SCIENTIST SB Appeals to Public To Cut Holiday Trips Anticipating he a v y demands from furloughed service men and women for train accommodations during the coming holiday period. Southern Pacific is appealing to civilians to limit themselves to most urgent trips during the pe riod December 17 through Jan uary 10. "We expect that more than 80 per cent of our train space will be requested by service personnel and essential business travelers." said F S. McGinnis, vice president in charg- of passenger traffic "Also there will be heavy de mands for tickets to training camps by relatives of men who are unable to obtain furloughs We are counting upon the public to refrain from unnecessary travel so that service men and women may enjoy Christmas trips or visits from members of their families.' Action by Southern Pacific last summer, requiring advance reser vation of seats for coach trips, has almost entirely eliminated the overcrowding of its trains, accord ing to McGinnis. “These coach reservations." he explained, "are not made by telephone, but at the time tickets are purchased.” -------------o------------ Pioneer Ave., South Sunday morning service at 11 U.

Crept death under cover of night To rudely waken those s'eeping men And challenge them all to fl.Tht. Somewhere rhead a shot rang out. Then the flash of a bunting rheil, FoUowed by a resounding crash. And the moans of those who fell. The Japs attacked with fearsome force; The air was rent with screams; The Nips were taught another lesson By the Devil Dog Marines. All through the night the battle raged; The dawn broke bright and clear To show brave men who fought and died. To preserve the things held dear. The sun cast its sparkling ray* Upon the blood-etched scene below. The gallant Marines stlU held their ground. Beating back the desperate foe. The battered remains of the yellow men— Realizing their certain defeat— Wildly fired a few more rounds Then beat a hasty retreat Out of the inky blackness. Through utter darkness hurled. Came the man-made "Hell on Earth, To a calm and peaceful world. Our buddies now rest In a lasting peace. Their job on earth well done. They did their very level best To sink the “Rising Sun.” Well all remember—as time goes on— How you fought like true Marines.
