(Herald-Review photos) fell Wabash Line To Be Tossed At Nipponese What is left of the old eighth district of the Wabash, about a miles of branch line from Beme-it to Sullivan, soon may be dropUd on the Japs in the form 0 bombs.

It is understood the re. maining portion of the branch a soon to be abandoned and all t-. s-itp puasiuic vwij ue salvaged fw war purposes. Of the local Wabash who were in the city Saturday none was able to say just rjj the status of the plan is such moves are handled er.tir through the general offices in St. Louis.

However the 30-dav notice. which the road must post in all ri the stations along the line invo'v. ed, have been up for quite som. time and at some points it wjjfs 1 eiregr been granted by the Illinois Cori merce commission although no as. nouncement to this effect haj been made public in Springfield.

The 22.8 miles stretch betuea Bement and Sullivan is part what for years was known as the old Effingham branch. It exter.d. ed from Bement south to Shurr, way, where it divided, one guiiiK lo ana me otner to Effingham. A few years ago permission nas secured to abandon that part the line from Stewardson south. Later, another request was ed to abandon from Sullivan a Stewardson.

On the remaining por. tion of the branch are Hammond, Lovington and Sullivan and one or two country station elevators. nt: ui diiiu Wlin tzevs main lines of the Wabash at Be-f ment. No Curtailment I Abandonment of the branci would not mean any curtailment I in passenger service for those sta. I tions since the Wabash has not I operated a passenger on the line 1 for years.

At present it runs i little turn-around local freight out I-of Decatur several days a week making the run from Decatur to. I Bement, then down on the branch! and back home the same nighi Hammond is on the B. O. and it 1 passenger service consists of the one round-trip-daily motor carl between Decatur and Indianapolis. Lovington has no passenger ser-f vice other than the Pennsylvania mixed train between Decatur 'and Terre Haute.

Sullivan, for some I time, has had passenger service! only on the C. and E. I. which now operates four trains througtl there daily, two in each direction! However, the C. and E.

I. now has application to remove two these trains. I It is generally understood th: moves of this kind now have the blessing of the authorities Washington who are scouring the country for every piece of sieel: scrap that can be dug up. Quite a number of roads have been giv-j; en permission to abandon umng portant branch lines so that rail i bridges and materials of alf kinds can be salvaged for the effort. Rail Is Old On the 8th district the scrap! pile will receive a great variation of old time light rail, some of it dating away back into the last century, and some of it weighing only about 45 cr 50 pounds to the yard.

Probably train and en-i ginemen will not object to the posed abandonment as that is ore assignment of run the crews fcve not liked and most of them "duck" a turn down on that stretch whenever possible. It be-1 came necessary to adopt certaii, rules to force men to take turn. I This will be almost the last of what was one time intended an important north and south from Chicago to the southland. It was originally known as Chicago and Paducah when p'Jf chased by the Wabash. Only other portion of that original road rH maining is the branch out Streator to Fairbury.

Heavy Traffic The Wabash had to operate passenger tram No. 3 out oi iJ! edo and Detroit Friday night an. into St. Louis Saturday mornir-S in two sections because of tie heavy passenger travel. The firS section of 11 cars carried the Pi 4 man and other passenger carl while the second section had tW mail and express.

i Several factors enter into crowded condition right at Fr0? ent. One, of course, is the he? increase in government travp! and men in ss vice on furloughs. In addition this it is the close of the tion period and the beginning school period and a triple end holidav for many. Local ticket offices trying 1 F' reservations Friday evening out 0 Chicago for the East were that every train leaving ChiWP up to next Tuesday night booked to full capacity and i more reservations could be laj except in cases where some P- son might cancel a Nicknames Stick How tight a nickname can s1- until the bearer almost loses correct identitv is shown case of two recent reports LdS.tr VI let nil 1 1 i Peoria Women Hitch Hikers Hurt in Crash Two Peoria women, hitch hikers who were picked up near the war plants at Illiopolis, are in a serious condition in St. Mary's hospital today, suffering injuries received at 3:15 p.

m. yesterday when the truck in which they were riding crashed into a guard rail near the Stevens creek bridge and overturned. The two gave their names as Violet Kline, 31, of 420 East Seventh street, Peoria, and Dorothy Silvest, 419 New street, Peoria. Their condition was described today as "serious, but improved." Thrown 50 Feet The Kline woman, who at first refused to give her name, has been unconscious considerable of the time since the accident. She was thrown 50 feet through the air as the truck somersaulted over the guard rail and alighted upside down.

