‘If you're planning that sum
mer vacation trip, don't forget to
include safe driving in vour
plans ' the Motor Vehicle Div
ision advises
Summer means vacationers
will be crowding the highway's,
and a little pre-vacation plan
ning can help you save time and
maybe even an accident.
The Oregon Motor Vehicles
Division offers these tips for
vacation planners 'T h e first
stop on your vacation trip should
be made before you even hit the
road-a visit to your local garage
or service station for a complete
safety check of your car Teli the
service man you're going on a
trip and ask him to make a
complete safety check of the
tires including the spare ,
steering system , brakes, hoses
and belts, exhaust system wind
shield wipers and washers all
lights, front end alignment and
fluid levels water, oil. m aster
brake cylinder, power steering
reservoir, transmission, differ
ential and battery »
“Plan your trip in advance-
and that means not only knowing
where you re going and on what
highways, but how long you’ll
drive Don't try to jam too manv
miles into one day The National
Safety Council suggests a 300 to
350 mile per day limit Driving
too many miles a day can lead to
fatigue that's hard to get rid of,
even with a good nights sleep .An
unhurried, relaxed dnve with
plenty of rest stops, especially if
children are in the car. can make
vacation driving a pleasure in
stead of a pain
"When packing your car. re
member that a heavy load
changes the handling character
istics of an auto, so don't expect
the same performance you get in
normal driving situations Ac
celeration will be more sluggish
and stopping distances greater
You'll need more room for pass
ing and you’ll also experience
more sway when rounding curv
es.”
“Load the car so that the rear
view m irror is not blocked and
keep hard pointed or heavy ob
jects off the rear shelf Even a
minor collision or a sudden stop
can turn them into lethal
m issiles."
"A heavily-loaded trunk can
affect steering and headlight
aim This is especially hazard
ous in rainy weather, when the
shift of weight off the front tires
can cause hydroplaning and loss
of steering control Proper tire
inflation and adequate tire size
are also important when carry
ing extra cargo You may need
additional tire pressure-or larg
er tires Proper tire inflation can
also save gas ”
"Oregon's open bottle law
makes it illegal to have an open
bottle of alcoholic beverage in
the driver or passenger portion
of the auto A cold beer might
taste good to you or your pas
senger but it could wind up
costing you time and money

Director Of M int Appeals
To Public For Pennies
“I’m calling on every Amer
lean, especially young people, to
get the penny back in circulation
and keep it there Mrs Mary
Brooks. Director of the Mint,
said recently "I'm calling on the
banking industry to welcome the
return of pennies during the
month of June I’m urging
schools, churches, chanties, re
tail establishments and others to
examine ways and means to
involve their members in col
lecting pennies for deposit.”
“The price of copper has re
treated. closing at $1 10 per
pound on May 24 There will be
no aluminum penny The 62
billion pennies produced dunng
the past 15 years have num
ismatic value and because of the
huge mintage they will never
attain great value." she con
tinued
“ Nevertheless . speculators
and hoarders of pennies have
caused what seems to be a short
age of pennies in certain areas of
the country But there is no
shortage of a supply of pennies ”
"Creating a shortage where it
does not exist can adversely
affect every public spirited cit
izen taxpayer and conservator
of the earth s resources It is
inflationary' should merchants
start to round off sales to the
next nickel due to lack of pennies
to make small change Again I'd
like to emphasize There are
plenty of pennies But they are in
the wrong places "
It is estim ated that over 30
billion pennies are in circu
lation-doing the job for which
they were intended Somewhere
in this vast country of ours,
however, in excess of 30 billion
pennies are in hiding These are
the pennies I'm looking for Thev
are in dresser drawers, shot-
boxes. pickle ja rs; most any
place you can think of that win
get them out of tl»e pocket and
out of sight They are unwanted,
unused and unappreciated
For the Min! to be forced to
continue increasing its penny
production to meet the current
extraordinary demand is waste
ful. Wasteful of a natural re
source-copper-that cannot be re
pienished by man And wasteful
of the taxpayers hard earned
monev One billion pennies re
turned to circulation will save
the taxpayers SlO.iiOO.OtMi
The current price and supply
of copper allows us to continue
production and distribution of
the copper bearing cent During
the past 15 years, the Mint has
pumped out over 62 billion
$
EM ERGENCY
»4
pennies using some 202.000 tons
of copper in their manufacture
If just 15 billion pennies could
be lured out of hiding, the Mint,
at current production figures,
wouldn't have Io make pennies
for almost two years and it
would represent a saving of $150
million
"Fifteen years ago. the re
verse design of the Lincoln cent
was changed from wheat to a
v iew of the Lincoln Memorial
The Mint produced 25 7 billion
Lincoln wheat pennies during a
50 vear period.' Mrs Brooks
said, adding. "The
Lincoln
wheat pennies do enjoy collector
interest-some years command
ing more numismatic value than
others Rarity is one of the de
term inants in establishing val
ue of almost any collectable
item Especially this bolds true
for coins
