1 be right to
COME and GO
when we pleare
rpHTS is a fightto-the- finish we are is ? *
|_ grim war for survival. 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.
