Tulelake Beauty Becomes 7th Roundup Candidate This newest member of the Devote a lew minutes out ot the Pleasures and the relaxations of uie wees-eno holiday to the memory ot all those who have gone be.ore us ana have helped to make this a better country and a better world to live In. We owe them a lot.

We are coming to associate boll-y and traitic accidents in our minds. That brings up a bulletin "iai nas just been issued by the iraliic salety division of the secretary of s.ate's office in Oregon. traffic safety officials, the Bulletin relates, are becoming concerned about an Increase In non-coliision accidents In Oregon in recent months. These reports indicate that an unusually high number of drivers are losing control 01 autos and careening off the highway. In April, for example, mat of these non-collision resulted in death lor ten people.

Three Of these rleafllK took nlnrp In one vehicle when the driver reportedly "lost control on an Icy curve." An unavoidable accident, you say? listen: The Oregon traffic safety dirt S'on says: "TOO MUCH SPEED FOR CONDITIONS almost always is the cause of mishaps which end with cars going off the highway ur sinning uxed objects." I think that is correct. In this particular case the driver almost certainly approached the curve go ing too last for the conditions that are likely to prevail at a season of the year when Icy roads are a probability. As a result, he lost control of his car on the icy curve and three deaths followed. Most of us haven't yet realized the potentially deadly monster we have in our hands when we hold the wheel ol a high-powered car. If we did realize it, we'd be more careful.

Here's a thought for this holiday week-end: When you drive, DRIVE I Put your whole attention on what you are doing. Keep completely aware at all times of the road ahead of you and drive at such a speed that you can keep your car under complete and easy con trol under any conditions that may arise. Concentrate on your Job. If you don't want to CONCENTRATE on the job of driving, pull down your speed to the point of smeiy unaer ALL CONDITIC38. Or turn the driver's Job over to somebody else.

There are few traffic dangers on our nignways that better drlv ing won't eliminate.
