The skidding of the car, in and of itself does not necessarily in dicate any negligence. In this case the accident hap pened through no fault of Mr. Jones, the court held.

Even a slight variance in fact may change the applica tion of the law. "4 SAMPLE BALLOT I automobile gradually overtook Jim m y’s bicycle, Jones turned to the left in order to pass. When the car was about 12 feet behind the bicycle, Jim m y’s poncho was caught by the wind and suddenly spread out toward the course which Mr. Jones was traveling. Jones, not rea lizing just what had happened, Driver In An Emercency Jimmy was riding his bicycle home on a dark, stormy night. The concrete highway was wet and slippery. Mr. Jones was driving in the same direction as Jimmy was traveling. Visibility was very poor, and he was driving less than 15 miles per hour. As his instinctively applied the brak«, causing his car to skid so the rear of the car hit the bicyle Jimmy was hurt. Jimmy and his parents sued Jones claiming that the accident was his fault. The jury decided in favor of Mr. Jones. On appeal the Supreme Court upheld this verdict. Thz court pointed out that the evidence showed no negligence by Jones. He was driving slow ly and with care. He had turn ed to his left and allowed a sufficient clearance had it not made in the initial 300-tree se lection, but it is anticipated that 100 of the 300 will show super ior results over the next 50 years, according ta Robertson. These 100 should be able to meet Stamm Tree Farm 's fu ture stands from a lower num ber of total parents. With Longview Fibre Co. and the state of Oregon both join ing the CZ program in 1967, the parent tree pool has been in creased to 900 in the Stamm Tree Farm area. International Paper Co. joined the program in 1969, and other private Nor thwest landowners and public agencies are expected to join efforts late to help grow super ior and higher fiber yield trees to meet future Northwest tim ber needs. Greenhouse Is Now Available Many am ateur gardeners have long wanted their own greenhouses, hut have hesitated because they just aren’t sure what would be “right” for their interests and pocketbooks. “The Hobby Greenhouse,” a new bulletin now available from the Oregon State University Co operative Extension Service, is designed to give home garden ers some basic information so they can make some sound de cisions before starting a green house project. The new bulletin covers such subjects as materials for cons truction, heating systems, venti lation, equipment, insect con trol and types of plants which do particularly well in a home greenhouse setting. Written by George W. Wood bury, professor of horticulture at the University of Idaho, the bulletin is a Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension publica tion for the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. It was reviewed and approved by OSU extension horticulturists for use in Oregon. Copies of the bulletin are available from county exten sion offices or from the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corvallis 97331. Traffic Claims 50 On Stale Highways April traffic claimed 50 lives in Oregon, a figure nearly 22 per cent higher than that month a year ago, according to the motor vehicles division. The four month death toll was 202, compared with 190 for the same period in 1969. Twenty-one were killed in weekend traffic crashes—an in dication that with the return of spring more people are taking to the open highway for week end outings. Analysis indicated that the leading types of fatal accidents last month were non-collision crashes, in which one vehicle ran off the road; striking a fix ed object, and head-on crashes. CLASSIFIED AOS
