MERRY CHRISTMAS
^ Put Off Your
Holiday Rail Trip
until after January uth
THE 01.0 JUDGE SAYS
Please do not make a trip by rail,
unless it is urgently necessary,
between now and January 12th.
The Santa Fe, in cooperation
with other western railroads and
the Office of Defense Transpor-
tation, makes this direct appeal
to the general traveling public,
for these reasons:
Christmas Furloughs
Between December 12 and
January 12, hundreds of thou-
sands of our men in service will
have holiday leaves.
We all want them to be able
to travel without delay on these
brief and precious furloughs.
In this same period the rail-
roads must transport a million
jpien of the armed forces moving
on duty; handle the heavy sea-
sonal flow of students; and care
for the ever-growing number of
persons who must make trips by
rail on urgent government busi-
ness or private emergency.
Not Enough Cars for All
If, on top of all this, civilian
America “travels as usual1” dur-
ing the Christmas-New Year
holidays, there just will not be
enough passenger coaches and
sleeping cars to go around.
Soy if you possibly cany post-
pone your trip at least until
after January 12—and thus do
your share to ensure seats or
berths for our men in service
on their all-too-brief Christmas-
New Year furloughs. -
