Part of this changqj in aenltmeot, he believes, has beSft due to the Informative statements published each month. - i In discussing the matter,, Mr* Downs reviews the subjects that have been treated in ,the monthly statements In elmple. nontechnical manner, and with the- deside to develop better understanding thru Informing the vublic about the railroads and Informing the about (to atrona’ n He says - that after three years this worts he is convinced that the pa tons understand •and-aprore of what the railroad Is trying to do.
