NYSSA BRANCH FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OREGON Memorial Day is a time when Americans offer respectful honor to their war dead, but it is also a time when many Ame ricans are injured or killed on the nation’s highways. The problem is accentuated in Oregon where the three-day holiday weekend represents the year’s first nice-weather break from weekly routine and the chance to take long jaunts, says the Insurance Information In stitute. Increased traffic, weekend weariness, distracting sights and carefree driving will all help to create hazardous con ditions for Oregon motorists. Many will be involved in acci dents unless certain precau tions are observed. Last year, 7 persons were killed in Memorial Day crack- ups on the state’s roadways. Another 291 were injured. According to the Institute, during the three-day period highway deaths, on an average, will run about 15 to 18 per cent above comparable non- holiday periods. Moreover, the weekend represents one of the six national holidays during which between 6 and 8 per cent of all traffic fatalities occur. The Institute advises that you can reduce the chances of be coming a Memorial Day traffic statistic by following a few rules; * Don't attempt to drive too far in three days. For night trips arrange for someone else to help drive--death rates are highest at night. • Break the trip into fre quent stops and open windows for fresh air. • Make effective use of your eyes. Keep them moving to spot situations at the earliest moments and expect the un expected. ♦ Don’t drive competitively and give a little. Anti-social factors make congested high ways a hostile environment. ♦ Exercise a proper regard for all traffic laws, especially those relating to speeding and drinking and driving.
