38 Years After: A Monument To Brave Engineer, Casey Jones'
Memorial Fund to Be Launched at
 Banquet April 29
By JOHN SHEA

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 Cayce, Ky, April 14-The worlds most famous railroad engineer is to have something more permanent than a song as monument to his courageous life.
 The banquet and celebration that this Kentucky crossroads town threw the other night started the ball rolling for memorial to Casey Jones, the brave man who died try ing to get through on time just 38 years ago come this April 29.
 Cayce's citizenry plans to set up a monument on the highway near town to remind tourists that this was the place of Casey's birth. The monument fund got a good start at the banquet, with more than $400 being raised.
 Cayce is mighty proud of being the brave engineers hometown, and prouder still that it gave Casey his nickname. The real name was John Luther Jones-but his pals changed it when they found out he hailed from this hamlet.
 Present at the banquet the other night was Casey Jones' widow. Also there was Sid Law, now engineer and safety director for the Illinois Central railroad, who was the fire man on Casey's regular. run. On hand, too, was a slim old negro who walked with limp. He is Sim Webb, who fired for Casey the night of the wreck and who needed Casey's wis advice to jump.
 Recall Famous Wreck
 Many of the people at the ban uuet here remembered the famous wreck and Casey the man. They re- called that this Casey was no or dinary engineer. He was handsome. He was big-6 feet and hitting 200 pounds. And when he got in that cab, a train would perform some very extraordinary feats in- deed.
 Just about everyone on the Illi- nois Central run from Jackson, Tenn, to Water Valley, Miss, knew Casey-or at least they knew his whistle.
 Mrs. Casey told at the banquet how the first thing Casey did when he got his engineers job in 1890 was to develop his own very spe- cial whistle. A long, low, mourn full whistle it was, and when peo- pie heard it they'd say, There goes Casey" Furthermore, "All the switchmen knew by the en- gine's moans that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones'"
 Casey got a lot out of his en- zine, and the record runs he didn't make weren't worth going after. But if there was one thing riled Casey it was to be late on run. That was what finished him.
 For a Friend
 Along in April of 1900, just 10 years that he'd been engineering, Casey made an extra run. An en- gineer friend of his got sick, and Casey said he'd take the trip, al- though, as Sid Law recalled, he had had no rest.
 Casey pulled "Old 638" out of Memphis at II o'clock that night fully an hour and half late, Sim Webb said at theS banquet and headed for Canton, Miss. Fog and rain, but leanin gout the window and jamming the throttle Casey gunned her for all she was worth.
 Then 50 miles out of Memphis worse luck-Casey got held up a half hour by slow freight.

Sim Webb =. Smartest thing he ever did was jump off Casey's
 ast-traveling train.
 When he got "Old 638" rolling again Casey was pretty sore and he wasn't thinking about anything but get ting into Canton on time.
 Past Vaughan, Miss, a couple of freights were supposed to pull off on a sliding for Casey's speed ing pullman train, but when Casey came charging along, only Il miles from Canton and not holding her back bit, the second freight was just idling through the switch.
 Boy, You'd Better Jump"
 Now Casey Jones wasn't the guy to lose couple of minutes on ac- count of a thing like that, but when he got right on top of the freight, he had to jam on the air brakes. But too late. He turned to the fireman, said Boy, you'd better jump, cause there's two locomo- tives that are going to bump"
 Sim jumped all right and it was the smartest thing he ever did. But there was poor brave Casey keeping his hand on that air brake right through three cars and caboose. When "Old 638" finally stopped not a passenger was dead, but gallant Casey had taken his farewell trip

CASTERS PRAYER

Not where the drifting snows of yesterday Are melting in the mornings hastning sun, Nor where the warmth of monday scents the rose Will Easter's prayer bring hope to everyone; But where the chors of green-clad pastures sing, And play upon their joyful, quickened strings; For God Is where the bells of heaven ring And birds and blossoms spread their silken wings There is new beauty at each Eastertide; New loveliness at evenings twilight glow. The potency of Gods great sacrifice Brings quietude to all who love and know. The far-of souls return |. /. their voices sound Along lifes lonely road where faith is found.
