"I lay under the big bridge that night waiting for the 10 o'clock train west. Wben I start cd for the train I looked back and saw a Jewwho belongs to my class making for the same place.

As we pulled out of Jackson a brakeman carne up and said: 'I know you; your'ê from Ann Arbor, and you live 300 miles west of Chicago!
