uncertain gumbo ahead of the
menacing water. From its hum­
ble beginnings in the dips along
Lvndale Drive; the first mute
protest against the ravages of
Nature: the Norwood dike began
n hectic race with water that
had already rampaged through
the streets of Emerson and Mor­
ris. and the living rooms of
Riverview.
If there was defiance in the
act of fighting Nature’s forces,
it was. admittedly, a meek sort
of a defiance. The ever-rising
Red continually routed work for­
ces from one low point on the
dike to another, and many an an­
xious glance v a^ cast at the
weaknesses of the bulwark, in
which necessity dictated the sac­
rificing of stability for height.
Faces of dikers read haggard­
ness, despondency, hopefulness,
and even levity among the few
who did not care, but confidence
did not show there. Rain, sleet,
and gusty winds dampened naive
hopes that the fight would be
an easy one.
It was the volunteers, working
under the supervision of the mili­
tary, that carried the battle to
the Norwood dikes. It was those
who bent their aching backs at
the sandpiles, numbing fingers
clutching a shovel; and those
who slogged with bags through
sticky mire that threatened to
shackle limbs already heavy
from unaccustomed exertion; it
was those who made up front
line of defence.
Among them
were old men, young men, boys;
and accountants, students, sales­
men, factory workers, all united
and befriended in a harassing ef­
fort which gave no time for for­
malities or for the fine distinc­
tions of creed and colour.
