A news item about the report appears this week on page 1. The report pointed out that, of a possible average of 100 points for top rating, this county earned an average of 76.40 which ex­ ceeded the lowest county by just one point. Further evidenc? of the need for improvement in Vernonia is contained ¡n the listing of eating places here as the lowest of any in the county. V.rnonia rated an average score of 73 while being credited with one restaurant that rated highest and one that rated lowest. As explained in the report, considerable improvement has been evidenced here since work was started by the county sani­ tarian and the stat board of health to better the food handling conditions of eating places. Their work is definitely need d as the report shows, because people who patronize food dis- | pensing places have the right to I expect the cleanliness they are not g.tting in most instances. By mid-December of this year, traffic deaths in Oregon had reached a total of 361. almost 100 less than the 460 reported for all of 1953 and the prospect was that th? year might close with less than 380 deaths for 1953. This reduction can be attributed to in­ creased efforts of law enforce­ ment officers and other groups interested in traffic death reduc­ tion, principally the Highway Lifssavers Committee of Oregon Citizens, Inc. The Highway Lif?savers Com­ mittee has had lsss than a year of existence, being organized in Feb­ ruary 1953 to coopsrate with traf­ fic deaths, injuries and property damage, to bring down automo­ bile insurance rates. Rates, be­ cause of losses, had gone dan­ gerously high for the average man. Citizen members of the com­ mittee have now b?en organized in 33 of the 36 counties of the state and the weight of this pub­ lic group in cooperation with law officers is evident in the r.duc­ tion of deaths and also in the first reduction in insurance rates which was announced in Decern, ber. To top off the committee's work for 1953, E. C. Sammons, presi­ dent, has suggested a New Year’s resolution for auto drivers and pedestrians and we present it as worthy of publication: "I rssolve to stay alive in 1954.’’ “Anything I can do as a driver to keep other alive I will do.” “I will take care, but not chances.” “I will keep my speed under control, and my temper.” “I will be as polite in an auto­ mobile as I am in my office." "By courtesy 1 mean signaling for turns and stops and denial of the temptation to beat the light, steal the right-of-way or jockey for advantage on the highway.” "I resolve that the automobil? I drive shall be a safe vehicle and not a deadly weapon." , catun WCi T-Bone Steak Sirloin Steak Round Steak Rump Roast Round Heel ASSOCIATION HAI At« Boiling Beel c»." lb.29c 38‘ lb.75c 90‘ Rib Roast ST“*' Chuck Roast Arm cut lb. 55c Chuck Roast Blad« cut lb.49c Beef Stew Boneless lb. 69c 82c Grader Grades Grades Gra?.
