THE OLD JUDGE SAYS ••• A railroad's roadbed has a lot to do with travel comfort. A well-built roadbed does away with annoying, sleep-disturbing bumps ... like a boat breasting a choppy .I I sea. It gives you '\smooth sailing.'' ! GEORGE: "Yes, I certainly would like to hear why you call that an old fashioned idea, J udge." OLD J UDGE: "Glad to tell you, George. Until recently, a person known as an alcoholic was generally treated as a social outcast. Little if anything was done to understand him or help him. But, during the past few years, medical research and study has developed that alcoholics are really sick people ... that there is usually a deeprooted physical, social or emotional reason behind their behavior. Tha.t's why today so much is being done to help them by finding out and correcting the condition that leads them to excess." GEORGE: "How many folks are there like that, Judge?" OLD ]UDGE:"Well, according to scientific research, 95% of the people who drink, drink sensibly. 5% do so unwisely, at times. Included in that 5% is the small percentage of the sick people I'm talking about.'' GEORGE: "That certainly gives me a clearer picture. It's the most sensible approach I've ever heard on the subject.'' -- Thus, even the ballast used on the railroad's roadbed plays its part in efficient, 'round-the-clock transportation of troops and essential battle-line freight over Union Pacific's Strategic Middle Route, uniting the East with the Pacific Coast The ldnd of gravel used for roadbed ballast is an important factor_ Union Pacific uses a special, sturdy type of crushed granite which stands up particularly well under wartime's heavily loaded freight way can be assured by holding tight to the war bonds we now have ... and, as and passenger trains.
