Supper was served at 7:30 withRembertS. Truluckgiv- ing the invocation. Mrs. R. P. Chapman, Ameri canism chairman of the Auxili ary spoke on “Americanism,Our Way of Life". She stated that Americanism means peace, strength, the will and courage to live as free men in a free land. It is a way of life, a challenge and a hope in this world of tur moil, yet a world of fearless courage, religious freedom, ho nest integrity, abiding faith in the commanding destiny of the United States, and a love for the principles which led our fore fathers to found this country and establish the Bill of Rights. This document on man’s rights guar antees every individual personal liberty and safety and the states their rights as states. The Americanism Theme for 1969-70 for the Auxiliary is “We, The People of the UnitedStates." How priviledged the person who can say it! Americanism is basi cally a way of living and earning a living based on the broad wiU of the people. It takes miUions of people and hard work to keep Americanism flourishing. Our freedom can be protected and preserved only by the individual efforts of each of us. Mrs. Chap man closed saying “The Ameri can way continues to work as long as We, the people continue to MAKE it work! Lt. Col. Henry Cronic, pro gram chairman of the Legion pre sented two films. The first, “An American Legend” which de picts some of the highlights of the Legion’s first 50 years, E- frem Zimbalist, Jr. star of the Warner Bros. TV Show, is the narrator on the film. The second film was of “The Gift to the Nation Dedication" and other activities of the Gold en Anniversary Celebration, March 1969, held in Washington. The high point of the Golden Anniversary Celebration was the presentation of the Legion’s “Gift to the Nation", the permanent lighting installation at the Tomb of the Unkowns in Arlington Na tional Cemetery. Until then, the Tomb had not been lighted. President Richard M. Nixon accepted the gift on behalf of the American people at the Le gion’s Banquet to the U.S. Con gress in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Park Hotel in Wash ington. President Nixon and Le gion National Commander Wil liam C. Doyle (N.J.) jointly pressed a remote control switch to actuate the lighting system. The donations from individual Legionaires, Posts, Units and in terested persons, more than 80,000 in number, met the total cost of the permanent lighting project which includes pertetual maintenance of the system. The lighting system was installed at a cost of more than $164,000. The film of the dedication and activities of the Washington con ference jointly sponsored by The American Legion and Pan Ameri can World A irways. Another feature of the con ference was the issuance by the U.S. Post Office on March 5 of a 6-cent commemorative postage stamp in honor of the Legion’s 50 years of service to the com munity, state and nation.
