WASHINGTON Srf ANDARD METALS CORPORATION February 27, 1976

We now mark the beginning of our Third Century as an Independent Nation as well as the 200th Anniversary of the American Revolution. For two centuries our Nation has grown, changed and flourished. A diverse people, drawn from all corners of the earth, have joined together to fulfill the promise of democracy.

America's Bicentennial is rich in history and in the promise and potential of the years that lie ahead. It is about the events of our past, our achievements, our traditions, our diversity, our freedoms, our form of government and our continuing commitment to a better life for all Ameri cans. The Bicentennial offers each of us the opportunity to join with our fellow citizens in honoring the past and preparing for the future in communities across the Nation. Thus, in joining together as races, nationalities, and individuals, we also re tain and strengthen our traditions, back ground and personal freedom.

As we lay the cornerstone of America's Third Century, I encourage all our citizens to join in making this great national celebration as memorable and meaningful as possible. • Base Metals Producer

WASHINGTON

February 20, 1976

To the Members of the Women's National Republican Club:

Thank you for this opportunity to share some thoughts on our Bicentennial.

I like to think of our Bicentennial as high ground from which we can see not only how far we have traveled, but where we are heading.

As our great heritage gives us a foundation for building a greater America, so the accelerating pace of change in the world today offers us an un precedented opportunity to help shape the future for the benefit of all mankind.

Indeed, we are living in what may well be the most exciting moment in modern history -- a moment for optimism and faith in the future, a moment in which we can develop a new sense of purpose as a Nation.

Sincerely,

MRS. GERALD R. FORD "The Republican Woman of the Year" 1976 MRS. DOUGLAS MAC ARTHUR "Affectionate Honor Award" 1976

Dear Republican Friends:

As Governor of a state with a great tradition of Republicanism I send my greetings to everyone at the Women's National Republican Club attending the 55th annual luncheon on March 20.

In a Bicentennial year we naturally reflect on the great and many accomplishments of our forefathers as they built our beloved nation. Many of those great achievements were the result of the Republican philosophy and of the great men and women of our Party who have done so much to keep our country strong and vigorous. We share in the hope that our Party will DOROTHY STUART HAMILL continue to play a vital role in America's future and we look forward to seeing fellow Republicans at the National Convention First Presentation of: this August in Kansas City. "The Outstanding Young American Award'' Best wishes to all of you. 1976

Abraham Lincoln:

Theirs, our ancestors, was the task and nobly they performed it, to possess themselves and through themselves us of this goodly land and to erect upon its hills and its valleys an edifice of liberty and equal rights. 'Tis ours only to transmit these, the former unprofaned by the foot of an invader, the latter undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurp Best Wishes JP ith Every Good Wish ation to the latest generation that fate shall permit the world to know.

MRS. CLIFTON BATCHELDER FROM A FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR OF Inscription On The Monument At Valley Forge Nebraska JOHN AND FRANCESCA LODGE And here in this place of sacrifice, in this vale of humiliation, in the valley of the shadow of that death out of which the life of America rose regenerate and free, let us believe with an abiding faith that to them the union will seem as dear and liberty as sweet and progress as glorious as they were to our fathers and are to you and me, and that the institutions which have made us happy, preserved by the virtue of our children, shall bless the remotest generations of the time to come.

The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; estab lished upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. WILLIAM TYLER PAGE

A Patriot's Creed GOOD LUCK TO CONGRATULATIONS Believe in your country - be Americans. Give what you can of your ALL REAL PATRIOTS time and thought to your country's service. Give as much as you can, but LOUISE MAROCK in any event take an interest in public affairs and do something. Whether POLLY PARKER partisan or independent, strive to be just and to see things as they are. The men who are doing the work of the world are not perfect, and their work is not perfect, but it is under their impulse that the world moves. Live the life of your time, and take your share in its battles. You will be made thereby, not only more effective, but more manly and more generou s. - HENRY CABOT LODGE