She received head and body injuries and was suffering from shock and possible internal injuries. Her companion, Miss Silvest. also is suffering from shock and cuts about the legs and body. She was unable to tell state police how the accident occurred and also said she did not know the last name of her girl friend. Driver Escapes Injury State police investigated the accident.

Patrolman Roy Carr and William Moran, state license investigator, said the truck had just come down Snake Hill, coming toward Decatur and had crossed the bridge. Police were told that one of the girls grabbed the arm of the driver, John Shaughnessey, 53, of Springfield in an attempt to draw his attention. Shaughnessey said that was the last he remembered until the truck stopped on its back after overturning. He escaped injury. Stop To Inspect Tires Questioned by officers, Shaughnessey said that he was a driver for the Fisher Grocery out of Springfield, and was bringing a supply of fruits, vegetables and groceries to Decatur for distribution.

Shaughnessey said he stopped his truck at Illiopolis and inspected his tires, thinking that one of them felt like it was down. He added that the girls were walking along the highway, and asked to ride toward Decatur with him. They said they were on their way to Champaign. He consented but said that after they got in his truck one of them appeared intoxicated and kept asking him to buy her a drink. He refused and w-as coming into Decatur when the accident occurred.

Shaughnessey said he was travelling about 35 miles per hour just before the accident occurred, according to state police. "The girl grabbed my arm and the next thing I knew the truck had crashed into the rail and had turned over," he told officers. 45 More Volunteer For War Fund Drive Arthur Metzler, chairman of the United War fund campaign, announced today that 45 more volunteer workers for the campaign have signed up, making a total of 206 volunteers in Decatur and Macon county.

War Fund Set At $220,620 The United War Fund goal of $220,620, voted upon by the executive board yesterday, includes all war appeals in Macon county with the exception of the Red Cross, which will raise its funds later in a separate drive.

B. B. Burns, chairman, announced today. The drive will begin Oct. 19 and continue through Oct.

26. The budget is divided into 29 al locations for individual agencies and operating expenses. Thirteen of the group are member agencies of the Community Chest, which is tself an agency in the war fund. Mr. Burns, said.

The organization is making pro visions for additional appeals which may develop during the year by setting up an unallocated reserve of $30,260. Funds Included In the following list the Commun ity Chest agencies are listed indi vidually but are designated by asterisks as members of the chest. Budgets of the Community Chest agencies total $121,856. The budget includes: Boys Opportunity Home 6.058 Boy Scouts 8,770 British War Relief Society, Inc. 5.320 Community Chest Year-' Round Administration Planning and Distribution 4.915 Decatur Day Nursery 5.340 Decatur Macon Co.

Orlo F.

King, executive secretary of both the Chest and war fund, pointed out. Because word has been received here from the National Information bureau that the total goal of five million dollars for the Navy Relief society has been raised in full and an additional three million will probably ie raised when final payments are received from committees and war chests, the society was not included in the local campaign, Mr. King explained. Monthly Distribution An operating agreement and policies governing the relationship between the United War Fund and the participating organizations was also adopted at the meeting yesterday. According to the contract the United War Fund will undertake to raise the amount mutually agreed upon, and about the tenth of each month, the war fund will remit the proportionate share of collections received during the preceding month, after proper deductions for expenses, etc.

are made. Only Credited Campaign Participating organizations will recognize and designate the United War Fund as the sole fund-raising representative in Macon county, the agreement states. The organizations will supply periodic service and financial reports to the war fund. They will also supply the fund with a list of any Macon county individual or corporate givers, together with amounts contributed directly to the headquarters of the participating organizations. These contributions will be credited to the war fund allocations, including Decatur and Macon county's share of contributions received directlv I by participating agencies from na tional corporations with branches in Macon county.

