fellas! Yes, spring vacation has
closed the doors Of many Of the
halls o %nearning, and spilled forth
those seeking book "larnin'," and
sent them homeward. I've been
home a week now, and I'm glad
to say, nothing has changed about
the old hometown. Even the gang
that holds up Saunders is back on
the job, and upon close observa-
ton, I find that they have added
some new recruits to the e
But the old.timers like Whitley
Aud, Billy MAC" Sam Behrends,
Bill Huffman, and Willie Hewlett
are still there in profusion! Ny
brother has been added as of
the newcomers, and cumming
around with him is Robert Bell.
I don't know what Wake Forest is

Shirley Brown and Betty Hanson

Congratulations to the At WIN

nation contest. Sho' was glad to
hear that Frank Bradley won first
for the upperclassmen fellas, and
that Betty Lou OMaster came in
first for the junior-senior girls. l
wasn't able to hear them, but
from all accounts, all the winners
were deserving Of the honor be-
slowed upon them by the judges
for the occasion. I'll never forget
the times I've prayed the stage
would open up and swallow me
when my turn to speak came. And
I'm certain I'll never forget the
pride and JOY that was mine when,
after trying for three years, l
finally won first. So, l know WHAT
victory means to you, and I sho'
am glad it was yours.

Where Will The Money Come From?

Where Will The Money Come From?
Where will all the money come from
to pay these increases? They total sew
eral times as much as the railroads
made in 1916 or will make in 1947.
In July, the railroads filed an appli-
cation for increased freight rates to
close the gap which then existed be-
tween wage and material costs, and
railroad Since then it has
been necessary, because of further in
creases in wages and material costs,
to supplement that petition and to
ask for an additional freight rate

Photo Serves as Address
On P~osfmaster's Letter

DUNCAN, OKLA.-Local post
master Tom Gray is in the same
category with President Truman,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur and
Bing Crosby-postally speaking.
Gray has received a letter
from Millport, Ala, with only his
picture on the envelope for an
address. The photo had been
clipped from a postal employ
ees' magazine.
The letter was from Dewey D.
Prater, Alabama postmaster,
who has used the unique address
ing method to write the Presi-
dent, military leaders and Holly
wood stars.

Railroads Do Not Run For
Employees Alone
Railroads are operated for the benefit
of not one, but several groups-ship-
pers, passengers, employees, stock
holders, and the general public. The
interest of all must be served-and
that cannot be done unless the rail-
roads can operate efficiently and CO.
nomically, and unless they are allowed
to earn sufficient revenue to provide
the kind of transportation service this
country MUST HAVE.
