A DREAM FULFILLED The story of Charles R. Bush, who retires to his Perquimans County farm after half a century of rail roading, emerging, so to speak, from the strenuousness, the state of phy sical and mental tension, which a job like his involvles, into the tranquility of Perquimans County farm life, as Mr. Bush will live it, is intriguing. It is a dream fulfilled, and not every one realizes his dream of a life time as Charlie bush is doing, at the age of 70. How many have lived the average life-time and passed from the scene since Charlie hush first saw the light of day in the farm home of his par ents, just over the line from Perqui mans, in Chowan County! How many have lived the average life-time and passed from the scene since he took up his career of railroading, fifty years ago! Consider the story of Charlie Bush. He had u.,itition. He must have had a lot cf arnuiiiiii;, as v.-e'.l as a lot of stajil ty. Within five years from the tir.e he began his work on the rail road as a lad of 19, he was driving one of the fastest locomotives of one of the greatest of our railroad sys tems. And he stayed right on this run. Year in and year out. That is one of the most interesting phases of the story, that and the fact that he r was always climbing, always ad- vancing. For never once did he have' a major accident, never was a life lost on the train behind his locomo tive, laying with his family in the City of Washington, week in and week out he made his regular runs, what ever the number required, regularly over the same road. lie accumulated property, educated his children, laid by something for the rainy day, steadily driving hia locomotive, back and forth, beck and forth, between New York and Wash ington.. fib must have loved his work, or he could not, have done the "job so welL but always, in the back of his mind, was the ever-growing purpose some day to go back to the farm. What dreams he had of the joy, the peace, the tranquility, when this should come to pass, as the swiftly whirling wheels of his locomotive covered the distance, covered three million miles! , Here's to you, Mr. Bush. YouVe done something to be proud of. ITS A WINNING FIGHT Twentv-Mvm vonrs arm 4-ihwii.n-1 sis was the leadinir cause of death in 1 the United States. Today it has' Vfho wouldn't?
