Highway Safety
Record Improves

'Montana's streets and high
ways are definitely safer than
they were before the war;"
Montana Highway Patrol Super
visor Charles L. Sheridan said
this week.
During the last quarter of 1916,
SO persons were killed in traffic
accidents while the same period
of 1915 claimed as lives. This is a
reduction of more than l5percent.
During October, November and
December of 1871, the nations
worst for traffic accidents, 81
persons were killed in Montana,
or "a percent more than in 1916,
Sheridan revealed.
During the same period, Mon
tana's highway traffic has in
creased, to prove that motorists
are more safety conscious than
before the war. Statistics from
the mechanical counters reveal
1916 traffic was l6 percent higher
than 1941.
I'm spite of this reduction"
Sheridan continued. every mot
orist and pedestrian should be
more careful than ever. The
slaughter on our highways can
be eliminated, if everyone in
Montana drives in a safe, sane
and courteous manner. 1t will
take the efforts of everyone to
make Montana completely safe"

Oscar ThrOnSOn
Gets Headlines
All OUe1' COuntru

Oscar Thronson, Babb m e r.
chant and postmaster, as the re-
suit of developments growing
out of western Glacier County's
unprecedented'winter, made more
banner lines" than did most
high bracket" personalities dur
ing the same period of time.
Even the New York Times car
ried a running story on some of
its more dominant pages, quot
ing the Babb citizen on how his
community was faring in the
midst of mountains of snow.
The dramatic Bob Trout, CHS
news easter, looked up Thronson
for something to startle his hear
ers.
In a letter to J. L. Sherburne,
Joseph Rankin, who some years
ago established Chief Mountain
Guest Ranch near Babb, was
considerably concerned.
Now a resident of New York
City, Rankin sent back, clippings
from the Times showing how
Montana's spectacular weather
was being featured.
People from various remote
sections, formerly of this local
ity, sent local friends clippings
from newspapers carrying the
story.
Surely, Babb is now on the U.
S. map. And probably a magni-
flying glass will reveal Thronson
squatting on the little black or
red designation showing where
all the snow was.

the matter over to Commissioner
