TRAFFIC GAMBLING “FIXED”
PRESENTS
When you buy a sweepstakes
ticket, notes Oregon State Motor
association secretary Ray Conway,
you hardly expect to win; but when
you take an occasional chance in
traffic, either walking or driving,
you never expect to lose. But you
are 11 times as likely to be killed
or injured in an automobile acci
dent this year as the holder of a
sweepstakes ticket is to win even a
small prize.

TO SELL POPPIES
SAIURUI. M
AT 29
While disabled World War veter
ans are completing the millions of
popples which Americans will wear
in memory of the war dead on Pop
py Day this year, American Legion
Auxiliary Units in every part of the
country are organizing their forces
to carry the poppies to the public.
During the whole month of May ef
forts of the Auxiliary’s 425,000
women are being concentrated on
memorial poppy activities.
More than ten million of the
little red memorial flowers have
been made by disabled veterans this
year. Working In government hos
pitals and In workrooms maintain
ed by the Auxiliary, they have
transformed acres of crepe paper
and miles of wire into realistic re
plicas of the popples which grew
along the battle front In France
and Belgium. Hundreds of men
needy veterans, with little or no
government compensation,
have
been given employment during the
winter and spring.
Auxiliary Units are now perfect
ing preparations for the distribu
tion of the flowers. An army of
more than 100,000 volunteer work
ers will will be mobilized for work.
None of its members will receive
any pay for her services, all the
money contributed for the popple
going to the welfare funds of the
American Legion and Auxilairy
Junior members of the Auxiliao
daughters of World War veteran:
are expected to take a prominent
part in the activity this year.
By honoring the war dead by
wearing the popples, the public will
be aiding the disabled veterans, tht
widows and fatherless children, ex
plained Mrs. E. Brown, the Aux
iliary local poppy chairman. Tht
vast welfare program of the Aux
iliary derives its principal support
from the poppy day contributor.
Poppy Day will be observed hert
on May 29th with members of the
American Legion Auxiliary, Nysse
Unit No. 79. distributing poppies
throughout the city.

BUSINESS SECTIONS THREAT
Your life is most in danger when
you are driving or walking through
your community’s well paved and
marked business
section in Ore
gon, according to the Oregon State
Motor association. Despite equally
smooth
pavement
and safety
guides, residential districts arc not
far behind in killings. The state’s
worst roads—rural "cowpaths" and
bump link roads—are the safest.
Reclamation Beats
Journal Hotshots
the Reclamation tops the list with
two wins and no defeats. The Jour
nal and Outlaw teams are tied for
second with a win and loss apiece
and were to fight it out Tue Jay
night to see which team would keep
company In the cellar with the
Beeler Boys. Due to bad weather
Tuesday night, tills game was post
poned and will be played next Wed-
neday night.
Beeler vs Reclamation Friday
The Beeler Boys and the Recla
mation team have an argument to
settle in softball, and will take up
bats Friday night. No casaultie? a.»
expected, but the Beeler Boys fig
ure if they can spring an upset and
spoil the Reclamation’s record, the r
season will not have been in vain.
A game between the Journ-l
team and the 20-30 club of PayeUi
has been arrangd for this even
ing, and admission to this gams Will
b e free, the
sar*e as all soft bail
games.
FRACTURE FAVORITE
A varied assortment of fractures.
Including splintered arms, legs,
spines, were the favorite injury
tolled by automlble accidents in
Oregon last year, the Oregon State
Motor Association finds.
The rampaging Reclamation soft-
ball team went into the lead in local
league standings Friday night when
they walloped the Journal
10 to 4. The newsboys couldn’t get
their batting eye adjusted to Dick
Adam' speedball in time to do any
good, while the government workers
fattened their batting average and
took a five run lead in the first in
ning from which the Journal team
never recovered.
The way the standings read now,
