For critical products on areas, such as in
Detroit the Arsenal of Democracy, the government
has rightly declared work in the food industry
ESSENTIAL WAR WORK. The job of feeding the
and who build for Victory is THE
Number One ESSENTIAL JOB in Americas War
effort. Consider the chaos and confusion and utter
collapse in this great industrial market if our food
stores, and industrial caterers suddenly
failed to function! 1t won't happen here Just so
long as there strong and willing hands of men
and women, such as these in our food industry,
periodically WORKING IN SUPPORT OF THE
WAR EFFORT.

graduates Tuesday night by DR..
Walter F.. Dexter, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, who
delivered a brilliant commencement
address on the theme of graduates
at work in world of war.
Pointing out that his generation
had tried to make the world safe
for democracy, but, in spite of sim
cere efforts, had not achieved that
goal, DR.. Dexter pointed out that
the future of the world lies in the
hands of the young people of to-
day and that they must succeed in
doing what his generation had at
tempted at the end of the last war
The world of the future will be
one compact neighborhood as a re-
suit of the rapid development of the
airplane and it will be as easy to
carry the American spirit of friend
ship and cooperation to all parts of
the known world as it is at present
to carry bombs, he said.

AMERICAN TRUTHS

In planning the world of the fu-
ture, DR.. Dexter declared, re-em-
phasis must be placed on the simple
truths of America, the fundamental
principles which are the foundation
of American civilization.
These four principles he stated
as:
I'VE reserve to ourselves the right
to employ ourselves.
I'VE reserve to ourselves the right
| to educate ourselves.
I'VE reserve the right to speak
our minds.
I'VE reserve the right to govern
ourselves"
In conclusion he said to the grad
rates; "As you attempt to solve the
problems of the world you can find
no better way that to present the
inalienable rights of the citizens
of the United States of America to
! all the peoples of the world. Science
, and education are controlled by
character and character comes from
these rights. Freedom is not in
herited, it is a quality of the soul"
