Due to the national food shortage

more than eight meals.

The Whiteface Mountain Memo

Over $500 vacationists travelled to

Now that the summer season is in
full bloom, every resort in the Ma
ton is experiencing an influx of
vacationists in numbers far beyond
the widest hopes of resort operators
| in the years before the war, and the
patronage is drawn almost entirely
from towns and cities within brief
distance from the vacation spot.
Harassed hotel and lodging house
operators, long unable to find time
or help to answer the many letters
requesting reservations, are con-
stantly answering phone calls as
would-be vacationists frantically
seek place to stay once they brave
the travel hazards to reach par
ticular resort.
For there is an almost overwhelm-
ing urge on the part of Americans
who have stuck closely to the job
through four European war years to
"go somewhere" and most of them
have the money now to do it.
Although early vacationists on
their return say they would do
anything rather than again face the
hot, smelly, crowded train coaches"
they fail to dim the ordor of the
lyet-to-leaves. People realize that
the transportation job took four
years to put troops in Europe and
that Uncle Sam is trying to bring
them home again in four months
tyet the realization fails to uuell the
restless spirit.
Overwhelmed railroads now are
threatened with the impossible task
of carrying load Is per cent great
er than their capacity, with 80 per
cent less equipment and the with
drawal of more coach trains from
civilian service, as forecast by the
Office of Defense Transportation
may come in matter of days.

Figures contained in a recent
memorandum of the Association of
American Railroads point to one of
the major reasons why the ODT is
considering the withdrawal of an
other 1000 sleeper cars from civilian
service Within 80 days.
During the World War, according
to the memorandum, the railroads
and Pullman Co. combined owned
passenger-carrying cars as follows:
Coaches and combination cars 1924
Sleeping cars 1851
Dining cars 1855
In 1941, they owned the following
equipment;
Coaches and combination cars 20,329
Parlor and sleeping cars - 1873
Dining cars ---.--------- 1889
In the five years preceding Amer
ica's entrance into the war, installa-
tions OF new passenger-carrying cars
of all classes averaged Bill units per
year.
At the time of Americas entrance
into the war. there were on order
389 passenger-carrying cars of all
classes. Due to war conditions, only
those cars well advanced in con-
struction we're completed. with the
result that installations of new cars
in the war years have been as
follows.

w YORK, Jan. 30.-Tom Gal
general manager of the Brook
Tiger football team, said today
had conferred with John v. Mara.
BSident of the New York football
ants, but that no decision was
4ached regarding the latter clubs
territorial rights.
The Tigers, who have been offered
ia one-year lease of Ebbets Field by
Branch Hickey, are owned by Capt.
Daniel r. Topping, who last week
end became one of the new owners
of the New York Yankee baseball
dynasty.
However, Topping cannot move his
football Tigers to his own stadium
without consent of the football
Giants, who play their games in
the Polo Grounds. Topping, heir to
tin-plate fortune, husband of Sonia
Henie, now is believed to be in the
Pacific.
1t also was learned that Chick
Meehan, head of the Trans America
League which hopes to start after
the war, is pressing Col Larry Mac
Phail, general manager of the
Yankees in the new setup, to honor
the verbal contract given J. Basil
Mcguire by the old Yankee officers.
MCGUIRE, husband of one of the
heirs of the late Col. Jacob Rupert,
holds the New York franchise in
the Meehan loop and is said to
have been promised the stadium
for his club.
Should the Brooklyn grid fran
chise be moved to the stadium, Nee
han probably will attempt to fash
ion the Eastern hub of his loop
around Brooklyn; Boston, where the
Boston Braves are said to be in
terested, and possibly Philadelphia,
with the franchise going to the
