TODAY'S TRAINS BRING A TASK FOR JOHNNY doesn’t know it yet...his head is filled with sports and studies and a fox terrier called "Spot*'. But, there's a corner in his mind that wonders where a loaded freight train started, and where it ' goes—and whyj : Men and machines have worked in the four corners of the nation to load those trains—with food and fabrics, coal and ore—and weapons. They're going to feed and free the world for youngsters like Johnny. They couldn’t get along without the railroads. Tomorrow, railroads like the Baltimore & Ohio will be in an even better position to serve Americans like Johnny. For now, at war, we’re learning and planning for the future. New methods of operation are being developed to assure faster, more convenient service. Improved facilities will provide new comforts in passenger travel. When Johnny calls, the Bjc O will be ready and willing to serve him well. - - t iiwmf ° BAmMORE ft OHIO RAILROAD ThtVUtkm, k IMA w tmmt m tb* KsOroadt ★

RATION BOARD TAKES ACTION AGAINST TWO LOCAL LAW VIOLATORS - The ration board is taking nothing for granted these days and whenever a motorist is found guilty of any charge ration coupons are confiscated. Two Nappanee motorists, Paul Sechrist and Glen Michael were unfortunate enough to fall in this class, Sechrist having his rations for a 30 day period taken from him and Glen Michael getting off with a2l day suspension. Sechrist goes to Indianapolis today to report for training in the navy and in his case the loss of the coupons will not be so severe but to Michael 21 days is a long time to walk, unless he is fortunate enough to have some good friends to accomodate him with rides when and where he wants to go.

SOCIAL SECURITY SNOWBALL

. V wr \| M R * 3■; _l I I SIF H-i ii MW

Each and everyone of us perks up his ears when the future of social security is mentioned. So glance at the above chart and see the past, present and future of social security costs visualized in the form of a snowball gathering momentum (or more snow) as it heads for 1970. In terms of present day war spending the $3% billion for social security in 1940-41 may not seem like much money, and even the S2O billion estimated for 1970 has to be compared to incomes to understand its impact. No one can say exactly what our post-war national income may be, but if it averages as much as $125 billion annually, that would mean $1 out of every $5, earned by each and every wage earner, would go to Washington to meet social security costs alone.
