Description : Looking in his pocket for his surplus commodities card. "Not having a job is bad enough, but you keep goin' down and purty soon you're here and the spirit is gone. I turn my face when someone I know real well comes along the sidewalk. It takes the spirit when you're in here and then you haven't anything left."
