Selected Poem
DESIGN


 Bay of Fundy Shore) (N6artha Banning Thomas in The Christian Science
 Monitor) These fields are tilted toward the sea, Yet every frightened apple tree Leans backward to the soping land. As if the winds ungentle hand Had dragged it harshly by the hair To keep 1t safely rooted there; And so the balance of design Is roughly patterned, curve and line By wind and weather, year on year, To make composition here; Each tell-tale downward, grassy track And trees whose apples pull you back.

STREET PAVING. IS STARTED IN
 CITY--ALM0ST
Grew Begins to Tear Up Street, But Rules
 Force Halt

 Sc. the crew of Federal Emerg- eney Relief Work employees, which had started work tearing up Sec and Avenue between Main and Seward Streets, was called off the job
 ] It seems the EZRA just can't work on Public Works Administra- ton projects And that's what the paving of Juneau streets is to be: a PWA project.
 The city SO Harry Watson, sec retary to Gov. John w. Troy, said today has been allotted $103,00O by the PWA for street paving.
 Tn the meantime, the Territory ana the city have combined on FERA projects to relieve local un- employment, The Territory has fuvni 'hed the labor. and the city has supplied the projects. tools, and materials. Therefore. municipal Of ficials planned to tear up the streets and lay the rock founda- tions. so that in the spring it would be a simple task to spread the cement.
 Aiso because if is held to be a municipal responsibility, Watson explained that EZRA workers are not permitted to clear streets of snow
 Mayor Isadore Goldstein said this afternoon that PWA work on the streets would not begin until the spring, when the frost is out of the ground.

 The army is coming somewhat into it's owns again after a partial eclip'e during the first years oi the republic.

 The outstanding points Of the new program include increase oi the army from around 15o,o0O men to a total Of 25O0oo; powerful for tification of the strategic Balearic Islands; improvement of the air service; creation of motorized speed division" of artillery and machine gun units. and greater efficiency in compulsory military training.

 One of the special features will be a 30-minute concert before each game by the R. o. T. c. band, and between halves the fraternities and sororities will be given opportunity to advertise themselves and de- velop a collegiate atmosphere.

Spain was able to preserve it's neutrality throughout the World War, partly because the Mediter- ranean problem was of secondary importance. But present European war talk indicates that control of the Mediterranean would be vital strategic point in another conflict.
 Two necessary elements in the defense of the Balearic Islands are coast defenses and airplanes. Maj Ramon Franco, famous trans-At- lantic flier and ex-director general of aeronautics, has gone to the United States for three months to study American aviation. When he returns complete reorganization of the Spanish air service is Sched- uled to begin.
 The Belearic Islands have been called the heart" of the Mediter- ranean, because they occupy a vital position near the entrance within striking distance of Frances Marseille and England's Gibraltar.
 Should foreign power occupy the islands, Spain might be forced to war.
 Deny Spain War Minded
 The present Qualifications could not withstand serious attack. But plans have been drawn for mod ern steel and stone forts equip ped with anti-aircraft guns. anti submarine nets and submerged tor pedo guns, as well as defensive flo tillas of submarines.
 Preliminary work has started at the naval base of Mahon in Me- norca and will be extended to the other islands next year.
 Spain is not becoming war minded" officials insist. Because of our position, we must be pre- pared to protect our neutrality" ranking army officer explained.

City are two projects which may
come under the federal govern
ments grant to the state of $12.-
100000 for highways and grade
crossings.
While Coulee City people are not
nearly as much interested in road
through Moses Coulee as they are
in securing a good passable road
from the North Central highway at
Soap Lake to the Sunset at this
point. However they are not un-
mindful Of the needs of people
from other parts Of the state and
will cooperate with them in secur-
ing an appropriation from the fed
eral government for this road.
The money is from the four bill
lion dollar work relief appropria-
ton and does not have to be match
ed with state funds. 1t will be- in
addition to the regular federal aid
grants.
1t Is understood that cities and
counties may benefit from! the
grant, as we'll as state highways.
"A meeting SHOULD be called of city
and ~ county commissioners and
menkbers of chambers of commerce
.Eoad committees in the county
soon to select the projects to be
submitted by this district.

STATE SHOULD FIX
DRY FALLS CUT. OFF

The deplorable condition in
which the state highway depart
ment left the Coulee City-Soap
Lake highway, is an insult to the
people of this section. Before the
state crews begun work on cit this
spring it was passible, now 1t is IN
most deplorable condition.
The first streach of the road
from the north between the Sum-
set and Park and Blue Lake is so
full of chuck holes that car
must necessarily slow down to
few miles an hour in order to pass
with any degree of safety. The
Soap Lake end is in much better
condition, because it was not tore
Up this spring and left before be-
ing completed. People in this part
Of the country feel that the state
highway should complete this road
and Put it in good condition, in
asmuch at is responsible to a very
large degree for it's present state.
If necessary, Grant County is
willing to maintain the road if the
state will do it's part and complete
the work started early this spring.
Traffic will come over this road
this esumner by the hundred of
thousands of cars. In fact it has
begun Something should
be done to remedy this great in
Justice of the state highway de-
partemtn.
