Victory lood production, the
a'.l-out plan for htge Increases
of foods vital to winning the
war, will be led off In Jackson
county by the 3UU larm iam
iliet already cooperating in the
rural rehabilitation program of
the Farm Security Administra
tion announced Eugene Hamp
ton, county supervisor.
"Our first and biggest Job is
to increase the necessary food
and feed to win this war and
write the peace," said Hampton.
"Individual victory food goals
are being set up by FSA fam
ilies at group meetings during
the next two weeks. Supple
mental loans for production
goods, repair of buildings and
livestock shelters, feed, seed
and cooperative facilities will
be available if needed."
Hampton emphasized that not
only production of essential war
foods for market, but food for
home use is being stressed.
Increased production for home
use can be as valuable to the
war effort by cutting domestic
market demands, as a step-up
in commercial production.
Women To Aid
"Efficient production through
Using the best dairy, hog, poul
try, feed, crop, and garden prac
tices will be another Important
step in producing food for vic
tory," Hampton said. "Farm
women will make their contri
bution through expanding pro
grams for canning and storing
fruits and vegetables, curing of
meats for family use and in
tensification of the live-at-home
program.

To Be Fast, Safe,

Seattle, Feb. J. W Gil
bert Rohde, 47, New York
City automobile and furni
ture designer, told interview
ers here today that he be
lieves the post-war automo
bile generally will be faster,
safer, simpler with fenders
absorbed Into the body lines
and the front end rounded so
the car will shear away to
one side instead of crumpling
in a head-on collision.
And, paradoxically, there
will be a new "family car"
when automobile production
Is resumed big, roomy, com
paratively slow, without axles
and somewhat resembling
box on wheels.

The Victory Trains
are rolling!
Tou are doing everything you can to help in the war effort.
You may be interested to know what we are doing. Southern
Pacific i engaged in an all-out effort to do a 100 per cent job
in moving troop, equipment and supplies, and defense ma
terials. We are helping to "Keep 'Em Flying" by "Keeping 'Em
Rolling."
Among the railroads who share this basic task of national
defense, none is more strategically situated than Southern
Pacific, so we have an extraordinary responsibility.
The tremendous volume of defense traffic we are carrying
is impressive evidence that things are popping that Uncle
Sam has his sleeves rolled up and is "going to town." It it
inspiring to us who are keeping the trains moving. We know
it will be encouraging to you.
Defense leaders tell us that our performance in handling
defense traffic has been extra good.
But in the handling of this traffic, inconvenience has been
caused our regular patrons. At various points on our System
we have had to curtail some regular passenger train service
much of it productive, profitable service in order to clear
the tracks or conserve equipment and manpower for defense
train "victory trains" we prefer to call them. And there
have been some delays to our regular service, both passenger
and freight, which our patrons have cheerfully and patriotic
ally accepted. We appreciate their understanding.
For the reasons stated above we discontinued Trains 7 and
8 between Dunsmuir and Grants Pas. We regret this waa
necessary. Bus service, coordinated with our trains at Duns
muir has been substituted. This arrangement saves some time
and we will exert every effort to make this service comfort
able and dependable.
We're working hard to give our regular patrons good serv
ice, despite the pressure of defense traffic. We want you to
know that Southern Pacific people, both in your community
and elsewhere, want to be just as helpful as possible in meet
ing your transportation needs.
We want to serve you pleasantly and well.
