The stakes are the highest in all the history of mankind. And one of them is the American's traditional right to come and go when he pleases. Our enemies say that they will erase this birthright of ours; that they'll tell us when we can come and go. But they'll find that it's easier said than done. No goose-stepping Nazi; no squint-eyed Jap is going to tell Americans that they can't run down to the seashore or vacation in the moun tains or take the children to visit Aunt Mary back home. For we are going to win this war! How? With the bravery and the brilliancc of our men in uniform. With the toil and sweat of millions of loyal workers in forest, field, factory and mine. With our genius for invention, organization and production. With the willing sacrifices of every patriotic Ameri can. Yes, we will win this "ven if we have to lay aside for awhile our right 10 come and go when we please. That's why the officers and employees of the Southern Railway System have solemnly pledged their ail to the winning of the war. That's why our entire transportation plant; ail our re sources of man-power and experience are en listed for the duration in the service of the na tion. That's why we put the transportation needs of Uncle Sam first ? before any and every civilian need ? that your right to come and go when you please may be preserved for you and for the generations of Americans yet to come. In the first seven months of thai year ?B have carried almost 600,000 men in unifocal, aft moving under orders. They traveled in 24,915 coaches and Pullmans; in 1,564 special trains and 5,563 extra cars attached to our regular passenger trains. And these figures do not in clude the additional hundreds of thousands who have traveled over our lines on furlough or in small groups on transfer orders. That's why our trains are often late ? troop trains and war freight have the right of way. That's why they are often crowded ? so many boys want to visit home at the same time. That's why we have pressed old coaches into service in our desperate effort to help everyone to come and go when they please. That's why we have had to lower temporarily the standards of serv ice of which we have been so proud. And that's the way we know you want it to be. Your willing sacrifices of some travel com forts and conveniences are more than a personal contribution to the war effort. They are an inspiration to those of us who railroad to plan for the day when vic.ory comes; to plan for a better Southern Railway System better to "Serve the South". For, with victory, we know that a. new day will come to our Southland; a new day of prosperity and happiness and peace; a newr day with freedom to come and go when you please. That is worth fighting for! President. SOUTHERN RAfLWAYj SYSTEM THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
