EMPIRE DAY, 1955.
A Message from the President

THE Rt. Hon. THE KARL OF
GOwWRIn,

V.C., P.C., G.C.M.G., C.B., D.8.0.

It is with sad feelings that I send
you my Empire Day Message this
year. Sixty-five years ago I was
commissioned in the Army by Queen
VicToRIA. Ten years ago I returned
to this country after completing my
final service overseas as Governor-
General of the Commonwealth of
Australia.

Now this, my eleventh Message,
must also be my last; because I have
regretfully decided that the time has
come for me to hand over my work,
as President, to someone younger.

Ags your President I have tried to
show you something of what it
means to grow up in the vast family
of nations which makes up our
Commonwealth and Empire. A fami-
ly including ay equal members people
of so many different races,

I spoke of the travels of our young
Queen and her husband and their
great happiness in the friendship
they found among their peoples
overseas. And I know of your
delight in seeing for yourselves the
Queen who belongs to you, and also
this year. the PRINCESS MARGARET
during her splendid tour in the
Weat Indies.

Now, today, in taking leave of you,
I remind you that each one of you is
important ag a person; you have your
own place and your own work wait-
ing to be done, if you have not
already begun it. There are splen-
did opportunities for service. There
is outlet for adventure and enterprise,
and also room for the quiet courage
and determination of those who are
not physically strong.

I have enjoyed working with you
all for our Empire Day Movement,
and I shall always think of you on
this day in what I hope will be peace-
ful end happy years in the future.

May God bless you and strengthen
our friendship now and always.

GOWRIE.
