight men employed at the
Hoffman side camp have con­
structed five miles of telephone
line. The line when completed will
extend from Pebble creek to Ba-
cona.
Road maintenance continues to
be the principal occupation of the
25-man side camp at Wilark.
CCC’S VISIT GUARD CAMP
Under the leadership of Al
Muthersbaugh, senior foreman of
Company 1313, fourteen members
of the company enjoyed a trip
to the Oregon national guard
camp at Clatsop beach June 23.
The party, provided with the |
use of a forestry truck by Sup- I
erintendent
Jack Moran,
left
Westimber at nine o’clock in the
morning. Upon arrival at Camp
Clatsop, they were entertained
by Headquarters company, 186th
Inf., Capt. Gordon D. Stryker,
commanding. Following a chicken
dinner furnished by the company
commanded by their host, the men
watched with considerable inter­
est a demonstration of modern
warfare methods, the brigade re­
view and a special drill staked
by the second battalion of the
186th infantry, a Portland unit
under the command of Major
James Shirly.
Included in the demonstration
were detachments of artillery,
machine guns, infantry, howitzers
and Stokes mortars.
