Railroad Noises
IN editorial from be San Jose, California, EOe"ing Ne~sN
ESn Jose ON THE main line Southern Paecs Coast Linl

WE HAVE always resented those
snooty expressions, "across the
tracks" or down by the tracks"
with their implication that there
was something disreputable and
socially low-life about living near
railroad tracks. After living many
years a block from the Espee's
rails, we rise to say that there are
many worse places to live.
Living close to the railroad has
its obvious advantages when you
are boy. Where is there a more
romantic place than the right of
way, with wheeling switch engines,
putting freights (Which travel so
much faster now than they used
toy and speeding passenger trains?
Morning, noon and night railroad
ing holds attraction for a boy,
which is why so many of them go
into it, finding a romance which
never dulls until they die.
''But how can you stand the
noise?" someone asks.
Far from being bothered by the
noises, you get so you find them
soothing and conducive to repose.
You get so you can tell the freight
trains from the passengers, and
you distinguish the touch on the
whistle rope of that individualistic
engineman who makes his blasts so
short, sharp and distinctive.
The various whistle notes repre-
sent to you these giant creatures of
fire and steel talking to one an
other over long distances and on
winter nights, when the wind is
blowing and the rain is pelting
against the windows it is pleasant
to think of engineer and fireman,
snug in their cab with the fire roar
ing below them, shunting lines of
cars up and down the glistening
wet tracks.
If these night noises from the
tracks are comfortable and appeal
ing to you during peace they have

New Baseball Car

Senator Albert B. (Happy) Chand-

BY unanimous vote of the 16

Rafael Valley until last year.
'"The first thing that baseball
should do after the war is help to
see that all the surplus athletic
equipment the government has is
distributed to youngsters through
out the country" Chandler said this
week.
"Give the kids a ball and bat

to worry about juvenile delinquency

in which we are engaged are trans

Some of the particularly long trains
you hear putting and snorting these
nights are troop trains and others
are weighed down with wars ma
teriel. 1t is comfortable to reflect
what a great job the railroadmen
are doing, driving their trains and
switching their cars "a hours day,
even while you are asleep.
Back a few years, when trucks

more deeply into railroad revenues.
with the airplane as an additional
competitor just ahead, as a boy
living near the tracks you may
have wondered a little worriedly if
they would put your old friends,
the freights and passengers, out Of
business. 1t took the war to show
that a nations need of railroads
continues, that no nation can be
great and strong without them.
You are reassured by that, and by
the articles and drawings that have
been published of vastly improved
equipment which will help the rail-
roads get their share of traffic after
the war. Such things mean your
friends will be able to stay alive
and that, drowsily safe and COM
Portable, you will continue to hear
the trains chugging and putting

The Erft bridgehead was up to

directing a hail of artillery and

Two miles to the northwest, 9TH

All these were operations to

no actual advances toward the

On the south flank, the First
Army was making a drive which
had carried to within 10 miles
of the Rhine traffic center of
Bonn, repeatedly attacked by Al

The Americans were three miles
away on the west and north from

STUDENTS TALK
ON WORLD PLAN

The Wilmington Civitan club last
night provided an interested
audience for eight high school
youths who expounded their theor-
les on national and international
affairs at a panel discussion.
Under the leadership of Walter
Goldberg, Wilton Rankin explained
the National debt and it's effect on
the Nations future, followed by
Irving Bobbitt who spoke on jobs
in the postwar eta through an ex-
banded public works program.
Following these two discussions,
Goldberg queried Bobbitt on his
plan and Rankin offered common
tary which served to clarity both
his idea on the monetary situation
and Bobbitt's remarks on public
works. -..
James Wells, speaking on peace
time military CONSUMPTION received
the acclaim of the club for his
clear and concise summary of
the need for postwar military
plans. At several points, exception
was taken by other members of the
panel but Wells was able to clarity
his plan to the satisfa ction of all
concerned. Rankin also championed
his cause.
Other speakers were Bill Lassiter,
Francis Chadwick, Gerald Morton
and Oliver Watkins.
Mrs. George LeGrand, head Of
the government department of the
high school, introduced the group
to the club and explained that
while the PANEL ideas were strictly
their own, the discussions were
promoted to further individual
thinking among the students.
President William Raney pre-.
sided at the dinner meeting.

a counter-a tack. Germans charg-
ed through the trees, yelling and
shooting. The Americans were
too few to hold them off and be-
gan falling back.
The lieutenant colonel shouted:
''Throw down this damned litter
and take cover" His men ig-
nored the command. He yelled:
II said take cover"
So they laid him gently upon
the grass and retreated into the
underbrush. There they watched
and couldn't believe what they
saw.
The Germans came running
through the clearing. They halted,
leaned carefully over the litter
and deliberately raked the help
less officer with their burp guns.
They fired until the eardrums of
the listening Yanks almost split
from the pounding.
Perhaps the Nazis thought the
colonel was too dauntless a leader
to live.
But his men call it murder.
