COAST LINE GOAL
Railroad Employes Now
Engaged In Tenth An
nual Campaign
Atlantic Coast Line is having its
10th. annual month of “perfect
shipping" campaigns.
Ten years ago, April was desig
nated as the month in which to
handle freight with utmost care;
to prevent economic waste through
carelessness, and of course—to pro
tect the interest ot the railroad
companies of the nation, according
toD H. Crenshaw, assistant freight
claim agent for ACL.
Real Adventure
In an article written to the freight
employees, calling their attention
w the perfect shipping” cam
paign. Crenshaw said, “there is
beauty and adventure in trans
forming raw materials into finish
ed articles, and transporting them
safely into the hands of ultimate
customers.”
• There is also something sacred
about human life, a sad lesson
learned from the war; the personal
property belonging to human lives,
is likewise sacred.”
Careful Handling
•Personal property holds within
itself an inherent right to our most
careful handling, and it is the duty
of everyone to do everything pos
sible to prevent damage and de
struction to property,” Crenshaw’s
article said.

ary temperature of 51.8 degrees.
EXECUTIVE STATES
USE OF RADAR WILL
NOT END ACCIDENTS
The use of radar to prevent
railroad accidents is not prac
ticeable with any equipment no
'ar known to the radio industry,
according to W. P. Hilliard, ra
dio executive for one of Amer
ica 8 large companies.
In a statement released for
publication, Hilliard said opti
mistic forecasts of feature writ
ers and broadcasters in vis
ualizing the use, in the near
future, of radar sets which
would enable engineers to
see” a stalled train or other
obstruction on the tracks, are
presently, “just pipe dreams.”
The success obtained with
radar in locating airplanes and
ships has endowed it with
magical properties, in the pub
lic mind, which the facts sim- '
Ply do not bear out,” said Hil
liard.
In contrast with radar, Hil
liard thinks there will be a
general adoption of VHF radio
by railroads, for communica
tions between trains and dis
patchers, and engines and ca
booses of the same train.

GASTONIA RAILWAY
TRACKS HOLD KEY
City Must Have Them Re
moved To Get Large
Road Grant
GASTONIA, April 14—(IP)—Un
less Piedmont and Northern rail
way tracks are removed from
Franklin avenue here, Federal and
state highway officials have ad
vised city authorities that Sesmnd
avenue will be designated the Fed
eral-State route through Gastonia.
If the Second avenue route is
designated, according to Chief
Engineer Vance Baise of the state
highway commission, it would
mean a sharp reduction in a pro
posed $500,000 improvement pro
gram for Franklin avenue. “Far
less’’ than that amount would be
spent on the Second avenue route,
he said.
Visiting Federal and state high
way engineers termed the three
mile length of Franklin avenue,
the present main highway through
Gastonia, the “worst stretch” and
“one of the most heavily traveled”
in the entire southeast.
