reasons Robert Mandell gave forwriting his essay on why he likesto work for our railroad and whatbetter reasons could there be

Bob is a big smiling fellow whospends the hours from 7 30 ~M till4 00 PM each day making sure ourfreight cars are in perfect condition

His career with the Milwaukee beshygan in January 1941 as a freightcar oiler In addition to his presentjob he has been a passenger car inshyipector which was his work at thetime he wrote his winning essay

It could be that Bob decided to joinour company because of his fathersyears with the Milwaukee GeorgeMandeIl vas one of our lar inspecshytors and when he retired in 1947 hehad 45 years of service with the comshypany

Sales-Ed_ucational Meetings Aid Traffic Prospects

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

P H Draver general freight tra fie manager presided at freigll meetings in Chicago and Kansa City while R H Harding assistan freight traflic manager handled th meetings in the East and H S Zanl freight traffic manager presided H

those in Des Moines and Minn( apolis J O Mdlyar western traf fic manager planned to take charlt of the freight meetings in Seam and Butte Harry Sengstacke passenger traffic manager and Wi Iiam Wallace assistant passeng traffie manager presided at all of th passenger meetings

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

A crowded double-deck bus stopp at a corner and a stout man descend the stairs carrying a small girl positing her carefully on the curb climbed back up and brought down little boy Again he made the journ to the top of the bus and this time carried down a younger child

For goodness sake snapped a w an waiting to get on the bus~wh

T HE reg-ional sales-educationalmeetings which both the freight

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of pointsboth on and off line with key freightmid passenger traffic officers goingto thoe points to conduct the meetshyings instead of cnling th regionalmen into Chicago or other h adquarshyten offices This enable the travelshying agents and the cit~r agents whoordinarily wDuld not a ttend the biggeneral traffie meetings to attendand learn of new developments andsales techniques first-hand from toptraffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indudeeducational aspects of the sellingjob with the result that the indishyvidual ean approaeh his work witha greater fund of specific knowledgeand a broader general baekgroundof information involving everythingfrom yard layouts in far di tant tershyminals to human relations and thepsychology of selling

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

Sales-Ed_ucational Meetings Aid Traffic Prospects

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

P H Draver general freight tra fie manager presided at freigll meetings in Chicago and Kansa City while R H Harding assistan freight traflic manager handled th meetings in the East and H S Zanl freight traffic manager presided H

those in Des Moines and Minn( apolis J O Mdlyar western traf fic manager planned to take charlt of the freight meetings in Seam and Butte Harry Sengstacke passenger traffic manager and Wi Iiam Wallace assistant passeng traffie manager presided at all of th passenger meetings

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

A crowded double-deck bus stopp at a corner and a stout man descend the stairs carrying a small girl positing her carefully on the curb climbed back up and brought down little boy Again he made the journ to the top of the bus and this time carried down a younger child

For goodness sake snapped a w an waiting to get on the bus~wh

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of pointsboth on and off line with key freightmid passenger traffic officers goingto thoe points to conduct the meetshyings instead of cnling th regionalmen into Chicago or other h adquarshyten offices This enable the travelshying agents and the cit~r agents whoordinarily wDuld not a ttend the biggeneral traffie meetings to attendand learn of new developments andsales techniques first-hand from toptraffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indudeeducational aspects of the sellingjob with the result that the indishyvidual ean approaeh his work witha greater fund of specific knowledgeand a broader general baekgroundof information involving everythingfrom yard layouts in far di tant tershyminals to human relations and thepsychology of selling

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

P H Draver general freight tra fie manager presided at freigll meetings in Chicago and Kansa City while R H Harding assistan freight traflic manager handled th meetings in the East and H S Zanl freight traffic manager presided H

those in Des Moines and Minn( apolis J O Mdlyar western traf fic manager planned to take charlt of the freight meetings in Seam and Butte Harry Sengstacke passenger traffic manager and Wi Iiam Wallace assistant passeng traffie manager presided at all of th passenger meetings

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

A crowded double-deck bus stopp at a corner and a stout man descend the stairs carrying a small girl positing her carefully on the curb climbed back up and brought down little boy Again he made the journ to the top of the bus and this time carried down a younger child

