The letter quoted here came from a western newspaper editor and publisher. This man has a conscience that can’t be lulled to sleep by easy self-reassurances. We hope many other prospective travelers will listen to the “still small voice” of their conscience when it asks questions like these: How much business and how much pleasure arc involved in the train trip I plan? Is it really im portant for me to visit those relatives back East this war year? Couldn’t I get just as much rest and relaxation a little closer to home? Today the railroad is hard-pressed to find space for essen tial travelers: People whose trip must be made to keep business and war production going . . . Service men on well-deserved furloughs, possibly the last before combat duty . . . Parents going to visit their son when the latter can't get away from his post. When people travel for pleasure, or other non-essential reasons, they prevent such deserving travelers from getting on the train. Yes, we sincerely mean it when we say: “Don’t take the train unless your trip is really NECESSARY.” ,W Jk S The friendly Scuthern Pacific Advance retervalionr required for S.

The detector does the same work on land as the mine sweeper does at sea. Like buying War Bonds, the sol dier operating the detectors will never know just how much they have aided in the success of their campaign, but he knows his work Is necessary and must be accom plished. If more Americans on the home front will come to realize this, the success of our War Bond cam paigns will be assured. U.S Treasury Department Nee uh now for Automobile Liability Insurance. Mrs, M.
