TOGETHER
BY RUTH TAYLOR


Today we speak often of nation
al unity, of the United States. of
the United Nations. But how often
do we bring this much-to-be-de-
sierd unity down out of the blue
sky of generalities into our every
day life?
National unity means just one
thing. You and I and the man next
door, the grocer down the street,
the newsboy on the corner, the
man who drives the bus we take
to work or market - all of us
must work and fight together for
our common ideal of good for all
the people. regardless of class,
race, creed or color.
This is a War of Survival. The
old barriers have broken down.
Men are lighting side by side re-
CARELESS of their backgrounds.
Americans all. they are fighting
for the preservation of the right
to work and live as free men.
The courage of a man is what
counts, not his class, race, creed
or color.
The boys who fell at Bataan,
who met death on the sea or in
the high air over our myriad bat
tie fronts, were fighting for us,
and together with us. Can we let
down their heroism by divisive-
ness at home?
NOW the frontiers are all
closed. There is no other country
we can run away to; At last we
must turn and live with one an
other"
So speaks one of the poets of
this new war. There is no lodging
the issue. We must learn how to
cooperate, how to get along with
our neighbors, how to live to-
gether.
Wherever our duty - our OPP
portunity for service - lies, we
must work together. in shop and
on the farm, at the battle front
aad in the home.
We must sacrifice together. We
must prove our faith by putting
into actual practice our belief in
the democratic way of working
together without asking other
than that our fellow workers
abide by the principles set down
in our Bill of Rights.
Therein lies the great difference
between the democracies and the
totalitarian states. They fight I'M
der orders for the State - we
fight together for the good of all
people. This is the cohesive quail
ity of democracy. This is why we
work together now. This is why
we will work together for the flu
ture and for a permanent peace
in a world in which all men will
be free.

DSR as Freight
Carrier Urged
10 Save Rubber

The use OF DSR street cars fol
freight hauling between cities ir
the metropolitan area 10 save
truck tires and free railroad cars
for longer haulS was advanced as
a probability today by DSR Cen
eral Manager Fred A. Nolan.
Nolan said tho DSR has suffi-
Gent flat cars and dump cars on
hand 10 handle an appreciable
amount OF heavy freight and that
light freight could easily he hauled
on passenger cars during slack
hours.
"The recent government order
compelling lake boats Ia stop
carrying grain and carry nothing
hut ore will put terrific strain
on every box car In the country"
Nolan said.
WOULD SAVE RUBBER
I'VE can help this situation n
great deal by carrying freight
throughout the metropolitan
area and at the same time save
ON rubber consumption.
although we will have all our
passenger street cars In use
nights, Sundays and holidays by
July l to replace buses, our rail
facilities will be taxed scarcely
at all at night. We would even
be able TO operate freight lines
during the day.
AT present we have about IL
flat cars and IL dump cars avail
able for freight hauling. One
DSR locomotive can probably
pull as many as three cars carry
fng rs much as 100 tons.
PASSENGER CARS ALSO
"For light, easily-handled
loads, we could even press
passenger cars into service"
