But first let us take you out on the river and show you what is occurring." We drove out a concrete highway. built at local expense. to a point where the levee was threatened with a break. and on the way down they said: "No automobile passes over this highway except it is requisitioned for work in the flood. Sightseers have been coming here from adjoining States. We take them out of their automobiles. give them picks and shovels. and tell them to go to work on the levees. Our women have left their homes and are out here in tents cooking and taking care of flood refugees."
