The reader was tempted to so on in
search of marked passages, but fo1
lack of time, turned to the desk
again, and spent the few remaining
moments looking at other significant
books and papers. 4 volume called
Waste in Industry" 4 technical re-
port with recommendations, made by
a committee of eminent engineers
lay closest at hand. On the inside COW
er page was the following:
"As service to others is the expression
of the highest motive to which men re-
spond and as duty to contribute to the
public welfare demands the best efforts
men can put forth, NOW THEREFORE,,
the engineering and allied technical So
cieties of the United States of America,
through the formation of The Federated
American Engineering Societies, realize
a long cherished ideaI,-a comprehensive
organization dedicated to the service of
the community, state and nation"
Long research could hardly have af-
fOrded a better proof of the profess
siOnal spirit which backs such leaders
as Coleman du POnt.
AS the writer picked up a familiar
booklet Delaware State Highways, he
was reminded that there was no need
to go to Washington to get the big
gest story about Coleman du Pont.
That is a Delaware story well known
to all of us, written in the miles of
concrete road over which we now
travel daily, and the many miles of
similar roads yet to come.
