Franklin Delano Roosevelt Now he is gone. The commander-in-chief has gone to meet the thousands of other Americans who have given their lives for their country. Through the centuries he will be remember ed and revered.' He joins Big Three--for Washington Franklin Delano Roosevelt might live under a new but that the death of one man shake a world. And yet me all corners of the earth. the heroic and the immortal-- a new and Lincoln receive him today-- mhe who truly died that his country st of freedom. It seems incredible could so shock a nation, could so ssages of condolences pour in from Silent prayers are offered up from a tiny village in Russia, a foxhcle cn a Pacific Island, or an Allied captured city in Germany.- Pespects of all kinds are paid to this man. Flags fly at half-mast, radio programs are cancelled, amusements places are closed. Why? Why does one man demand so much honor? When Franklin Roosevelt died, a way of life died with him e A personality never again to be equalled has gone forever., H was a man of a brave spirit, a kind nature, and a good heart. He lived and fought and-yes-he died for all those ideals in which he believed. He brought forth the common man, for even though he came from the top rung of the ladder, he knew every rung below. He had known great times, difficult times, times that tested him longer and more fully than any President. From his inauguration in the time of the depression until his last breath there were no moments not beset with difficulties there was no hour when he was free of man's tribulations, domestic or foreign. Yet, this man, who understood the suf- fering of others because of the long years he had suffered himself, never flinched, never faltered. This was to be his greatest hour. And yet he was called away in that hour when his leadership and wisdom,'his courage and experience, his ideals and his dreams of a finer, freer world for men to live in was needed. But he left to us the fulfillment of his hope, our hope, and the hope of all free men, for peace, everlasting peace 0 Yes, he is gone. There will never be another.' Yet, he need not be gone entirely. He may live in our hearts, in our spirits, in our ideals, and in our fight for the finer, freer world he sought'so desparately. What more worthy tribute could we give this truly great American who has given his life for mankind, than to dedicate our lives to the cause which took his--everlasting peace? - l S Vaneta Furman '45 O

It was this speech which started the colonists on the road to rebellion.W UI am Benjamin Franklin, philosepher, diplomat, and statesman, I am said to be one of the outstanding patriots of the Revolution.
