Picking up overseas mail "...on the fly" Nothing Is quite no predous to fighting man as a letter from a loved one back home nothing more miserable than "iweating out" mail call for the letter that doesn't come. Picking up mail "on the fly" at small stations, at ahown here, is one way Southern Pacific and other railroads toe to it that your letters are handled quickly. Another example of fast, efficient mall service was Southern Pacific's handling of Christmas mail to the men overseas. All mail to the Paciflo fighting fronts Is first rout ed to Army and Fleet Post Offices in San Francisco. During the last Christmas season, 2,931 carloads of overseas mail rollod Into Oakland and San Fran cisco rail terminals! If the mail bags in these cars were placed end to end they would have formed a oontinuous column from San Francisco to Seattle. To gat this W)NKleflted volume of mail through on ttaeoadtog,tTansporftn& switching, handling and trucking problems were worked out well in ad vance. Many solid trains of mail were run across the country thousands of freight cars were "drafted" for mail service. Everything possible was done to assure your fighting man a letter or pack age from home on Christmas. TVe want you to know that mail for fighting men eomes first with us. It is never put aside for other traffic. You know how letters help the morale of men and women at the front. So, won't you write more letters? Whether it's V-mail or regular mall, write often friendly Southern Pacific Elinor Bush Hanley Will Is Discovered, A will of the late Elinor Bush Hanley who passed away about two weeks ago, was re cently found in the family home.
