For fifty years I've travelled far
Upon the B. & o.,
To you who drive private car,
Here's something you should
know
I sit in comfort and relax,
Or just glance through the
news,
And hear the clicking of the
tracks,
Which makes me want to
SnooZe.
To Washington and back again,
Some forty miles or more,
Through winters snow and sum-
mer's rain,
Has been my daily chore.
The fellowship upon the train
Is truly a reward,
I love to hear the old refrain,
The Trainman's "All Aboard"
And, likewise hear the engine
puff,
Or hear the Diesel roar;
I never seem to get enough,
I'm back next day for more.
This year again you'll find me
there
Awaiting for the train,
AS long as I can raise the fare,
Till life begins to wane."

Freedoms Forum,

The early Roman forum was a
public place or a market place in
a city; the center of judicial or
public business.
Its modern-day counterpart is,
of course, your newspaper, in
whose columns the minds of
many men converse, and where
an equal number of ideas are de-
bated.
Through this means of mass
communication, many id e S
gather followings, becoming
championed ideas, and sometimes
liberties.
While your free press, SYM
bolized here by your newspaper,
has aided in the birth of the
many liberties we call freedom,
it serves also to protect these
liberties by exposing those who
would curb or destroy them.
The Tree press - your news
paper - is certainly freedoms
forum.
But, as we liken this newspaper
to the early Roman forum, we
must go a step beyond and
credit those who have made it
possible for our modern counter.
part to play such an important
role.
The early forums were sup
ported to an extent by the tariffs
or rents paid by the merchants
who displayed their wares there.
Today's merchants aid in the
financial operation of a news
