founders of the association, delivered the
benedction at the close. Commissioner
mcfarland represented the District gov
eminent and said, in part:
COmmissioner's Fine Tribute.
II am proud 10 speak for the District
government in the expression Of the gen
eral feeling of respect and regard in
which the entire community holds Mr..
Woodward and Mr.. Sleman. Their public
service to the National Capital has won
for them the grateful appreciation of
their fellOw-citizens. 1t is good TO know
that such representatives Of the National
Capital are going to the Orient as unofi-
cial ambassadors on a mission as signifi-
cant as that Of the political ambassadors,
and one that will rebound to the advan-
tage Of our own country as well as of
the countries to which they are going.
1t is good to know that they are typi-
cal Of the best citizenship of the National
Capital, citizenship that is the best in
the world. Nowhere else is there such
civic pride or public spirit as such citi-
zens represent. Such citizens give the
lie TO those who say that the National
Capital lacked civic patriotism. And their
interest is not only local, quick TO re-
spOnd TO every call Of public duty. but it
is national and international, and takes
hold Of the high and lasting things Of the
spirit
The whole community rejOices in the
honorable careers OF these men, careers
that show the heart of the republic is
still sound. and that the business world
Is not what il is sometimes represented
10 be. but that clean and honest success
is still 20 be won, and brings rewards
which could never come TO the selfish
and interruptions"
The other speeches were similar in vein.
