long and colorful career at the helm of his
country, both in war and in peace.
Yre remember him for the many stories., fa
bles probably, but well-loved for all that,
which were taught to us in our childhood of
his honesty, ~truthfulness, integrity and
manners.
Y.’e remember him as a general of ability
and ingenuity in the y^ars of war when the
United States were born* Y'e remember him as
an able statesman and. a strong and upright
leader in the first years of his new. coun
try’s life*
We of Seldovia today nay particularly re
member him as a man of progres-s','forward
looking and scientific in his private life
as a gentleman farmer, George Washington
was a good farmer, alert to new discoveries
in his field, and ever anxious to test new
theories for himself.
New methods of planting and plowing, and
an application of all the new phases of the
industry from which he made an excellent li
ving, all were put into use bn Washington!s
plantations and farms.
Let us, as Seldovians and alaskans, par
ticularly remember George Washington today

as a man not afraid
of new things, but a
man interested in mo
ving forward to a
better life for him
self and for his
courtry.
George Washington
well knew that there
was no s'tatic place
in life, where a man
may move apart and
watch other life move
on without him. He
recognized clearly
that life which does
not grow and move u
head must surely die,
for there is no place
which is changeless.
When we cease to
grow, we begin to
die. and that fact
is as apparent-in the
existence of a city
or a country as it is
in the life of an in
dividual. We must
move on to better
things or we go back
ward to nothing.
