Then starts the journey. After
battle of approximately thirty min

running. Scarcely an automobile in
sight, and those that do happen to
pass already have large number
of occupants.
He takes the automobile broken

foot gulley.. is an automobile; Evi-
cause the snow has covered up its
path. It's standing upright and
buried to half it's height under
drift.

minute interview with the fellow who
wrote SO many poems on that nice
snow which is clinging damply and
chilly to his legs and "squnching"
around his ankles. Wonders how
many are at the Office. Wonders If
he'll be able to get back home again.
