ReinforcementS

Roundhouses aren't very glamorous
places. They don't make pretty pictures.
The men and women who work in them
know the smell of smoke and the feel of
grease.
For theirs is the serious and rather grimy
business Of grooming thousands upon
thousands Of horsepower, day in and
day out overhauling, repairing, servic-
ing and checking the tons of whirling
steel and iron that haul the trains.
They fight too, these men and women
fight time, for engines arc desperately
needed all around the clock; fight engine
failures, for failures delay this grim bust
ness of war.
When this country went into the war,
the Great Northern had 882 engines.
That was fcwcr-by 5I3-than were in
service during the first World War.
With fewer but more powerful engines,
the Great Northern is moving more
than twice the traffic it did during the
first World War. That gives an idea Of
what has been going on in it, round
houses and locomotive shops.
When Japan struck at Pearl Harbor
several huge Dicscl-clcctric engines were
nearing completion for the Great North
ern. But almost Immediately came the

interruption Of gasoline and fuel oil de-
iiveries to the East coast by ocean.
This important task had to be taken over
by the railroads, and the engines which
were built to haul Great Northern freight
trains across the continental divide were
rushed into action in other parts Of the
country.
For more than two years the Great
Northern has had to do its part Of the
war job with what it had. Not until
recently has there been any relief in sight.
But now three new mammoth Diesel
electric engines are hauling heavy freight
trains between Havre and Whitefish.
Montana. Each engine rates 5 400 horse
power, measures 1913 feet, and weighs
463 tons.
BY fall it is expected that ten more Of
these engines will be in operation on this
mountain division. They viii release
nearly twice that number Of steam loco
motives for service on other parts Of the
system.
And that il good news for the determined
workers in roundhouses and locomotive
shops whose achievement in meeting
every requirement for power, when Il was
needed, IN fashioned another brilliant
Victory for the home front.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Wednesday, Feb. is, Mrs. l. A.
Riley entertained in honor OF Mrs.
Marie Mosbys birthday. Ladies are
supposed to object to having their
ages told, especially in print, and
your reporter is by no means sure
as to what will happen when it is
disclosed that Mrs Mosby celebrat-
ed her 18th birthday; but when one
carries ones age as we'll and is as
active at rs as Mrs. Mosby is, then
that age deserves to be mentioned.
The guest of honor received many
presents, and wishes were extended
for many more birthdays.
Another birthday celebration that
was held at the Riley home last
week was that of Mrs. F. B. Coombs.
The celebration was in the nature
of fish and duck dinner served by
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley. Guests present,
besides the guest Of honor, were
F. B. Coombs, Mrs. Mosby, Mrs.
Beman, and F. E. Sabin.
