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
