C. & Y. railroad showed a gross income of $3,473,437 in 1942. The railroad at the present time has 22 coal burning locomotives, one Deisel engine, 468 freight cars, 244 coal hoppers, 40 stock cars. There are 638 full time workers on the pay roll In this country- there are a total of 742 different railroad lines. The A. C. & Y. really consists of two lines, the A. C. & Y. and the Northern Ohio railroad. Attempt is being made at the present time to consolidate the two lines, the speaker said. In the country at the present time are 42,000 locomotives, with practically all of them engaged in some type of war tiansportation. A locomotive weighs 135 tons without the tender. It costs from $100,000 to $200,000. The fire box of the modern locomotive is 20 by 6’2 feet in size and is large enough to hold an automobile with room to spare. A locomotive travels about nine miles on one ton of coal. Federal law requires a locomotive to have a new boiler installs! every seven years. In addition there are other changes which are made. The fed eral inspectors ai checking on the condition of locomotives constantly. Sometimes the trains are stopped in Bluffton for fedei inspection, the speaker pointed out. Freight cars are built to standard specifications becau they must be interchangeable the various roads. This is done in order to make repairs easy. For example an A. C. & Y. car routed to California could be repaired out there in case of a breakdown. The average freight car has a capacity of about 50 tons. Railroads use fifty million wooden cross ties per year. As yet no satis factory substitute for the wooden tie has been found. The rails are 4 feet and 8V2 inches apart which the railroad men refer to as standard gauge. Chicago is the largest railroad cen ter in the world with more than 8,000 miles of track in that city alone. The longest line in the coun try is Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe which has 13,400 miles of track I but the biggest line in the country is the Pennsylvania railroad which has 24,000 miles of trdek. A detailed accounting system is necessary to keep a record of the cars of the home railroad as well as the cars of other lines operating on the home line. As soon as a car from another railroad comes on the line, the agent sends the informa tion to the headquarters. Rental of one dollar per day is paid the other line. Many advancements have been in railroading and this great industry has shown itself equal to the gigan tic task of war transportation, the speaker said in conclusion. Visits African Mis sions On Scooter (Continued from page 1) possible with any other form of mechanical transportation and the scooter travels with sufficient speed to enable efficient moving about from tribe to tribe. She tells of visiting a tribe which lived in a forest of tall’ mahogany trees. The village huts were built so closely together that a pedestrian had to “walk sideways” to pass thru them. The ebony natives wear no clothing—“not even a leaf”! Miss Haas stales in her letter that she met a couple coming thru the woods. The woman was “dressed up” wearing many beads and bangles and she carried an umbrella. Her guide saluted them as being married. When asked how he knew the cou ple was married the guide informed Miss Haas that there was one um brella in the village and that if the bride is well-thought-of, the bride groom can borrow the umbrella for her to carry a few days in order to proclaim her married status. She tells of following a dry sea son motor road where the grass was ten feet high. It was in the ele phant country and a herd of 75 ma ture elephants is in that section of country. They make broad paths in the tall grass and feed on nuts from the palm trees. If the tree is too high for the elephant the animal pushes it over. The elephants have been known to push over native huts in the vil lages, Miss Haas stated. She spoke considerably in her let ter of the peaceful ways of most of the tribes and that the natives get along with each other. About the only noises one hears in this part of the African continent are the noises of nature—the rushing wind, the calls of wild animals and birds and the gentle noises of moving streams. Miss Haas is a member of the St. John Mennonite church and is a mis sionary under the Mennonite Board of Foreign Missions.

Last year the re-surfacing pro gram in the township was dropped because of inability to obtain ma terials. Two years ago between seven and eight miles of tow-nship roads were hard-surfaced. In the entire township there are 25 to 30 miles of roads that are not hard-surfaced, trustees said. As a further indication of the bad condition of township roads the county commissioners have placed load limits on county roads. The lim its became effective Monday and they involve a total reduction of 35 per cent. “The roads are soft and bad and heavy loads are ruining them”, one of the commissioners pointed out. “The winter has been of a nature unusually severe on the roads and we cannot see them completely brok en up.” County Engineer Hobert Mumaugh is operating his department with a half force and is rigidly limited on materials. Only very important roads which show severe damage can be repaired, it was indicated. All county roads will be posted with load limits and those limits will be enforced, the commissioners and engineer warned. Rationed Foods!
