Twenty One Virginia by Erling Toness Iron digger for the world, School builder, piler of ore, Player with lumber and the nation's chief mineralg Windy, rainy, and hot, City of many weathers. I see your men walking down the street With dinnerpails in their hands and iron dust in their noses. I see your streets in the spring, Streets with slushy snow, Dirty, slushy, sandy snow in the spring. I see your children playing in the streets, Dodging cars and playing baseball. On Mondays, they splash in a tiled pool in the school buildingg On Sundays six of them go to Sunday school And two of your children go to church. Saturday they shoot skunks and robins with their twenty-twos. Children of Swedes, Finns, and Italians, Children of many lands. I see your women washing clothes and scrubbing floors. I see them rushing to sales and crowding counters. They pass each other in fur coats and thread-bare serge coats. They sit long hours painting their cheeks, And a woman washes her face in laundry soap. Virginia, I see your people turning up overcoat collars to keep out the cold. Your children stamp their feet so they won't freeze their toes. Virginia, I see your people sweating in a blazing sun. They look for some shade to get out of the burning heat. Virginia, I see your people hiding behind umbrellas. They run into buildings so they won't get wet. City of many weathers. City of many nations, Queen City of the Iron Range. il . x 2 1? I 'X ' l, .

P-Lew Twenty Dusty Overalls by Grace Darin He came from the pit, leaving behind him its engines and shovels-its cranes and smoke-and ore. There was smoke in that pit-the smoke of toil for the sake of progress. There was dust in that pit-dust of the earth and its elements. There was ore in that pit-ore of iron, upon Whose Wheels the chariot of civilization moves forward. And when he came from the pit, he brought with him Dusty overalls- And a clean mindg Dusty overalls- And a clean soulg Dusty overalls-- And the thought of a day's work well done. September Waits For June by Erling Toness Fathoms of silent water Suprest by a sheet of silent ice Wait patiently Press-diligently-for freedom. Restless Waters must wait. The sun brought days of freedom The Waves chase waves endlessly They kiss the shore Dancing happily in ecstasy Restless waters may dance f Mm ,-r ' I ,M D ig I 1: ,V 1 it l . Q gg!
