“Black market’’ candy of defi
nitely inferior quality is flooding
counties under the Portland OPA
jurisdiction, selling at exorbitant
prices, ’Richard G. 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.

Chocolates which

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.

Farrell said. “Pedestrian fatalities
now constitute nearly fifty percent
of the total traffic toll, whereas
in normal times, they amount to
around one-third.”
Farrell urged pedestrians to ac
cept the responsibility for their
own safety in traffic by walking
with greater care. Observance of
traffic signal« and avoidance of
the dangerous practice 'of jaywalk
ing are the two principal factors
needed to reduce these pedestrian
accidents, he said.
