Vacation Travel Must Be Curtailed Vacation travel must be "dJusUul to the necessities of the present trans portion .Uua.ton, H <?'>"<?* centra ted in one or two aunnmer months. It must be spread out the year. It must avo'd,^ be end and holiday peaks, and It must curtailed to the limit. "Travel normally Increases In tt summer month.. Thl. year. >>?"?*" the railroads an<l bus Hue. wl" "<>t be able to handle the ordinary seasonal Increase on top of the extraordinary Increases In military and business travel. It is therefore imperative that civilians who can stay on trains and busses do so."?Joseplb M. KMtman, director. Office of Defense Transportation. "Although the railroads have performed and are performing miracles with the equipment they have, they, ure fast approaching their physical limitations. They must have additional equipment, particularly locomotives. If they are to continue to supply fully the wants of this \r&nBportation consuming ^itlon. I can thin a of no more advantageous allocation of steel than one that will insure the arrival on the battlefrout of armament, food and clothes. In fact, It takes railroads to deliver the materials that go into the manufacture of the engines of war in the first place. If our railroads fall, our entire worldwide military effort falls. We might suffer military reverses, and still win this war. But we can't avoid defeat should our railroads fall."?Hon J. Monroe Johnson, member, Interstate Commerce Commission. Railroad statistics show that the average soldier takes six train rides, exclusive of furlough, In the period betwoeh his induction and his ultimate embarkation. Furthermore, du|S lag that period, his equipment must be assembled from all over the country, and be must be fed. After his embarkation, the supply problem continues. A constant stream of freight cars must arrive at ports dally with food and equipment for transportation abroad. We have heard from the start of this emergency that transportation would be a bottleneck?the facilities could never carry the load, but although this load has contantly Increased, and with limited new facilities, the load has been carried. Labor-Saving Hints For Farmers Schnectady. N. Y?Hints of how the farm labor shortage problem may be attacked "by using the labor you have as efficiently as possible," were given by J. E. Carrigan. dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Vermont. Burlington, in a General Electric Farm Forum address here. Here are some suggestions Dean Carrigan has for farmers: Watch your neighbors. Each one of your neighbors is probably doing something more efficiently than you. Plan ahead, figuring how to get things done before necessity Compels them to be done Have important things to do. ready and waiting for the next rainy day. Keep needed machinery and equipment in repair. Borro wand lend out to neighbors. Exchange not only tools and machinery, but exchange work also. Use tractors and other power equip-; ment on a constant basis. Use make-Shift machinery, such as "doodle bug" tractors, made from old cars. Arrange barns and use labor-saving devices to cut the time of doing chores and other work.
