We Can't Win Walking

Increase in the traffic load, both pes
senger and freight, for the first half of
1943, has exceeded all the advance esti-
mates on which government authorities
based allotments of material for new rail-
road equipment and for maintenance.
Half again more freight service than in
the pre-war years has been performed by
American railroads during the past IL
months, and passenger volume has been
three times as great as in any of the II
years preceding 1941, according to z. G.
Hopkins, representing western railways.
In spite of staggering rises in wartime
transportation requirements, there has
been no material increase in the supply
of railroad equipment With the aid of
the country's shippers, record has been
made in getting maximum possible Serv-
ice out of all available transportation
facilities
But there are limits beyond which
shippers and the railroads cannot go with
present tools, however active and unified
they may be in cooperative and patriotic
effort. 1t must now be realized that too
little and too late can stymie American
shippers and railroad men no less than
armies Adequate additional equipment
must be made available ii the railroads
are to maintain their remarkable war
transportation service. We should re-
member that this war is being fought on
wheels-We can't win it walking.

its growth, and until he became asso-

Political Opiate

A bill has been introduced in Congress
which proposes to have the government
extend medical and hospital benefits to
approximately 100000 persons in the
United States. If made into law, it would
cost the people, roughly $3,0OO,O 100000
annually in taxes, to support what the
advocates of the bill like to call "free"
medical care. This is nearly as much as
the total cost of maintaining the Federal
government each year on the average
from 1924-33 In addition, the entire
fund would be at the disposal of one man,
the Surgeon General of the Public Health
Service, who, by law, would become
medical dictator.
We are indeed a sick nation if we are
willing to swallow such pill. After sWal-
lowing it, we would find that, instead OF
taking progressive stimulant, we had
taken political opiate intended to dull
our senses to an uncompromising truth
soundly expressed by the Lake County,
Indiana, Medical News: ut is only in an
atmosphere of freedom that the lamp OF
science and learning can be kept alight.
In all the history of the race, progress has
never lowered in subject people. 1t is
only free men who dare to think, and 1t
is only through free thought that the
soul of a people can be kept alive"

houses, and corn cribs.
He had dreamed of great edifices
such a sthe Greeks had erected
under the leadership of Pericles.
He was glad in the end to get a
job designing farm buildings. At
least it enabled him to eat and
have a roof over his head at night.
But it probably did a lot more
than that. It probably destroyed
lot of pride in him, brought him
to see that life in the last analysis
is practical, not theoretical, brought
him down out of the clouds and
taught him to walk along the ord
mary pathways of life. Perhaps
some day he will design great build
ings. But If he does, he will no
doubt find that he will do these
distinguished things better because
he had to design chicken coops and
corn cribs. "He that Is faithful
in that which is least Is faithful
also in that which Is much" God
prepared Abraham Lincoln to be
President in the nations solemn
hour of destiny by making him first
a village postmaster and then
clerk in a grocary store.
Humble tasks never hurt US. They
give us humility of heart, and true
humility is the best thing with
which anyone can be equipped.

They're Typical Americans, Too

One OF the most heartening and inspir-
ing stories of the war has come off the
never-silent presses of the Office of War
information. 1t Is rather unpreten-
tious story Of unpretentious American
people = people who feel that the I'M
precedented expenditure of money and
time and labor that war demands is not
enough to give. So they have sent to
their government something more VOL
untary, more personal, than their 10 per
cent in War Bonds or their seven days a
week. 1t is story that is both touching
and amusing. 1t tells of the little girl
who sent her penny, and of the rich man
who sent $4,000. 1t tells of gifts from
descendants of pioneers and from new
citizens whose devotion to their country
shines through hating, tortured English
The gifts include an eight-coach train
and $4,000 racing pigeons and German
iron crosses and Rolls-Royce and 70
cents from two Army privates, who want
ed to bring the national debt of $1O4,-
2O4, O22,O68.70 down to even money.
All in all more than 10000 Americans
(lncluding few neighbors from Mexico,
Central and South America) have swelled
the Treasury by $4,423,O0O
Americans today are complaining about
the government and about prices and the
lack OF beef. They are cheating on their
gasoline rations and cursing the income
tax, falling behind in production goals
and calling one another fascists and bu-
reaucratS and long-haired professors.
They are typical Americans, sure, but we
hear too much about them. It is time we
learned about the other - the Ameri-
cans who feel that helping to win this
war Is personal matter that requires
their fullest resources. Their story is
good one. You ought to read it.

declaration on the work or-fght alter

and hauling between VINO and Selective
Service. At least let us hope so, for both
agencies have been blowing hot and cold
for too long time.

director, told d Los Angeles audience that
he had been consistently opposed to dis
charging men between 38 and As from the

some Of those in non-vital work "as dis
ciplinary move" since it would speed other
men of that age into vital work.
Two days late in Santa Fe, General
Hershey stated he thought two out of three
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers could not pass
the physical examination if they were
drafted, and that many of these men were

Selected Poem
PLAINS

(By A. H Robinson in the Christian Science
Monitor)
You love bills and you the seas,
But Ia country without trees,
Soft rolling land covered with wild grasses.
Cut by straight highways where little traffic passes.
You in abundant shade; have none
Only whep cloud bots out
And makes shadow on the plain
Minute-long, then sun again.
Plains view is fine, say, vista infinite
To where the seams Of neutral earth and Opaque
sky are knit
I've seen the shiny cities young and busy there
Like blocks upon playroom floor, all symmetry
and square,
Oil wells perched in miniature could be hairpins
stood uprighD
And toy red slow-haunched cattle herded home at
night,
The distance good as meat to me,
The space familiar symphony,
And meat and music the prime seeds
In satisfying mans needs.
Which you find In your hills. and you in your seas.
But lin my country without trees.
