Gays we fail 20 sec the dangers that may
thus undermine the nations life. In the
valley of Chamouni they had built those
little cottages centuries ago. In perfect
safety they had lived. The sun was fair;
nature smiled. They were lulled into a
sense Of security because nothing had
happened so far. But back upon those
fair mountain sides, through the GEN. +,
turles of the past, there had been slowly
at work forces that on n day of the fair
est sun and the brightest light loosed
the avalanche that came crashing down
and engulfed those homes with all that ,
they held-with all their hopes and JOYS. !,
l believe that it behooves a nation in ,
her falrest day thus to watch, thus with :
the utmost care to sec that beneath the !,
surface there may not be a power that !
perhaps is undermining that which is =.
essential to its life perpetuity. (,
