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.”

Ont of the inky blackness.
Through utter darkness hurled.
Came Che man-made "liril on Earth,
To a calm and peaccinl world.
The boys were quietly sloping
In foxholes carefully dug.
Sentries heard the parake.-t*.
And the (Uttering lightning bug.
The river on its seaward course.
Gave no sign of warning.
Il could not tell to the sleeping men
The peace would be scattered ’em morning.
The lonely sentry stood hl* watch
And thought of the folk* bars home.
Solemnly vowed if ever he got back.
Never more would he roam.
Into this quiet and peaceful scene.
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.
And ever our constant prayers will be,
God keep you ... guarding Heaven's scenes!

made entirely from non-critical

gunsights for actual service, and
with light beam guns, the air
cadets aim and fire at moving
targets. The training sight, cm-
