But we do not want any statues Of any
gods. Our literature and art are full Of
Greek and Roman gods because they are
classic. A people who are supposed to
believe in one God and worship Him alone
should not pay SO much attention to other
gods. Infidel France erected statue
of the goddess Of liberty as their only OBJ

to the extent that we can not have

The loads put upon the powerful engines

their work at Delano to back the train
away to the west of the village and then
go thru at full speed in order to get over

everyday thing to listen to the labored

considering; the risk to the crew from
breakage and other accidents len the man

public by reason of the methods the men
