paration for the more important
positions in life. 1t is in these
children in whom the parents see
the lruition OF ideals they them
selves have not been able to
attain.
This is the race which presents
fathers and mothers who have
sacrificed their all in the further
ance of their children's education,
their health and their future. The
modest means OF these parents
often strained to the breaking
point to accomplish for their
children that which to them was
denied only to make the future
Of their offspring more pleasant
and their life more carefree and
easy and in the end. the fulfill
ment OF their vision reality.
Here again. then. is that will.
that indomitable will. the infusion
Of which we hope will carry thru
the succeeding generations.
To speak OF accomplishments it
is well at this time to mention
but few OF the many monu-
ments erected by the toll and pre-
severence OF this race in our coun-
try. Let us say material accom-
plishments. First in heart and
mind of course is our Central
Alliance of Trahsylvanian Sax
ons whose convention your fair
city is honoring today. An organ
ization OF almost 5000 adult men,
bers and approximately 1900 ju-
venile members. altogether hav-
ing assets OF over a million dol
lars. This is an organization fra
ternal in type yet of sufficient
scope to embrace all the Saxons

members as a whole.
In religious affairs our people

iample Accommodations were erect
ed until now practically every
town with any sizeable Saxon in
filtration can proudly claim a
House of God their own where
they and their children may wor-
ship and derive therefrom the
benefits that accrue from we'll di-
rected religious practices. Various
juvenile branches OF the Alliance
and church groups are perform
ing splendid service in education
nal and religious endeavor. and
by devious ways and means pre-
pare their members to become
useful and respected citizens OF
this country and credit to their
trace.
To speak OF individual success
and attainments is to repeat the
names OF those who have bccorle
our leaders OF today and our in
SEPARATION for tomorrow. Suffice il
to say that hardly a single busi-
ness. profession. or occupation
exists in which there are not some
of our members who have attained
enviable records. From the com
mOnest OF laborers to the bank
erS. attorneys and engineers our
representatives are achieving a
unique reputation a honest. indus,
trious and dependable workers.

periods OF continuous employment
are ample proof OF the esteem in