T HE reg-ional sales-educationalmeetings which both the freight

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of pointsboth on and off line with key freightmid passenger traffic officers goingto thoe points to conduct the meetshyings instead of cnling th regionalmen into Chicago or other h adquarshyten offices This enable the travelshying agents and the cit~r agents whoordinarily wDuld not a ttend the biggeneral traffie meetings to attendand learn of new developments andsales techniques first-hand from toptraffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indudeeducational aspects of the sellingjob with the result that the indishyvidual ean approaeh his work witha greater fund of specific knowledgeand a broader general baekgroundof information involving everythingfrom yard layouts in far di tant tershyminals to human relations and thepsychology of selling

Sales-Ed_ucational Meetings Aid Traffic Prospects

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

P H Draver general freight tra fie manager presided at freigll meetings in Chicago and Kansa City while R H Harding assistan freight traflic manager handled th meetings in the East and H S Zanl freight traffic manager presided H

those in Des Moines and Minn( apolis J O Mdlyar western traf fic manager planned to take charlt of the freight meetings in Seam and Butte Harry Sengstacke passenger traffic manager and Wi Iiam Wallace assistant passeng traffie manager presided at all of th passenger meetings

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

A crowded double-deck bus stopp at a corner and a stout man descend the stairs carrying a small girl positing her carefully on the curb climbed back up and brought down little boy Again he made the journ to the top of the bus and this time carried down a younger child

For goodness sake snapped a w an waiting to get on the bus~wh

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of pointsboth on and off line with key freightmid passenger traffic officers goingto thoe points to conduct the meetshyings instead of cnling th regionalmen into Chicago or other h adquarshyten offices This enable the travelshying agents and the cit~r agents whoordinarily wDuld not a ttend the biggeneral traffie meetings to attendand learn of new developments andsales techniques first-hand from toptraffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indudeeducational aspects of the sellingjob with the result that the indishyvidual ean approaeh his work witha greater fund of specific knowledgeand a broader general baekgroundof information involving everythingfrom yard layouts in far di tant tershyminals to human relations and thepsychology of selling

Sales-Ed_ucational Meetings Aid Traffic Prospects

T HE regional sales-educational meetings whith both the freight

and passenger traffic departments have been holding during recent weeks give every evidence of success on all counts and are presently being witten into regular traffic promotion plans on the Milwaukee Road

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of points both on and off line with key freight arid passenger traffic officers going to those points to conduct the meetshyings instead of calling- the regional men into Chicago or other headquarshyters offiees This enables the travelshying agents and the city agents who ordinarily would not attend the big general traffie meetings to attend and learn of new developments and sales techniques first-hand from top traffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indude educational a~peds of the selling job with the result that the indishyvidual ean approach his work with a g-reater fund of specific knowledge and a broader general background of information involving everything from yard layouts in far distant tershyminals to human relations and the psychology of selling

Meetings were held during March and April in Chicago Cleveland New York Philad~lphia Kansas City Des Moines and Minneapolis In

eltteh case the ileight and passenger meetings were held on consecutive days The paiSenger department also held a meeting in Seattle Oil

Apr 26 but the Seattle freight meeting was scheduled for May 9 followed by allother in Butte on May 25 Los Angeles will also be a meeting point fit a later date

P H Draver general freight tra fie manager presided at freigll meetings in Chicago and Kansa City while R H Harding assistan freight traflic manager handled th meetings in the East and H S Zanl freight traffic manager presided H

those in Des Moines and Minn( apolis J O Mdlyar western traf fic manager planned to take charlt of the freight meetings in Seam and Butte Harry Sengstacke passenger traffic manager and Wi Iiam Wallace assistant passeng traffie manager presided at all of th passenger meetings

In order to give the I

freight traffie men a more d understanding of the service th are selling men completely famili with tmck layouts in the Chiea and Milwaukee terminals attend all of the seslions armed with ma and answers to the many questio posed by the traffic men many whom had never lwd an opportuni to study the layouts first-hand M from other terminal areas will tend future meetings

