oppose me, and then I'm happy. I hope all of you
have jobs these days If you haven't you will
I'm very optimistic about this great country of

activities of our land. We've had a little scare.

personal about such things, but you know what

sales aren't turning out very well And a good
thing IT IS. too
Chancellor Day then advised his hearers to strive
TO get rich and great they could. There's
