How or ever make ~ times have changed. If you want our candid opinion, our relief setup is convert- ing many heretofore industrious workers into first-class loaf- FF 5% ers. Some time ago the Lancaster Automobile Club asked to * have the toll on the river bridge at Columbia reduced. Now the White Rose Motor Club, of York, has made a similar re- quest, emphasizing the fact that commuters should at least £39 be granted special privileges. In our opinion it would not be more than fair to permit commuters or others in this section who use the bridge fre- quently, a lower rate. We'll admit the bonds would not be paid off quite as soon as by the present method, but a readjustment of the rates would equalize the financial burden on motorists. In some of the adjoining states where bridges are numer- ous, the motorist who crosses those bridges once or so in months, pays a much higher rate. Community residents buy strip tickets at greatly reduced rates so why not here? We all take air, light and water for granted. The better they are, the less we think about them or appreciate them. It is only when the supply of these necessities is poor and in- ferior that we kick. The same situation exists in connection with the essential part played by the railroads, both locally and nationally, in mobilizing and making effective relief efforts in connection with the Ohio and Mississippi valley floods. We just take railroad service for granted, and the better the railroads do their job, the less we say about them. The railroads on both sides of the Ohio river have operated their trains just as close to the flood lines as a train could be taken; have set up emergency terminal facilities wherever possible; have maintained local shuttle service, at heavy ex- pense, in those cases where through service was cut off’; have brought in the great bulk of all the supplies of food, fuel and equipment which have gone into the flood-stricken area; have taken out great numbers of refugees; and, in general, made possible the work of relief and rescue. Without the public even knowing about it, the railroads mobilized car supplies to take care of not only the people, the livestock and the relief needs of threatened areas, but also the commerce. Coal mines have been kept in operation by reason of the ability of the railroads to divert and marshal coal cars wherever needed. Thousands of extra box cars were miobilized with the idea that if evacuation of the lower Mis- sissippi valley should become necessary on any large scale, the car supply would be available to bring out not only the people and livestock, but their cotton, manufactured goods, stocks in trade, and the materials necessary to enable them to resume business when the waters receded. All of this was done quietly and without fuss, as part of the organized ser- Much of it was done without PTY LY EOL I SESE FERS ESN, vice of the American railroads. cost to relief authorities or to refugees. Railroads in the flood emergency, as in their everyday ser- vice, are pretty much taken for granted in the United States. When a railroad took into Louisville in one night 35 carloads of coal and trainloads of food and other supplies, that wasn’t news. That's what the railroads were supposed to do. When an airplane unloaded a crate of bread at the airport one would think that the miracle of the loaves and the fishes was about to be repeated. After all, taking the railroads for granted, like light, air and water, is probably the highest tribute to them, but, neverthe- less, they are organizations run by human beings to whom a word of gratitude and appreciation is not amiss when it is so justly deserved. Just being taken for granted becomes rather stale for the best of us. YY SESS EEN EE) iE THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO. PA.

The project, which is expected to cost slightly more than $200,000 will be completed with federal aid. Another Project Underway Another improvement project on the highway is now underway. This will eliminate the bridge over the railroad at Salunga as well as a number of dangerous curves. The new project has been long sought by users of the highway be- cause of the dangerous condition which exists at the underpasses, all of which are approached by right angle turns. When the modernization projects are completed traffic from south- eastern Pennsylvania to the state's capital may be speeded up over safe highways.
