Rider Decline
Cited by BIO

The number Of riders on one
Of its trains between Baltimore
and New York has declined to
the point where two buses
could carry them. the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad re-
ported yesterday.
The railroad. in its plea for
permission to discontinue its
72-year passenger service be-
tween Baltimore and New York.
told the Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission: The average
number Of passengers on each
train at any one time Is only
II persons. This is a decline in
patronage Of 80 per cent since

The l3l-year-old line. oldest

In addition to Maryland, II

Spends S2.25 for Each 81
The B&O now runs six
trains In each direction be-
tween Baltimore and New York
and one each way between
Washington and Philadelphia.
The railroad spends S2.25 for
each 81 paid by passengers. J.
w. Phipps IT.. vice president in
charge Of traffic. informed the
Maryland commission.
The total loss is IS million a
year.
One Of the biggest causes.
Mr.. Phipps said. is inability of
the BIO TO run the trains
directly into New York City.
They stop at Jersey City. N. j..
and passengers are taken by
bus on a ferry across the
Hudson River to Manhattan
and Brooklyn.
The bus operation costs $3.50
for each passenger.
The economic unsoundness
of continuing such an opera
ton Is clearly SEEM" Mr.. Phipps
said. when you consider. for
example. that the Crailroadl
coach fare from Baltimore to
New York Is $6.e7."
In addition to the incon-
venience OF transferring TO
buses. Mr.. Phipps said the BIO
faces a time handicap in COM
petition with the Pennsylvania
Railroad and through buses
serving New York.
The fastest B6O can take a
passenger between midtown
New York and Washington is
IA hours. The Pennsy makes
It in 3 hours. IS minutes and
a bus in four hours. 20 minutes.
Blames Road Subsidies
In the final analysis, Mr..
Phipps said. It was Govern
men. subsidization Of highways
and airports which have made
II impracticable for the B&O
TO continue to compete In the
Washington-New York area"
As an example OF the effect
OF new expressways. tunnels
and bridges built with public
funds. he said that In 1885 it
took a bus Q or 10 hours 10 90
between Washington and New
York.
While the proposed discon-
tinuance OF all passenger trains
north Of Baltimore is the most
drastic Of its history. the BIO
has been steadily withdrawing
from the competition. Mr..
Phipps reported that In the
last nine years II has discon-
tinued 1903 trains TO save 50
million q year.
Lined UP TO oppose discon-
tlnuance OF the service were
various unions OF railroad en-
ployes. the City Of Baltimore
and Hartford County, north OF
Baltimore.

Railroads Call
For Equal Laws
~ IN. Associated Press

The President Of the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad said TO-
day congressional action Is
needed to help eliminate what
he called unequal treatment Of
railroads ''in the competitive
race for trafic."
Howard Z. Simpson added
that he considered such treat
ment the basic cause OF what
railroad spokesman say Is an
economic squeeze on the Ma
tons rail industry.
Mr.. Simpson was one OF six
railroad presidents who sub
mitted prepared testimony in
the fourth day Of hearings by
a Senate Commerce subcom-
mittee which is investigating
the condition Of United States
railroads.
The witnesses generally have
asked for legislation to elm
mate Federal taxes on freight
and passenger tickets and to
amend provisions governing
regulation.
Cites 3 Practices
Mr.. Simpson said:
Our subsidized competitors
are always free to exploit their
competitive advantages while
the railroads are not always
free TO exploit theirs"
He listed three practices
which he said resulted in the
railroads working under in
equalities:
1. Substitution Of railroads
comp ti'ors.
2. Restriction Of the rail-
rosds' right TO diversity"
3. Limitation on freedom Of
railroads TO exploit what he
said were inherent advantages.
Other witnesses scheduled
TODAY included Glen p. Brock
Of Mobile. president OF the
Gulf. Mobile a. Ohio: d. j.
Russell OF San Francisco. presi-
dent Of the Southern Pacific:
Harry c. Murphy Of Chicago.
president Of the Burlington
Lines: d. B. jerks Of Chicago,
president Of the Chicago Rock
Island a. Pacific, and q. B.
Avdelott Of Denver. president
Of the Denver a. Rio Grande
Western.
Economies Erected
Mr.. Brock said the lower net
income Of railroads shows that
despite considerable outlays for
capital improvement, the in
dustry has practically ex.
hausted means Of effecting the
economies necessary to meet
rising costs.
Mr.. Russell said Congress
should eliminate "shackles by
law" which prevent carriers
from diversifying services.
Mr. Murphy said Federal sub
sides 10 other forms Of trans
portation handicap the rail-
roads. He said II all subsidies
could be abolished. THE in
herent cost advantages Of rail-
road service would attract
more and more trafiic and
this. in turn, would lead to |
lower and lower units costs. TO

