In Memoriam
In loving memory of my wife and
our mother, Mrs. Odat Kempf, who
passed away three years ago, Octo
ber 24, 1944.
No one heard the footsteps
Of the angel drawing near
Who took from earth to heaven
The one we loved so dear.
No one knowrs the silent heartaches
Only we who know can tell
Of the grief that’s borne in silence
For the one we loved so w’ell.
Sadly missed by her husband and
daughters, Harold, Susanna, and
Jean
Ann Kempf.

our costs have gone up, too!
SOME PEOPLE get along under higher
prices by using less or doing without. Some
have more income to help meet higher costs.
All can adjust outgo to income, to a large
extent.
But a railroad cannot skimp or do with
out and still provide good, efficient and safe
service—adequate to the needs and desires
of the public.
The chart at left shows why the Eastern
Railroads have had to ask for an increase in
freight rates. The simple reason is that the
increases allowed since 1939 are nowhere
near enough to meet today’s costs. The rev-
