Coe Praises Spirit,
 Unity Of Co-Workers
WhOIehearted Cooperation Pledged in Saving Earth'S
 Last Best Hope"

Address of Chairman John A. Coe of the board of directors of the American Brass Company was ps follows:
 Captain Henderson:
 The purpose for which you came to Connecticut makes possible a very suspicious occasion for the thousands of employees of the larg- est copper and rbass fabricating unit in the world The American Brass Co. a subsidiary of the Ana conda Copper Mining Company.
 There is no doubt in my mind but that those of our employees gath cred here, as well as those in our various mills and offices in Connec- ticut. in Buffalo, Detroit and Keno- 'shA and even in the Dominion of Canada have c0operated to the fullest extent in Rll that We have done, and we are happy to tell you that this appreciation of our work will surely further stimulate and increase our efforts, It is my plea- sure to accept for my fellow workers this great recognition os 8 job well done,
 One realizes inst responsibility Is not just Q question of doing work ln e routine sort Of way-lt means 2 great deal more; it means that we all must approach 0uF jobs with deep sense Of duty and enthusiasm, and Wlth the thought continually before us that we must dc the very best we can ct oil times. ot course all og this applies under normal conditions, but nov tn the face Of the conflict we have been drawn intO, lt Is imperative that every one og us should put hls heart and soul .EiGo the undertaking before him, Tor as Abraham Lincoln salds either we shall nobly save or gneanly lose siae last best hope Of Earth.
 Regardless of the character af the work Which you miay be performing each 0g you ls making 6 real conlgis butlon to the tremendous task that HnnkF0nta eslg Allied Nations,

the presentation of the ''E" at An- sonia. Everyone in these parts has heard of American Brass, know what you have accomplished. I sort of think that the folks in Tokio and Berlin ought to hear about you too. Perhaps they will before long.
 Congratulatory messages were read at Ansonia by Roy s. Wildman, company vice-president.
 At each of the three ceremonies, President Clark S. Judd read Secre- tary of Navy Knox's letter and inc troduced Congressman Talbot. The Fulton American Band of Water bury played patriotic selections and employees were led in singing "The Star -Spangled Banner" by Miss Dorothy L. Chrisman.
 The "E" pennant can be flown for a six-months period, when permis- sion to fly it another six months may be given. Employees "E" but tons can be worn permanently.
 The American Brass Company's Waterbury plant is the third here to receive the "E", the award having gone earlier to the Waterbury Tool Company and the Chase Brass and Copper Company. Only three other plants in the state have been thus honored.

I am frank to say to you, Captain Henderson. that you and your associates in the Navy can count on the Wholehearted coopera- ton of every individual in this com pany to do his or her part in our share of the great task that has been entrusted to American indust- ".
 It is a credit to you workers and D the officers and members of the International Union of Mine, Mill, and SInelter Workers whose coop eratiop with Management has made 1t possible to fulfill the demands O. thN Navy and other branches of the Government without any interrup- ton of schedules.
 Notwithstanding what has been done, we realize that our job is far from completed, We are confident of the final outcome because we kaow what sort of stuff free men and women are made Of. There are wonderful examples of 1t every day ln battles, on land, on sea, in the air; iD factories and offices, Whei e the greatest army of workers in the history of this country Is forging the tools that will eventually make this world a better place in which to live.
 And so, just before we accept the full responsibility which the Navy " award stands foT, and raise the pennant over this plant, want every individual in this company 10 know how much the Directors and Officers Of the Anac0nda Copper Mining Company and The Anleri- can BFass Company appreciate your splendid teamwork.

 She outlined briefly the excellent work negroes had done in the American Revolution, in the Civil War, in the Spanish-American war, and in the first World war. As a shining example of negro coopera- ton she pointed out Joe Louis who had donated $83 LOGO as his share of the purses for his bouts with Buddy Baer and Abe Simon. More than six million employable negroes are ready to work or to be trained to work in the war industries.

Frederick the 0reot S
 Brought Prussia to Power WHEN Adolf Hitler made Aus " tria a province of the Third Reich in 1888, it marked an achievement Frederick the Great, Prussian emperor, never dreamed possible.
 Frederick, pictured on the stamp above, issued in 1926, labored un- ceasingly to make Germany a great European power. He, like Hitler, brought Prussia into war. The Seven Years War (1756-1763) saw virtually the entire continent allied against Frederick's armies.
 Prussia was exhausted and nearly ruined by the conflict but at the end of the war was recog- nized as one of the great powers In Europe. Thereafter it was in- evitable that a struggle for domi- nance should arise between Aus tria and Germany, with the small- CT Germanic states grouped around one or the other.
 In early life Frederick had no taste for war. He acquired a lik- ing for literature, learned French and Latin in defiance of his father, and even despised the German language. He determined to marry an English princess.
 His father, stern Frederick William I, detested his sons ef- terminate leanings. He forced Frederick to break with the Princess Amelia and made the eETl- peror-to-be work long hours over minor, tedious tasks. Tutors dinned the military arts into Frederick, with the result that Germany soon had a strong army and Prussianism became synony- Snous with war.
