Excerpt from Washington as a Citizen, an Address "Ma loved Pa Pa loved women Ma caught Pa With some in swimmin Here lies Pa" Your Association is, as usual, in excellent condition notwithstanding it has had to grapple with that Demon called "High Cost of Living:" Probably most of us are acquainted with that same Demon and can sympathize with the Southern darkey who after he had lost his fourth wife had a call from his Pastor. In response to the Pastor's solicitous inquiry as to how he felt he replied "I fell like I was in the hands of an all-wise and unscrupulous providence." With the passing of the years we are obliged to face the sad fact that many of our best beloved friends are no longer with us. During 1921 our death roll was heavy. Among those who have gone is our good Vice President. Dr. Henry A. Henriques, whose genial presence did so much to make our meetings a success. Since our gathering of a year ago the chaotic situation prevailing in many parts of the world has made us appreciats the fact that the situation here, bad as it is, might be much worse. Momentous events are taking place. The leading nations are trying to make this a safe and a better world, as is evidenced by the recent disarmament conference at Washington which Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England, referred to a couple of weeks ago, "as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the world." But after all, in the last analysis, the question whether the future is to bring peace and prosperity to the peoples of the earth depends largely upon its citizens. Good citizenship is absolutely essential to the solution of our problems and no better way to draw inspiration of that character can be found than in the study of the great Washington.
