1973 Oregon State Fair
May Traffic Death
loll Lowest in
May Be Last State Fair
Seven Years
STATEMENT BY LEE IRWIN
Oregon State Fair Commission
The lowest May traffic death
toll in seven years was re
corded in Oregon last month
when 49 people were killed in
traffic crashes.
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.

Summer Travel Kit
Available For Asking
Seaside castles, streams full
of gold, ghost towns echoing
from the past. They’re all yours
for the asking in Ford Dealers
"HAVE A GOOD FORD SUM
MER TRAVEL KIT,” available
FREE
at
your local Ford
Dealer.
Over 40 unusual adventures
are listed in the six, 8-page
booklets contained in this sum
mer travel package. Also in
cluded is a complete list of
Ford Dealers throughout the
West to insure your motoring
safety along with color-coded
maps and hints for your trave
ling pleasure.
The materials in ‘‘HAVE A
GOOD FORD SI MMER” were
researched and prepared by
leading travel editors.
The
adventures
are designed to
guide families to unique places
in 14 Western states with sug
gestions for what to see and do
during this summer.
You can travel from Chey
enne’s Frontier Days with a
wild rodeo to special towns in
Arizona and California where
the ghosts of the gold miners
still whisper through empty
saloons. You can climb moun
tains
and
wander
through
national parklands where the
wildlife still outnumber the hu
mans. 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.
