Dr. George E. Sift Oda, iirOfes.
sor of sociology at the Colige;,
suggests ingfe.4a that isid#l.6 folk
encourage their kin to talk of 'ev.

,
It , is important,the tociologist
said, to inform the returned ger:
vicemen 'of current coinintinity,
political, and technological deceli
dprnents; and to' include thern in
the normal activities of the funny.
Relatives, he stressed, should
refrain from blunt statements of
appreciation or requests to ' "tell
me all about it." Instead, Dr.
Simpson suggested;'' veteratii
should-be persuaded to utilize
their war 'experiences in civilian
activities.
It will be a serious mistake, the
sociologist added, to thrust a "ipe
dal people" status on. veterans" or
to make them self-conscious by
constant references to their war
service.

STEEL RAILS connecting.coast

Lincoln's vision, realized by
the Driving of the Golden
Spike. This historic event, in
1869, united the first trans
continental tracks, and initiated
the nation-wide delivery by Ex- ,
press of commercial goods and
personal packages at passenger
train speed.
Today, Railway Express
operates on 230,000 miles of
track. Over them daily, 10,000
trains speed shipments of every
• kind to and from 23,000 offices. ' t
Included in this nation-wide
network is almost every college
town in America. Generations
of st9dents first learned about
Express Service when they left
home for college, then grew to
depend upon it during their
years on the campus.
