. WAR SETS New TEST
FOR
IN A DECISION which calls for loyal acceptance by shippers and travelers as well as by railroaders, the War Production { Board has severely curtailed the use of materials to build rail(way equipment, There will be Ino further authority to build passenger icars, and the building of locomotives and ‘freight cars will be held below the num‘bers which the railroads figured as being required to meet increasing demands
for transportation.
It was a choice between guns and transportation. That choice must have been exceedingly difficult to make. We know there was a fair, urgent and complete presentation of transportation requirements. The decision rested, as it had to, with those responsible for the most effective ‘use of all our nation’s resources in critical materials, manufacturing facilities and labor supply. These

We all realize and agree
that the needs of war come first —in transportation, as in everything else. When it becomes necessary to divert materials from transportation in order to insure an uninterrupted flow of war production, that necessity can be
and will be accepted by all
concerned. Then it becomes our:duty as patriotic citizens to face the situation ahead of us and alter our plans accordingly.
It means that all of us engaged in

WAR INCREASES JOB, SYNOD TOLD
Meet Tasks With Christian Faith, Lutheran Head
Pleads Here.
Delegates to the fourth annual meeting of the South Indiana Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed church today heard Dr. L. W. Goebel, national president of the church, discuss war emergency as related to Christianity. “The Christian of today is hungry for a deepening of the Christian life,” said Dr. Goebel, “but Christ is present in this darkest hour as never before.”
Face New Challenges
Several challenges face the church today, according to Dr. Goebel, and must be met with Christian faith and Christian strength. Among
'|these challenges, he pointed out,
are the raising of war relief money for home and abroad, a responsibility to the boys in the service and the desperate need for more men in the ministry to staff the churches. Dr. Goebel said that so many ministers were being taken into the army as chaplains that there was a shortage to fill the pulpits. The meeting, being held in St. John’s church, will close tomorrow with a business session followed by a luncheon.
