II you've ever been on Main street
In Neighbortown when somebody's
team broke down you remember how
every male inhabitant within reach
rushed to that somebody's assistance.
II didn't make any difference whether
the teamster belonged in town or came
from somewhere over the hill and
far away: he was brother and he
needed a helping hand. Some day you
might bo caught in the same fix in
