If, in the course of this year, I seemed to have neglected some things which were of particular interest tc you, I want you to know that they were not sighted, but that, true tc the traditions of our organization we took our program in the order that it was arranged for us by the National Executive Committee.

Our department conventions are becom- ing bigger and better, which proves that our enthusiasm has not suf- fered with the lapse of time. No, sir, watch the boys tand the gals tool showing the old-time pep when they meet at these yearly el- bowrubbing parties of ours.
 Which leads to the conclusion that The American Legion has not yet reached its zenith, and that our worthwhile program of construc- tive work in behalf of community State and Nation is going to go forward for a long time to come. And that, I submit. is a good omen for our nation.

zion year which so shortly will begin, let us adopt and adhere to a balanced program, and if we should consider new roads to be travelled, let us be sure that way is the right way, measuring every step we take by the infallable yardstick of the general welfare of our country. That our personal welfare as individuals is limited strictly by the general welfare is undebatable. As our coun- try progresses, so may we progress, and if it should suffer, so must we, as citizens, suffer likewise.
 It has been a real pleasure and an honor to serve you this year. Of the things we have accomplished, I am

 Urges Balanced Program
 If there should be any one sug- gestion which might offer you, it is that you will be temperate n your judgment and balanced in your program. The American Le- zion has many important duties to perform; it is not one-track or ganization. Prejudice and unreason- ing passion often may carry the best of people off on a tangent which can lead but to oblivion. Our pri- mary interests must continue to be child welfare, rehabilitation, Am- ericanism based primarily upon the sure foundation of youth improve ment activities. law and order, highway safety, national defense, community service and world peace.
 The American Legion ever has given intensive consideration to the danger of subversive interests within our borders; I hope that we ever shall. It is as true now as when it was said many years ago, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We shall keep vigilant against those influences which would destroy or overthrow our form of government by force or violence, we shall con- tinue to insist that in necessary in- Struction about other forms of gov- ernment, there shall be no trace of indoctrination.
 See Where We Are Going
 At the same time, my comrades, let us be sure that we see where we are going, let us not blindly tres- pass upon those sacred American rights we % properly defend. The world progresses, America with it. We must be sure that in our zeal to protect that which we have, we do not stand in the path of orderly progress. Never has the sun shone upon a greater or nobler democracy than our own: for one am not afraid to have it stand up for com parison with any government on this earth. am not afraid that it will suffer by such comparison. nor that our people will desire to dis card it.
 It is well that we should give thought to the immediate present. but not at the cost of neglecting the future. Our country will be just what our children and their chil- dren make it. Your time and my time is comparatively short. our children's lives and their opportuni- ties are just beginning. If Ameri- canism, as The American Legion understands 1t, means anything at all, it surely means the promotion and furtherance of our great youth activities program-our junior base ball work, our efforts in behalf of better education, our support of the Boy Scouts of America, the Sons of The American Legion and all of those other big things we are doing for youth in our Americanism pro- gram. There lies our opportunity: let no other consideration over- shadow it.
 The Right Way
 So again I say, in the new Le-

tom of my heart, can honestly tell you that shall ever remember this year, when it has been my great pleasure, my high honor to serve you as your elected leader Your loy- alty and your support will ever be source of pride to me, and when, few weeks hence. return again to the ranks, shall know how to be that same kind of Legionnaire.
