Our re-organization meeting of the Frisco Traffic Club, held April 5 , 7:3U p. m. in Uhe passenger depot, was a huge success. The attendance regis- tered wes 118. Some of the Frisco bovs came from Okeene. Drummond. La-mont, Covington, and ' many other outside points to meet wlth us. We a r e gla& #to have them any time. A variety of ta lks were heard. Miss Martha Moore, especi,ally, gave some interesting thoughts. Then, there was her reading, "The Rooster and the Lit t le Black Hen" to climax her talk. Miss Moore's lidttie readinlg j u ~ t added fuel to the flames, a s we s.ometimes say, and our Western division ora tors were not to be ou,tdone. Mr. Fisher told us about the "Old Grey M,pre," also mentioned s0mebhin.g about s t ru t~t ing our stuff." He did not say, but i t is believed there was a turkey gobler mixed up in the deal somewhere. Mr. Rudd gave us some excellent pointers on "team work" in his s tory o.f the Ox and the Jackass. Conductor Ber t Irwin won the abtendance prize, a lawn chair. Soliciting of business for the Fr,isco will n.ot be so tough for Mr. Irwin. Two more meetings of the clusb will be held and durin,g these meet- ings the re-organizing of rhe clu,b will be completed and plans perfected for the solicimtation of business for t'he Drisco. We a r e expecting a la rger a t - tendance a t our next meetlng.

Had occasion to visi t in the train yards wi th one of tlhe oar insgect'ors and i t was impossi~ble to pass up the ca r inspectors' qu.arrters, which I am sure a r e among the neatest and best kept build,ings on the railrond. Ma- terial of all kinds is neatly placed in separate bins and the bins a r e iwbeled. There is a rack built for triple valves and it is about a s neat and tidy a s any pl.ace could be kept f o r the purpose fo r which it is intended.

This brought my attentlon to the point art which I asked quite a few questions with reference to inspecation, etc., and I learned from some of my questions .that one of our' inspeotore. 0. S. Marshall, in the nas t sixty bays has caught somebhing like 12 or 1 4 broken arch bars. a s well a s some 4 o r 5 cracked wheels which. in mv opin~on. certainly speaks meli for thk inspect~on force in the Mom~phis Term- inal, and particularly Mr. Marshall. All of the o ther men a re performing their dutles well, too, a s Lche past perform- ance of haudlinc inbound and outbound trains speaks c e l l for all.

There is a mighty nice program In effect in the steel car vard. Thev a re workiug quite a few men and a r e t u rn - ing out about 4 cars a Bay, which a re receiving general repairs.

Also had conversation with Messrs. Lutz and Wmare and they advised tha t there was some miabtv good work be- ing turned off of - thk - ~ e g a i r track, which makes us all feel mighty ,good, nnd do hone bhat the aood work will keep u p akd our prog%ms will con- tinue.

We a r e mlahtv e lad to (have A. 0. Proctor back %t woi-k a f t e r being con- fined to the hospital in 'St. Louis. and we hope his good health will con(tinue.

41so glad to see C. W. Klm~brouph back on the job af ter being off accoullt illness.

W e feel tha t the depression Is really over since we have now received all of our 10% wage deduction back, and we're all hopin~g tha t it will be many a year before our pay will be cut again.

Mexsrs. H. D. Warren and I-loward Pickens have spent considerable t ime a t Yale recenltlv in connection will1 bhe hew organizatibn ,and from L'he interest being shown believe Tale will be 100%.

E.-F. Tuck seemed to have t h e jitters about the mlddle of April and on in- cluirinrr learned tha t Mrs. Tuck and ~ k i p p f w e r e visi t ing relatives i n Texas.

3 1 ~ s . M. L. Shick was a renresenta- tive from one of the local* Eastern Star Chapters a t a Convention in Nash- ville recently.

Seems l ike old times to have Messrs. J. ?I. Haley and "Red" Huff with us agaln. 'Johnnie was off recovering from an operation and "Red" on ac- count of h is hand. Hone both a r e fullv recovered.

