Platitudes flow. Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, Patrick Henry, and Jefferson are quoted. For speakers bold enough to break with this tradition, we suggest the examination of a speech written by Merle Thorpe, editor of SERVICE Magazine, for the July issue. Theme—“The Eagle or the Oyster?” For a people . . . who elect opportunism rather than opportunity, who dream of security rather than success; who believe political charity is a virtue; who mock the frugal and plunder the thrifty; who adopt the rule that if 1 don’t succeed you are to blame, that what you have is as much mine as yours; who contend that property is a shameful sign of success: who whimper that failure is the nobler cause; well-being is wicked; prudence, out-of-date; sacrifice silly— for such a people a fitting em blem is the Oyster. For a people . . . who faced nature in the raw, with privation the rule and hardihood a virtue: who endured defeat, disease and disaster for a hundred years in order to get a foothold on the Eastern Sea board, the while with one eye on the interior, a no-man’s land, a cockpit for settling international rivalries and private grudges, disputed by wild animals and wilder redmen; who sacrificed thus for a belief in the worth and dignity of the indi vidual; who believed that economic free dom was as important as political freedom; * who substituted “In God We Trust,” for the Old World motto “In Government We Trust”; for a nation built by men who dedicated their lives to achieve the realization of these beliefs, I give you, fellow citizens— the Eagle!
