6 Thursday, March 26, 1942. Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon Of the 108 persons killed in pe­ destrian accidents last year, 55 died in city accidents and 53 in rural- crashes, Snell’s figures revealed. Accidents Are Reduced in State Dangerous Hours Protect Crops, Agent Says One of the important items in the production of food for Victory, is to protect the crops from rodents; especially the gray digger. “Where gray diggers have been aljowea to increase, they are quite destructive to potatoes, gardents, and gram crops,” states Geo. A. Nelson, coun­ ty agent. Now is the best time to destroy gray diggers, when they are just coming out and food is not so plen­ Comparison Given tiful'. “Gray diggers can be destroy­ ed by various methods; either by In 1940, pedestrian fatalities con- shooting or trapping, or by ponson- stituted 37 per cent of all deaths, ing,” States Mr. Nelson.

There were 108 persons kill- ed in this type of accident last year, which was 27 per cent of the total fatalities reported in 1941. More thon half the pedestrian deaths, 53 per eent. resulted from accidents which occurred during the hours 5 to 9 p. m. About the same percentage of the pedestrian victims were struck while engaged in some unsafe walking practice as jaywalking, crossing intersections diagonally, stepping cut into the street from between parked cars, or walking on the right side of the highway instead of on the left, fac­ ing approaching traffic. Sixty-six per cent of the pedes­ trian fatalities involved persons 50 years of age or older. The month of December, with 22 pedestrian deaths, saw the greatest number of these fatalities of any one month during the year.

Weir, service manager of the Oregon State Motor Association, to store their anti­ freeze this spring to guard against possible shortage next winter. The Motor Association has been advised by the OPA that ethylene glycol— the “permanent” anti-freeze—and i.lcohol mixtures which make up the others, are among the chemicals needed for war industries, explo­ sives, and in tne radiators of tanks and airplanes. “The anti-freeze should be drain­ ed from the radiator and put into air-tight bottles or cans, and stored in a cool corner off the floor,” Mr. Weir said. When cold weather comes back, you will have protected your­ self against a shortage of these chenfcais, thereby assisting the war effort.
