Keeping Fit" BECOMES ::' + ,s ss'ass.'''

ANS~HHsso ~ No. 1 PROBLEM
Production and transportation 60 hand in hand.
Every increase in production requires more trans
portation.
But the materials needed to provide more trans
portation-or even to keep present transportation
services at peak eficiency-are in almost every
instance vital war materials.
Steel particularly is sorely needed to build cars
and engines, to repair and replace old equipment,
and. to replace and maintain tracks.
How much longer the railroads will be able to
carry the continually swelling volume of war traffic
without serious interference with civilian require
ments depends largely on whether they can get
enough steel and other materials for their most
pressing needs.
The rubber shortage has turned freight and
passengers from highways to railways. Freight
which formerly moved between the east and west
coasts by water has of necessity shifted to the rail
lines.
Every railroad car today is carrying a heavier load
and travelling more miles per day than ever before.
Shippers, government and railroads are pulling to-
gether to get every ounce of efficiency out of the
nations railroads. Reserve capacity, nevertheless,
is running low, while wear and tear is taking its
inevitable toll.
This gigantic transportation job-unparalleled in
all history-is being performed so smoothly that
there is an alarming danger of its being taken for
granted-ofn needed materials being withheld until
the railroad machine begins to skip and falter-
until it is too late to make requirements before
serious failures in railway service have occurred.
The Great Northern railway, for its part, has not
and will not ask for a single pound of steel or other
critical war materials that it does not need in
order to continue to perform its part in the war
program and to safeguard the war effort.
