"I be hove, as I always have believed that you control the moat powerful instru ment in the world for good or evil. . "Hecausc I was working before most of you were born. I um going to bore you with a little advice. Re member thut you are servants of the public and do not let the desire for money or power prevent you from giv ing the public the best work of which you are capable. "It is not the quantity of riches that counts; It's the quality which produces happiness, where that is possible. " The inventor was lauded by Will Hays, Hudson Maxim, Geo.
