Tonsils Removed— Death after dark strikes down many pedestrians in Oregon and elsewhere ir. the nation, according to the State Traffic Safety Division. In the chi.rt above, based on a pedestrian fatality study made in Massachusetts, it is seen that about three-fourths of the pedestrians killed were struck during one-third of the day. Chart Courtesy Oregon State Motor Association Dark Clothing Causes Accidents With approximately three-fourths the pedestrian fatalities in Oregon occurring after dark, officials of the State Traffic Safety Division today reminded Oregonians that the ad vent of fall weather means more hours of darkness with the corres ponding increased hazards for per sons on foot. Seventy per cent of the pedes trians killed in Oregon during the first six months of 1941 were wearing dark clothing. Since studies have shown that persons wearing dark clothing cannot be seen after dark by drivers till they are less than a hundred feet away, it is important that pedestrians take measures to protect themselves, the 'safety Division declares. At might, pedestrians walking along highways should always dis play a lighted flashlight and of course, walk to the left. In resi dential areas of cities, persons on foot should wear white raincoats or other light colored clothing, carry a white shawl, a handker chief, or a folded newspaper.

Make sure your leading lamps give generous and soft lighting. Every reading lamp should have at least a 100 or 150 watt lamp. 2. Remove glare spots by shading all bulbs in wall brackets and ceiling fixtures. 3. Keep all bu’bs and reflectors clean. Very often a large part of the light you pay for is wasted by dust on lamps. 4. Remember that dark walls and ceilings absorb light. Ceilings should therefore be light colored. 5. Have plenty of c.nvenience outlets around the walls, so that limps and appliances can con veniently be plugged in. Oregon Gas & Electric Co.
