Giles was in his home, not far from the rail line, when he was awakened late at night by a series of loud crashes. The sounds seemed to come from the direction of the railroad cutpff below the Frayser station. Stopping only to pull on trousers and shoes and get his flashlight, Giles ran toward the cutoff. There he found that an automobile had gone through a wooden viaduct. It had plunged down some sixty feet on to the tracks and lay across the rails with its three unconscious occupants inside. The impact had jammed the metal doors and made it impossible to extricate the three people. Knowing that the night express was due any minute, Giles started running down the tracks. "I could just picture that trainload of passengers crashing into that wrecked car," he said. "And then I heard the train whistle. "I must have run more than a half mile and my legs felt as though they were made of lead. Then, around the curve I saw the headlight of the express locomotive. f stopped there in thf middle of the tracks and began waving my flashlight. The batteries in it were fresh when I bought them and they threw a sharp* beam down the track. The instant the engineer saw my light he cut off his steam. The emergency brakes were scream- * ~ ^ v s s; Ms Giles ing as the express roared past it#. Then, down the tracks I saw fire streaming from under the bi# drive wheels. In a final effort, the engineer had thrown the locomotive into reverse." The express came to a stop within :Wy-feet of the battered automobile. Railroad officials said that if the train had struck the wrecked car. it would not only have killed the occupants but would have derailed the locomotive and possibly the rest of the train.

TH1 STEEL HKStyBTRY JS DOING ITS BIT :,i, tU>' If George Peck As a rule there isn't much glamour to statistics but a few facts about the Steel Industry should be of interest to every American at this time. Steel is without question the most vital commodity in our national defense program and therefore it is important to know how this industry is performing during the emergency. The present steel making capacity is eighteen per cent greater than it was in 1929 and forty per cent greater than in 1918. From the pre-war level of July, 1939, to mid-July, 1941, steel prices have increased only one per cent, compared with an average rise of almost seventeen * per cent in the United States Department of Labor's index of wholesale commodity prices during the same period and a thirty-five and one-half per cent rise in farm prices. During this two year period there was an increase of sixteen per cent in the hourly earnings of steel work- SLOCUM LAKE Mr. and Mrs. Earl Converse were callers at Waukegan last Thursday.

Since April, 1941, steel prices have been "froaen" by government order but prior to that time the industry of its own volition had maintained prices practically unchanged since the outbreak of war. Most certainly no charge of bring in any way responsible for price inflation can be levelled at the steel industry. To sum up: steel wages up sixteen per cent since 1939; taxes tripled during the past yeitr; materials used by the industry up sharply in price; and in spite of these extra costs of doing business, steel prices are up only one per cent since the war began. All of this has been accomplished while most other commodity prices surged upward. The steel industry has a right to feel proud of its contribution already made to the national defense program. However, it is not content to rest on its laurels. Construction of more steel capacity is under way and more is contemplated. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to the steel executives who so ably are directing the industry; to the steel workers who so efficiently are producing the steel; and to the steel stockholders who have furnished the money to maintain and •expand the industry; It is a glowing example of what can be accomplished by an American industry functioning under the American System of Free Enterprise -- Management, labor and capital each doing its bit.
