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. Even a

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
