(’’THE NIGHT I ¥AS SAVED, CONTINUED FROM^I
I told l^!ama what I*d heard Chester say
about the dams being overburdened due to
so much rain and Ifema squinted her eye
and looked in the direction of lindenwood
Lake, where the biological station was,
I didn’t say anything, but I knew what
she was thinkingi * cause we lived below
the dam, and so did Shine and Pearl, al
so Henry Baty and others - I told Mama
not to worry, that Henry Baty worked for
the forest service, but she said watch
ing for floods wasnH his job. About
that time Henry started turning the gold
band on his finger and I knew we^d said
too much.
Finally Henry said, "Those dams
have been there for a long time. Besides
who ever heard of a flood in the highest
incorporated town east of the Rockies?
No sweat." Then he returned to reading
about the "New Deal" and the progress of
the ¥. P. A. and the CCC*s. I knew he
liked Roosevelt and the "New Deal". Af
ter he started reading again I saw Mama
take a look and I knew she was still
uneasy about the rains. We had pots

Mama hadn’t said, "38 please" in some
time.
I watched June coming from the barn
shed in the torrent and I knew Jtoa
couldn’t walk to Aunt Carrie’s in such

About that time George came in from
the Country Club, all drenched from the
rain. He worked in the pro shop and I
knew he didn’t like the work. He just
did it ’cause we were coming out of the
depression and there weren’t many people
building yet, so he couldn’t do carpentry
work like he loved, and it made him ir
