MEMORIAL DAY FOR US
Perhaps no place else in the world
will Memorial Lay be received with less
patriotic appeal than in Dillingham, This
is not because of brazen forgetfulness
nor the end prdduot of poorly nurtured
citizenship; but rather because of an
outgrowth of economic contingencies inw
possible to lock tehiude
Memorial Day cal. a op meraerier** Our
minds will be glutted v-*.bh .n pc. letv too>
but they will relive ■- of ac ~ ..vo
prosperity and of bright ur.ya when cur
economy was stable and our future depend
ent only upon our industry, The dull cry
of the desperately needy cannot be covered
by the sound of a Civil War cp.nhon or a
Korean bomb; nor can the plight of hungry
ragged children bo shoved aside, to mako
room for tho memory of a tired, war-weary
soldier. This year is different from
others.
Today our fear is for our children, -
our homes and our livelihood. Our horizor
has dangerously narrowed, our memories
selfishly personal, and our dreams long
forgotten. This is a desolote day.
The thread of perseverance is strained
Kope and trust have almost dissipated
themselves in thiG prolonged fight for
economic security, exposing our only re
maining cable of strength, prayer.
