PAIOA'^» MAflCH tL 1t4t mmmmmrnaafmmaaammaamm New Nock ^gnal System IsPlmined For the Seaboard Will Extend 240 Milos From • Hamle^ N. C. To Sawan- - nab, Georgia The Seaboard Air Line railway has signal system installation plans toi the division extending from Hamlet through Camden, Columbia and as far as Savahnah, Ga., some 240 miles. Work on the Insts^nstion of this new system 'cannot be started un til. material and trained installation men can be obtained. Receivers of the Seaboard liave re plied to a recent order of the inter state Commerce Commission order to show cause why they should not be obliged to equip 1,374 mileS of their syst^ with modern signal systems by declaring that the project would cost over 10 million dollars. The I.C.C. order cites li recent accidents on the railroad and has asked the Seaboard to present any reason why it should not be required to revise the block sig nal system and install new systems on lines where a speed of 50 miles an hOur or more is authorized. In reply to the I.C.C. the Seaboard defended its safety record and de clared that during the three years and .nine 'months ending September 30, 1945, less than one per cenL of train accidents classified' as collisions oc curred on Seaboard lines although it operated more than 1.5 per cent, of the total locomotive miles. The rail road declared that the period in which the II ai;cidents occurred embrace al most the entire war period wheh the railroad was called upon • to hqndle an unprecented volume of traffic in the face of acute manpowerv^ind ma terial shortages. ’ The Hamlet to Savannah block sig nal system had already been planned before the I.C.C. made its announce- nment. The Seaboard has announced the purchase of 31 stainless steel’Pullman cars. Sixteen from the E. G. Budd Company, 12 from Pullman-Standard and three from the Americapi^ar and Foundry Company. These'hew Pull mans will be used on the Nlw Yok to Miami and New York t(f St. Peters burg runs.

PHONE 641 WOODWARD FIELD The Truth About Home Buildind in 1946 ITS TIME VETERANS AND CITl- ZENS WERE TOLD THE* TRUTH ABOUT THE HOME BUILDING SIT- UATION. V. The main bottleneck to home constraotion is production ot materials and equipmenL No legislation. Presidential announcement, government control plan, or syatMu can produce a single additional home until production of materials Is speeded up. Lumber Dealers and the Building Industry are eager to build homes for veterans and all citi zens who need them. The reason few homea are being built la because 'materials are aot bMng produced,. WHY? \ 1. Governed by OPA’s war-time pricing formulas. It Is stfll more profitable for lumber mills 'to make Itaaia for eeportp— and the items formerly required for war uee, than It is to make . lumber usable In Home Construction. .e 2. OPA’s war-time pricing formulas are still keeping thousands of small mllla out of production. 3. OPA’s enforcement policlee have allowed the creation of a large black market Ih lumber which is moving outside of ii6.| nlar channels el trade. 4. OPA’s slowness in adjusting mill oei prices on hardwood flooring, sidtui, i work and plywood has contributed t* difficulties mills are having in necessary manpower. f With 400 brick and tile plants closed, M. 6 months for OPA to adjust IF****' ditional 126 plants have openM and is up 35 percent Clay eewer pipe, cast Iron soil plps ss^ sum board. manufacturers hsse experlsscslj similar OPA delay in ths granting of JusUnents to make Increased production No amount of juggling with an supply will produce a, single, home mof* cao be built with the materul availabla The OPA can hSrdly hold present pri**- ings when it hss no osntrol ever volume ^ ployment labor wage catos, 'Saahing of f ment bonds, and installment or credit Sion—BUT THE OPA CAN ACT AS A bowg TO RECONVERSION BT OANOINO TO W'l REALISTIC WARTIME PRICE CEIURO*.
