Big locomotives are built to do a big job
in the big country which is America—a
big job in peacetime as in wartime. They
are built to pull long trains.
Long freight trains can handle more
goods at less cost—to you—than short
trains.
Long trains mean fewer trains—fewer
chances for accidents—fewer interrup-
tions to traffic.
But a few railroad union leaders op-
pose long trains—among their current 44
demands for changes in rules is one limit-
ing the length of freight trains to 57 aver-
age cars. Why do they demand this?
In the quarter century... 1921-1946...
Average length of freight trains has
gone up.....................
For “safety," they say. But is it?
Government figures show definitely
that long trains mean greater safety to
railroad employes and public alike.
Then, if safety is not the real reason—
what is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed—to get more pay! This "made
work” would be sheer waste. Think of big,
modern locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you—the public—would
have to pay. Higher costs mean a lower
standard of living for everybody. No-
body wants that!
Railroad taxes have gone up............
But the average charge by railroads
for hauling a ton of freight one mile
has gone down..................

Wainwright Willing
To Run For Senate,
He Tells Newsmen
Gen. Jonathan Wainwright
last week propped open his
front door and rolled out a wel-
come mat for any movement to
draft him into the 1948 United
States Senate race.
In Chicago, Ill., where he is
attending a hardware conven-
tion, Wainwright told news ser-
vice representatives.
“If the people of Texas desire
me to serve them in the Senate,
I shall be happy to do so.”
O’Daniel Noncommital
From Sen. W. Lee O’Daniel,
who comes up for re-election
next year: “No comment. I nev-
er have had much to say about
who ran against me or for any
public office. That’s anybody’s
right.
Sen. W. Lee O’Daniel won’t be
taking any hillbilly bands a-
long when he starts a hand-
shaking and speaking tour of
the state next Wednesday.
The junior Senator said so
Thursday, just before a state-
wide radio broadcast in which
he claimed credit for most of
the ideas in the Taft-Hartley la-
bor law.
O’Daniel, who is expected to
be a candidate for re-election
next
From Gov. Beauford H. Jes-
ter, sometimes considered a po-
tential candidate, who has ap-
pointed Wainwright a member
of the state Good Neighbor Com
mission: “Gosh! But he was still
a good man to put on the com-
mission.”

FOOTBALL GAME FRIDAY
Mrs. Frank Koy’s
Father Passes Away
In England last week
Mrs. Frank Koy received
word last Wednesday of the
death of her father in Sheffield,
England, after a previous mes-
sage had stated that he was
seriously ill. He had been in
bad health for a year.
Having made an endeavor to
send flowers, without any re-
sults, Mrs. Koy relied on Mrs.
R. 0. O’Connor of the local Red
Cross chapter, who in turn got
in touch with the county ser-
vice officer, Lee Weige, at Bell-
ville. They contacted the Har-
ris County Red Cross, through
which- a wire was sent Wednes-
day night to a florist in Shef-
field, Mrs. Koy’s home in Eng-
land, asking that the order be
filled immediately. On Friday
morning, Mrs. Koy received a
cablegram from her mother ex-
pressing her thanks for the beau-
tiful flowers, all of which
proves that the Red Cross did
a splendid piece of work. Mrs.
Koy believes the flowers ar-
rived in time for her father’s
funeral.
Sending a floral tribute, a-
long with the one sent by Mr.
and Mrs. Koy, were Mrs. Lizzie
Godenzweig, Mr. and Mrs. Clar-
ence Schier, James Hill, Billy
Koy, Hugo Koy and Miss
Blanche Koy.
Such are the duties of the
Red Cross, always ready to serve
when the occasion presents it-
self, willingly aiding those in
need.

Shield Expert Here
H. M. SHEVNAN, widely
known expert of Chicago, will
personally be at the Rice Hotel,
Houston, Sunday and Monday,
only Sept. 28 and 29, from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. .
Mr. Shevnan says: The Zoetic
Shield is a tremendous impro-
vement over all former methods,
effecting immediate results. It
will not only hold the rupture
perfectly no matter the size or
location, but it will increase the
circulation, strengthen the weak
ened parts, and thereby close
the opening in ten days on the
average case, regardless of
heavy lifting, straining or any
position the body may assume.
A- nationally known scientific
method. No under straps or
cumbersome arrangements and
absolutely no medicines or medi-
cal treatments.
Mr. Shevnan will be glad to de-
monstrate without charge.
