than an hour the work of about two centuries
was reduced to firewood.
Passers-by reacted scientificially or poet
ically, according to temperament.
Said one, “I've read about this kind of tree
felling, but I've never seen it done before.”
He watched mechanically.
Another looked up at the half-tree which
still clutched the sky with green fingers, then
down at the unseasoned fuel already hacked
into sections.
h'rom Edwin Markham’s “Lincoln, the
Man of the People" came the lines:
“As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs,
does down with a great shout upon the hills
And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.”
The stump will probably be blasted out a
little later, Mr. Wright stated.

Any harm in a nap after
Thanksgiving Dinner?
To most of us a nap after Thanksgiving din
ner is as much a part of Thanksgiving as the
turkey itself. And there’s no harm in that if
we don’t stay asleep to the responsibilities
that go with the good things we have to be
thankful for . . . the good things we enjoy
only because we are a free people.
But too many of us go right on napping
year after year.
45 million Americans failed to exercise
their right to vote in the last presidential
election! They were asleep to one of the
most fundamental duties of free Americans.
How many millions more of us are asleep
to our other duties as citizens of a democ
racy? How many of us are napping when
we should get out to our Town Meetings
and other civic government groups? How
many millions of us pay union dues and
don’t vote in union elections — own stock
but throw away our proxies? How many of
us dodge jury duty?
These are our rights as free people! These
are the rights we’d all hate to lose—yet so
many of us do so little to help keep them.
We must do more than giva thanks for the
good things freedom gives us—on Thanks
giving or any other day of the year. We
must work to keep our freedom. We have a
government “of the people”—and only the
people themselves can make it work right!
It takes 1 50 million full-time, wide-awake
citizens to keep our democracy going —
to keep it going strong!
mi
