MAGIC KINGDOM PANORAMA—From a parapet high in the towers of the Sleeping Beauty Castle the camera catches a view looking over the central plaza, Main Street, U.S.A., and the Sante Fe & Disneyland Railroad station at the far end of the street. On the right is a portion of Frontierland while to the left is the Red Wagon restaurant and entrance to Tomorrowland. The wooden tower on the far left is for one of the 23 television previews Grand Opening minutes telecast Sunday, shown washing the plaza dust in preparation of the seen throughout the pictures on buildings. to the left is the Red Wagon restaurant and entrance to seen throughout the picture Tomorrowland.

And these stretches will be growing longer and more frequent on the Santa Fe. For we're laying more all the time—103 miles of it this year. In fact, we're using a new electric welding process (for the first time by an American railroad) to help bring Santa Fe's new smoother ride to more people, more goods. But that's only part of the story. Just as a railroad is no better than its track, track itself is no better than what's underneath it—the roadbed, the ties, the ballast. So we've been busy with new improvements here, too. For instance, our own specially-developed "dry cleaner". This unique machine our ballast, keeps it more resilient so it lies flat and even. And today we're replacing old tracks longer and stronger new ones—treated to stay strong and sturdy for and more. Day after day, something new is being made "America's New Railroad newer and better. Santa Fe is spending millions of earned dollars every year on roadway and new equipment. And penny comes from the taxes you pay." SANTA FE SYSTEM LINES News From Cypress Way CHRISTINE DAVIS JACKSON The Firemen's celebration on the Fourth at Cypress park was termed successful from all points of view by observers. The breakfast in the morning was well attended, with a constant line being served from 7:30 a.m., until 11. Spectators at the ball game were kept in continuous laughter with the actions of the first athletic event of the kind to be held here. In the evening the whole town was illuminated by the huge aerial fireworks display sent up by the firemen from the park. Lasting about an hour, the brightly colored explosions could be seen for miles. Even though the score was 3 to 3, spokesmen for the Cypress Kiwanis Club claim victory over the Cypress Firemen in the donkey (ponies were used) ball game Monday. The game was played without any rules. That is where the Kiwanis lay their claim to victory, because they say if there had been rules, the firemen would have been cited for unethical procedures. Such actions, the Kiwanis point out as waving a hat at the pony as it came into home plate, and scaring it out into left field without crossing home plate, were not only irregular but unfair. But the crowd which filled the bleachers and overflowed into the edges of the field, were delighted with the antics of both the ponies and players. Most of the players' individual claims to fame will not permit injuries. The game was called end of two and one-half because of player fatigue McCoid, whose ponies were explained the unruly after the game, by some of them never ridden before.

Santa Fe is spending many ded dollars every year for new new equipment. And not one om the taxes you pay. What about expansion in these quarter-mile rails? Near Newton, Kansas, where yearly temperatures vary from 20° below to 114° above, we laid a 5-mile experimental stretch of welded rail. Here we found that anchoring the rail to every other tie restricted expansion to the area between anchors. Thus, overall expansion was reduced to the merest fraction of an inch between rail ends. In other words, expansion is no problem whatsoever. Cypress Way JACKSON 7-2810 Clyde Day, playing with the firemen, took the roughest spill of the day when the black shetland he was riding at full speed from center field to second base, threw him into the short stop thumball, besides numerous other unmentionable bruised areas. Many players were complaining of the latter; Dale Vandivort also suffered. Most of the players had individual claims to fame, but t space will not permit listing all injuries. The game was called at the end of two and one-half innings because of player fatigue. Slim McCold, whose ponies were used, explained the unruly animals after the game, by pointing-out some of them never had been ridden before.

One firemen summed up the department's feelings by saying, "We lost about $350 dollars, but if the fireworks display saved one child from getting seriously burned, it was worth it." So that everyone might realize the actual money involved in the display and celebration Monday the firemen have released the following figures: Total expenses for the day were $1,010.44. Receipts were $676, a deficit of $334.44, which they took out of their own pockets. They express their thanks for the cooperation of the people of the area and are planning the same thing next year and feel that they will have enough support next year to meet expenses.
