Graham Kiwanians Sponsor T'
tory Garden for Graham School
At the meeting of the Graham

be worked by school children dur
ing the spring and summer
months. These children, he said,
could be paid for their work with
meal tickets on the school cafe
teria, issued at the beginning of
| next term.
The following were appointed |
on a committee to work out plana {
for the community school garden
H. G. McElroy, Ernest Thompson,
Joe Jarosz, Bill Horne, Austin
Garriss, Luther Nash, Jim Scott
and Bill Young.
The garden proposition is fine.
Properly planned and supervised
it can be made profitable and
worthwhile to both the school

should be advised of the plan. No
doubt many would be glad to fol
low suit.

^m-YA, SOLDIER^!
It made Jim feel mighty proud when that
youngster looked up at the cab window and called
out, "Hi-Ya, Soldier!"
You see, Jim fought in Prance in the last war...
before many of the boys who are fighting this war
were born.
Today, Jim's a locomotive engineer... been with
the Southern Railway System ever since he came
back home in 1919.
Then Pearl Harbor... and Jim began to feel uneasy.
Wondered if he shouldn't get back in uniform again.
But he doesn't feel that way now. That comradely
"Hi-Ya, Soldier!" cleared up a lot of things that were
troubling Jim. For it made him realize that he is a
soldier! In this war, too!
He remembers that tanks and ships can't be built,
or guns and planes roll off the production line ...
without railroad transportation.
He knows that fighting men would be hungry and
cold and helpless.. .without railroad transportation.
He knows that there would never be enough of
anything, where it is wanted, when it is needed...
without railroad transportation.
So Jim, and all the other men and women of the
Southern Railway System, are "good soldiers". . . :
doing their bit by keeping the wheels rolling under the
heaviest transportation load in history.
Their fight is the vital Battle of Transportation...
and they're keeping the tracks clear for Victory!
