Following is the text OF the
address delivered last FRIDAY
night at the Riviera Supper ciup
at a dinner opening the drive
for 100000 for a Kennewlck
community hospital: A.
"Mr. master of ceremonies, MI.
mavor, fellow CITIZENS of Kenne.
wick. Are you for the hospital
for YOU in Kennewick? The ans
wer is obvious by your presence
here this evening. And with TINS
answer, a great opportunity ana
a major responsibility is on your
shoulders. l feel honored at be-
inc. asked to be with you TINS
evening. for together we are now
embarking on one of the great
undertakings of our lives,
"You are a select group. You
are and YOU represent, the lead
ing citizens of Kennewick and
its surrounding area. You have
gained this reputation by your
past actions and deeds, not by
words alone. You have been the
pioneers who developed this
area from small village to the
small city it is today, and to the
great city it is going to become.
You are the builders of its homes,
its businesses, its fine schools
and parks - but more import
ant, you are the builders of the
spirit of progrr IS which is MAX
ing Kennewick the fastest de-
veloping city in the state.
Z. There are many reasons for
the existance of a city. Some
cities owe their existence to To-
cation as ports for foreign trade,
such as New York, London, San
Francisco and Seattle: some owe
it to location on rivers and in.
land rail centers, as st. Louis
and Cincinnati; some owe it to
great natural resources, to pow
er or to other factors. And some
cities owe their greatness to the
people in them.
eve have been given a golden
opportunity to make Kennewick
a great city, and from the work
of this group and the other re-
sponsible citizens of Kennewick,
we know we shall succeed.
Tonight should like to tell
you the story of one city that be-
came great. 1t did not have great
natural resources. 1t did not have
wonderful rail facilities. 1t was
300 miles from the closest water
transportation facilities. But to.
day it is city known through.
out the world for what it has
done. That city is Dallas, Texas
1t started with just one thing -
the will of the people that Dial.
las was going to become a city,
The story was recently told in
Readers Digest, and ] shall moi
repeat the details here. But the
reason Dallas is a city today, i!
that the people worked for il
and put their strength, theil
energy and their money into the
idea it would become a city
They took as their motto - Il
the project is good for Dallas
we are for it.
