SAM’S FOOD STORE GROCERIES, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES An Independent, Home-Owned Grocery FREE DELIVERY TRAFFIC TYPS and QÜIPÇ Railroads are busy with defense transportation now and as a result, Oregon motorists were urged to exercise additional care at grade crossings in a statement from Earl- Snell, secretary of state. There are more trains and, in accordance with wishes of the army, they are moving at high speeds in order to expedite defense trans portation. Consequently, the danger of serious accidents at crossings is increased. Not only will train-motor vehicle collisions endanger lives and destroy valuable property, but derailments can hamper the national defense ef fort, Snell pointed out. The secre tary of state urged the close obser vance of these state laws relative to drivers’ action at grade crossings. 1: When the warning signal is in motion, drivers are required to bring their cars to a complete stop before proceeding across the tracks. In the interests of safety, drivers are urged to remain stationary till the approaching train has passed. 2: When approaching a grade crossing at which the view to either side is restricted, reduce speed to 20 miles per hour. 3: Never overtake and pass another car on a grade crossing un less you can do so in absolute safe ty. It is advised to avoid this prac tice as a matter of habit. Snell emphasized the need for equal care at branch line crossings. Many of these crossings are busier now than they were in the past. Travel Prospects More Favorable Despite the many restrictions now governing automobile use, Oregon's travel prospects fur 1942 are more favorable than had been predicted, judging from a survey just complet ed by the Oregon State Motor As sociation. While the majority of car own ers will be too busy for long vaca tions, at least 30 1-2 per cent plan motor tours and will average 14 days of recreational activity, the survey shows. Following are some of the other important facts devel oped : Prior to 1942, the average driv ing mileage for Oregonians was 12,- 096 miles but this will be reduced to 8,081 miles this year, an average uecrease of 4,015 miles. City motorists drive slightly more than those residing in outside dis tricts, the comparisons being 12,500 for the urban dweller and 11,570 for the rural resident. The average Oregon car has tires which will last for 1 year and 9 Care of Postmaster, San Francisco months, while the car itself should In the case of troops serving in be usable for 3 years and 10 mouths.

The Motor Association survey, conducted among members, is indi cative of the general motoring trend and conditions throughout Oregon, recording to Dr. E. B. McDaniel, president. He says: “During the past several months we have heard many rumors regard ing the true condition of motor ve hicles, how long tires would last, vacation prospects and other similar topics, but none has known the truth.” “To determine the answers, the Motor Association conducted a speci fic survey am ng its members and found that the situation was far brighter than had been anticipated. Even though motoring ivstrictioM are severe, our residents expect to be able to travel to a reasonable ex tent and will eliminate much un necessary driving to permit this ex pectation.” Guaranteed Watch Repairing W.

The guess has been taken out of lighting with the improved I.E.S lamp. No longer is it necessary to hire ex pensive engineers to help you with your home lighting. The Illumination Engin eer Society has paid the cost and you get the benefit of their experiments. The I.E.S. lamp has to pass 54 tests before it can bear the I.E.S. tag and when that tag is there, you may know that the guess work has been eliminated. Oregon Gas & Electric Co. WHILE THEY LAST!
