OUR GOVERNOR CHASE Av CLARK Millions of people throughout the world today would give every- thing but life itself for the privilege of coming to America. They are tired of war. They are tired of old-world methods of doing things. They have heard of this land of opportunity, this land of peace and justice. The advantages of being an American citizen are so common to us that we must frequently stir ourselves to the realization that it is only in this part of the world that the privileges we enjoy are available. Even in this restless era it is hard for us to appreciate our good fortune in America. May it not be necessary for us to be plunged into war to arouse our appreciation of being Americans. May each year bring to us greater devotion to our flag and to the republic for which it stands. May we all contribute our share in making our government a suc- cessful, working democracy, which will continue for centuries to come to give hope to the oppressed peoples of the world. CHASE A. CLARK, Governor. 25