It's confusing, that's what it is.
It's hard to decide whether to sing
cover the Hill to Grandmother's
House on Thanksgiving Day We
Go" or deck the Halls with
Boughs of Holly" whether to tack
up the mistletoe or sheaves of
wheat. Time was, when Thanks
giving came before Christmas. and,
according to the calendar, it still
does, but that is the only assurance
we have. While the Thanksgiving
turkey is still strutting in the barn
yard, up go the Christmas decora-
tions.
Time was, too, when turkey was
a treat reserved for the two great
holidays of the year. Now that no
BILE bird graces the table almost
as often as chicken and even school
serve it often, it
doesn't seem so noble any more.
There is little resemblance, of
course, between a frozen t.v. tur-
key dinner and the feast surround
ing a beautifully Drowned bird
straight from the oven, but there
is no denying that familiarity does
tend to breed contempt.
1t is hard to understand this mad
rush through life, and it is almost
impossible to avoid getting caught
up in it. We seem to be unable to
enjoy one thing for planning ahead
for another. No longer is the rush
and hustle confined to cities; in
this little town, it is already diff
cult to schedule an activity for the
many conflicting ones. 1t is sad
that Thanksgiving Day now finds
many people merely breathing
prayer of thanks that Christmas
comes but once a year. It is good,
though, that we are still officially
reminded once a year to count cur
blessings.
There is an old expression, part
ly cynical perhaps, that goes
"Thank the Lordfor small favirs."
That is exactly what we should do
on this day. 1t is the small things
that make life worthwhile. The
youth scoffs at that idea, for he is
convinced that the answer to the
questions of life are hidden under
the hood of Cadillac or in a bank
vault. 1t takes years to bring the
wisdom to be just as grateful for
the things we don't have, or for
the things that don't happen, as for
the things that do. Robert Burns
summed it up Well in this rhyme:
"Some hae meat and Gamma eat
And some wad eat that want it;
But we haze meat, and we can eat,
Sac let the. Lord be thankit."

DICK JORDAN SPEAKER
AT ROTARY TELLS CLUB

An interesting travelogue by
Dick Jordan, who with Mrs. Jor-
dan recently returned from a va
walton trip that covered approxi-
mately 1000 miles in nine south
eastern states was the main fea-
ture of Rotary at the meeting
here on Monday night.
Leaving their Mays Head home
the Jordans went first to Rich
mond and then doubled back into
North Carolina stopping at Dur
ham and then into Tennessee and
Mississippi via the Natchez Trace,
National Park Service project.
They visited Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Marshall there. Mr.. Marshall was
formerly land acquisition officer
here for NPS. Continuing south
ward they visited historic New
Orleans where they were much
impressed with the great bridge
across Lake Ponchartrain, the
French Quarter. the unusual GEM
eteries and the geological gardens.
"At the zoo there the people
pass through Gagged areas and
look at monkeys and other ami
mails in a natural setting," he
said.
From New Orleans their trip
took them along the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico southwark along
the west coast of Florida, via the
Tamiami Trail across state to Mi
ami, after starting but turning
back from a projected visit to the
isolated Keys. They returned home
via the Ocean Highway stopping
at st. Augustine and other sites of
interest.
A special guest of the Rotary
meeting was the Rev. Louis Ait
ken, who was recognized for his
leadership in a recent drive to
raise funds for the proposed Meth
odist colleges the Church will
build. Locally the Methodists had
not only raised their $4,000 quo
ia in pledges but also an addi-
tional $1,000.

PRESERVES HAVE PROVIDED
MORE GAME; BETTER SPORT

This season of the year is eager
ly welcomed by some Is million
Americans who regard hunting as
the ultimate in sport and relaxa-
ton.
Hunting conditions for these Is
million enthusiasts are changing
rapidly. 1t is obvious that with
such large number of hunters
active, the supply of wild game
will dwindle, even though seasons
are more and more restrictive. One
answer to this has been the intro
duction of S. o o ting preserves
throughout the country.
Commercial shooting preserves
are stocked with plump, meaty
game birds grown especially for
releasing on controlled shooting
areas. Seasons on these preserves
are open for as long as six months
per year.
When hunting preserves were
first introduced in this country,
some hunters were doubtful that
domestically grown birds could
offer as much sport as birds grown
in the wild. They thought birds
released for shooting might be
sluggish and slow on the wing.
However, this has not been the
case. Much has been learned about
growing game birds for hunting.
They are fed in a special manner,
and when released are vigorous and
swift of wing.
This season it is estimated there
are more than 1000 hunting pre-
serves in the United States, locat-
ed in all but ten or so states. The
chances are good that there is one
within convenient driving distance
of nearly every American hunter.
So much interest has been shown
in controlled shooting areas that
the Ralston Purina Company has
complied a Directory of Shooting
Preserves in the United States for
the convenience of game bird hunt
ers. The Directory lists names and
addresses of shooting preserves
and hunting season information. A
copy of the Directory may be OBJ
