ers of our government believed that
this would happen. No one can feau
the history of the Constitution without
knowing that it was the BELIEF OF
those men who wrote that document
that it would continue to grow and de-
velop to suit the changing needs of
changing and growing nation. The
history of civilization has been his
tory of change and development.
Without change we would have no
nation! Without change there would
have been no Magma Charta, or no
Bill of Rights. Without change we
would still be slaves and there would
still be despots!
A Government for the People.
This is a time for sanity, time
for clear thinking, time when we
should be free from the influence OF
the demagogue and the propaganda.
1t is time, however, when we can
have confidence in our form of govern
ment and when We can look forward
to that time when we shall nave
solved these problems which now per-
pleX us and when this great and pro-
ductive nation may have within its
borders a happier and cOntented peo-
pie who have solved the problem
which has perplexed humanity since
the dawn of civilization, the problem
of INSTRUMENTATION we have abOl-
ished poverty,-when we have made
this nation a place where all men
may indeed have equal opportunity to
live a full and decent life,-then in
deed we shall have fulfilled the great
words of Lincoln in his Gettysburg
address, and experienced "a new birth
of freedom" and have a government
for the people"
"You may ask what did Lincoln
mean when he spoke of government
'for the people" 1t is my feeling that
he spoke of a government that was
willing to serve all of it's citizens and
was not government designed to
serve any class or group. That is
the government that will bring you
help in your present hour of distress!
That is the government to which you
can turn with hope and with conf
dence at this time.
81 again join with you in paying
tribute to these men who in times of
peril to this nation, have made that
sacrifice which has made it possible
for you today to live in a nation where
you can look forward with hope to a
| better future and better day, and to
live under a government which is a
government "for the people,"
Similar ceremonies in observance
| of Memorial day were held at var
| ious other places in the county in
| Guiding Willow River, Hinckley and
other communities.
