At Memorial Senrice
Colorful Program Held
At Municipal Siadium
roUowing pig FarBcle
Mayor William P. Glaeken gave
the piinoipal address at the colorful
Memorial Day exercises held In the
Munlcipttl Stadium Monday morn­ing.
He was ptesented by Saosuel D.
Gerber. chairman of the Memorial
Day committee ana p^nd marshal
of the parade that preceded the
cereiDonleB.
The Mayor first referred to thp
men and women who have made the
supreme sacrlfloe In the various
wars down to and inoludlag the
hostilities In Korea, aaylug that
among Ujem were numerous Free-port
residents.
"Our remembrance must be of
the present as well as of the past."
he continued. "And so we keep in
mind the fact that there are forces
abroad In this world of ours that
would strip us of our rights. These
forces are mallgnanUy determined
to substitute for the free govern­ment
of our people s system based
on deceit and oppression and cruel­ty.
And so we remember that we
must be really to meet the hard
.jreaMlisr.lKftjlioWont us with the
^ rasie .determittstioii' i u i i ~2e^ th^t
dlsttoguteh^^Tlfeitefe wMom'wa.itHiaor

**We are face to face with a simple
fact. That is that a powerful group
of persons -exists who deny the dig­nity
of man and the sanctity of
God. Its aim Is to substitute the
mlBhty force of a political machine
for the freedom we enjoy under
our Constitution. In the face of this
Implacable force we need more than
ever to realize the things we are
called upon to do to preserve the
heritage that Is ours. *
•'We need to see to It, then, that
the rights guaranteed by our form
_of_fovemmcnt are observed. That
~we~Brant to others the same right
of freedom of speech, freedom of
thoughti freedom of protest and
freedom of religious observance that
we desire for ourselves. Then let
us remember that with every rl!;ht
-we enjoy there ^oes a duty to ob­serve,
That duty seems to be stnipJn
" and unquesMbnsble. It Is merely
that we ilve the best that W in uc
tol. the cause of the gevemment
laidet; which we Uve.iAs eitlssens of
a" republic, we- must take part In tlitj
republic's aiffatrB. Por-if we do-iwt—
If we avoid our duty and l«ave to
others the things that are our con­cern—
we will no longer hitve a
democracy bilt another form of gov­ernment.
We wUl no longer niJei j , , . ^ - . . , . , .,
ourselves, but we wUl be raled byip%;>,;.:;
