Pacific maintain its tracks in this
vicinity .was emphasized again to
day by C. A. Larson, local agent
for the company.
'Southern Pacific, is short sev
eral thousand section men for its
full-time crews in the Pacific
coast area," he said, a Jid Is ap
pealing to business and professional-
men, students and others,
who have time to spare on week
ends, to help relieve the short-
The proper maintenance .of rail
road tracks, he pointed out, : is
necessary for the -speedy handling
of the ever-growing war traffic,
For this reason, persons who are
able to devote time to track work
will be contributing directly to
the country's war effort.
Since the campaign to enlist
the services of spare-time work
ers on section crews-was laun
ched by Southern Pacific several
months ago, he said, much valu
able assistance has -bees received,
but the company -has. immediate
treed for many- more trackmen. :
Weekend and holiday employ
ment on the railroad offers local
men not only an opportunity to
engage in vital war work but also
to earn extra money. Full infor

Behind the most of this legis

that followed demobilization of

Lawmakers conscious not only of
the need for protecting the veter

potential future force in political
affairs already are sauabbung ov

jurisdiction, and the dispute may
be settled only through ; creation
of a special committee.
Meanwhile, several : proposals
have been advanced for tne even

services to peacetime pursuits.
Many are based on the thesis that
there must be gradual demobiliza
