JOHN MALANG-GREAT MISSOURIAN THERE was buried yesterday in Joptin the form of one of Mis- souri's greatest citirens. John M. Malang had given of the beet years of his life and the utmost of his tremendous energies and en- thuslasm toward providing Missouri with her marvellous system of mod- ern highwaya which have won for our state an enviable distinction throughout all America
Years before the state Itself began to think seriously of hard-surfaced highways. John Malang headed the organizallon In Jasper county which pointed the way and served as an example and Inspiration for other Missouri countles to follow in lifting Missouri out of the mud. As atate senator he served his dlatriet and his state with notable distinction. He had Ideas as well as ability and a courage that was truly iconine.
Mr. Malang was In the very thlek of the fight for the $75,000,000 road bonds which are to be voted on by the people in the November election when death overtook him, and it is quite within the range of probability that his end was hastened by the constantly sustained mental and physical strain to which he volun- tarlly subjected himself In laboring for the success of the road bond proposal so dear to his heart.
That this fallen leader was not lacking the appreciation of his fel- low public apirited Missourians he was shown in the resolution adopted some weeks ago by the good-roadera In the far northeastern section of the alate, calling for the naming of . one of the main cross-state high- ways after his name. That resolu- tion should be adopted as a fitting and richly-merited memorial to one who has served his state so helpfully and so enduringly.

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to Places They've Loved and 8till Cherish
By CELIA RAY
DEARLY treasured are the mem- ories of hie old home town- Ozark, Mo .- as they are kept fresh and vivid today by J. R. Roberts, jus- tice of peace and formerly teacher of mathematics in Senior High school 16 years and Greene coun- ty superintendent of schools for 10 years.
"When I was 7 years of age, my father took me on a horseback jour- ney from our Roberts home near where Palmetto now is. to a little mountain town in Chris- tian county," recalls Mr. Roberts.
"The way seemed very long to a boy 'riding behind,' and my heart leaped for joy when the good man sald. There it is!' We were on the summit of a lofty hill overlooking the beautiful Finley, and when I looked in the direction indicated by my father. I beheld a most fas- cinating picture-a fine cluster of houses on a noble rise beyond the Finley-Ozark, a little later to be- come my home town.
"That picturesque village has ever since been my home town, and ever will be. Around it cluster all the memories, happy and unhappy, of my boyhood and youth. There I re- ceived my elementary. and high `school training. There I attended the lyceums, singings and spelling bees. There in the 'blue hole' I learned to swim. There along the banks of dear old Finley George Pettijohn taught me my first lessons in catching the frisky 'chub' and the shiny perch. There in the early 60's I witnessed the bitter tears of the
mothers and sisters as the older boys marched away to war: 'Some southward through the verdant vale.
Some northward up the mountain trail:
And on and on. their country's pride.
They marched, they fought, they bled. they died.'
"I love my old 'home town.' I . never visit it without walking over Its devious streets, peering down it precipitous bluff, or strolling along the margin of Ithe lake, trying w locate the place where I baited my first hook. I seriously pity the. fel- low who has no 'old home town. and I detest the cartoonist who slanders it, and I certainly would re- fuse to give his ugly picture pace in a paper over which I had a.con- trolling Interest."
