‘.It is teamwork, the willingness to
do the job thoroughly that makes for
success,” Gen. Danielson told the
power company employees. “Without
teamwork and cooperation of every
person in your organization, you could
not produce the power to turn a
wheel. Nor could you have perfected
the security plan in recognition of
which we have gathered here today.”
"It is no more than right that we
should give formal recognition to a
chievcments on the home front,” Gen
eral Danielson said. “What you are
to receive here today is a commend
ation or citation for a definite con
tribution to victory. This meritorious
accomplishment reflects the effect
iveness of your joint efforts to reach
the highest standards of protection;
first, to prevent injury or death to

your employees and fellow workers,
and second, to safeguard production,
services and property.”
General Danielson emphasized the
importance of legislics which he said
was simply the art of moving men,
weapons and supplies to the right
point in sufficient quantities to win
battles.
“Not one of those moves could be
made,-’ he said, “until adequate elec
tric power was provided. So every
power plant is in the very first line
of our supply program. That’s why
a high degree of efficiency must be
maintained in our war plants, and to
do it, both workers and plant require
care and protection. You have done
an outstanding job in that connect-j
ion.”
Teamwork also was emphasized by
J. E. Davidson who expressed himself
as feeling great pride, but no surprise
that the employees of his company
had sualified for this award.
“When the war crisis came,” Da
vidson said, “our company went all
out for victory. Protection of our
company’s property against impair
ment of electric service to war indus
tries was one of their important \yar
duties.”
Paying tribute to all American in
dustries and the American system of
free enterprise and individual initiat
ive as important factors in speeding
the day of Victory, Davidson saluted,
the 158 company employees serving
in the armed forces, and pledged con
tinuance of those remaining on the
home front to back them up by pro-'
viding the best possible electric serv
ice for war industries and civilian
needs.
“The National Security Award will
be a treasured memento of our ef
forts in helping to win the victory
in this war for defense of our hom
es, the preservation of the American
way of life, and restoration of jus
tice and freedom in the world,” he
said.
ation and talent for leadership that
has characterized his other civic la
bors in Omaha.
“Leadership is what we expect of
the power company because we always
have had it,” Fogarty said, adding
that many in the audience were fam
iliar to him because so many employ
ees of the power company have work
ed with him in numerous civic act
ivities.
“But best of all,” Fogarty con
cluded, “you have done your jobs
well and delivered the power which
has enabled other Americans to build
more than 100 thousand airplanes and
20 million tons of shipping a year,
and to increase American croduction
six times and step up deliveries to
the armed services seventeen times in
two years.”
Warning that the job was not done
until the war is won, he expressed
confidence that no Nebraska Power
company employee will “for one
minute relax the vigilance that has
won for you the National Security
Award.”

"This award is both rare and dif
ficult to get," Frank Fogarty, who
compared it with the Army-Navy E
award in the wrar production field and
in a small way, to decorations given
to soldiers.
"No one of us would presume to
put ourselves in a class with the men
bearing the brunt of battle, yet you, ^
too, are soldiers, and are being dec-;
orated as good soldiers of production
and service. Fogarty said.
He complimented the Nebraska
Power Company as one of the major
factors in securing war industries in
this area, such as the Martin Bomber
plant, ordnance plant and others, all
of whom first asked about the local
power supply. Always the reply has
been: ‘The Power is here’, Fogarty
said.
The services of J. E. Davidson as
organizer and head of the Omaha
civilian defense organization also
brought praise from Fogarty. “To
this job,” Fogarjy said, “Mr. David
