Per psi*'i 50f Mr in I toor North Little Heroes of the . Storm I It will be I many a Ion? I year before B last week’s I blizzard— ^ tho most severe March storm in history—fades from the memory of the people. The high spots that will be remembered are the deepest March snow, the tie-up of traf fic, the severe cold ami the heroism with which i these conditions were met by workers in the business and industrial w o r 1 d. many of whom found travel “on the hoof’’ the only available means of transportation. It was on Sunday, however, when these business and indus trial workers were luxur ating "in the feathers.’’ or idling over a late break fast, that some of the greatest heroes of the storm were valiently going about their duty in spite of icy winds and driving snows. The newspaper carrier boys are not much concerned with city trans portation tie-ups. They do their work afoot any way, and they are expect ed to perform their func tion of distributing news papers in all weathers ami under all conditions. Per haps it is because of their very faithfulness that so little attention is paid, as a rule, to the work they do. Perhaps if they failed a little oftener we would be more inclined to stop and consider their diffi culties. That their dif ficulties were real, you w b o struggled through that wind anti snow are ready to testify. That I heir courage was great, you who tried, whether you succeeded or turned back, can fully appreciate In the old days owners of horses hesitated to take their animals out in extremely rough v eather. On Sunday literati,’ thousands of ear owners wou'd not ventu*c out with their ma chines because they enuld not trust their powerful engines to combat the force of drifted snow and raging elements. But nearly a thousand newsboys in ! Omaha, between the ages of 1? and IS, left their various sub stations laden with the heaviest paper of the week, to face wind and snow and heart-breaking cold, to deliver their papers and keep bright their record for un broken service. Sometimes we’re wondered at the great number of eminently success ful business men who have started their business careers as newsboys. This incident just ibout explains it. News boys have a way of doing what they start out to do. \ few isolated cases last Sunday, where boys became exhausted and were unable to finish their routes, is not r\idenee to the contrary. It proven, rather, what a genuinely perilous task they had to perform and how valiantly they met their respon sibility. The Brandeis Store, in its own behalf and in behalf of the entire community, gives this appreciation of the splendid service rendered by these little heroes of the storm, J L.
