(JF) Agairst a horizon aglow with possible democratic presidential nominees has been flashed the figure of a far-famed financier. Talk of Owen D. Young as a candidate is widely distributed but apparently in no state is effort being made to pledge delegates to him. In his case much or little is possible. And what manner of man Is this dynamic director of big enterprise who says he does not seek political preferment? The answer perhaps lies In this little farming village of about 180 persons where he was born 57 years ago.

It was in this tiny community that he farmed as a boy and trudged to a one-room school. What he now terms his "cheese box school days" began when he journeyed to a nearby academy, provisioned with a week's food that his mother stored in a cheese box. On borrowed money he went through St. Lawrence university. He completed the three-year law course at Boston university within two years, and soon was riding the road of accomplishment.

Happiest When 'Back Home' But the soil of Vanhornesville, which his ancestors before revolutionary days cleared of woods, still clings to his feet. Friends say he is never as happy elsewhere.
