The Pocahontas coal from Virginia is also beIng utilized. Master Mechanic M. J.

McGraw issued some additional instructions to engine crews regarding this eastern coal. He cautioned them against shaking the grates or wetting the coal. The ash pan must be kept clean to secure the best results. The pan must also be kept free from fire to avoid burning the grates. The hoe or hook must be used when the fire is not burning freely.

Mr. McGraw asks the engineers as well ag the firemen to watch the fire closely and give it the proper attention in order to avoid failures. The stored coal burns freely, but there is not much heat and it is difficult to keep up steam. The officials are doing the best they can to overcome the unusual conditions and ask the enginemen to be patient and considerate as possible while the famine exists. All are hopeful that the settlement will be reached soon.

Yet we should not pine as death is no respecter of person, but rather let us say, "God's will be None of us should be so forlorn but what a look backward, I am sure, will disclose some and perhaps many, many favors and blessings. We as a body of railroad employes should be grateful for the wonderful progress made in accident prevention during this last year, and above all, should be thankful that we are loyal citizens, privileged to Americans great day of Thanksgiving."
