That's because hte road is on
the property of Ellis D. Atwood,
whose 1900 = acre plantation
makes him one of the biggest
individual growers of cranberrles
in the world.
Atwood began acquiring his
narrow gauge - two feet -
trackage and rolling stock in
1910, but because of the war
time shortages of manpower and
materials, didn't get the road in
to operation until last year.
But since then he has COM
pleted construction Of $40 miles
of track, plus spurs leading to
sandpits, cranberry boys and
packing houses.
Atwood began buying his rail-
road originally to use as a work
train on his plantation. One OF
the most difficult of his trans
portation problems was to cart
Is, 900 tons of sand to his 90
separate bogs each year. The
sand, spread over cranber-
ry bogs in a uniform depth a
couple of inches thick, promotes,
growth of the vines, and helps
to keep down insect growth.
With lengths of temporary
track, which could be laid where
wanted and moved as easily as
a small'boy shifts his toy tracks,
Atwood's men were able
to move sand quicker and with
less physical handling that al
most any other bog owner.
Pride of the line is the parlor
car. "Rangeley," a 1901 vintage
job with plush seats, silk tdssels

wheeled cars, and a dozen other
assorted railway cars including
a caboose or two, a couple of
tank cars and a motor bus.
Although "Edaville" is in an
out-of-way corner of southeast
ern Massachusetts, it is close
to Cape Cod, and the railroad
does a thriving business" in
the summer months.
The Sunday of the last Labor
Day weekend, for instance, more
than 1900 passengers boarded
the train for the five-mile run
around the Atwood plantation.
A register showed that last
summers patronage came from
all 48 states, Canada, Mexico,
and a few other Latin Ameri-
can nations. Business became
SO good, in fact, that the line
only recently put in a line of
tickets, which can be purchased
for Is cents.
The tickets look like those
you'd buy in any railroad sta
ton, printed with the name of
the road and the point Of origin
and destination. But they aren't
collected - they are souvenirs
of the ride.
Atwood saves the parlor car
for special occasions, but almost
any group of 20 to 30 persons
who write for reservations on it
can have it rolled out for their
trip.
Atwood has prepared a list OF
commonly asked questions about
the road, and his answers, which
include a few gems like these:
"Why don't you run your
trains according to the time
table?
"We try to, but what do you
care? The road doesn't 60 any
where"
"Why did you name it Eda-
ville?"
.D.A. are my initials
and we had to call it some
thing"
Big days on the road are Sat
urdays and Sundays, when work
trains and cars are cleared from
the road, one of the engines is
fired up, and hundreds Of chill
dren with their parents line up
for trips.
On week days, a gasoline pow
cred locomotive stands ready to
haul a single car around the
track in the afternoon if enough
passengers arrive to make the
trip.
The timetable shows a 23-min-
ute round trip with nine Satur-
day, Sunday and holiday depar-
lures from the station.
There is a tenth schedule. too,
the only night train, which
leaves Edaville to make the cir
cult at 1901 am. Annually on
Jan. I - the closing of the At
wood family's New Years eve
party.

Fer a time Atwood used the
parlor car in his daily sightsee'
ing trips, but took it out OF serv'
ice except for special occasions
to halt the damage by children,

The "Rangeley" is the only
parlor car ever built for two-foot
guage tracks in America.

the "cranberry belt line" runs

AS further evidence of my con-
tention, that the American press is
an evil spirit of 1ucifer' and is both
d national and an international dis
cordant; let us take a giant at the
remarks of foreign secretary, Ern-
est Bevins, as a compliment to our
journalistic 'buttinski' called the
American press. Quote: the failure
of the big four conference in Mos
/ cow, was due to the United States
press Xxx x the United States
was primarily, the blame for the
press. End of quotation. The vile
SAVIOR of our press is easily con-
spicuous throughout the world.
This, in total disregards of a lib
eral pork barrel rolling Mr.. JOS
eph P. Kennedy, says: "Allies You
Have To Buy, Will Not Stay
Bought"
In refuting the asinine insinua-
ton by the American press, that
crime is the common property Of
any one race; I shall set forth some
examples of bias and race batting
publication, appearing daily, in our
American press. Publication: Jas.
Brown, Is years, NEGRO" convict
ed of raping a white woman. Note
the racial descriptive adjective.
Again: Marian Bryant, confessed
raping a WAC, captain. Note the
absence of racial descriptive adjuc-
tive. Marian Bryant could have
been an Arab so far as the public
know, yet, the raper was a white
man. The publishers are seeming
ly, too low in common decensy to
admit the fact. Publication: Dun
bar Junior High School will grad
uate 20, this year. Dunbar Junior
High, is a Negro institution OF
learning. Yet, because no crime
was associated with this institu-
ton, no racial descriptive adjuc-
tive is mentioned.
LIST OF CRIMES
I have before me, record of
crimes, compiled by the author,
copied verbatim from the columns
of our lamented daily press
(white). These crimes covers a
given period and exposes the most
beastly and fiendish crimes, touch
ed here and there with brutal sex
urge and human vivisection. Kid
mapping, Hi-jacking, Homo-sexu-
ality and sadistic rape punctuates
this list of crimes. All committed
by members of the white race.
When a young criminal (white)
admits that he gets a kick from
the death rattle of dying human
ity; there is something wrong with
that specie of humanity other than
insomnia.
