Bundles of old newspapers for sale at THE EAGLE George Neuner Accidents Cost Over 25 Million office Just Received! Oregon motorists footed a bill for at least $25,633,400 last year as their share of the cost of traf fic accidents to individuals. Secre tary of State Earl T. Newbry has computed. , Safety officals estimate the av erage cost of each traffic death at $18,000, injuries at $660, and prop erty damage at $160 per accident. These sums include immediate costs plus such hidden figures as temporary earning losses, pre sent value of future earnings for permanent total disabilities to death, and overhead costs of in surance, he explained. Newbry pointed out that the figure is" based on 1946 costs as determined by the National Safety Council, and should undoubtedly be higher because of intervening increases in the price level. “Even though we regard this sum as only approximate, it is nevertheless a staggering figure,” he declared. “Individuals are sel dom prepared for these sudden blows, and they are the more tra gic because they are largely un necessary.” A breakdown of the figure shows 63,590 accidents accounting for repair bills of $10,174,400, 439 deaths coming to $7,902,000, and 11,450 injuries racking up $7,- 557,000 to complete the total.

"Wetordry” For Use in Painting Cars or other Work THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1948 T Advirtùement SCOTCH MASKING TAPE Geo. H. Flagg Fellow from one of those public opinion polls was in Andy’s Garden Tavern, querying Andy’s patrons on everything from that “new look" to the next election. And it occurred to me that there’s nothing more typically American than collecting other folks’ opin ions, as well as giving out with one’s own. And from where I sit, it’s a mighty healthy habit. So long as people can discuss both sides of a question that comes up —whether it concerns short skirts versus long, beer compared with cider, or the larger issues of party versus party — we’re sure of the individual liberty that has made this country great. For it isn’t differences of opinion that matter. The important thing is tolerance for differences of opin ion—whether they affect the right of an individual to vote, to speak his mind, or enjoy a glass of beer. They’re all parts of the freedom that we cherish!
