Holiday Season Coach
Seats To Be Reserved, 1 >
Says Southern Pacific
Southern Pacific announces that
advance reservations for coach as
well; as sleeping car. travel will be
required for the holiday period from
December IS to January 6 In order
that preference may be given to the
thousands of meh of the armed forces
who will be traveling home on fur­
lough and to relatives who will be
visiting the boys at the camps and
bases.
Coach reservations, it was stated,
may be made only at ticket office* at
the time ticket* are purchased, and
not by telephone. '•;
'Tn outlining the new reservation
requirements, f. 8. McGinnis, vice
president in charge of passenger
traffic tbr the railroad, issued an ur­
gent appeal to the general public to
forego all rail travel not vital to tne
war effort during the holiday period.
"Southern Pacific,” he said, “is fac­
ing a critical situation in connection
with holiday travel. The tide of war
traffic is mounting higher and higher,
and we are hard pressed to supply
the equipment to move |L
Please ask the operator at the time of placing the call,
not afterward. It puts twice as much work on a busy, war­
time telephone operator when you phone back AFTER you
have completed the call to find out how much it coat.
