Traffic Death Toll Lowered Early estimates of Oregon’s Ii 1951 traffic death toll proved in trror when a later count turned up 428 fatalities rather than the 440 anticipated by a preliminary check January 1. Officials said December mis haps upset theif calculations by producing 25 d -aths. far fewer I than th?y had reason to hope. | ° Th? year’s trend had led to ex-<sf pectations of from 35 to 40 fa- taities in the fingl month. The unexpected fatality decline in December, which the state’s motorists and ped.stnans achiev ed in the KSce of th” year-end holiday hazards and winter weather conditions, brought the 1951 death count exactly even with ths final total of 428 re corded in 1952. Hopes for a reduction were abandoned late in the year when monthly in crease.. in fatal accidents failed to taper off. While the state hel^ the line in number of traffic deaths, vehicle travel increased an estimated 350 e million miles over total travel of the year before, according to gasoline sales figures reported to Secretary of State Earl T. New- try. The gai:*in travel resulted in a slightly lowered mileage death rate, Newbry pointed out. Fatal ities in tach 100 million mil?s of total street and highway travel reached 6.7 as compared with an even 7.0 in 1950. Understanding Needed to Work with Youth, Specialist Teils Leaders "It takes a great deal of under standing on the part of parents and leaders when working w-ith boys and girls,” stated Thomas Poffenberger, fam'y lif'L> special ist. Oregon State College, in talk ing to 4-H club leaders at their county leaders association meet ing on January 19. The meeting was held at the St. Helensphigh school. H? explained how boys and girls develop differently emo tionally, physically, intellectually and in manual ability. He em phasized the fact that they need love and a sense of security in the home. As they get older they need recognition; this helps in developing self w Mrs. W. H. Berkey, Portland, gave an interesting account of her trip to 4-H club congress at Chicago in November last year. She strongly recommended that club members o* encouraged to keep all their 4-H records. These will be useful even if®the club members don’t enter any special contests, she said. Mrs. Berkey a’so encouraged leaders to keep records of their clubs and club activities. During the business meeting in the morning, plans were made for the 4-H and FEA building, to be constructed ai the county fairgrounds this spring Various groups throughout the county will be contacted soon for support. A report on the building show ed $740 now on hand for the building and a large quantity of lumber already at the fair grounds. The pouring of a con crete floor will be handled by the fair board. It was decided not to have a 4-H camp in 1952 in view of the increased work involved with the building of the dormitory. The 4-H clubs ©ill continue their in- terest in the development of Camp Wilkerson, however. An explanation of the Inter national Farm Youth Exchange program was given bv Marjorie Hurula, Clatskanie. Marjori •, a 4 H club member, has been nam ed Columbia county chairman of the IFYE program. She will head the county drive to obtain funds to help send students from. Or •- gon to live in foreign countries for a period of three months. This program is being sponsored by 4-H clubs throughout the THE VERNONIA. ORE. EAGLE.
