Vernonia Eagle Whoever said, "What you dont know won’t hurt you,” was wrong —and the grade crossing accident illustrated here proves it The driver of a shiny car stopped safely at a railroad crossing to let a freight train pass. The train passed, and the driver put his car in gear and started across im mediately after the caboose had cleared the crossing. But it was a double track crossing and another fast freight from the opposite direction roared toward the cross ing, obscured from view by the train that had just passed. The driver didn’t know the sec ond train was coming. And what he didn't know not only hurt him — but killed him, smashed the car into junk and de layed the train nearly a half hour. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these grade crossing accidents, which every day delays an aver age of 38 trains a total of 22 hours—a heavy drain on the nation’s wartime transportation dents, according to the Council.

THOUSANDS MAKE GIFTS TO THE U.S.A. CROP ACREAGE GOALS SUBSTANTIALLY MET, SAID The following comment on tie August crop report was made re cently by Marvin Jones, war food administrator. “The July crop re port made it clear that farmers in the face of many difficulties had' substantially met, and in some case3 exceeded the crop acreage goals. During July, grow ing conditions were favorable and current indications are that yields per acre in 1943 will be the se cond largest on record. The pro gress of the year’s production so far is gratifying. The hard work and the determination of farmers have placed us in a position to meet essential food needs, given average weather from now on.” However, the crops are still to be harvested, marketed and processed, and, in the case of the MILK!

The forms will also enable legally qualified soldier voters to partici pate in state elections. REPAIR SCHOOL BUSSES NOW URGED BY ODT School authorities and school bus operators have been warned by ODT against delaying the over hauling of school buses. Last-min ute efforts to obtain necessary re pairs may result in buses being laid up when schools open this fall. The shortage of skilled me chanics and the scarcity of repair parts may result in unexpected delays and a check-up may reveal that some buses cannot be repair ed and must be replaced. The ODT suggests that school authori ties or school bus operators con tact local ODT district mainten ance advisory committees to help solve problems that may arise.
