ZOELLNER STEER
HELPS IN WAR EFFORT
WeatWer conditions the past
we,elc be in* (avocablt for plowing
and spading victory gardens, fam
ily cooperation was very much in
evidence in the C. H. Zoellner
garden. Mr. . Zoellner wished to
use his own steer tor plowing, and
with three sons in the armed
forces, he felt it necessary to call
on Mrs. ZoeHner to lead the ani
mal while He guided the plow. The
steer showed a decided dislike for
being led, and the situation was
reversed, with Mr. Zoellner lead
ing and Mrs. ZoeHner guiding the
piow. This time however, it . was
Mrs. Zoellner who did not like the
arrangement and after one rather
unsuccessful round of the garden
ihe retired from the field of ac
tion.
Meanwhile the steer caught on
to what was expected of him and
the plowing was finished without
further mishap.

From where I sit . . .
oe Marsh
Must sav that the best store
keeper in these parts is probably
Sam Abernethy. Sam's got a
formula for success that's hard
to beat.
"Remember that you're not
the boss," he says. "The folks
who trade witb you are the real
bosses, and you've got to run
your business the way they
want it."
And that goea for selling
everything ? including beer.
Right now the brewer* and the
beer distributors are cooperating
with authorities in a "clean up
or close up" campaign, to ses
that beer is sold in clean, quiet
decent places. They're running
their business the way the pub
lic wants to see it ran.
And from where I sit, it's a
mighty tut thing ifor an indus
try to undertake a job like that
?all on its own.

'HI-YA, soldier^
Xi made Jim feel mighty proud when that
youngster >ooked up at the cab window and called
jut, "Hi-Ya, Soldier! "
You see, Jim fought in France in the last war . .
oefore many of the boys who t.re fighting this war
vere born. 'v . ?
. Today, Jim's a locomotive engineer been with
(he 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 I " cleared up a lot of things that were
troubling Jim. For it made him realize that he is a
joldien In this war, tool
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 anc
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 Woing the tracks clear for Victory!
