LET'S GIVE PRAISE
WHERE PRAISE IS DUE

We all take air, light and water
| for granted. The better they are
the less we think about them or
appreciate them. l. is only when
the supply of these necessities are
poor and inferior that we kick.
The same situation exists in con-
nection with the essential part play
ed by the railroads, both locally
and nationally, in mobilizing and
making effective relief efforts in
connection with the Ohio and Miss
issippi valley floods. We just take
railroad service for granted, and
the better the railroads do their
jobs, the less we say about them.
The railroads on both sides of
the Ohio river have operated their
trains just as close to the flood
lines as a train could be taken;
have set up emergency terminal
facilities wherever possible; have
mainland local shuttle service, at
heavy expense, in those cases
where service was cut off. have
brought in the great bulk of all
the supplies of food, fuel and equip
ment which have gone into the
flood-striken area; have taken out
great numbers of refugees; and
in general, made possible the work
of relief and rescue.
Without the public ever knowing
about it, the railroads mobilized
car supplies to take care of not
only the people, the livestock and
the relief needs of threatend areas,
but also the commerce. Coal mines
have been kept in operation by
reason of the ability of the rail
roads to divert and marshal coal
cars wherever needed. Thousands
of extra box cars were mobilized
with the idea that if evacuation of
the lower Mississippi valley should
become necessary on any large
scale. the car supply would be
available to bring out not only the
people and livestock, but their cot
ton, manufactured goods, stocks in
trade, and the materials necessary
to enable them to resume business
when the waters receded. All of this
was done quietly and without fuss
as part of the organized service of
the American railroads. Much of
it was done without cost to relief
authorities OF to refugees.
Railroads in the flood emergency,
as in their everyday service, are
pretty much taken for granted in
the United States. When a rail-
load took into Louisville in one
Light 35 caroads of coal and train
loads OF food and other supplies,
that wasn't news. That's what the
railroads were supposed to do.
When an airplane unloaded a crate
of bread at the airport one would
think that the miracle of the loaves
and the fishes was about to be re-
peated.
After all taking the railroads
for granted, like light, air and
water, is probably the highest
tribute to them, but, nevertheless
they are organizations run by hui
man beings to whom a word Of
gratitude and appreciation is not
amiss when it is so justly deserved
Just being taken for granted be
comes rather stale for the best of
us.

Basis for the petition, drawn

that the defense had not suffi-

Professional football players are
a jolly lot.
They laugh and joke with each
other often, and few Of them are
at all heSitant to tell one with the
story.teller, himself, as the goat.
Me m bers of Coach Ray
Flaherty's Washington Redskins
particularly are given to good
natured Gliding of each other,
and throughout the National Pro-
fessional Football League they
have gained the reputation OF be.
ing a good.humored outfit.
Because of their penchant for
good humor, and their ability to
exchange quick quips with the
best of 'em in the league, the Red
skins often are able to translate
their unique success along these
lines into valuable grid1ron asset
for their team.
GOING GREAT
The other day, a group OF Red
skins were going great guns as
story.tellers. AS often as not, the
story-teller made himself the goat.
Finally it came George Smiths
turn to tell one.
George, lest you know it not, was
an All-America center at Univer-
sity of California, although he
never played the game in his high
school days. AS a matter OF fact,
he did not play Frosh football at
California. AS a sophomore, he
was big chap, 6 feet tall and 1875
pounds. The coaches prevailed
upon him to take up football. He
liked the game from the beginning,
but was bit hazy on rules.
One day, with California pitted
against an opponent none too
strong. the coaches decided to give
all their rockies a chance to play.
Smith was sent into the game, as
a tackle.
SMITH TELLS ONE
Let George tell the remainder
of the story:
II sure was all excited, and I
wanted to acquit myself with the
greatest of glory. Almost immed1-
ately had my chance.
1--WE punted. I shot down the
field, hell-bent for election, bound
and determined to tackle the
catcher Of that punt like he'd
never been tackled before.
CAS- Ineared the spot where the
ball was coming down, ! noted
that my opponent, the safety man
and catcher of the punt, was shad.
ing his eyes with his left hand. I
figured he couldn't see me very
well and quickly in my mind
figured out a way to get to him
without him seeing me.
GOT SET
IT veered a little toward his
front and got all set. Just as ne
caught the ball I cut loose. l
drove into him like a ton OF brick.
Boy. did I flatten him!
Il jumped up all full OF VIM
and vigor I knew had executed
a perfect down-the-field tackle. !
knew, too, that my coaches would
see it. Was proud of myself, or
was I proud of myself?
well, you can imagine my sur
prise and my chagrin when the
referee grabbed the ball and
started to penalize us. You see, l
had made slight mistake. 1t
was this way: The chap whom L
thought was shading his eyes with
his left hand actually was signal
ling for a fair catch!"
