POSTMASTER Introductory.
The Introductory remarks of Toastmas-
ter Joseph Game and the responses to-
the various toasts are given below.
We are assembled tonight to celebrates
the realization of dream, said the
POSTMASTER, "a dream that has been to
many of US the one bright hope through
all the dark DAYS since the panic of 's3,
the one fleeing light that promised To
show a way out OF the wilderness of local
business depression. Year after year the
rainbow has appeared in the sky, drop
ping an end with its promised bag OF
gold somewhere within our view, and
year after year. as we ran like happy
children to find the lucky spot. the cOlors
have faded into The blue. the promise
dissolved into mist But after all it was
a happy dream, and now that ii is all
over and the dream has come true, We
can look back upon the weary years of
waiting and find in them many hours we
would be glad to live again
And for this long delay. for the many
disappointments. for the broken promises
and deferred hopes. we will make all the
more joyous the return of the prOdigat
prosperity. We have already killed tbs
fatted calf and il remains for you but
to eat, drink and be merry, for tomor-
row we begin to live again
Great City Shall Rise.
And now that the dream is no longer
a dream and the man who told you so
has begun to talk out loud. it does seem
the simplest thing in the world to trans
form this sleepy old town of ours into d
modern uD-tO-date city.
1T is but natural that from the mighty
mountains. pouring their treasures
this luxuriant valley. a great city should
arise to take her proud place as the
capital of this vast inland empire
so it happened that when the pioneers
had done their work and were passing
to the great beyond. another band Of
men arose to take up the task where
they had left off.
Men like the Guggenbeims, Hartman.
and our own Samuel NewhOuse. saw as
in vision a great modern city spread
over this verdant plain, walled by the
towering mountains and rejecting her
spIendor in the placid face of a majestic
inland sea.
AS bottle of wine is broken on the
prov of the newborn battleship, thrown
for the first time into the arms Of the
mother sea. may we not be justified If.
in quiet transformations way, We break
bottle or two tonight. that we nav
baptize this newborn city in the spark
ling fluid?"
