Malin Enlistees Swell Ranks
Of Oregon State Guard Here
Br SOT. O. J. HORNE
The Interest being shown In
Klamath county for the Oregon
State Guards was brought out
this week when Capt. Van Fleet
made a trip to Malin at the re
quest of the Malin Rifle club.
Some of the club's members
had expressed the desire to
learn more about the state
guards.
This desire originated from a
patriotic as well as an unselfish
idea that they could be doing
something for their country and
community as well as them
selves. Obviously their train
ing would stand them in good
stead.
After Capt. Van Fleet had ex
plained our alms and purposes,
19 club members enlisted. To
say the least, the new enlistees
from Malin will be welcomed.
It is now planned that a platoon
or even a company may be
formed In Malin. For the time
being, however, they will report
to the Klamath armory. In
this way they can familiarize
themselves with the new mili
tary drill under the competent
officers who supervise the drill
ing of Company C each Wednes
day night from 7:30 to 10
o'clock.
With the splendid Initial start
the Malin squad has made, it
is expected they will soon have
an enrollment of 40 or SO men.
There are other county com
munities who will be watching
Malin's progress, we know, for
everyone is interested in local
military protection. Perhaps
Mann s sister community, Mer
rill, could also form a platoon
and together form to make a
company in the southend of the
county. What say, Merrill?
Klamath Looks
Ahead to Victory
Garden Planting
Klamath county still has plen
ty of winter ahead, but one of
the season's pleasures is look
ing ahead to gardening and the
perusal of seed catalogues.
The county agent's office re
ported inquiries and material
are being sought by victory gar
deners who will probably at
tack the problem with ven
geance this year. Last year's
victory garden growing stem
med from a patriotic urge; this
year it will more than likely
be a necessity, It was observed
by potential gardeners.

THAHK
i
The people who live in the cities, towns and villages
along Southern Pacific's lines in the West have just
provided a fine example of war-time cooperation.
S7e think this cooperation deserves recognition and we want to say
"thank you" . . since Southern Pacific was primarily concerned. And
we're quite sure the marry thousands of men in uniform who benefitted
too, would also like to join us in this expression of appreciation.
Early in December we were faced with the problem of providing trans
portation during the holidays for a very large number of men in the -armed
services who were to be given holiday furloughs. Because of the
pressure of war traffic on our equipment . . . cars and locomotives ... we
knew that we could not provide transportation for all these service men
and the normal number of civilian holiday travelers too.
i ' ,
So we arranged a somewhat drastic and extensive program requiring
coach reservations for virtually all trains, and set aside a major portion
of both Pullman and coach space for the service men. Then we ran ad
vertising telling people what our problem was, and why we could not
take care of everyone who would like to travel during the holidays. We
asked people not to "Try the Train".
As a result many people gave up holiday trips they very much wanted to
make. The amount of civilian travel, compared with December, 1941,
was considerably reduced and we took care of the service men in good
shape. There was comparatively little congestion, and all essential travel
was accommodated. , ,
So we know that people generally have cooperated . . . and we give you
all a hearty "thank you."
We hope you will continue to confine your trips, in 1943, to essential
travel.
May we also express our appreciation at this time for your considerate
and understanding attitude towards Southern Pacific and its service
during the last twelve months? Because of the many trains on our tracks
a . . carrying troops, equipment, war freight, vital materials and food ...
and the decreased amount of equipment for passenger use, our pass
enger service has been below peace-time standards. Trams have been
crowded, and trains have been late. Because of the pressure for equip
ment, we have had to use many old cars, and we haven't been able to
dean and refurbish equipment as well as we would like. We cannot
obtain additional dining cars, and the conditions surrounding dining
car operation these days are extremely difficult.
' We have tried to give you the facts about our problems and difficulties,
at the same time trying to do the very best transportation job we could
tinder the circumstances. You in turn have responded in a way that has
been most encouraging to us. You have shown a friendliness under war
time travel conditions that is heart-warming to us railroaders.
' A. T. MERC1ER, President
The Friendly Southern Pacific
