URGED TO AVOID ¡MANY SOLDIERS
NIGHT DRIVING IN IN ASTI* COURSE

How s YOUR
conscience today?
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.”

Booby Trap Detector
In the snow, in the sand, on the
beaches, on the roads, in the woods,
everywhere the Axis soldiers hide
“booby traps,” to slow the move-
ment of oncoming fighting men of
the United Nations. 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.
