may move forward in a better world - a world at peace

• We owe it to the
men and women who are fight-
ing this war, and to our dead of
other wars, to win this time an
unconditional victory, and a
peace so just and secure that
the youth of coming generations
may enjoy their freedom free,
without having to buy it over
again with their blood.
All Memorial Day tributes and
honors paid to our dead will be
empty and meaningless unless
we fulfill our obligation.

You deserve a cheer, too!
Some mighty fine compliments are being paid the railroads,
these days. Newspapers, magazines, military and government offi-
cials are all commenting on the smooth, efficient job we are doing
in the mass transportation of fighting men and war materiel. That's
swell! We appreciate these pats on the back, and will strive to do
better because of them.
But the civilian patron deserves a cheer, ton, for the splendid
cooperation given us in solving our wartime problems. We are
handling the biggest. .. and most vital . . . traffic load in our history,
and. despite tough operating problems and a shortage of manpower
and equipment, we are carrying the load successfully. One of the
most important factors in this achievement hat been the helpful and
understanding altitude of the civilian traveler and shipper.
In the days to come there may be minor inconveniences, some
unavoidable delays, but there will be no serious shortage of safe,
dependable transportation whenever there is a genuine need for such
service.
