Everything that it is possible to do has been done.to point up ways and means of avoiding accidents and_ to keep men safe and-healthy on their jobs. It is up to the workers to be alert and to observe the elementary rules of safety so that they will not only get through Safety Week without mishap but through the remainder of the year and the year after that. That should be every mill worker’s goal, not only for the sake of the company and his own job but for the sake of his family and his future, a senior background of knowledge and under: standing out of which they write.

And this newspaper is proud to have had four of its staff numbered among them. The Journal, from its early days, has remained courageously nonparti- san and independent. During World War I it battled pro-Germanism in a community of overwhelmingly Ger- man heritage; after World War II it aggressively fought the threat to Am- erican civil liberties implicit in Me- Carthyism, and in Senator McCarthy’s home state.

When the airline first started the Polar Service. in June, 1955, some writers termed the venture ‘ a:“million dollar gamble.” Mrs, Edhouse was attractive proof that the “gamble” payed off. To commemorate the event, the Airline presented the pretty housewife ‘from Wellington, N.Z., with flowers representing various countries at each CPA des- tihation point enroute.

All Aboard & G2 Mortimer Restaurants in some towns have already lifted the price of acup of coffee to 12 cents, and certain .of them are talking about 15 cents. But the average cup of res- taurant coffee: at any price Still tastes like swamp water. I hadn’t realized what an inferior grade of coffee the restaurants were unloading on their clients, until I enjoyed some real coffee in a railway - dining car. | The dining car charged 30 cents for a pot that held two cup of coffee, but it was worth every nickel. This rich, fresh- smelling beverage was so far ahead of the pale bilge of the restaurants that it didn't de- serve the same name. Next time the waiter came my way,I said: “This is the first decent coffee I’ve had for about a year.” “Glad you like it,” the waiter said. “What do the restaurants do to make théir coffeé so taste- less?” I asked. “It must take real hard work and planning, to drain all the Hfe out of the coffee like that.” “They just try to get too many cups out of a pound,” thé waiter safd. Ne muttered something to the chef, who was sitting at a table himself, the dining car belng almost empty.

One of the most popular Js a creek. When villages grow into towns, the ereeks have to fight to survive.

There is a tendency now to introduce the shiny, brittle, coffee-shop style of service to the railways. This may be more thrifty for the traveler: but if the old-style dining car should vanish as a result, rail- way travel will become less ex- citing and comfortable, by a long way. And where will a man be able to get a good cup of coffee then?
