The Truck Driver 1
ancB the Laxfly
I 've often heard it said that our highways would be
safer if there were no trucks on them. I disagree.
When my sister took her first long drive last Winter, she
had to go through the mountains in a storm at night. Snow
and ice made visibility poor and driving dangerous. Then a
truck loomed in front of her, but because of the weather
and steep curves she didn't dare pass it.
Farther on, both she and the truck driver stopped at an
isolated roadside lunchroom, and he asked if she had been
following him. She admitted it and apologized, explaining
how frightened she was. Then this gruff gentleman put his
arm around her shoulder and said, "Little lady, stick behind
me the rest of the way, and I'll take you where you're going."
He did, too. But when they got into town, he gave a
double toot on his horn, waved his hand, and drove off, and
she never had a chance to thank him. Pearl V. Robison,
Idaho Falls, Idaho.
THE UNSIGNED CARD. My neighbor, a working
widow with a nine-year-old son, has a hard time making
ends meet The other day, her voice choked with emotion,
she showed me a birthday card her youngster had given her.
It was unsigned. She said when he presented it he explained,
"I know we don't have very much money, so you keep it
until it's my birthday, then you can give it back to me."

INGENUITY ON THE DESERT. Driving along a
lonely stretch of the Mojave desert recently, we noticed a
woman standing alone near a parked car. Stopping, we
asked if she needed help.
She laughed and pointed at the trunk of the car. "My
husband's in there."
Then we heard a knock and a voice, "O.K. Open Up!"
A man crawled out and explained sheepishly, "No dark
room for miles, and I had to load some film. Can't miss this
beautiful scenery no telling when we'll be back this way
again." Hannah L. Miller, Sarasota, Fla.

... i sit in the twilight on the plane homeward bound
and remember the city apartment.
I see still the magnificence of the view. From the clean
glass of the tower, the lake spread below like a surging
carpet. Its walls beyond were crystal in sunlight and misted
in fog. I might have been lonely and yet I could not be, for
the view and the city were mine.
"I could write in this tower," I said. "Surely I could write
immortal words."
I could envision myself with only glass between me and
the world, with nothing above but the lowered sky. It was
hard to accept the fact that I could never possess it, that I
held it only for a little time as a jewel I might never wear.
But now the night closes in on me, higher than the tower,
higher than the walls, far from the lake. Soon I will be
home again in a world which can never know the towers and
the magnificence.
Spread before me are the lights of my town. I have never
seen it this way before. In this night it wears its own
splendor. Its neon glows like fire, its brilliance is set in the
squares of its lighted blocks. And the brown river reflects
the sparkle and is a living beauty of its own.
Something far more precious than the city tower seizes
me. I catch my breath at an unrecognized heritage as though
I see sudden radiance in a plain face I love.
Tomorrow I will awake among the woods and meadows
and there will be a robin singing at my window and I will
again assume the mantle of my little world.
Perhaps I needed to be away for a time to remember.
This is truly beloved. This is home.
