MEMORIAL APPEAL WASHINGTON ( - President Trumun's Memorial Duy statement asked the nation lor a universal prayer for a pemanent peace he laid Is nearer reality now than on last year's day ol remembrance People DO TOO read small space ads - you are! rough In the forests, have called the amokelwnpers the glamor bovs of the fire fighting business because they travel to work in style. But they are a rugged lot. They have to be rugged to get through the four-week training period re quired to get them ready for work. They get long sessions of cales thent.es and obstacle courses aimed at limbering and toughening mus cles and developing legs. One feature Is the stockade, called a back-buster. The trainees legs are tied below the knees to vertical stakes while he does ruise-ups from a prone position. Trainees leap dally from a tower while laden with fire fighting coulp ment. simulating a parachute drop. Dangling from high boom, the trainees learn bow to steer open parachutea and bow lo get loose when one snags a tree and threa tens to hang Its wearer. Thiy make several actual para hlkes. and do some project work and fire fighting. The safety angle Is stressed in all lectures. This has paid oil be cause In the 11 years that smoke Jumptrs have been used not a man has been killed while Jumping. Twelve amokejumners died In Mann Gulch near Helena. Mont., several years ago. but their deaths are not blamed on the Jumping ooeratlon. Flames trapped them while thev were fighting the lire several hours after they had hit the ground. Since the crew foreman survived by burning an area and lying In It while the main fire roared around him, the use of escape lires lor sofety has become a training must. Thi re arc other safety measures.

J The Golden Empire served by Southern Pacific continues to be the fastest-growing area in the United Slates. lYr.ffic on our 13.700 miles of linei In 8 slates has always shown how lha West grows. Here are some of the latest signs: I INDUSTRY 4,878 new industries havo located along Southern Pacific lines since the end of World War II (see map below). Kor the past 25 years an average of one new induilry per day requiring spur frac aril iliet hat located along S. P. Iine$. Since World War II that average has been more than two per day. AGRICULTURE The volume of all products of agriculture moved by Southern Pacific annually rose from 8,262,044 tons in 1940 to 13,550,31 1 tons in 1950 an increase of nearly 64. America's largest dams are in the Western empire, and coupled with the nation's most energetic pri vate power companies, they have brought vast power for industry and have accelerated Uie opening of new land. PEOPLE Southern Pacific carried 9,220,054 passengers in 1940 and 12,455,483 in 1951 an increase of nearly 35. The population of our 8 "S. P Slates" (see map) was 18,467,411 in 1940 and 24,781.993 in 1950. This 34 increase eras Vi times the national average, while California alone accounted for one sixth of the nation's population increase. S. P's advertising of the West induced many of these millions to settle here. Our crack passenger streamliners actually brought many of them to I heir now homes. TOTAL MOVEMENT We moved 40 billion ton-miles of freight during 1951 -nearly as much as during 1944, tho peak year of World War II. Parenthetically, we're proud that our rapidly diesolizing system set its all-time efficiency record in hauling freight in 1951. WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Peace or war. we think the economy of the eight key "Southern Pacific Slates" is pretty solidly based upon rich, diversified natural resources, upon expanding and diversified agri cultural prodnction, and upon continually more diversified industries. We of Southern Pacific are quite confident that tho course of empire will continue its westward trend. We are proud lo be foremost in serving that trend. Southern Pacific it pub lishing this advertisement in Ttmi, Nkwswkkk and all editions of the Wall Strket Journal to focus the atten tion of industrial and finan cial leaden throughout the country on the growth and importance of the West and Southwest. .
