It’s morning in America. The faint lights of war dimmed towns blink out, while here and there along the streets hurrying footsteps begin to beat a sharp staccato to the overtone of traffic's waking rumble. And a hundred million people sit down to breakfast. Bacon and eggs.,. fruit... cereal... buttered toast ... and coffee. Not all of these in all homes and not all homes with the same quantities. But breakfast for everybody—a good breakfast and a wholesome one. And it sure makes a person feel swell to know that in times like these when we're sending our best toour boys at the front we're Still able to provide for those they left behind. The opposite might be true, though, if it were not for America’s gigantic railway system. For it is only because of the railroads that fruits and vegetables raised in California can be used to nourish New York’s millions; that there arc no severe shortages in one place and wasteful surpluses in another; and that any farmer, anywhere, can market his produce through out the country. Just as an indication of the tremendous size of this transportation job—it takes at

Despite the tremendous load of war materials now moving by rail, there is also more food moving than ever befou. Production goals for 1943 call for 37 % more pork than in 1941, 12% more beef—just to mention two items. Nearly one third of this meat—in fact nearly one third of all food—will go for military and lend lease requirements. But regardless of where it goes, it must be transported.
