Thursday, July 20, 1972 The Nyssa Oat« City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Traffic Convictions In First Six Months More than 175,000 traffic vio lation convictions were re ported to the Motor Vehicles Di vision during the first six months of this year. The figure represents an in crease of about 1 1/2 per cent over the same period last year, and includes 5,315 convictions Tor driving under the influence of alcohol which, alone, in creased 35 per cent over the first half of 1971. Stepped-up enforcement and stricter laws relating to drink ing and driving undoubtedly played a part in the increase in convictions for driving while under the influence, but also re sulted in a sharp increase in the number of people who re fuse to take a chemical test to determine their blood al cohol reading at the time of arrest. The Division said it has is- Pago Nino Disaster Drill Brings Realistic Performance * sued 837 mandatory suspen sions for refusing to submit to a breath test so far this year. That figure represents a 108 per cent increase over the Jane? ry-June period last year. In addition to suspensions for driving under the influence and refusal to take a breath test, the agency suspended 14,795 other licenses under mandatory provisions of the law and 3,131 under discretionary authority it has as the licensing agency. Despite increased susDen- sions involving alcohol, total suspensions for the first half of the year were down nearly 12 per cent. The drop is partly the result of changes in the law that eliminated automatic suspensions resulting from failure to file a security de posit or conviction for driving on a suspended license. APPLE V ALLEY ITEMS » * ml ........................ »BY FRANCES SMALLEY................. %« à «.WB 1 1 1 Í I * y - Billboards Coming Down, Logo Boards Going Up Governor Tom McCall will participate Thursday in razing of one billboard along Inter state 5 and erection of one of the first six motorist informa tion logo boards. • Both acts are symbolic of the state’s efforts to carry out the highway beautification law ado pted by the 1971 Legislature. So far 83 billboards along interstate highways throughout Oregon have been taken down under the provisions of the new law. All had been erected since passage of the Federal High way Beautification Act in 1965. Owners had signed waivers agreeing that they could be taken down without compensa tion when the Act was im plemented. McCall will participate in taking down the 84th sign, which is owned by Standard Oil Co. The company is to be paid for the sign under the terms of the state and federal laws, and has agreed to accept whatever compensation is later deter mined. McCall is in Washington, D.C. for a meeting with federal high way officials to seek approval of a compensation formula worked out by highway officials and outdoor advertising repre sentatives in Oregon. The Standard sign is along the southbound lanes of Inter state 5 just north of the Wood burn interchange. Logo boards erected under the new state law provide space for company insignia to advise motorists of the types of ser vices available at the next free way exit. McCall will tack up the last of five gasoline company in signia that will be placed on a logo board just north of the Champoeg exit of Interstate 5, listing services at the Wilson ville interchange. Similar motorist information signs identifying lodging and food ser vice locations also are to be erected in the months ahead. The Wilsonville logo board is one of six being erected this month.

In its six-page cover feature on ‘‘The Willamette--Oregon’s River Parkway,” the Sunset ar ticle and pictures cover every thing from the state’s vigorous program of pollution clean-up to the shoreline parks and oceangoing ships that provide intriguing sightseeing for boat ers, auto travelers and hikers. A three-page map shows all the parks and boat ramps on the Willamette from Springfield to the Columbia, and indicates new projects on the shores of the river that will eventually result in a chain of parks, campsites, trails, drives and marinas along both banks. Sunset points out that new reservoirs near the headwaters of the Willamette have modi fied the river’s rampages, but have left enough fast chutes and white water in the upper river above Corvallis to keep canoe ists and kayakers alert. The lower river and locks at Oregon City offer a different environ ment, with barges, freighters and factories replacing tran quil farmlands as the scenic attractions. Free ferries at Buena Vista, Wheatland and Canby provide an interesting variation for auto travelers to the Willamette country, Sunset says. Each ferry handles four to six cars and makes continuous river crossings during the day. In addition to its Oregon cover and the feature article, the magazine’s “Letter from Sun set” editorial salutes the state’s environmental action program and pictures the new Oregon Dunes National Rec rea- tion Area.
