1 COUNTRY TOWN
BY Carl S, Weist

If l could ever settle down,
I'd choose a cozy country town,
A town that lies just in between
The throbbing world and fields of
green.
There folks would know me as
am,
Without pretense, false pride, or
sham.
No mad crowds milling everywhere
Soft drows1ness hangs in the air.
With friends enough to pass the
day
And while the winter nights away
Few strangers wander down the
street.
You speak to everyone you meet.
| like the friendfiness that chats
In gardens on the ways of cats;
The kindness that gives and
takes
Raisins and flour, fresh pies and
cakes.
One day a week in Sunday clothes
The whole town seeks divine re-
pose;
Then peace and silence DER me
brood
And makes me feel that life is
good.
If ever I should settle down,
I'd find a friendly country town.

ROOSEVELT ONE OF "CREATEST,"
 FARLEY SAYS
Democratic Chieftain De- clares F.D.R. Among Great
 Leaders of All Time

Labelling President Franklin D. Roosevelt as man who will go down in history as one of the great est Presidents of the United Sta tes, '" Postmaster General James A. Far ley, Democratic National Chairman, chatted to Alaskans this afternoon for few minutes over KINY, out lining briefly some of the major achievements of the Roosevelt Ad- ministration.
 He pointed expressly to the Home Owners Loan Corporation, farm leg islation, beneficial legislation for labor and for business. Countless homes were saved for the owners through the HOLC, he declared, and never before in the history of the nation have the farmers benefited to as great an extent as under the policy of the present administra- ton. Labor has been given assis- tance in reaching its goal and busi- ness has been fostered and revived under the existing Roosevelt policy.
 "The Banking Day address made by the President shortly after his inauguration was in my opinion one of the greatest utterances ever made by an American President" he said. Reciting that when the Roosevelt administration, took over, everyone had lost confidence in the country and the government, Mir Farley de- clared that the banking day speech was the turning point in restoring that confidence and bringing busi- ness back on an even keel.
 The works that are being carried on under the PWA and WPA will be known for centuries, he stated, pointing to the great Golden Gate bridge, Bonneville and Coulee dams as examples of public works which will bring better conditions to mil lions.
 Touching on Federal buildings in Alaska, he said that an addition to the Juneau bilding was in the offing, new building is under con- struction at Wrangell and he dedi- cated at Ketchikan 'one of our best buildings" He pointed out that Federal buildings such as he men, toned are not erected unless the postal receipts are over $10,000.
 Unable to make the trip to the Shrine of St. Terese, MT. Farley announced that the Postoffice there would be officially open tomorrow.
 The official expressed apprecia- tion to the people of Alaska for the fine reception rendered him and
