"We are experiencing a little of that." Bellamy said travel by motorists is up about 12 per cent in the first quarter of the year over 1975 levels, Lights On For Safety Week will include Memorial Day weekend, a period that could result in 340 to 400 traffic deaths in the U.S., according to the National Safety Council. Edward Bellamy, Oregon traffic safety commissioner, said Thursday that Oregon traffic deaths stand at 227 for the year, an increase of 29 over the same period last year. Both 1974 and that 100 accidents could be prevented over Memorial Day weekend if motorists would use the safety belts and head restraints that are standard equipment on most late-model U.S. cars.

"Only about 30 per cent of all motorists use safety belts," Tofany said, "and head restraints are properly used only in about 15 to 30 per cent of all vehicles that have them." He said head restraints in most cars are pushed down even with the top of the seat and forgotten. The restraints should be adjusted upward until the center of the pad is about at ear' height, he said. Bellamy Thursday agreed and said that the head restraints can be more of a hazard than a help if they are accounting for the major portion of the jump in traffic deaths.

A.M. Jail trusty arrested A Marion County Jail trusty was arrested at an Aumsville residence Thursday about five hours after he allegedly walked away from a car-wash detail outside the courthouse.

He is accused of taking a pair of deputy's days Floor 1975 deaths were substantially down from their levels in 1973 when Oregon's statewide 55 miles per hour speed limit was introduced. Bellamy ascribed the increase partly to a return to normal levels after the introduction of the reduced limit, but he said the major reason for the jump is an increase in travel by Oregon motorists.
