VISIBLE
No signs of the total eclipse of
the sun which occurred shortly
after 5 a.m. today were visible
in Medford, but passengers and
rrew members on United Air
lines flights between Medford
and Portland were able to see
the sight quite plainly.
Local weather bureau officials
stated today that only a shadow
cast over the sun could be visible
this far southwest, but overhang
ing smoke apparently hid even
that.
Max Henney, local station
manager for United Airlines,
said today that the eclipse was
visible to passengers and crew
members cruising at 11,000 feet
at 5:30 a.m., when the sun came

If you could grant wishes like
Cinderella's fairy godmother
so someone recently said here
are requests you'd get from the
armed forces. No. 1: "Please,
I'd like to go fishing." No. 2:
"Please let me go hunting."
No. 3: "Be real swell and fix
it up for me to spend three
months in the mountains."
That's easy to believe. Few
things are so different as life
in a fox-hole and life along a
trout stream. It's a world of
oo enemies when you're out
among the shreds of dawn, with
molten ice tugging your ankles
and a ten-inch rainbow at the
end of your line.
One reason good hunting
and fishing indeed, a whole
good outdoors awaits every re
turning western warrior can be
found in the many rod and gun
clubs. For men who love air
swept clean by trcetops and
laundered in glacier water, these
clubs have been guardians of
the future.
: They've fulfilled a volunteer
stewardship with constant ef
forts to improve every stamping-ground
of the sportsman.
Their interest has helped break
new trails everywhere into the
outdoors and to widen old
ones. Progressive fish and game
commissions have found them
aiding every advanced program.
Whether man or woman,
every westerner has something
of the woodsman's heritage.
Whether it's skiing or shooting
or just loafing under the clear
stars, every westerner loves
some form of outdoor life. Foi
everyone of them, the rod and
gun clubs have guarded thi
land where mornings are bore
and the heart sings.

PULLMAN SERVICE
AFFECTS . . .
But It Means More Sleeping
Cars for Veterans
Operation of overnight sleeping cart between Southern Oregon and
Portland will be discontinued Sunday, July 15th, by order of the United States
Office of Defense Transportation.
The new regulations eliminate all Pullman sleeping cars operating for a
distance of 450 miles or loss.
The reason for this Order is that additional sleeping cars MUST ba
obtained to provide accommodations for the returning veterans from Europe,
who are reaching Atlantic ports in large numbers. These veterans are coming
home for discharge, or for furlough, before going on to fight again in the
Pacific. They deserve the most comfortable transportation service we can
give them.
No new sleeping cars have been built since Pearl Harbor. ' Over one-half
of the sleeping cars have been in exclusive use by the Military, but they are
not enough for this new task. The O.D.T. Order resulted.
While discontinuance of short-distance sleeping car operations will cause
Inconvenience to many people, we feci sure that the citizens of Southern
Oregon wilt approve this effort to better serve the men from overseas to whom
we owe so much. We KNOW the families of these Southern Oregon boys
who are coming home, will have no question as to the merit of this new
regulation.
As far as the Southern Pacific is concerned, our guiding principle has
been "The Military Comes First!" and we are cooperating 100 in carrying
out the provisions of the above O.D.T. Order. With nearly 20,000 Southern
Pacific men and women in the armed forces, we, too, have a real and personal
interest In the welfare and comfort of service men and womn.
So you may know how this order applies to Southern Pacific service gener
ally, we show below Southern Pacific sleeping car service on our lines which
will be discontinued after the last trip July 14th. Coach service will still
be available between these points.
