MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS ri GOVERNMENT bulletin recently pointed out that over a million and a P half patents have been granted in this country since the turn of the century, j Buried among them are the improvements that make the modern radio possible; that make possible the operation of the telephone on such a scale; that give us the talking picture in its present state. Thousands of those patents have meant more jobs for men and women, more of the good things of life to enjoy, and an ever expanding national income. In the patent applications of the future there are sure to be other ideas equalling in magnitude these developments, and it is well to remember occasion¬ ally that only under the American system—a system which premits free minds to think for themselves and to receive a fair reward for the things they create— is this condition possible. Frank Knox, our former Secretary of the Navy, said that you cannot destroy individual enterprise and take away its rewards without at the same time destroying individual freedom and the free institutions under which it flourishes. Any system of government which offers the same rewards to the man who loafs as to the man who works, is going to kill that irresistible force which has made the United States the country the entire world envies. I would like to leave with you this poem by an unknown author, which sums up in a very few lines, a sound measure of a man. “A man’s no bigger than the way he treats his fellow-man, This standard has his measure been since time itself began. He’s measured not by titles or creed, high sounding though they be, Not by the gold that’s put aside, nor by his sanctity. He’s measured not by social rank, when character’s the test, Nor by his earthly pomp or show, displaying wealth possessed. He’s measured by his justice, right; his fairness at his play, His squareness in all dealings made, his honest, upright way. These are his measures, ever near to serve him when they can, For man’s no bigger than the way he treats his fellow-man.” Alvah G. Hayes
