The newly elected delegate has
seen SO years as Government EN-

lied he became a charter mem

The Motor Carrier folk have Sc
lected Janus, the god of begin
nings, as their patron, and pre-
sent a message from him;
81 am Janus, the god of be-
ginnings. You can call me two
faced if you will but at least /
am hOneSt-I wear 'em both at
the same time and you can take
your choice. If you set your
gaze upon the past-upOn out
worn TRADITION, you'll frOwn,
too, as 1 do in my left face. But
If you look forward, you'll smile
like my right face, at the prog
ress you see out in the future.
NV right face symbOlizes the
spirit of Motor Carriers Lodge
No. 349-the spirit of PROG
RESS. Just Truckin',' which
hereby has its beginning, is an
evidence of that spirit"
