"HE great freight yards at Naples were
railroad mans nightmare when the Fifth
II Army moved in For days the yards had
been pounded steadily by Allied aircraft and
artillery. Then, just before pulling out, the
ferries had performed job of wholesale
demolition.
The vast skein of scrambled rails resembled
a pateful of well-cooked spaghetti. Twenty
locomotives had their CUTS blown out. Fifteen
Others were almost as badly smashed. Four
thousand wrecked boxcars and 600 damaged
tank cars cluttered the right-of-way.
Ships were arriving hourly. Cargoes had to
be speeded northward to supply our combat
forces advancing toward Rome. The task of
reopening the ruined rail line looked hopeless.
The Italians shook their heads and said it
could never be done The British reckoned it
would take weeks.
Then 800 American railway troops moved
in. spat on their hands and went to work. For
four days and nights they hardly paused to eat,
On the fifth day the main line was reopened.
Trains began to roll northward to the front.

While some units repaired French
cars, built "shoo-flies" around bomb
craters and recruited civilian rail
workers, others unloaded American
locomotives and got up steam In
matter of days the Yanks were
moving more traffic in - hours
than the French and Arabs had
moved in a week.
Trains were bombed, shelled and
strafed constantly, but men who had
railroaded on the Santa Fe, the Big
Four, the New York Central and
dozens of other roads back home
not only kept 'em rolling, but made
them roll faster, and won many
citations and decorations for exploits
of exceptional gallantry.
One of the most spectacular OF
these took place when our combat
forces were compelled to retreat
temporarily in the heavy fighting at
crime Pass. A good bit of rolling equip

Victory Garden Pickles

As the last Of the Victory Garden
harvests comes into it, own. many
Of US will be hard pushed to get all
Of the fruits Of our labors safely
tucked into jars and crooks for the
winter season ahead.
It Is 80 important that not one
smidgin (whatever a smidgin -
should be allowed to waste away
on stalk or vine. that special efforts
must be made to gather In even
the runtiest and least perfectly
formed OF every kind Of fruit or
vegetable. (This. however, does not
mean that you can use spoiled or
marred items. Bruises, rot spots,
worm holes, moidly places and so
on may ruin every bit Of pickle or
preserve you attempt to make, and
the use of such material will, there
fore, prove most wasteful IN the
end.)
Flick your fruits or vegetables as
early as possible, and get them into
the Jars as quickly as you can. II
they must wait for q while store
them in a place that is cool and
dark, as heat and sun will wilt them
very quickly at this time Of year.
Picked beets are always a nice
item for the winter months-they
combine so we'll with such a number
of leftover meat dishes, and do much
towards enhancing the favor OF a
bland fish or egg dish BY now you
should have some nice little beets
from your late sowings, and these
are just the right size to make into
pickle They are easy to prepare
and here's how:
Wash the small beets well and
leave the tap-roots and an inch or
so of stem on them to prevent
bleeding" To keep their red color
even more, II the water is hard In
your locality, add a little vinegar
to the water in which the beets are
boiled. Boil them until tender, then
slip of the skins under running
cold water and remove the tap-roots
and stems. Trim top and bottom
neatly. To three cups Of the beet
