News From Press
Dr. Henry W. Gante, of
Anderson, Ind., who, with
Mrs. Gante, is spending the
season at their summer
home here, relates the fol
lowing interesting incident
in connection with The
Franklin Press during World
War II:
Ralph Rotruck, son of the
mayor of Anderson, Ind.,
buddied with a fellow sol
dier, Joe Bowers, of the
Walnut Creek section of
Macon County, through
some of the severe fighting
in Germany. During a lull,
the Macxm County soldier
had time to read his Frank
lin Press and then laid it
aside.
. The Indiana soldier, not
having seen a. newspaper for
many weeks and thinking
even an unknown paper bet
ter than none, asked per
mission to see The Press.
While idly perusing its
pages, he saw that his fam
ily physician, Dr. Gante, and
Mrs. Gante were spending
some time at their summer
home in Highlands! The
small and unexpected item
in a strange newspaper
brought him a thrill as it
stirred memories of his In
diana home.

What makes a
RAILROAD?
Is it tracks and trains? Of course I
Is it the teamwork and devotion to duty of thousands of men
and women working together? You bet I
These things... and many more . . . make a railroad. And so do
the underlying policies that reflect the hopes and aspirations of the
railroad as a whole.
The policies that guide the Southern Railway System have not
varied through the years. They have been, and are? '
To develop the territory and to foster faith In tho
South, its poo pie and its opportunities.
To furnish safe, economical and adequate railroad
transportation in the territory where the "Southern
Serves the South."
To treat fairly and kindly the men and women whoso
work keeps the railroad going.
Co pay a fair return to tho owners of the property.
With steadfast faith, and with these principles that are recorded
in our 1946 Annual Report, the Southern confidently approaches
the future yea i*.
