piece of property that receives ac-
tion in this department, and they
are adhering to the usual high
standards, which are observed by
the members of Randolph Field’s

IREDELL FFA ELECTS
CHAPTER SWEETHEART
In order to raise money to feed
out ten hogs, the Iredell Chapter
of The Future Farmers of America
sponsored an election for a Chap-
ter Sweetheart. There were four
girls nominated, one from each
class in High School. They are
as follows: Senior, Sue Whitley;
Junior, Doris Miller; Sophomore,
Mildred Houston; and Freshman,
Dessie Belle Tolliver.
There were several ways to vote
for the Sweetheart. Some of
them were: an ear of corn, eggs,
maize, bones, scrap iron, old rub-
ber and money. Sue Whitley was
elected with a cast of about 2800
votes.
This may seem to be a peculiar
way to raise money to feed hogs
but it gets results, believe you me.
The only trouble now is we can’t
get protein supplement to fatten
those hogs so some hungry sol-
dier boy may have bacon and a
piece of ham once in a while. I
guess we shall provide some way
to feed them.
This war has caused all of us to
work harder and save and sacrifice
more and more every day. If we
shall be patient at home the boys
on the battle front will slap those
dirty yellow Japs and Germans.
As I was walking one morning for pleas-
ure,
A Yank appi'oaehed me and was singing
this song:
“His helment was thrown back and his
medals a jingling.
Yippie-ti-yi-yo, get along, Little Doughboy,
For you know that Tokio will be your new
home.
—La Moine Fuller, FFA Reporter.

Santa Fe
During 1942, Santa Fe
moved 79 percent more
passenger-miles.. .and
122per cent more freight
ton-miles...than in 1918,
during World War I.
And all this was
done with 26 per cent
fewer locomotives than
we had in 1918.
These figures indi-
cate the greatest vol-
ume of business we
have ever handled.
They also indicate
why you may have ex-
perienced some diffi-
culties and inconven-
iences in traveling or
shipping by train dur-
ing the past year.
<
Qf
4^
%
v
Crowded TraltSS Our passenger traffic
volume was up 102 per cent last year as com-
pared with 1941. Gasoline rationing, in our
territory, will increase that volume even more
this year.
The Santa Fe must handle this additional
load with its present passenger cars, as no more
cars will be built during the war.
IL&tC TfdlltS In these days of unprece-
dented passenger volume it is not always pos-
sible to maintain schedules with on-time reg-
ularity . . . and since military trains have the
right-of-way over everything else, they often
cause our regular passenger trains to be
delayed.
At many stations along the line, mail and ex-
press are heavier than in normal times — and
take longer to load. This is another reason
why trains are delayed.
C«lf Shortage Special troop trains are
becoming almost routine on the Santa Fe. In
just one case, we moved an entire division from
one camp — and it took 5 5 complete trains to
handle the men and equipment.
We must also keep our passenger cars in
constant service to handle the increased traffic
all over the line. For this reason, we cannot
always concentrate extra cars at any one point.
Freight C«irs Due to the submarine men-
ace and the diversion of freighters to other
services, almost all of the intercoastal freight
tonnage formerly handled by ships through
the Panama Canal was hauled by the railroads
in 1942.
This brought about an unusually heavy de-
mand for Santa Fe freight cars .. . increased
considerably the average length of haul. ..
and occasionally caused delays in delivering
empty cars at some loading points. It also in-
dicates Santa Fe has many busy months ahead.
KfiCp ’Esn Rollllt9! Please remember
there’s only one thing we want to do more than
keep trains on time and supply cars as prom-
ised^—andthaCsJceegjtroopsandwarfr^^
on their wartime schedule. And we know that’s
the way you want it!

Don't Fly Your Kite
Near a Power Line
ITE FLYING is great fun but danger lurks when
JEV. kites are flown near power lines. Many a child
has lost his life by using wire for a kite string or
climbing a pole to get a tangled kite. Don’t take any
chances. Play safe by following these suggestions:
Rules for Safe Kite Flying
Do not use wire or metallic kite string.
Do not fly your kite with wet string or in damp
weather.
Do not use metal kite sticks.
Do not climb poles to get tangled kites.
Do not poke sticks at tangled kites or try to pull
them down by their tails.
Fly your kites in open fields away from power lines
and busy highways.
If your kite becomes caught in electric wires, call our
office. We know how to remove it without endanger-
ing anyone or causing a service interruption.
