Railroad, from Temple was here last Tuesday, June 1.1 in the interest of Railroad week, which was observed, June 10 to 15. Dr. Gober was a guest at the Lion luncheon and presented the following speech in the interest of the railroads. Lion R. L.

McConnell presented the same speech, in the absence of Dr. Gober, to the Rotarians on Thursday. "The designation of Railroad Week is largely for the purpose of calling the public's attention to the fact that the railroads are still carrying on even in the face of the depression. It is to be hoped that during this week the public at large will learn much which will cause it to appreciate more fully than ever before that the railroad industry as a whole is the largest single industry in the United States. We hope to call your attention to only a few outstanding facts which we believe will convince everyone that when the railroad business began to pick up the greatest boost to business in general will have arrived because each individual in the United States is either directly or indirectly affected by the progress of the railroad industry, or by its hick of progress.

The railroads are the greatest: purchasers of the greatest variety of articles of any other industry in the United States. Therefore, as the railroad business improves proportionately will the business of the entire country improve. I might add in another way that until the railroad business improves, business over the entire country is going to improve but little. "It seems to me one of the most stimulating things for the public to know is with reference to the faster schedule for trains of all types compared with former schedules, even for a shorter period than five years ago. To illustrate: freight trains are running in twenty-nine hours less time from Chicago to Galveston.

Freight trains are now running from Galveston to Amarillo in fifty-four hours less time than they were several years ago. A freight train will also make the trip from Galveston to San Francisco in eighty-four hours less time than several years ago. Many of you present may not be in- U'rusted in knowing how fast a freight train runs but you an- interested in knowing how fast a passenger train runs. I have the figures for that too. A passenger train from Temple to San Angelo makes the distance in approximately three hours time tathn it did several years ago.

"It costs from -U per cent to -10 per tent less to ride a passengci train now than it did a few years ago. You may have the idea there- is no increase in the cost to have these faster schedules but I believe everyone is aware of the fact that it takes more gasoline to run an automobile at a high rate of speed than it does to run it at a low rate of speed. It seems it would be equally as practical to assume the same would apply to trains. It costs an enormous amount of money to equip the track for fast schedules compared to slow schedules, just as it costs an enormous amount of money to improve our highways so we can run our automobiles faster. The Santa Ft- Railroad has spent $2,000,000.00 in the last five or six years on its shop equipment alone for the purpose of increasing the.

speed of its trains. This has nothing to do with the track and does not tnke into account the fact that a few years ago the. rails for thu track weighed about ninety pounds to the yard and now they weigh as much as 1H1 pounds to the yard. It costs more money to buy heavier rails; it costs an enormous amount, of money to equip a railbcd for the purpose of caring for WANTED At the NEWS OFFICE Clean Cotton Rags the increased weight of the rafts. "I do not believe the public at large appreciates the enormous amount of money the railroads have spent, and are still spending, in trying to make traveling not only faster but safer.

For instance, on a very small section of the entire Santa Fe System within the last few years more than one million dollars have been spent for automatic block signals. In other words, this safety measure alone was installed at a cost of practically $4,000.00 permile. These are for the safety of the traveling public, as well as for the safety of handling freight. It is quite a common belief that if an accident occurs between an automobile and train at a railroad crossing the railroad is to blame for the accident, and yet during the last few years on two divisions the Santa Fe railroad has spent approximately $167,000.00 for the purpose of putting in wig-wag, or dummy flagmen, if you please, at the railroad crossing for the one and only purpose of trying to prevent accidents at railroad crossings. I might add that in the face of all this many people disregard these signals and rush to their death or serious injury.

"During the last few years the railroads have been making great strides in an effort to make your traveling more comfortable while you ride their passenger trains. By the end of this year, the Santa Fe will have air-conditioned 362 Pullman and passenger cars purely for the comfort of the traveling public. This new feature of railroad pleasure travel has really just begun, yet it cost you no more to ride in such cars now than before they were air- conditioned. "I have said nothing about the amount of taxes. In 1933 the railroads of the United States paid more to schools than they paid to their stockholders.

Your community received from the railroad last year I am told they have never been delinquent. Such taxes help maintain your schools and I am very familiar with more than one community whose school terms in the past would have been greatly shortened had it not been for the taxes which were paid by the railroads which passed through such community or county. As for that matter, the improved highways of this state would not have reached the perfection they now enjoy had it not been for the taxes of the railroads in this state. The railroads pay for their own right-of-way, but the taxes pay for the building of the highways and by taxes they are maintained. I have never thought it was fair for the railroads to help build highways on which their competitors could transport both freight and passengers.

The practice of treating automobiles, ships and railroads as separate transporation agencies is wasteful and uneconomical. Not one of these agencies could do without the other today. The railroads do not want to eliminate the trucks, the busses or the airplanes, but they do want them to be regulated in somewhat the same fashion as the railroads are regulated. The public and business alike demand fast, regular and economical transportation. Whether or not this demand is met by motor, cars, plane, ship or railroads is of secondary concern but it is of primary concern that the service be- the best obtainable.

The railroads are today seeking, by every means at their command, to improve their service in every way possible, as I have already given you figures to prove, yet, they realize that some particular kinds of service heretofore rendered exclusively by railroads can now be rendered better on the highways. They setk to meet a demand for a kind of transportation service which only cooperates between railway, waterway and airway can fill, is the business of all transporta- ion agencies to move people and £cods. They have this service to and therefore to make transportation more salable, more efficient and more economical it should be completely and thoroughly systematized. They day is not far distant when all forms will function as a unit, though still maintaining their individuality. Therefore, the earlier the public demands a coordination of all forms of transportation the earlier will transportation problems be more satisfactorily solved.

