They use to put logs in the

dams. They would let the water

known as a boom.
The most of us have seen or
heard about booms on dry land.
They are generally of short dura¬
tion and soon get back within the
banks of the stream. The curtain
soon falls to slow music and they
sing. After the boom fs over,

stars are gone, many a heart is
aching if \ou c6uld read them all.
Many a pocket is empty after the
boom. This is always followed by
a panic.
