Farmers to Join
Conserving Plans
EYery farmer will be asked to
protect wartime food production by
joining in community plans for con
serving tires, trucks and cars
through neighborhood “hauling and
riding pools.’’
Details of the plan for cutting
down on driving to conserve farm
transponation were announced re
cently by George A. Nelson, County
Agent, who was named secretary of
the county farm transportation com
mittee at the first meeting of that
group in St. Helens on Monday,
July 20. The committee decided
to make a check of available trucks
in the county and other transporta
tion facilities.

“Casualties on the home front,
through accidents, are striking hard
at the war effort of this nation
and must be eliminated in the in
terests of the preservation of our
way of life,’’ according to a state
ment from the office of the state
traffic division, recently.
The statement points to the list,
of 30,000 American workmen kil
led and 2,500,000 wounded since
Pearl Harbor, compared to a total’
of 44,143 casualties in the Amer
ican armed forces since Pearl Har
bor, as tragic evidence of the need
for preventing accidents in this
country.
