This year, Northern Pacific was signally honored byreceiving the Harriman Gold Medal Award for safety. . . thehighest safety award any railroad can receive.

I am extremely proud that our railroad merited thisdistinction. The credit, however, belongs to all NP em-ployees. Iwould like to express my sincere thanks to youfor cooperating so effectively on behalf of safety.

By the time our next issue of the Telltale is off thepress, the presidential election will be over. Let me urgeyou, now, to exercise your right to vote by going to the pollsNovember 3. Voting is a privilege we must never take forgranted.

Few people realize the extent of the modernizationprogram that has been going on within the railroad industrysince the end of World War II. Rex H. Manion, recentlyelected vice president, "Operations and Maintenance Depart-ment, Association of American Railroads, pointed it up aptlyin a speech, September 16, before the Ohio Valley Transpor-tation Advisory Board. I-le said, “The railroads have em-barked upon an extensive program of modernizing equipment,facilities, communications, marketing, sales and pricing. "

He reported that capital spending in 1964 will equal oreven exceed the railroads‘ previous annual record outlay of$1. 46 billion in 3951. At this rate, he said that new invest-ment in plant and equipment will raise the postwar modern-ization program to nearly $20 billion by the end of 1964. Hepointed out that if the national wconomy maintains its presentrate, railroad capital improvernents should continue at astrong and steady pace into ?“6‘3.

Northern Pacific has actively carried on for manyyears a progressive program of modernization. I-JP plans for1965 are now under study and consideration. At the presenttime it appears that expenditures for roadway improvementand new equipment in 1965 will equal the outlays of 1964.

Freight, company property, mail, baggage, expressand personal property which may be lost or stolen re-presents a steady drain on the company's treasury. It isas much the duty of the special agents department torecover as much as possible of such material as it is toprevent its being lost, stolen or damaged in the firstplace. Total recoveries of all items in 1963 came to$143,227; and this represents an increase of 33 per centover the total recovered the previous year. Since 1950,when Chief jacobson was appointed to his post and be-gan to keep records, the grand total of recoveries is$1 337,789.75. But there is another way in which theI
