Los Angeles St. Anaheim Cited Motorist Thanks CHP for Traffic Ticket SACRAMENTO—The stranger of a man who was glad got a traffic ticket has convinced the California Highway Patrol there at least one driver in state who knows the value driving at safe speeds. On a recent holiday jaunt with his family the man was cited a highway patrolman for doing after getting the ticket, he was on his way but kept his spike below 50. Five miles down road a front tire blew out. The car swerved wildly but the driver managed to bring it to a stop. He didn't need a picture to show him what would have happened had he still been rolling along at 70. The pay-off came when he wrote to the commander of the Patrol area where he picked up the ticket, asking him to thank the officer who cited him, expressing hope that other motorists would profit from his experience and saying he "gratefully" paid the penalty. Commenting on the incident Patrol Commissioner B. R. Carwell agreed that the letter written fortunate to have been stopped. He said patrol files are being with coroner's reports on hundreds of other motorists we weren't so lucky. A busy and colorful past, an exciting present, and... bright horizons ahead! A message from the president of Southern Pacific to the 100,000 people in SP’s family—reprinted from the Southern Pacific Bulletin, employes’ magazine. This month we observe an important anniverary in our railroad's history. It was 84 years ago, on May 10, 1869, that the Golden Spike was driven at Promontory, Utah, completing the first transcontinental railroad of which our pioneer line was the Western link. It is a good time to pause and take stock. Let us consider where we are today—and where we are going. Unexpected Reverses After overcoming the tremendous difficulties involved in constructing the railroad that "couldn't be built," the "Big Four" (Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins and Crocker) immediately had to face the problem of developing traffic. They had expected a large volume of freight from the Orient and from the Nevada mines, but the newly-built Suez Canal diverted the Oriental trade and Nevada mine production slumped. Pioneer Promoters of the West So, to develop traffic, an aggressive campaign was begun to bring settlers, tourists and industries to the territory served by the railroad. This effort was effective and is still being carried on today. Now—just as 84 years ago—our railroad and development of the “Golden Empire,” but to stay ahead of it. We will continue to provide our full share of the modern, efficient transportation service needed by the dynamic area we serve. We’re Getting Younger We were a new railroad in 1869. Today we are 84 years young. Our “steel highway” has been rebuilt many times and is immeasurably better than it was in 1869. Our trains and facilities have also been replaced in the same way. Since the end of World War II we have invested almost half a billion dollars in plant and equipment. Each succeeding year sees us in a better position to give still finer service. New Philosophies of Service Those pioneer railroad days were exciting, but what of today? Today we are living in an era of great discoveries in science and invention. We are applying many of these to railroading. Now we are making use of electronics. We have “push-button” freight yards that sort cars almost automatically, radio communication direct to trains, radar, electronic equipment to keep tabs on freight cars, and machines which speed up ac- Pioneer Promoters of the West So, to develop traffic, an aggressive campaign was begun to bring settlers, tourists and industries to the territory served by the railroad. This effort was effective and is still being carried on today. Now—just as 84 years ago—our railroad and our industry face complex problems, but, working together, we will meet our problems effectively just as our predecessors met theirs. The great territory we serve, our Golden Empire of eight Western and Southwestern states, has had an amazing development. Its present rate of population and industrial growth is much greater than that of the rest of the country. In this growth we play an important part. But still greater progress and opportunities lie ahead. We need have no nostalgia for the "good old days." Southern Pacific is making extensive studies and plans not only to keep pace with the future New Philosophies of Service Those pioneer railroad days were exciting, but what of today? Today we are living in an era of great discoveries in science and invention. We are applying many of these to railroading. Now we are making use of electronics. We have "push-button" freight yards that sort cars almost automatically, radio communication direct to trains, radar, electronic equipment to keep tabs on freight cars, and machines which speed up accounting and eliminate a great deal of drudgery. We have new types of locomotives representing a great advance in railroad efficiency. We are making use of new techniques and methods, many of which actually create new jobs. We have new philosophies of service. We are making new advances, too, in the field of human relations, both within our company and in our dealings with the public. New, Greater Opportunities If we but consider what is going on around us, we can gain an awareness of our new opportunities that should give us new stimulus, new encouragement. We are grateful to those early pioneers who built so soundly and placed in our care a great railroad system. It is our privilege to carry on in a broad-gauge way so that we may leave a still better heritage to those who come after us. We live in an exciting present and we face a future that is full of promise for each of us and for our railroad.

UTT When President Eisenhower flew to New York recently to deliver speeches at Republican Party rallies, he did not use the Presidential plane "Columbine" but rather went in a chartered commercial plane, the cost of which was borne by the Republican State Committee. White House Secretary Hagerty said, "We do not believe in using the President's plane when he is going to political meetings." This decision is considered to be without precedent during the past 20 years. President Eisenhower also gave an example of the new and highly desirable thinking of the present administration in his opening remarks to the Conference of Governors which met in Washington this month. He said, "All political wisdom does not reside in the White House, nor in the Executive Branch, nor in Washington itself. It comes from the minds and hearts of sincere and devoted men, wherever their field of action—whether in federal, state, or local government, or in private life." New Tax Plan The 30 or 40 million people of our country whose income is entirely from salaries or wages and who have had the annual headache of remembering to get a tax return filed by March 15 each year, can take heart from the Vets Warned on Deadlines for plan which Commissioner of Internal Revenue Andrews is now working on. Under this plan, these people will simply get a bill or refund from the Revenue Bureau. Their income taxes will be paid as now, through deductions from their pay checks, but no returns will be necessary; the Bureau will either send out a refund to those who had overpaid or a bill to those whose withholdings did not equal the tax. While this plan will eliminate the additional paperwork and trouble on the part of the taxpayer, it will have the added advantage of saving him tax money by reducing the amount of printed matter necessary and the number of personnel required to process returns. Home Construction The construction of the huge number of new homes that will be necessary this year is encouraged by the recent government order increasing to 4½%, interest on private home loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration and those guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. This is an addition of one-quarter per cent to the rate on FHA insured loans and one-half per cent to the rate on mortgages insured by the VA. In a news release on this subject, the Veterans Administration pointed out that general increases in interest rates have resulted in a drying up of the supply of 4% money and, therefore, veterans have found it difficult to secure loans on that basis.

Vets Warned on Deadlines for GI Schooling Korean veterans who plan to attend school under the new GI bill must start training within two years after discharge and complete training within seven years, advised Ben Lieberman, Orange county veterans service officer. Stay alert to these deadlines. Persons returning from military service right now, and especially those who have been back for a while, cannot too long postpone a decision about going back to school. Today is not too early for veterans to start charting educational goals. They may discover that a course they want is being offered during one semester and not during another—or at some other institution. In certain fields they may have to go on waiting lists.
