MIR. Morton said "There are two
words often on our lips which when
used sincerely never fail to enrich
the life Of every man. They are the
words welcome" and Goodbye"
The first is the portal through which
we enter into true hospitality. The
second the benediction which true
hospitality bestows upon the depart
ing guest. He quoted the motto "Old
Wood to burn: Old books to read;
Old friends to talk: Old tales to tell;
Old songs to sing" and stated that it
is bad symptom when people out
grow the friendships of their youth
full days. In reminiscent manner he
spoke of the village and townspeople
as he knew them 40 years ago, re-
calling familiar faces long gone, and
voices which have been hushed in
eternal silence. But not only do
you. who are present. greet us to-
Sether with the memory of those who
have passed on, but also the natural
beauties of the town beckon us back.
Every succeeding visit back home
aWakenS in me new appreciation of
the scenic beauties of the town." the
speaker said.
In conclusion he quoted the words
of famous poet,
Grow old along with me,
The best is yet to be.
The last for which the first was
made"
And expressed the wish that the
memories awakened by the gather

friendship and esteem"
