manently in the country, what
would they do with their weekends?
They would have to relax and rest
over the weekends and this would
make them miserable, because city
dwellers count that weekend lost
which does not send them back to
their desks Of a Monday worn out
and exhausted.
The abandonment Of our big cities
would work q hardship on small
town dwellers, too. If there weren't

over the landscape. I have made
tentative list of what I would try
to get.
Broadway and Forty-second street
would be my first choice. 1t has
long been a saying that if man
stood on this corner long enough,
every one he knows would eventually
pass by. 1t would be a very handy
thing TO have in Daytona Beach.
So would Times Square, because 1t
would enable the local citizens to
join in all the big celebrations that
are held in the square without
having to travel to New York.
Six or seven miles of subway
would be mighty nice to have, too,
but engineers tell me that the task
of digging up hole in the ground,
and then transporting the hole a
thousand or so miles, would be so
expensive that 1t would be neces-
sary to charge a $1,000 fare for my
city to ever get its money back.
Always Fair Weather.
When Los Angeles is broken up,
I'd like to get its weather bureau.
Evening star., 1945-11-07

Our Florida meteorologists occa-
sionally slip up and admit the pres
ence Of hurricanes and frosts, but
the Los Angeles bureau would never
be guilty of such slip. Through
long practice, 1t has become blind
to any Of natures defects. It's al
ways fair weather when those jolly
fellows get together-even when the
seismograph is jumping up and
down as If some one had given it a
hotfoot.
But I don't believe I'll ever be
called on to make these purchases,
because I don't think our big cities
will ever be broken up. This coun-
try simply couldn't get along with
out them. For one thing, where
would country boys 60 to make good
in if there were no big cities? Most
of our national leaders in industry,
finance and the arts came from the
country to the city to make good.
Americans thrill to the picture of
a country boy, raffia suitcase in
hand, $l.75 in pocket, arriving in
"a metropolis to make his fame and
fortune. 1t would take us long
time to get accustomed to the re-
|verse-that of a city slicker, mono
|grammed luggage in hand, pockets
stuffed with securities, arriving at
a crossroads hamlet to make good
as a snuff drummer.
