RAILWAY WAGONS AND TARPAULINS SPEED THEM ON THEIR WAR WORK Raw materials, food and equipment for the Fighting Forces and for our own Industrial Front must be moved smoothly and uninterruptedly to and from factories, farms and ships. This is the railways’ job. It’s a big job and i,t’s getting bigger and bigger all the time. Every railway wagon and every tarpaulin must work non-stop. All-out co-operation is essential; everyone— staff, consignors and consignees—must realize that half-help won’t do. It’s hundred per cent practical co-operation that’s needed.
