STEEL MILLS Rising like an immense organ With rusted pipes, the steel mills Are viewed from afar. Each pipe represents an octave--the laborers, the clerks, the foremen, and the superintendent Working together in harmony to produce rails, stream-lined trains, airplanes reach- ing all parts of the world, For you, and mel fRuth Wisor. TO A SCHOOL CHUM Friends Weill stay if both are spared. As I gaze upon your pictureg Then I smile upon the mixture Of your laughter and lament, Think of happy days weive spent Sharing everything togetherg Now, in truth, I wonder Whether Ancient friendships may meet Wreck By forgetting and neglect. Shall there come a time for shame When I can't recall your name? But this surely is a notiong YVhat can shatter true devotion? Friends we'll stay if hoth are spared. -Sylvia Bassel. f7T'.

Train whistles in the night. Some have a long, lonely, pleading whistle Like steel pulled painfully into wire, And their engines move with short and weary puffs Like old men tired with mounting life,s long flight of stairs. Freight trains ....... long and slow, Carrying frightened sheep and crowded, lowing cattle. With just room and air enough to feed the spark of life Still lingering in the weary frightened cattle To keep it burning till they reached their destination, Slaughter. Some whistles are triumphant, short hut loud, Like orders from a baron to his hireling. The Zephyr, a luxury train, With long, airy cars, and flowers at the tables, Lovely women, flawless dress, white hands, Pudgy men, impatient, helching with plenty Swept through the night. At breakfast I read of disaster, a train wreck, Burning bodies, groans, shrieks in the night, And I ponder on the destinies of the dead who will travel on wings Beyond the reach of light. -Milan Glumicich. -f.4.1:p-5.1:-wg-,-1, 11,-j 7- -gf,--ffl-.x.s-4-1.1 4.44 5.-1 : gm cj -7-sff:'x'r-.4119-H 4f':'J50-:w.fivf Q f- I PTGQ cf-Yg'4-ins-vswza-avr-Ld s-e--f x:v -'ct-1-Dee!-bus?-P-r-mJT11-U-' ' ' ' 'lvl'-I-. 4 , .'

STEEL As the molten steel leaves the huge converter Like the steady stream from a surging heart, The future of its products looms ahead. Will these ingots become strong rails--on which the fastest limited shall ride, Pullman cars, in which eager travelers will sojourn, enjoying the panorama before themg Or an engine, as important to transportation as beauty to a poet? Every particle may enter into the making of a massive steamboat, seen the world overg Or into the numerous cogs of automobile wheels, traversing the highroads and by- roads, Or, perhaps, it will become a part of many window sashes proudly adding their help to construction. E In whatever commodity, the momentous renditions of service Make the molten steel Codis gift to mankind. -Ruth Wisor. GOING TO SCHOOL ON THE TROLLEY On the trolley car they ride, Watching everything outside, Everything is floating by, As a bird skims through the sky. The car is filled with youths so gay, Chattering merrily on their wayg The trolley slows up with a glide, Would that life were just a ride! -Marjorie Hill. : rv-cr:-,eil-'4fg1uf:g 5- '23,-p-9-.v,suiv 4.4 xg 1 Igu.p1:I' 4Z3P5 f19?'dl'Pfft'-5i'?8?Wf Gfi Ij9'!'i,ff're' se Xfmiff-NR?
