L. Huggins. Jr.. editor of Frisca ~VIagazine, to provide ample space for all Frisco association news. While we have always enjoyed reading the Frisco Employes' A4ag- o-irre, we hope that the reports from our local correspondents at the various shops on the Lines may increase the personal interest, and may add to the general informa tion of our progress and success to all concerned. The operation of the Frisco railroad is founded upon co-opera- tion, and we believe that co-op- eration is big enough to include every member of the Frisco fam- ily. While many of us are younger members of our family, we do not feel that our loyalty and sincere co-operation can be questioned. We are proud of the success which is crowning our united efforts as a railroad, and hope that our little social visits, through the medium of our Frisco Encployes' magazine may be the means of promoting a closer relationship among all con- HREE HUNDRED supervisors, was a parody on "Baby Face," sung cerned.
