 Judge Frank P. McEvoy, who was presented the list of candidates, addressed the gathering, stressing tho rights and duties of citizenship.
 Explaining the meaning of the oath of allegiance the jurtst stated, There is nothing in that oath which calls upon you to give up the thoughts of pleasant memories or associations in the other countries. You should retain the thoughts of the best things in the countries from which you came, but from this moment on through the remainder of your lives you will in every pos- Iible way undertake to support and defend the constitution of the Uni- ted States and all for which 1t stands
 He continued, 'The constitution was drawn up after months of dis- eussion and deliberation, and when 1t seemed that it would not be pos sible to agree on the terms, one of the veteran members called upon everyone to kneel down and pray for divine guidance, and they d!d that, and we think they got it." He said that by terms of that Consti- tuition and its amendments and the Sill of Rights, all citizens of this country and all nationals have the full, free, and unchallenged right 70 the freedoms for which our peo- sle are now fighting in foreign ands."
 In concluding his address, Judge NcEvoy stated that one simple way In which the new citizens could taow appreciation of their privileges k by contributing generously to the Red Cross.
