According to the United States weather bureau it is not a definite period occurring regularly each autumn, and is not based on accurate meteorological data. Indian summer varies greatly in diuriation. It may occur once or several times during the fall and early winter, or it may not occur at all, and if it does it ,may last a day or two or several w’eeks. And in some years there' are more than one of these periods of hazy, tranquil days. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL ; j CENTRAL jj GEORGIA Ra„ilway post office cars on many short lines and branch linei in this territoiy have recently been discontinued by the U. S. Post Office Department. Mail pay is an important source of income to the railroads. The loss of this income in many instances threatens the continuance of railway service and makes probable the aban donment of these short lines and branch lines. No community welcomes curtailment of its mail service, or is pleased at the pro.-ipect of losing the railroads that serve it. The communities affected by this economy move have protected to the Post Office Department, and the reply to their protests has been that they must not exipect the Government to contribute to the support o.f the railroads, that if they wish to continue to re ceive railway service they must patronize the railroads with freight and passengers. That reply cannot be criticized because it is entirely justified from a business standpoint and taxpayers should not complain when a department of the Government acts on business principles and adopts measures of economy. It might, of course, be argued that tne Government subsidizes directly or indirectly such transportation agencies as barge lines, motor carriers and airways, and that to lie consistent it should also aid the railways. But the fact remains that it is the policy of the Post Office Department to curtail Railway Postal Service, that he Department points out what is unquestion- allytrue—ithe way to retain rail service is to use the •‘T'Tght and passenger facilities of the railroads, The handwriting on the wall reads “abandonment” to the smaller communities, “curtailmenit” to the larger communities, it tne present tendency continues. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. H. D. POLLARD, Receiver. Central of Georgia Railway. Savannah, Ga., October 19, 1937. ATTENTION FARMERS!
