CLUB RECORDS (Contirrued from Page 14)

cars and helpect patrons make con- nections a t a nearby town, when flood conditions prevented normal service. There a re instances where elderly persons, traveling alone, have been accorded unusual courtesies, which has won them aver to rail servlce.

The Neodesha Employes' Club a t Neodesba. Kans.. found a Iarge fam- ily bumming their way to Springfleld, Mo., in a box car, having left their home following the severe dust storms. Members of the club took up a coIlection, fed and housed the family for the night and sent them by rail to Springfield, Mo., their des- tination. When future travel is sug- gested by any member of this family. there is no question but that it will be by rail.

The president of the Newburg. Mo., Club advises that there is not a com- mercial truck operating in Newburg. The employes hold regular meetings and there is a great deal of enthusiasm in the solicltation program.

The various clubs throughout the territory have done much to advertise the air-conditioned equipment through huge parties, dances and gatherings of all kinds. And one of the most important features yet undertaken by the cl~tbs is that in most of the cities and towns along the line, they invite the merchants t o sit with them in their meetings and listen to the dis- cussion of the rail problem. Con- structive criticism and compllnlentary comments a r e exchanged t o the advan- tage of both railroad and shipper.

Each day and each month finds new contacts made, friends won over to the railroad and the old ties of friend- $hip made stronger

This year's totals should show a decided increase over the previous year, and there is more enthusiasm, more interest displayed each day. Members of the clubs on Frisco Lines have entered into this cam- paign of their own free wlll and ac- cord. They devote hours t o the sale of a ticket, for there is the feeling now and always has been, that the company and its employes have the same interests a t heart.

Really Hard Up

A Scotsman was stripping paper from the walls of his t when a friend called to see him.

"Weel, Sandy," said the visitor. "are ye goin' to have new paper?"

"Na. na." replied Sandy. "Ah'm just ~novin' into another house."
