KELLOGG GROUP As this issue of The Frisco Employes' Magazine reaches the 30,000 members of our far-flung Frisco Family, 1929 recedes into history and 1930, with its problems and joys confronts us. As the new year dawns, it is again my privilege to send heartiest greetings and best wishes to the 30,000 workers of this company, who have valiantly and intelligently helped make 1929 a successful year ,for Frisco Lines. Several important accomplishments in which employes and manage- ment have joined hands come to my mind in reviewing our record for 1929. Chief among them is the splendid manner in which Frisco em- ployes have given of their time and effort in soliciting traffic for their railroad. The results from this endeavor, as reported through the var- ious employes' clubs, has amazed and delighted us all and it is my earnest hope that this activity will continue during 1930. This spirit of friend- liness, of which traffic solicitation is only one manifestation, makes me proud to head so fine an organization. In looking forward into 1930, am satisfied that never before in its long history was Frisco Lines so well-equipped to serve the public. The spirit of our personnel is at the highest point in its history. We have more and better power, heavier steel, better roadbed and more cars than ever before. Our budget for the year, $24,127,177, is the largest amount ever appropriated in a single year by this railroad, and $12,000,000 of it is going for more locomotives, cars and rail to supplement our present equipment. And so we are entering 1930 in excellent condition, with a good year behind us and a better one ahead, and the satisfying knowledge that our army of employes will continue to give us the whole-hearted co- operation and support which we value so highly. To you and yours I sincerely wish the happiest and most prosperous New Year possible. Yours very truly, FRISCO TO SPEND $24,Im27,177IN 1930

"Biggest Fish" Takes Frisco Trip 11,000 SEE EXHIBIT CAR Tour of 3,126 Miles Completed Dec. 3-Largest Attendance at Sapulpa, Okla. HE final report on the tour of the Frisco Lines exhibit car, Twhich was completed December 3, is not only a report on a successful exhibit tour but also on the excel- lency of Frisco handling under varied conditions, as the bare facts alone of the handling of this car attest. The car completed its 3,126.6 mile itinerary having followed its schedule on every move and having moved over the entire route without a single breakage or dislodgement of the 600 pieces of glassware and fragile ex- hibits, despite the fact that they could not have the protection of or- dinary packing, and despite the fact the car moved in practically every kind of equipment, even in a 60-car freight train. An average of 25 persons an hour visited the car during the 432 hours it was open to the public, a total of 10,949. Seventy-two lectures were given on the car. Thirty-four of these were delivered to adults, twenty-nine to school children and nine lectures were delivered to RO- tary and other clubs.

HUMAN ENGINEERING

ODAY the achievements of the engineers are Tamong the wonders of the world. This, how- ever, does not mean engineering in the mechanical sense alone. The people who labor, the employes in industry, are human beings full of sentiments, hopes, fears, prejudices and aspirations. Hence the funda- mental problem of all industry is to deal with the human elements in such a' way that the whole indus- trial process will go forward without hitch or delay or unnecessary cost. Confidence between employer and employe is a prime essential. There are men in this country who are devoting their attention to the problems of Human Engineering, the solution of which is carrying us forward to greater things.
