The May deaths brought the state’s flve-month traffic death toll to 242--a decrease of more than 8 1/2 percent over the same period a year ago, according to the Motor Vehicles Division. The division report, however, noted that the toll would have been even lower if some of those killed had been wearing safety belts at the time of the crashes. It noted that tentative reports indicate that nine people were thrown from their vehicles at the time of impact. At least seven of these had seat belts in their vehicles, tail the belts were not in use. Fifteen others had belts in their cars, not in use, and died from injuries re ceived inside the vehicles.

Or take a lasting look forcing us to take the Oregon State Fair, one of the finest in the nation, away from the people who have enjoyed it so much for so many years. Either alter native would be a crippling blow to a state which prides itself in the quality of its agricul tural products and its people. We would have to deny the people of the state the present year-round use of the Fair grounds. We would have to eliminate Senior Citizens Day, ( hildren's Day, Family Day at the Fair. We would be for ced to increase admission pri ces beyond the reach of many underprivileged people. If the construction grant in crease is not approved, the Le gislature will, in effect, be saying to the people of Oregon, whose Fair this is, "WE WILL ALLOW THE FAIR TO DIE.” The Fair future is now in the hands of Ways and Means. We hope the people of Oregon, if they are as concerned as we are about the future of our great Oregon State Fair, will let this committee and the entire Legislative body know how they feel.
