Number 8 Sugar House, Utah Thursday 19, 1959 Price 10 cents Tom Notestine To Publish The South East Independent Sunday, February 22 marks the 227th Anniversary of the birth of George Washington, General of the Continental Armies and first President of the United States. Historians who have reviewed the dark days of the Revolution, are all agreed that the singlei factor of success must be given to the leadership of Washington The absence of a mean ambition, the one desire of servingwell his country and his fellow men, the faithfullness that could not be driven from it's task through jeolousy or resentment... these were the traits that gave him an unique and solitary place among the world's heroes. George Washington believed that Governmental action must be mixed of firmness, prudence and conciliation if it would win liking and loyalty as well as respect. He resolved to give it every proper form of dignity, ceremony and prestige that would appeal to the imagination of the people. Natural leader as Washington was, he recognized the gifts and talents of others and gave to each the task for which he was fitted. For eight years, Washington served as our Nation's President, charting the course for a young country that would someday be a great and powerful nation proving the principles of Dem ocracy to all the world. Safeguarding these principles is the most important task we have today. Emerson S.
