January 30, 1941. THE RAILROADS SERVE Back in 1926, Herbert Hoover said: “Probably the most outstanding single industrial accomplishment since the war has been in the reorganization of our American railroads.” Fourteen eventful years have gone by since then. We have seen the greatest boom in our history turn into the greatest depression. We have seen a world peace which many of us believed would last forever change into a world at war. New figures have come upon the everchanging stage of history; old ones have spoken their lines and disappeared. But one thing has been constant—and that is the progressive spirit of the American raliroads. Few industries have had a more difficult economic row to hoe in the past decade. Few have been more unfairly treated by regulatory law. And, in spite of all the obstacles, few have done so much to better their service to the nation. Once freight congestion coupled with car shortages, was the bane of shippers. Today car shortages are virtually unknown. Record crops are moved swiftly to market, without delay or spoilage. , The speed of freight trains has been greatly increased —in 1939, for the first time, the average distance traveled per freight train per day passed the 400-mile mark. The industry, ever awake to the possibility of suddenly increased demand for its services, has spent gigantic sums to purchase new equipment, and to modernize old. In many cases, it has gone into debt to do this—because it was necessary to the stability and safety of the nation. The industry has cooperated to the limit with the War Department, in making preparations against the possibility of an emergency War Department officials have expressed enthusiastically their entire satisfaction with this work. Many pages would be needed to even briefly list the achievements of the railroads. And every one of those achievements has been in the interest of American individuals, American industry—and, what is in all our minds these days, American security.

And the cause of fire prevention needs all of us as volunteers in a great antifire army. It is an easy matter to learn the principal cause of fire, and how they may be eliminated. And there can be no excuse for any man's failure to do that.--------------O-------------THE MAN WHO LIKES A TREE Verhovayak Lapja Page 1Í NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE Shaped to reduce wind resistance, a windshield for bicycles has been invented to protect riders from rain, dust and dirt thrown back by vehicles as well as wind. In times such as these, fire waste is a national calamity. Every fire, great and small, represents economic loss. It has no mitigating circumstances. Materials are destroyed. Wealth is destroyed. Production is stopped. Energy and time are consumed. Today we are embarking on the greatest military expansion program in our peace-time history. The successful and swift fulfillment of that program means that all our resources, all our energies, must be given to it without stint. We lack essential materials, and in many industries we lack skilled labor. The drain that fire makes upon the nation is certainly inimical to the defense program. Fortunately, fire is not a thing we must take for granted, on the theory that little or nothing can be done about it. Fire is a luxury There are unpreventable fires—but they constitute an extremely small part of the total. The great majority of fires are the consequence of carelessness, ignorance, slothfulness. The human element is to blame. Someone takes a chance, someone doesn’t think, someone is lazy—and fire strikes. If we are lucky, damage is slight. If we are unlucky, a ghastly toll of death and property destruction follows. At this time we should regard fire prevention as a factor of national defense.— a factor that can make the Juvenile Order—Monthly Report DECEMBER, 1940 New members....................................................

HEATH I LIKE a man who likes a tree, And want no better company, For such a man, I always find, Is just the very sort and kind Who’s not content unless it be He, too, dan grow much like a tree. I like a man who likes a tree, No further introduction he Will ever need to win my heart; To me he is the counterpart Of usefulness, and comfort, too, And does the good few others do. I like a man who likes a tree, He’s so much more of a man to me; For when he sees its blessings there, In some way, too, he wants to share Whatever gifts his own may be In helping others, like a tree. For trees, you know, are friends indeed, They satisfy such human need; In summer shade, in winter fire, With flower and fruit meet all desire, And if a friend to man you’d be, You must befriend him like a tree.