The pre~ent plan calls for the co pletion of a cycle of regional sal ecuratifmal meeting-s every eig mouth tv a ~middotenr

A crowded double-deck bus stopp at a corner and a stout man descend the stairs carrying a small girl positing her carefully on the curb climbed back up and brought down little boy Again he made the journ to the top of the bus and this time carried down a younger child

As the name implies these meetshyings are held at a number of pointsboth on and off line with key freightmid passenger traffic officers goingto thoe points to conduct the meetshyings instead of cnling th regionalmen into Chicago or other h adquarshyten offices This enable the travelshying agents and the cit~r agents whoordinarily wDuld not a ttend the biggeneral traffie meetings to attendand learn of new developments andsales techniques first-hand from toptraffic men

The agenda of the regional meetshyings has been broadened to indudeeducational aspects of the sellingjob with the result that the indishyvidual ean approaeh his work witha greater fund of specific knowledgeand a broader general baekgroundof information involving everythingfrom yard layouts in far di tant tershyminals to human relations and thepsychology of selling

The storm started the morning of Mar 30 and inereased during the day-large heavy snowflakes ih1t clung tenaciously to everything they touched About () 20 PM the local radio statioll KlVIHK went dead and shortly aftenva nl tIll) city was without lights or power By morning nine inches of snow covered the ground and Mitchell and the surrounding towns were without communication facilities other than the local amateur shortshywave radio stations The operators of these stations left their regular jobs and worked in shifts to relay emergency messages calls for asshysistance and directions to line erews

Roads were blocked by tangled wires and poles It was estimated that at least 300 cars were stalled between Emery and Sioux Fall and three buses were stalled about 11 miles west of Sioux Falls Trains were avle to operate practically on time hut were vvithout wire service and dispatcher at Mikhell worked by the light of kerosene lamps and ga1oline lanterns

Wa eaten by candle or lamp light The male population dependent on elellric razors wpnt to work unshyshaven no toat popped out of toaLen the hands on electric clo(ks stood still and no radios Shattered the morning quiet

Between Marion Junction and White Lake some 800 poles toshygether with hundreds of cross wires were uroken and damaged Tenty-even polesyere down beshytween Mitchell clUd Scotland and through Mitchell yard wires were uadly tangled No communication wa~ established between Mitchell and Sioux City until the morning of Apr 1 and service between Mitchell and Aberdeen was repaired temporarily that evening Service between Marion J un c t ion and Mitchell was not resumed until three da after the storm and that between Mitchell und White Lake took another day

All IampD line crews were brought into the territory as well as crews from Perry la and Waubay S D The Sioux City and Marquette news arrived by train and truck to establish communications as

A WAY WITH AFRICAN VIOLET by Katherine M Gohmann

T HRrE yeal~ aj(o Mrs Stanley ~

Thomas wife of assistant engishyneer in the division eng-ineers office at Marion Ia acquired a few Afrishycan violet plants As a hobby they drew her interest when she found that they eould be propagated sucshycessfully and she now has mOre than 600 plants to show or her efforts

The Ihoma collection contains some 80 varieties of the 100 or so which are grown The latest addishytion is a Browns Old Lace a vashyriety which is rare and n0 MIs Thomas has developed a distinct vashyriety herself which is becoming well known among violet fanciers It is listed oflicially under the name of Rabbit gars

As the collection began to grow Mr Thomas who is also a lover of flowers drew plans for a greenhouse in which the plants could be raised under ideal conditions He erected it during his vacation in the summer of 1947 a prefahricated conservashytory 9x13 feet in sizE adjoining their home on the west The door was cut through the hall which led into the kitchen He laid the floor in the greenhouse built tables shelves and benches and put in an automatic venshytilator A small oil stove was inshystalled and thermostatically conshytrolled cables were laid under the earth on the tables to distribute heat to the growing plants

Mrs Thomas has studied the care and culture of the violet extensively but the greater part of her knowlshyedge comes from actual experience When she acquires a new plant from an outside source it is isolated with other new plants for 30 days or more The quarantine is for the purpose of determining if the plant is diseased before it is placed in the greenhouse Choice matured plants are kept on glass shelves at the windows inside the home

