Montgomery, director, announced Monday fol lowing a check-up of retail stores by OPA investigators. At least one traffic death was reported in Oregon every week during the first six months of this year, according to Secretary of State Bob Farrell, who quoted the figures in answer to the opinion, often stated, that restricted driv- ing automatically resulted in a strong reduction in the traffic death frequency in Oregon. ordinarily Chocolates which should sell at around 75c or 85c a pound are being shipped in from outside the state and sold at prices ranging as high as $1.39 to $1.50 a pound. Approximately 100 retail si ores in the Portland OPA district, Ore- gon and a few counties in Wash ington, taking advantage ot the insatiable sweet tooth in this war boom area, are buying the candy often after it has passed through the hands of one or more jobbers, each taking a ma>k-up so that the consumer eventually pays about twice the price the candy ¡3 ac tually worth, he said. The longest death-less day per iod in Oregon traffic during the first half of the year was the eight-day period April 23-30. Here Week-End— Miss.
