THE SNOW-CONTTNUED


Wherevei we may go
Or wherever we may be-
Well look out for the snow
And that Wen surely see.
It's an emblem OF purity and love,
Sent down from some far off cline,
A long way up above,
Where It's freezing all the time.
1t is like great big mantle
Spread over all the ground,
To keep away the cold,
Wherever 1t Is found
Whatever you may do
Or wherever you may go,
There's nothing more pure
White than the whiteness Of the snow.

their guns-instead of running to
the telephone, as a guard in one of
the government agencies is reported
to have done recently when he saw
someone rifling an important file.
They must be paid good wages To
