The wheels of produqtic arc humming all over the lapd t an answer--to the challengethose who say that free men cai not do as much voluntarily as ca ranks of regimented robots wl work or rest at the nod of a ma ter. Labor Day is a typically Ante ican institution, bearing no rese blance to the "labor days" obsei ed in Europe before the war. is not a "class" day, drawing di tinotions between a 'downtroddc 'lower class" and a thin uppe crust of leisured and privilege Individuals. It is not a day < protest aguinst conditions as the Ev, ore. It is, instead, a day wht thp nntinn ;>? j> tvhnlo rintw h?ni E/*~ to those who labor. And that ii t: cltfdes virtually. every one of u regardless of 'fcfitss, orCed or co r or. This country was founded r the theory that a nation could 1 welded^ out of materials from a over -titie world. The elder natiot owed iheir origins to grouping < various pdbples of the same slot k or tongue for protective purpo es, r to wars of conquest, whei a dominant group seized pow< ^ and asainulaUakor Overlorded 111 p- nority factions. Not so America. For the mo: part this nation was Founded n hard work, for it took labor < all kinds to carve a nation out < t virgin wilderness, to make rou< through trackless forests, to cro: I'. mighty rivers, to find passes thr I? the snow crowned mountai heights and to subjugate a cot R*- "~tineiit. It was labor that clears lands, and built townships, cltu ir termor around those torerunnei of civilized life, the church an the schoolhouse. 1 Our aiisfocrncy has always bee made up from those whose wor r was good, and who by their Ti bor of body and mind made easic and better the paths of those wh followed. Our scorn Jias alway been for the idler, for the mfl ?'ho took advantage of whu others had done, without contr buting either of hand or brain t the common? welfare The me and women whom we have chpsc to honor have been those?no mat ter front what group they camewho have worked hard add don most for the common erood. For this reason Labor Day i not a day set apart for any on group but a day which all ma celebrate. We have learned tha nnlu those thintrs which are earn if ed are* enduring, that thefc is ? ImC for efffh hiu! every one ? [ us. Knowing this, let us on thi K^jX^bor Day in the year of on f/p to, the task .set before us, and s Me- Wbf that ira may pans on to th F. gsxt generation a nation Tiefte ? and stronger for our huvirtg live.
