INKENTUCKY (Continued from page one.) of century and a half ago. On my Journey hither I have been reid lng once more of those thrilling day which saw the flrat peopling of th-3 lands beyond the mountains, and seized the perfect moment which des tiny offered to our forbears to create these United States. Illstorlral Spot. "ft seemed to me in reading history, that Harrodfiburg can lay claim to having been the scene of more hl tor'cal first things than any other spot I have ever known. It seems not enough that this delightful and historic place was the first permanent settlement well beyond the mountains, that here were the earliest pioneer , homes, that here came the first school teacher and the first doctor, that here was the first court In the west. To this you must ado many other firsts, the first corn raised In Ken tucky, the first peach-atones and ap ple seeds planted, the first whtat field, the first grist mlU and, per haps most Important of all, the firm spinning wheel. "That Is why I am happy that In addition to paying tribute to the memory of George Rogers Clark, w:.io led his men from here to his great Invasion and preservation of the in land empire to the United Statos, you are also honoring the men and women who made his expedition pas Elble and who followed him with che permanency of home building. Discovery Not All. "It haa come to be a generally ac cepted rule of civilized nations that mere discovery of new lands conveva no sovereignty, and. indeed, that mere conquest conveys but little better title It is, after all, only th- peo pling of the wilderness which gives permanency In the form of an or dered society. "There Is a very definite analogy between those days and ours. Upon the pioneers of these great stretches of the central west were forced new activities because of the circum-! stances of their surroundings. Th?y were compelled to hew out a new path, a path that was dependent not on the axe and the rifle alone, out upon their ability to govern them selves in new ways as well.

Pioneers of 11)34. "I have called us who are here today 'Pioneers of 1934. I mean everything that the word 'pioneer' implies. We, too. In these latter years throughout the length and breadth of our land have come to a realiza tion of the pregnant fact that the j accustomed order of our formerly ea- tablUhed Uvea does not suffice to1 meet tha perils and the problems which we- are compelled to face. Again, were survival calls for new pioneer ing on our part. "Some portion of the blood of the colonists and the blood of the ploneeia who worked their way. through the generations, across the mountains fti'd across tha plains and again across the mountain until they came to the Pacific, that blood is present in very large part in the veins of mil lions of our people. More than that, the example and the spirit of these earlier Americans Is present in the mind and the heart of all our popu lation. Mill Hewlnjr. "We are carrying on. we shall carry on, the purposes of these men ar.d women of Harrodsburg. They were hewing out a commonwealth and I like that word 'commonwealth.' "We, too, are hewing out a com monwealth a commonwealth of the states, which we hope will give to Its people more truly than any that has gone before, the fulfillment of secur ity, of freedom, of opportunity and of happiness which America asks and is entitled to receive." 27- Turkey Growers Attention!
