He was followed on the program by Joseph T. Kirchner, league president, who intro- duced Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor said, in part: “The historical (’xhlbll will impress us vividly with the shortness of the time within which the commercial develop- ment of the great electric light and power has taken place, and recall to us our indebtedness to Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor and organizer whom our whole Nation is honoring. The display of electrical equipment for the home demonstrates the great service that the electrical industry renders to us as human beings, and reminds us that our modern industry exists to serve us and our fellow men. Chance for Gratitude. “When we consider the variety of things and services that the modern | world offers us we may well pause to recall that we are inheritors of the fruits of the toil and inventions and thinking of past generations, and of what_we owe to men now living who, like Mr. Edison, have done so much that benefits us. We all have to con- sider how we can best apply our limited resources so that we can obtain the best return in terms of our needs and wants and the ideals and standards which we cherish and prize most highly.” e Wireless service has just been es- tablished between Australia and the Fiji Islands.
