The helicopter carrier Guadalcanal was believed to have sailed ahead so its minehunting helicopters could clear a path.

A Thought To Remember Labor Day has been a national holiday since 1894. it became a holiday in recognition of those men and women who are the working segment of our nation, and that includes all but a handful of our people.

Originally it was proably meant only for those who were employed in factories to the workers in the nation's industrial development, but no more. The labor force today is the secretary, the farmer, the school teacher, the office the executive, mother, doctor, minister, fireman, law officer, manager, telephone operator, plus hundreds of others. and Today we are extremely concerned about the number of unemployed, those who want jobs can't find them, but at the same time, we need to appreciate and praise the millions who are on the job everyday. We need to provide education, both from books and learning to do with our hands, so that every man and woman is capable of working. Above all, we must instill in our the convincing throught that there is no shame, no stigma, in younger generation no disgrace honest labor.

Perhaps more than anything else, we need also, all of us, young and old alike, to go back once more to the realization that a day's pay deserves a day's work.
