S. ATKEY A. L. COLQUIf 117; Editor ` Plant Manager THURSDAY, APRIL :15, 1948 DOLLARS ARE BULLETS If you had to single out one major development in public thinking over the last 25 years, it would be this: thie realization that information, properly ap• plied, can be as important as the first punch in a prize-fight or the first shot in a war. One scientific tact, known to millions, is more ire - portant than a million scientific facts knows; only to a few. That is one of the main bases behind the member - Ship drive of the ()madden Cancer Satiety, which runs this year' all through Apvitt. The Society knows that in Cancer research every dogged step forward pays off to its fullest extent only if it is relayed to the public rapidly and effic- iently. If you,.or your neighbor, or the man across the street know enough about cancer and its symptoms to help doctors get to it early, the reward is itn terms of laves. In fact, all progress in cancer research so far, has its great- est effect ONLY when the fruits of that progress can be applied before the insane body -cell growth whish is cancer has stretched its fearsome fingers so far that it can't be Plaited. The Canadian Cancer Society wants you to be better informed about Cancer, because it has been proven that such information can save lives. A member ship con!trybut- ion;to the Society will bring'you that information regularly. It will he p, also, to, provide treatment and ascot amodation for canker patients who can'.t afford to pay for the service themselves. The Society has only one source of support -- yourmembership fees. Dollars are bullets in this war ag- ainst Cancer. This is a chance to fire a shot in support of a great human cause. . One dollar memberships may be sent to the nearest kcal 'branch of the Canadian Cancer Society or direct to Ontario Headquarters, P. O. Box 459, Toronto 1. 0 0 © ,.;:.i,; t' RAILWAYS REFLECT THE TIMES ast year the Canadian National Railways handled the heaviest volume of peacetime traffic in '!their history and their freight tonnage was even greater than that of any of the busiest years of'the war, 'acteording to R. C. Vaughan, C. M. ("x,., chairman and president, whose annual report for the beard of directors was tabled in the House of Commons this week by Hon. Lionel Chewier, Min- ister of Transport. The statistics for 1947 again demon- strated, he said, "the magnitude of the work carried on year after year for the people of Canada by the System in all its branches and its importance as a primary factor in the nat- ional economy." The unprecedented load of freight — , 86,221,279 Tons — was nearly double the tonnage of 1939. Handli:,;-' it was made possible in spite of the continent -wide shordage Of car equipment because of close attention to operating performance and the co-operation of shippers. Maximum loading requirements introduced :during the war were con- tinued. Gross 'and net train loadings, the average car load and freight car miles per day were improved as compared with 1946 or any year before 'the war. While there was a reduction i'n passengertraffic as a whole, Mr. Vaughan noted an increase in holiday travel and said that the Railway "did its part in promoting the , tourist industry and took full advantage to procure its full share of this increasing business." © 0 0 RAILWAY VOL..UME AND EARNINGS One of Canada's.two great railway •systems •— the Canadian Pacific —has just issued its annual report, for 1947. It is a very comprehensive report, dealing with ,all the facts of the Company's operations last year. A perusal indicates the ouitstanding fact that while the volume of traffic on the Canadian Pacific established a peacetime record, net earnings from, railway, operations were "'again markedly inadequate" and the final dividend decllaration of ,three per cent was made possible "only by income from sources other than railway operations". The increase in gross earnings last year "was almost wholly offset by rising coats; and the ratio of net to gross earnings remained practically the same as in 1946 when an all-time low was reached," the report ,sand. Factors contributing to the record traffic volume last year were "tele condition of almost full employment in Canada; the backlog of need for coa:etruction materials . and durable consumption ,goads; special] efforts to move grain and flour to ocean ports for export; heavy imports in manly categories from the United States; ,and record exports of wood pulp and newsprint paper to that country." A calm appraisal of the situation nliight see some justification for the increase of 21 per cent in freight rates granted by the Board of Transport Commissioners last week -the first in a quarter o!f a century! 0 © a EDITORIAL, COMMENT Thought for To -day Bil2ioms of dollars were spent during the war to find ways to kill and destroy; many millions are needed to win the war against eameer. 000 • Perhaps the Ontario Depair tMent of HigliwayS ge_nerai ly kind to Clinton—might do' sorndthiiag about ,the swirling ,dust that blowsin every doorway on the, main street during dry weather!!