Therefore, Railroad Week has been proclaimed to honor the railroads for their improvement in freight handling as well as in the movement of passengei-s. May I say for the railroads that serve this community that the improvements that have already been accomplished are only the beginning of a new era in which railroads will form the backbone of a transportation system the like oi which the world has never seen." R. V. I-'LEMING TKE SAME COUNTRY Fy ROBERT V. FLEMING Vice President, American Bankers Association Thero a growing appreciation, both on the part of the people and the Gov- nf the earnest and sincere nfforto being made bankers to aid recovery.

It is- Icsirable that we niss no opportu lity to foster pub understanding if the bankers iroblcms. We arc in an ago 'C complex and ipset economic conditions. Our af I'uirs are closely inter related not only within the confines of our own borders but extend to other countries throughout the world. The Greatest Difficulty I think the greatest difficulty we have to overcome in America today is due to our impatience with the progress we are making towards recovery. We must realize that while the Government can help by directing some measures for relief and recovery, we must help ourselves by doing our share to give impetus to the Government's, efforts.

Wo have the same country and basically the same businesses, factories and people we had prior to the depression, and business initiative must step forward it real recovery is to be achieved. The theory we often hear expressed that banks create business activity Is wrong. Banking can only make a supplementary contribution to business activity. Bankers have the facilities and the desire to extend credit, but business must initiate activity by seeking the credit which is readily available to all worthy borrowers. Let it be said for business, however, that business men are as eager as bankers to contribute towards recovery.

I think some of the trouble lies in the fact that too many legislative measures have been proposed for reform which leave an uncertainty in the minds of business leaders as to their eventual outcome and effect Consequently, they hesitate to expand until the probable effects of such legislation are known. The Gilmore CalendarWould Have Full Five-Day Festival Week MAKING IT HARDER FOR BANK ROBBERS Mechanical Devices That Impede the Work of Bandits Described by Bankers Association Official. No more Saturday's, a 60-week year with a festival week of five the plan of a new calendar proposed by Alexander J. Gilmore of Detroit. Gilmore says that the shorter work week of the new deal calls for a new calendar.

The plan of his proposed Novo Universal calendar is as follows: Each year to consist of 12 months. Each month to contain five full weeks. Each week to be made up of six days beginning with Sunday and excluding Saturday. This distribution accounts for 360 of the 365 days in the ordinary year. What happen to the remaining five? Christmas Always on Sunday Gilmore proposes that the five days left set aside as a national festival week.

On leap years, festival week would contain six days. He proposes that Christmas be observed on Sunday of festival that the whole week be given over to celebrations of a religious nature, of thanksgiving and patriotic observance. During that week he suggests that no one work and that the period be used for family visits and get-to- gethers. Some of the advantages he sees in his proposed calendar are: The first day of every week, every month and every year would fall on Sunday. Any date of the year always would fall on the saifie week day.

Religious Significance Considered Doing away with Saturday might make it possible for both Gentile and Jew to worship on the same day. Having exactly 30 days to each month would make it easier to reckon no interest would be reckoned or paid for festival week. The entire" year would be. evenly proportioned. "A year of 13 months has been proposed," Gilmore says," and I understand some concerns are now using a 13-month year.

The 13-month year cannot be divided into halves and and quarters easily and it seems to me the 12-month year, being easily divided, should be kept." Gilmore, now retired, but for many years associated with business affairs, points out that most concerns make reports or statements quarterly or semi-annually. The same is true of various governmental departments and agencies and of practically any organization. Each year, under the Gilmore plan would have 60 weeks, plus the festival in Cleveland News.

The impediments which the hard working bank robber now meets in plying his trade among small as well as large banks are described by James E. Baum, Deputy Manager American Bankers Association in charge of its Protective Department, In an article in "Banking" published by his organization. "Protective equipment will minimize If not prevent loss," Mr. Baum says, "such as the silent automatic type of alarm, approved tear gas systems, several styles of bandit resisting enclosures and timelocks, or safes equipped with timelocks, which can be set for intervals of a few minutes. "The silent automatic alarms operate in the beginning of a holdup and through actions carried out by the bank employees in obedience to the bandits' own commands.

They are adaptable to the smaller banks which continue to be easiest targets for bank robbery. Tear Gas Systems "Tear gas systems have their advantages as self-contained protective units where outside aid is Inconvenient or too remote from the bank to be effective. One objection to the use of tear gas in preventing holdup Is the need of pressing a lever or button to discharge It. Although this necessary action seems too much to expect of the victims in a crisis where their lives are in jeopardy, the fact remains that tear gas systems have defeated bank robbery. Its de terrent value is also Important.

"Different styles of bandit resisting enclosures are available. The lock manufacturers also produce timelocks which can bo set to open at intervals of flve minutes or longer. These locks are especially adapted for attachment to small safes or chests for safeguarding surplus funds while the bank is open for business." Another big rain, in fact it has been raining for two weeks at Locker. The one Friday night flooded fields, branches, creeks, bursting tanks and terraces, drowning chickens and turkeys, washing gardens, yards and fences down, watermelons away, the wind blowing corn flat, almost ruining oats, as they were ready to harvest. As shadows of the passing day slowly gathered over the mountain Thursday, the beautiful life of uncle Ebb Shaw passed away, and a soul that was so dear, drifted with the tide into that celestial city of God.

Also, Mr. Joe Bolinger passed away last Monday morning in a hospital in Brownwood, casting away the shadows of toil and care with a loving touch and a sunny smile.