H. E. Moore is still off account ill- ness. Hurry up and get well and come back, Moore.

I t was recently necessary for Henry T,hrelfall ,to spend some time in Amory where the was called accountt illness of h i s mother. We wish fmor her a speedy recovery.

Certainly glad J. J. Drashbman made a tr ip to the St. Louis hospital and re- turned without having an operation. H e says being there a week w'as plenty.

T. C. Shaw returned to t h e St. Louis hospital for a check-up and re~ports the doctors advise 'he is ge t t ing along fine.

Did you notlce the broad smile Wm. A. Lewis has been wearing recently? It's because the is "grandpa". A daugh- ter, named Beverly Jean, w,as born on February 27th to Mr. and Mrs. 1%'. D. R,ay. Mrs. Ray will be remembered a s AIiss Florence Lewis. L. J. Orman made a trIp to Virginia

recen!tly, due to the serious illness of .hds mother-in-law. Hope she is well on the road to recovery by this tiine.

T. 0. CHAPMAN, Reporter - James Bur t has had a small crew of

acetylene cutters a n d scrap ~ 0 r k e r S a t the switch tracks, near the West Shop the past month, clearing up some ma! terial for salvage.

Our sympathy is extended to James Camp and relatives, in the death of his father, George Crtml,, which oc- curred a t his home in Springfleld, the lratter part of Maroli.

Our superintendent, L. f. Leysaht, Is a memiber of the "Champion" pinochle club of t3pringfield. He has been hav- ing a score somewhat below average for some tlme past, and his friends a r e now elated t o know tha t his luck has turned, and he 'has katelv ranked one of t h e highest scores o f - any member of the clu'b.

During the later ,part of Ma.rch, Charley Mullen w,as sent to the Rrisco Hospital a t St. Louis for trea:tmen,t. W e have (been informed tha t .he under- went a n ope ra t~on there. and just re- cently has been releascd so he could convalesce a t home in Springfleld. We understand he is r e o o v e r i n ~ satisfac- torily and hope his improv'ment con- tinues rapldly.

We know that 4he Frisco has manv ,men in thelr employmenr w,ho a re re= sourceful, and have genius of most every -trade and talent. As definite proof of this statement we have work- ing among us. Alfred Lahman, a labor- er, who has made his own shoes and wears them tvi.th satisfied conlfort. They a r e unique in material and con- struction. They a re ,also proven to be very durable. It' is probable tha t shoe m.aking may :become a "hobby" with him, a s he has h,ad severill fellow em- pboyes a sk him regarding the possi- bility of having him to make them a pair.

There has nassed from our midst a veteran w h o k we all regret to see go; Louis A. Cordz, machinist helper, who died in the Frisco Hoxnital a t St. Louis. April first, a f ter a short illness. ~e was buried in M,nple Pa rk Cemetery in Springfleld, beside his wife ,and sons. He was of Danish decent, having been born in Rintgstedt, Denmark, and came to -4~merica when 'he was ten years of age. He worked a t St. Johns, Nova Scotia, for awhile and la ter a t Norfolk, Va. When he was still a young man he became engaged in the lumber in- dustry in Mississippi with 'his brother, kater moving t o ,soukhern Missouri. There they engaged in the same in- dustry 111 Shannon a n d Douglas Counties. They were so engaged when the Gulf R. R. was built f rom Spring- field .to Memphis. H e had many varied experiences, and shipped lumber to S ~ r i n E f i d d and Other marke t s bv ox t&m< .before the railroads came.- 4 s ti:me developed, he and his brother nurchased a small locomotive and mil- way logging cars, and operated them over several miles of road which they built into the Ozarks timber country f rom 'the main line. dMr. Cordz was the engineer, and he never forgot the experience acquired on this job, a s he was the mechanic. a s well a s the en- glneer. The engine was fired with wood in those days he sald.

He was employed a t the rectamation pbant for the past eleven years. Pall hearers from the reclamation plant were: William Read. John Carnahan. Bar1 Goudh, ~alcomsl; Doran, r ree em an Wasson and Arthur Stewart;
