the FTaternnl Order Of Eagles. now the largest haneft paying fratsrnal organization in America, owes it's huge growth to its humanitarian creed and the working for social and economic betterment, Mir. Gid- ley stated.
 Great Melting Pot
 "The Fraternal order of Eagles is Q great melting pot" Akr. 0idley stated. with the exception of the churches, 1t is the greatest instru- mentality for good in the United States, Within our walls flows the blood stream of every nation which fought in Europe, and yet the group have lived together in peace, con- tentment and happiness. If the world had learned to live together, as have our members, there would have been no flaming airplanes or men lmpaled on bayonets."
 Citing the role of the Eagles in pioneering for and achieving state old age pensions, social security, workmen's compensation and moth- CTS pensions laws, the speaker urged extension or social security, as pro- posed in pending congressional leg- islation, SO all Americans may be protected from an impoverished old age. He urged congressman to sup- port pending legislation to include agricultural, household, hospital and seasonal workers in the Social Sc. curity System.
