AT WORK I look at our mines and see The miners prepare for work, I think they are the bravest men, No danger do they shirk. A cave-in they do not fear, Nor a Hooded mine in the least, Though a demon may lurk inside Like a huge and unchained beast. The miners, little lights Cast off a puny glow Through the darkness that engulfs In the catacombs below. They lie upon their backs And dig in the dripping veing Their muscles knot and cramp Like a rheumatic pain. So now when you're cozy and warm While the cold wind blows outside, Remember they dug the coal That in comfort you may abide. -Howard Potthoff. emit?-'4'r:sfL f r-j 11 2: -'P'-www-14' J '1'-'E ' I N-c: 'rf:!9:A2-'K'-rviwrwfi ','t:'r-.-1 6711 fffgo-:'i,':-3 :.r P2971 oxyyzugqnzzawvrgh-mu 1:1441-gr-has-ewyv-2. rg-1,1-I ' ' J '- , ,.

PORTRAIT OF A MINER llrouping, With lantern-dimined, l'lI'0lll darkness to daylight, Cold, hungry, covered with dirt and grease, there works A man. Wleary Yvith lagging steps lie trudges slowly ll0lllCQ A friendly dog. merry children Greet him. Sighing XVith real comfort And lighting his old pipe, He rests in the evening twilight Content. gvivienne Hippler. A FELLOW TOWNSMAN He works for little Though he's in his priineg When his hills are paid, He hasnlt al dime. Wfhen he enters the rnine, His life is at stake, For he never knows When the c-eiling may break. The coal that he digs For the little he makes Means sacrifice For all our sakes. flvilliam A. Riley.

ABANDONED Around a curve in the path where I love to stroll An old abandoned mine in the hillside steep ls mud-encrusted, a humble and dusty heap Of rotting timbers where Time has taken toll. 7 That weather-worn frame hides a blind and Widening hole That winds below the hill and drops down deep Into a tomb where man once toiled to reap For his fellowmen, earth,s hidden harvest of coal. -Claudia Margolis. .1.:f.,, 4' ,A..:j?ati-.:wnn.::,::,,-1-nt' ' Qrjfqru:-.faxfllf 'Qi' gi ' ' :.A' I' ' 5 .- '-, -' gh- 5 1 Nfizli if A ' I ' l .
