Addresses 499
meetings, and organized recreation. I congratulate you on the
fine work you are doing in these fields.
You are young, but very important, citizens of North Carolina.
Always remember that the measure of an individual is not that
of age or popularity, but of his ability to know what is true and
do what is right. Keep your honor high, maintain a wholesome-ness
of character, a resolute purpose, and a quality of spirit that
temporary setbacks cannot sway or discourage. Determination to
do a job and hard work are the combination that can open the
most difficult lock that might withhold you from your objective.
When you leave the State College campus, don't leave the en-thusiasm
that has been fostered here. Put into practice in your
local organization, community, and county all the things you
have learned, all the knowledge you have gleaned from your ses-sions
here. Remember that the most humdrum task has some-thing
to offer to increase your status as a man of tomorrow.
I bid you Godspeed in your program here and in your future
lives as citizens of North Carolina.
NORTH CAROLINA IS PROUD OF KAY KYSER
Address Delivered in Introducing Kay Kyser at a Luncheon
of the North Carolina Good Health Association
Raleigh
September 4, 1946
James Kyser of Rocky Mount—known to the world as Kay
Kyser—is undoubtedly the best-known of all North Carolinians.
Here in North Carolina we are proud of Kay Kyser. We are
proud for many reasons. We have a patriotic interest and pride
in the fact that he went out from a North Carolina community
to wrest fame and fortune from the entertainment world and to
reach its very peak in success.
We are proud that while riding this crest he took the time to
entertain millions of men and women in uniform during the war
years. At a financial disadvantage to himself and by driving him-self
beyond any reasonable call on his physical strength and
mental energy, he brought cheer and happiness to millions of our
service people who were away from home and busy prosecuting
the war.
