To avoid them, Snell suggests reduced speed on highways carrying heavier than normal traffic, greater alertness on the part of drivers and pedestrians in the vicinity of re creation areas, patience on the part of drivers caught in long lines of cars and careful compliance with traffic regulations.

Here is a brief explanation of the reasons behind the ban on dis semination of weather information: Meteorology is an exact science. We know that an enemy is operat ing somewhere off our shores. He is in possession of certain weather information, of course, because he is actually out in the same weather which will reach us later on. (As every amateur weather fan knows, the movement in these latitudes is commonly from west to east.) The enemy, in planning an attack, is in desperate need of confirmation from shore as to whether his cal culations are correct. With the in formation he already has, every little fact he can pick up from us is invaluable, and may furnish the clue he needs as to the best day and hour for the attack.

Congress limited appropriations to $1,500,000, earmarked to defray post office expense of collection, the association said. First payment of $2.09 is due February 1 and will cover the months February through June, 1942. On or before July 1942, it will be necessary to purchase a second $5 stamp in payment of the tax for the fiscal year July 1, 1942 to June 30, 1943. Motor vehicle owners are expect ed to go to their local post otfice or substation and purchase the rev enue stamp, which will constitute payment of the use tax. They must fill’ out a form with information concerning each vehicle—motor number, serial, description, and the stamp must be displayed on the vehicle.

CROWN Feeds and Seeds Vernonia Trading Co. Vernonia, Oregon Secretary of State Earl Snell recently reported Oregon’s Christ mas day was unmarred by traffic fatalities this year. On the basis of December traffic accident re ports received to date, no fatal accidents occurred, though there were several persons seriously in jured. Last year, two persons were kP'- ed in traffic accidents on Christmas day. The Oregon holiday traffic death record this year is slightly better than the record for 1940, Snell’s figures disclosed. In 1940, holiday accidents claimed a toll of 16 live« while holiday accidents in 1941 took 13 lives. Traffic volume on many of Ore gon’s major highways shows an in crease of from ten to fifteen per cent on holidays, Snell explained. The increased use of the highways, fatigue due to long drives, speed too great for crowded highways and lack of Courtesy and consider ation for the rights of others are the principal factors seen in many St. Helens Branch of the United States National Bank Head Ottico, Portland.

This "real income” is not a sub traction of cash income and expen ditures. but an average relative of these figures designed to show bow living costs affect adjusted Income dollars. Cash income of Mr and Mrs. Public in October was $1.40 for every $1 a year earlier. This gain of forty cents on the dollar resulted from the following changes per dol lar: wages up forty-six cents, and salaries twenty-two cents; invest ment income was up fourteen cents, and other income was up forty-live cents on the dollar. Rents in October were up two cents over a year ago. Food was up seventeen cents, and clothing was up seven cents. Miscellaneous Items were eleven cents higher than in October 1940.
