THAYER, MO. Believing that a greater familiar- 'ity with the system would be an asset to its members, both in per- forming their daily duties and in their solicitation work, the Frisco Employes' Club of Thayer, Mo., provided an opportunity for Thay- er employes as well as employes from Jonesboro and Willow Springs to become familiar with a large portion of the lines by arranging an employe excursion to Pensacola, Fla. This trip was begun on the evening of May 16 when the happy group of 50 excursionists entrained at Thayer in a special pullman.

TRAINS 98.3% ON TIME Frisco Booth at Sportsmen's Show Northern Division Operated 1,080 I Passenger Trains 99.1% On Time During April HE on-time p e r f o r m a n c e of Frisco Lines passenger trains, Twhich is exenlplified in the rec- ord for the system during the month o' April, is one of the many features which commend the Frisco to trav- elers who demand the best in trans- portation. During April the 4,754 trains operated on the Frisco system were 98.3 per cent 011 time, the month- ly report on this subject, issued by the office of the general manager, Spring- field, Mo., reveals. The performance maintained on Texas Lines during the month of April is especially noteworthy. The 1SO trains operated there were 99.4 per cent on time, all increase of .6 per cent over the record made there during April of last year when the same number of traius were operated. During April, 1928, a total of 240 trains was operated on Texas Lines and they were 95.4 per cent on time. Northern division had the best record of any of the Frisco divisions. A total of 1,050 trains mere operated there and they were 99.1 per cent on time. This is an improvement over the record of 1,078 trains, operated 96.6 per cent on time, which was made there during the previous April and a slightly higher per cent than was recorded for this division during April, 1928, when 1.290 trains were operated 99.0 per cent on time. River division is ranked second in the report with 824 trains opernted 99.0 per cent on time.
