Albany Democrat-Herald from Albany, Oregon • 2

2 Albany Democrat- Herald Saturday, December 14, 1946 Accident Prevention Program Wins Praise Chamber of Commerce today stated that the traffic safety program Initiated by Rober S. Farrell, Secretary of State, in conjunction with Mayor Knodell, Chief of Police Chandler and Sheriff Southard is most timely and, if drivers will do their part they will avoid a tragic Christmas time death toll. Chief of Police Chandler and his force have, been diligent in their efforts, not only to the law against irresponsible traf-18 fice violators, but also to educate the careless and ignorant drivers in safety measures. Through the efforts of Chief of Police Chandler and Ray Porter one of our 10- cal theaters will run a picture from December 15 to: 18 entitled "Traffic With the Devil." Traffic violators, are being sentenced to see this picture because, according to Chief of Police Chandler, this, picture will leave its, mark on everyone and help many, to use more and better judgment in ing their automobiles, The picture will also bring home to pedestrians their obligation to use common-sense judgment in crossing the street at designated street intersections and to do the other common-sense things that will reduce pedestrian traffic accidents. President Ellingboe stated that our city and county authorities are making a sustained effort, not only to enforce the laws, but to educate the public.

Ray Porter, manager of the Venetian and Granada theatres was congratulated by Pres. Ellingboe for his showing of the timely film, "Traffic With the Devil." KING GEORGE 51 TODAY LONDON, Dec. 14. UP. -King George observed birthday anniversary quietly at Buckingham palace today.

FRANK ACKERMAN. Final Markets STOCKS NEW YORK, Dee. 14. (UP--A newspaper report that the CIO auto workers union won't strike for higher wages in 1947 except as an extreme last resort helped the stock market move up late in today's two-hour session. The New York Times declared that "A major strike this winter in the automotive industry over the question of new wage demands will be a measure of last resort." Automobile shares, however, moved only moderately on the news.

Chrysler gained points but General Motors had only a fractional rise. In the steel shares the effect was more pronounced, the group gaining as much as points in Bethlehem with U. S. Steel up 1. Railroad shares were' featured by gains of a point or more in such leaders as Santa Fe and Norfolk and Western.

Closing Dow Jones averages: industrial 174.73 up 0.83; rail 99 up 0.45: utility 37.30 up 0.20: 65 stocks 64.43 up 0.37. Sales totaled 550,000 shares compared with 860,000 shares last Saturday. GRAIN CHICAGO. Dec. 14 (U.P.)- -Wheat futures led corn and oats higher on the board of trade today.
