YES, she's on top of the world... her fairyland
world of fun and play and rides on Daddy's
shoulder.
If s a world of glorious new adventures by day...
of song and love and laughter ... of peace and
pleasant dreams at night... a world that knows
no hate or hunger, no fear of sudden death, no
terror of families torn apart
If s the kind of a world that the 42,000 men and
women of the Southern Railway System are fight
ing for... repairing cars and locomotives in record
breaking time... finding new and better ways to
r
"railroad"... always managing, somehow, to do
"the impossible."
For they know... these men and women of the
Southern Railway... that, by doing these things,
they are helping to win the war.
They know, too, that they are learning how better
to serve the Greater South that will emerge with
Victory... the Southland in which the little children
will truly be "on top of the world"... laughing and
playing without fear...and growing up in a veri
