Associated Press Photographer In 1937 floods washed over huge portions of the United States By February, the Ohio and Mississippi had swept away whole towns. Millions were fleeing, homeless^from, Arkansas bayous'. Ohio lowlands and even Penn­ sylvania's Monongahela- flooded hills People of ten states fought to reinforce the sagging levees of the White, the Ouschita and the Missouri rivers John Lindsay, an Associated Press photographer, went to Memphis. Tn . to cover the flood crisis as 50,000 refugees streamed into the imperiled city. Its levees were dangerously strained, as the Mississippi was expected to crest at 53 feet - 7' j feet above its record level Mr Lindsay heard rumors of a prison chain gang working on a nearby levee. Chain gang0 Few Americans in 1937 were aw are that chain gangs existed Few photographers had ever been allowed near them.

THE GOOD WORD from yfht Sib .How often it happens that the strongest temptations come our way when we are most susceptible. The devil, the constant adversary, makes his move when our defenses are down, when there is some special sigjQ of weakness. Jesus certainly was weak, tired and famished after a fast of forty days and forty nights. In the wilderness, away from public eyes, the devil found the perfect opportunity. If yew are who you claim to be, he challenged, help youfself. Turn these stones about you into bread! Feed yourself. Many of us have never known the real pangs of hunger? Someone who has will tell you that it is painful to the entire body. t We must believe that denial of temptation was as painful to JesuS as would be our situation if we were starving in a room full of food which we could not eat. Few of us shall ever face the possibility ofrstarvation; but we shall certainly be tempted. It is then we must remember the ad­ monition that "man does not live by bread alone" and, like Jesus, turn the temptor away. 3&B NSULATION n Got Your l Heating Bill Lately? We Can Help!!!
