Scope and content
The four guests of honor at the 15th annual Industrial Conference Board's dinner meeting in the Crystal Ballroom at the Winthrop Hotel. Delegates from Tacoma's industries filled the Crystal Ballroom to hear two speakers on the theme "Mobilizing for Freedom" and to watch a "Petition for Peace" pageant featuring servicemen, the Lincoln choir singers, Girl and Boy Scouts and the Rev. William P. McCormick. The guests of honor were four wounded soldiers from Madigan Army Hospital recuperating from the Korean action. They were Major Frank Olander, Lt. Donald F. Burr, Sgt. Thomas O'Reilly and PFC Raymond Turner. The main address was "The Enemy We Face" by Father Frances Corkery, President of Gonzaga University, in which he charged the U.S. as being apathetic and morally soft and flabby. On a lighter note, the Rev. William Hills, Vicar of St. George's Church in Victoria, spoke on "The Resources of a Free Man." (TNT 2/21/1951, pg. 26)
