niversary of the crucial battle be-
tween the Monitor and the Merri-
mac in Hampton Roads, it is my
great honor and privilege to pay
homage to John Ericsson by plac-
ing a wreath of beautiful flowers
at the foot of his statue.
We assemble here today at this
statue which was erected in Wash
ington by grateful Nation as a
tribute to great son of Sweden
The life story of John Ericsson is
a superb illustration of the con-
tribution which European ma
tionals have made to the success
of America. This great man is a
product of great people Born
in the mountains of Sweden in
humble circumstances July 81,
1903, he grew to sturdy manhood.
At an early age there was a clear
indication that he had an unusual
talent and brain power. He mi
grated to England in 1926, where
he advanced ideas which led to
the development of the wonders
of his age. There he became an
associate in a reputable and we'll
known engineering firm. He pre-
ferred to be known as an engineer
rather than an inventor although
the creative instinct in him was
very strong. The development of
steam power intrigued him, and
within year of his arrival he had
begun breathtaking improvements
of boilers and engines. He designed
and built the fire engine and de-
veloped the screw propeller for
marine use. It was this latter in
vention which brought him to
America in 1889. In his effort to
interest the Federal Government
in this method of navigation, he
began constructing propeller boats
on the Great Lakes and even
started a fleet of boats between

hostile fleet at Norfolk. More in
desperation than in confidence, the
Union accepted his offer and in
due time a fantastic looking
cheeseboX mounted on a raft
steamed into Hampton Roads the
very morning the Confederate
ironclad Virginia reconstructed
from the Merrimac) began the de-
struction of 16 Federal warships
stationed there. Four of these YES
sells were badly damaged and
driven ashore, causing further con-
sternation among the Federal
authorities. Then the miracle hap
pened.
On March 9 the ironclad Merri-
mac started out to complete the
destruction of the northern fleet,
but was challenged Immediately
by EricsSons cheeseboX, the Moni-
tor. In a terrific battle of 4 hours
duration, the Monitor suffered no
iiihlSiidi CciliiuSN, puI Tic Nltl i
mac was so used up that she never
ventured to battle again. John Err
lesson had doomed the convention
al wooden navies of the world in
one fell swoop by this new, radical
designed fighting craft, and the
Union was saved.
AS we place this wreath at the
foot of the statue of John Ericsson,
we see only a block away the
magnificent marble memorial to
Abraham Lincoln the most
beautiful and expressive edifice
in Washington, standing there
guarding all that is good in Amer
lea. 1t is fitting these two monu-
ments should be such close neigh
bors. Abraham Lincoln and John
Ericsson were not only contempor-
aries, but they had very much in
common. Neither had the oppor-
tunity of formal education, out
each, through patient self-instruc-
ton, reached the educational
heights.
John Ericsson was honest and
true in every fiber of his rugged
body. He hated sham and make
believe with all his soul. Stern, yes;
unbending, yes; precise, yes; and
a great engineer, to be sure; but
loyal and considerate and kind to
the last degree - that is John
Ericsson. All the world may pay
tribute to him, for he was indeed
citizen of the world.

John Ericsson Day Observed
In Washington And New York

NEW YORK, March 1O-John
Ericsson Day was observed in
Washington, DC, on March 9, the
date in 1852 on which the "Moni-
tor" defeated the Confederate
iron-clad 'Merrimac.' Senator Ed
win c. Johnson, of Colorado, who
is of Swedish extraction, placed a
wreath at the John Ericsson Monu-
ment in Potomac Park and told
of Captain Ericsson's contributions
to the northern cause in the Civil
War Minister Alexis Aminoff,
representing the Swedish Embas-
sy, also spoke. Music was fur
nished by the United States Naval
band Among those present was
Rear Admiral Charles E. Rosen-
dahl, president of the John Err
lesson Society in New York.
In the State of New York, Gov
ernor Thomas e. Dewey desig-
mated March 9 as John Ericsson
Day. In his proclamation he said
that Ericsson designed the "Moni-
tor" at a time when the "Merri-
mac" was "a formidable naval
peril" to the Union forces.

Baltimore and Philadelphia. Next
he built a small steamboat named
the Princeton which was the first
man-of-War ever to be equipped
with a screw propeller and the
added innovation of having the
machinery placed below the water
line and out of reach of shot and
shell. This vessel revolutionized
naval vessels and became the
foundation of the navies of the
modern world
l like to think of John Ericsson
as a citizen of the world, for he
was precisely that. Even so, never
did he lag in his devotion to his
native Sweden. 1t grieved him to
have Swedish commentators criti-
cize him for becoming a natural
lied citizen of America His love
for Sweden was so passionate and
so deep-rooted that he would not
tolerate the slightest hint of such
charge. He stated: II am so
thoroughly a Swede that / could
never turn away from Sweden if
I would"
The question is often pondered
as to why America has become
great while other nations have
barely held their own. Many other
nations have great natural re-
sources, too; many had start of
centuries on America; then why
has this country made such phe-
nomenal progress? John Ericsson
and the tens of thousands OF John
Ericssons who migrated to Ameri-
ca in the past 800 years from
every nation in Europe is the only
acceptable answer.
Proud America must never for
get the debt she owes to the in
trepid pioneers who underwent
every sort of hardship and priva-
ton to reach these shores and
who, after reaching them, fought
the good fight to the end. I do not
wish to speak of John Ericsson
in generalities altogether. He was
distinctly a unique parsonage of
superior qualifications. His en-
cheering genius and capacity to
deal with difficult problems served
this Nation in a vital way during
the War between the States. The
South had developed an ironclad
ram that would drive the North
off the seas and even threatened
to subject New York City to at
tack. The South was filled with
high hope, and the North was
filled with dismay and fearful ap-
prehension due to this phenomenal
naval development.
Into this frightful crisis stepped
John Ericsson and his engineering
skill and creative resourcefulness.
He wrote to President. Lincoln
offering to construct a vessel in
100 days that would destroy the

Sanitation Authorities
Crack Down On
DairYmen, PeddIers

Following the receipt of nut
merous complaints over the
past several months, Santa
ton authorities began crack
ing down on dairy owners and
peddlers of milk this morning.
Plans had been carefully laid
and Sanitation Inspectors Wis
tied the several diaries to see
whether or not the sanitation
laws were being complied
with.
Turning their attention to
peddlers after inspecting the
diaries, the Inspectors, assisted
by Patrolmen, took up posi-
tons at the two entrances to
Christiansted Town at an early
hour. Several unlicensed per-
sons were caught. Inspection Of
containers revealed dirt and
other unsanitary conditions,
including the use of a varied
assortment of cans for dipping
up milk.
Authorities saw for them
selves some of the conditions
mentioned in the Lighthouse
column of the Avis over a year
ago, when discarded Kim and
Nedo cans were being used to
fill bottles, during which time
the milk flows over the hand
of the peddler and back into
the container. Even the per-
sonal cleanliness of some re-
quires attention.
The reports on the diaries
were turned over to the Act
ing Chief Municipal Physi-
clan. No drastic action is plan
ned Immediately; however, all
will be requested to take steps
to comply to the requirements
