A new director to replace resigned Ross L. Sheely as Director of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corpor- ation at Matanuska. was a Juneau visitor today passing through on the steamer Alaska, genial Dr. Herbert c. Hanson of Fargo, North Dakota.
 Dr. Hanson, whose evident phil osophy is of the home-spun farmer variety, was able to laugh at impli- cations he was walking into a hot one"
 Having no special plans for the colony, only recently having been appointed by the Board of Directors and making his first visit to Alaska Dr. Hanson laughed, T haven't seen seen the valley, yet
 Accompanying Dr. Hanson are his wife and three small children, all together representing collective impression of a man who has come North to stay
 Prior to his appointment to his Alaskan post, Dr. Hanson has been Director of the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at Fargo where he has resided for the past ten years.
 First impression of Alaska for Dr Hanson has been one of favorable contrast, he said, to a dust bow left behind, and going to Matanuska where new crops are being sought represents to him considerably more pleasing ospect than the problem of correcting difficulties arising out of planting too much wheat.
