Tune In "THE MAIN HNE'WedvS p.m.,KFRC. t Meet Jim Bhke, "retired The tray Jim Blake figures it he's not doing anything teorth writing vp he's no hero. Jim switches cars around ai a big Southern Pacific terminal yard, put ting trains together and tailing 'em apart. But Jim Blake's been railroading more than 30 years, and he knows a lot of ansu-ers. Recently when we've had to train thousands of neic railroaders, Jim's experience has been very valuable to us. We depend a lot on men like him to keep the war trains moving . . Late In '41 Jim Blake was readv to quit work and switch onto his pension. He and his wife had a little farm all paid for. But when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, Jim talked things over with his wife and thrr dreided on a different plan. Tiih a lot of the young mm off to war, Jim Bgured he'd better stick on the job for the duration, nis railroad and his country might be needing him. All this explains why Jim Blake is still a railroader. He's doing his part to help win this war as soon as pot sible. For Victory will bring the young men home again . . . and then Jim Blnke can get together with his farm. To old-timori like Jim Blake the strategic importance of Southern Pacific's 13.000 miles of line is as plain as two plus two makes four. We serve the great arc of West and South. From Chicago, from the Pacific Northwest and the deep South, Southern Pacific routes converge at Test Coast ports, bringing troops and war supplies for the war against Japan. In addition to this heavy westbound traffic, we must move to eastern centers vast quantities of food, raw ma terials and industrial products of the Vest and South. America's wartime transportation needs are challeng. ing the best we railroaders have to give. Our people work today with the same unbeatable spirit that built Southern Pacific's western link of America's first transcontinental railroad. They, along with all other American railroaders, are doing the greatest job In trans portation history and they are doing it in spite of a great shortage of manpower. Southern Pacific and other railtnds urgently need thousands of men and women to fill thousands of inter, esting, good-paying, essential war jobs. ui The friendly Southern Pacific LET'S BUY MORE IT A R BONDS
