It took q lot of backache and bis

Those two great January storms
created q desperate situation-one
that had 10 be met and overcome.
Everybody suddenly had the same
iGea-a strong shovel, q willing heart
and a cheerful disposition.
There was nothing else to do.
We had to be free.
And we We're.
Every patriot in the middle west
who had a shovel and q backbone got
out and used them.
Lot lines didn't count, for we were
fighting a common enemy.
The shoveling spirit thrilled US, en-
masse-no one stopped to be saluted
or introduced-no n stopped to
theorize-no one claimed exemption or
superiority. We just asserted our
right of way-apd dug it.
So, here is freedom-to so or come.
1t was a great lesson in united &C

darity of human interest, a reassuring
experience in loyalty to the cause Of
common welfare. 1t was, an American
demonstration.

they were seeing those Redeemed, sand

When men meet in these snow

And they mean it-as they meant
