“THK TRUTH W1LI
A Military Necessity??
In spite of united protests of all communities from
Grants Pass to Yreka, the Southern Pacific found it a
“military necessity” to deprive southern Oregon of
the last of its already depleted passenger train service
to and from California. And unless the Interstate Com­
merce Commission demands a return of the trains, it
seems that the Rogue River valley has seen the last of
its passenger service to the south.
If it can be definitely shown that the removal of
these few pieces of antiquated equipment is a military
necessity, the people of southern Oregon will be more
than willing to call the incident closed. However, they
would like to have this fact established by the Inter­
state Commerce Commission rather than the self-satis­
fied officials of the Southern Pacific. Glib as the S. P.
representatives have been, they have failed to put over
the military importance of a couple of dinky locomot­
ives and coaches while four or five big passenger trains
roll along the Klamath route without curtailment.
No doubt the passenger service may have been a
flop financially, but most public service corproations
feel a responsibility of creating good will and providing
service—especially in a section such as this which is a
particularly profitable freight and express producer.
Whenever a competitive truck line threatens a bit
of the S. P. freight business, great is the wailing there­
of, and company officials go rushing here and there
among the citizens crying, “Patronize us, for look what
all we have done for you.” Is it any wonder this sob
story is losing its effectiveness?

Serve In Silence!
The importance of silence is now gaining much-
needed emphasis in this country as an important de­
fense weapon. The president of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company issued a message to the com­
pany’s employees this week saying, “In maintaining
strict secrecy of communications, we have the respon­
sibility of doing our work well and of not talking to
outsiders about what we do, or where we do it. Some­
thing which may seem inconsequential to us may today
be all important to some outsider.”
The president of the Standard Oil Company of
California also has warned that company’s workers to
protect the army and navy by refraining from dis­
cussing their activities.
He pointed out that where the company employees
are in contact with our armed forces, they should keep
all information acquired to themselves. Military au­
thorities also are pleading with the public to refrain
from gossip and the spreading of rumors.
“We have a most serious duty. Serve in silence.
Don’t reveal military information.”
Every citizen can perform a valuable service for
our armed forces as well as for the people at home, by
following this sound advice.

Save Your Papers!
Conserve paper! That request has been made to
all the people by the government. Even before we were
in the war, the government was using one-third of the
nation’s paper box production for arms needs, and now
military demand will rapidly increase. On top of that,
the armed forces have many other important uses for
paper of all kinds. The cheapest forms of paper, such
as newsprint, can be reclaimed and made into boxes
and other articles.
When you do your shopping, get along with a min­
imum of wrapping. A national food concern offers five
good suggestions when it says: 1. Don’t ask for a bag
when an item is already packaged. 2. Don’t ask for
separate bags unless necessary—or any bag at all if
you have only a few items to carry. 3. Take groceries
in cartons when available—then use the cartons as
receptacles in which to save waste paper at home.
5. Remember to save on all kinds of paper.
Don’t think the stores you patronize are being