In jerking the fishhook from the fish's mouth it flew into his own. BLACKOUT RECORD At a blackout test in the Decatur and Macon County hospital area this week, the nurses' home was blacked out in ten seconds.

General Fund To Be Boosted The county government's general fund budget will be approximately S30.000 higher this year, according to tentative budget figures being prepared for action in the annual meeting of the board of supervisors next week. General fund appropriations for the 1942-43 fiscal year, still subject to change, have been fixed at $237,000. Last year the general fund budget was $205,000. Increased sal ary appropriations, additional funds for dependent children, an appropriation for civilian defense, and another appropriation for permanent registration have brought about the budget increase. According to present plans, the fi nance and fees and salaries com mittees will ask the county board to increase most of the county sal aries $10 a month above salary appropriations of last year.

In most cases the $10 raise actually will amount to an immediate increase of S5 since the board approved earlier S5 increases for a majority of the employes in June. The proposed salary boosts will include the county treasurer, county clerk and sheriff. Other county officers can not be increased this year because the statute provides that the pay of elected officers can only be increased in years that the specific offices are open for election. The county committeemen are considering recommending an appropriation of about $5,000 for civilian defense. WaltSpilman In Australia J.

Walter Spilman, former district supervisor of recreation for the Works Projects administration in Decatur, has arrived in Australia with a contingent of 10 American Red Cross recreation directors to provide recreational activities for the fighting forces there.

In the rural board Schools Boost Prices on Food Wartime increases in the cost of food and labor have made it necessary for school cafeteria officials to raise prices on most of the dishes served at cafeterias in the four Decatur junior high schools and Decatur high school, Mrs. Myrtle Allen, supervisor of the cafeterias, announced yesterday. Because many of the cafeteria's employes last year have resigned to accept jobs at cafeterias in ordnance plants, the school cafeterias have been forced to raise the pay rate for cafeteria help. An expected increase in the use of the cafeterias with an increase in population in Decatur and with better financial conditions has made it also necessary to employ 20 per cent more help than last year, she added.

The popular 10 cent luncheon plate has been replaced by a 15 cent luncheon plate which carry much the same menus, Mrs. Allen said. These menus will contain such dishes as meat sandwiches, carrots and slaw and broiled potatoes, chopped beef, bread and butter sandwiches and jello. Such items as mashed potatoes, chili, soups, hamburgers and milk. best sellers of the single items offered daily on the menus, will remain at five cents so that pupils with little to spend will be able to buy filling foods, Mrs.

Allen said. All meat servings will be increased from eight to 12 cents apiece and vegetables, salads and desserts from five to seven cents. Sandwiches also will be more expensive by two cents and will sell at seven cents a piece. As chocolate is becoming scarce and expensive, milkshakes will be raised to seven cents, Mrs. Allen added.

m. The meeting was in charge of Russell Carter, chief air raid warden for the county, who distributed air raid warden cards to the war aens. inese cards win appear in the homes of wardens at 9 o'clock this morning, and it was said that all those who failed to attend the meeting should secure them at once. i anure or a card to appear in some window of a block this morning will mean that that block is not protected and the residents of that block should see to it at once that a warden is George Read, commander of the local civilian defense corps, said last night. Weakness of System Although Mr.

Read congratulated those who attended the meeting for their faithfulness, he pointed out that the weakness of the system would result from those who failed to attend the meeting, and urged those absent to equip themselves with the proper information to fill their jobs at once. It was pointed out that there are four zones in the county which are divided into 43 precincts, 275 sectors and 1800 blocks, and that the success on the blackout test rests largely with the wardens who see that lights are properly extinguished in their respective working areas. No Police Power I. was brought out particularly in last night's meeting that air raid wardens do noy have police powers and are not allowed to carry guns, but that if they needed help tc carry out their orders they only have to call police, who will rush to the scene and arrest anyone who appears unreasonable. Wardens were told last night that only the block wardens roam their blocks seeking out persons who violate the blacKout orders.

Instructions were given that names ancf addresses of any person wno fails to completely blackout their homes should be secured by the wardens. Provisions of the recently passed emergency city ordinance, providing fines for persons who failed to regard blackout orders, were explained to the wardens in their meeting last night. still being handled at the Red Cross office in the Linxweiler building.