Mrs Thomas collection is a riot

of color-pure white violets pink light and dark blue several shades of purple in both single ancl double blooms Some of the older plants measure as much as 18 inches across and have flowers larger than a half dollar The greatest pleasure she deshyrives from her hobby is giving the plants away to cheer up a sick room

Aceording to Mrs Thoma prior to 1936 very little as known about African violets but since that time they have been hybridized and develshyoped to such an extent that they are

now among the most popular hou plants Her interest in them has Ie her to join the African Violet S ciety of America She b also a me bel of the Nature and Garden Clu in Marion

A WAY WITH AFRICAN VIOLET by Katherine M Gohmann

T HRrE yeal~ aj(o Mrs Stanley ~

Thomas wife of assistant engishyneer in the division eng-ineers office at Marion Ia acquired a few Afrishycan violet plants As a hobby they drew her interest when she found that they eould be propagated sucshycessfully and she now has mOre than 600 plants to show or her efforts

The Ihoma collection contains some 80 varieties of the 100 or so which are grown The latest addishytion is a Browns Old Lace a vashyriety which is rare and n0 MIs Thomas has developed a distinct vashyriety herself which is becoming well known among violet fanciers It is listed oflicially under the name of Rabbit gars

As the collection began to grow Mr Thomas who is also a lover of flowers drew plans for a greenhouse in which the plants could be raised under ideal conditions He erected it during his vacation in the summer of 1947 a prefahricated conservashytory 9x13 feet in sizE adjoining their home on the west The door was cut through the hall which led into the kitchen He laid the floor in the greenhouse built tables shelves and benches and put in an automatic venshytilator A small oil stove was inshystalled and thermostatically conshytrolled cables were laid under the earth on the tables to distribute heat to the growing plants

Mrs Thomas has studied the care and culture of the violet extensively but the greater part of her knowlshyedge comes from actual experience When she acquires a new plant from an outside source it is isolated with other new plants for 30 days or more The quarantine is for the purpose of determining if the plant is diseased before it is placed in the greenhouse Choice matured plants are kept on glass shelves at the windows inside the home

Mrs Thomas collection is a riot

of color-pure white violets pink light and dark blue several shades of purple in both single ancl double blooms Some of the older plants measure as much as 18 inches across and have flowers larger than a half dollar The greatest pleasure she deshyrives from her hobby is giving the plants away to cheer up a sick room

Aceording to Mrs Thoma prior to 1936 very little as known about African violets but since that time they have been hybridized and develshyoped to such an extent that they are

now among the most popular hou plants Her interest in them has Ie her to join the African Violet S ciety of America She b also a me bel of the Nature and Garden Clu in Marion

Milwaukee Road TaxesMount Higher by the MinuteEVERYONE knows that the Milwaukee Roads total annual tax billamounts to a staggering sum but people have beconH so accustomedto reading federal government figures in the billions of dollars that our

railroads tlXeS of $21265000 for 1948 may not look like the big

piece of money it really is

Broken down into the kind of figures which we as individuals arc

more familiar with it looks different

$21265000 in taxes for the yedr 1948 equals $5826024 per day$242751 per hour or $4046 per minute And that is every minuteof every hour of every day of every week of every month of the year

In the 10 minutes it took the writer to put these thoughts on paperthe tax bill went up another $40460 Unfortunately it didnt stop

with the writing

Milwaukee Road TaxesMount Higher by the MinuteEVERYONE knows that the Milwaukee Roads total annual tax billamounts to a staggering sum but people have beconH so accustomedto reading federal government figures in the billions of dollars that our

railroads tlXeS of $21265000 for 1948 may not look like the big

piece of money it really is

Broken down into the kind of figures which we as individuals arc

more familiar with it looks different

$21265000 in taxes for the yedr 1948 equals $5826024 per day$242751 per hour or $4046 per minute And that is every minuteof every hour of every day of every week of every month of the year

In the 10 minutes it took the writer to put these thoughts on paperthe tax bill went up another $40460 Unfortunately it didnt stop

with the writing
