WORTH SEEING A backwoodsman heard that the job of watchman at a single-line railroad crossing was vacant. "You'll have to undergo a strict examination," the man in charge said when he applied for the job. "Ask me anything 1" said the applicant. "All right. Supposing you are at the crossing and two trains are coming along from opposite directions, what would you do?" "I'd blow my whistle.** "Supposing your whistle was out of order?" "I'd always wear a red shirt, and I'd take it off and flag the trains." "Let's say this happened at night." "Then I'd swing my lantern." "But suppose you had no oil for your lantern." "In that case I'd call-my-sister." "Your sister? What for?" "I'd just say to her: 'Come on down, sis, and see the goldarndest wreck you ever saw in all your life!' M present-day railroad coaches show that cushions are anywhere from sixteen to twenty-one inches from the floor.' Many of the other dimensions of coach seats also vary depending on design and construction of coach seats. The results of the tabulations will be made available to all American railroads so that thfty, in their postwar plans, may be in a better position to "fit seats to the, public instead of attempting to make the public fit the seats," said Dr. Hooton.

This all-out campaign has been announced by Carl J. Jaeger, manager of the WMC's United States Employment Service office at 213 Water Street, Waukegan, who has just returned from a four-day training program in veteran services at Sterling, Illinois. The intensive training session at Sterling, the fourth in a state-wide program to train USES staff in veteran problems, was attended by local office managers and veteran employment representatives from USES offices in eleven northern Illinois communities. Attending with Manager Jaeger, as veteran employment representatives from Lake and McHenry counties were Mary Wiedow, veteran employment representative for the local office and William Dempster, veteran employment representative for Great Lakes naval training station.
