In many lands today, mothers are forced to give up their
children—even the youngest. Dictators demand them—and
dictators are all-pouierjul. In peace as in war, they control
business and industry, capital and labor, life itself. Men
and women are told what work they must do. There is no
prize for ambition, no hope for the man who would like to
choose his own career.
How different it is in the United States. Here is a republic,
governed under law by men responsible to the people. In this
free nation, we choose our life-work for ourselves. This system
of free enterprise, more than anything else, makes the United
States the world’s greatest nation. Because men are free to
dream and work as they see fit, scores of industries have grown
great in America: the automobile, radio, telephone and electri-
cal industries are just a few.
As typical Americans, the employees of Central Power and
Light Company are devoted to the American principle of work-
ing together, producing more of the good things of life and
making them available to more people. Through their efforts
electric service steadily improves; at the same time, its price
•teadily comes down.
What inspires the people of Central Power and Light Com-
pany? They are paid for what they do, of course. But the
best answer is this: the employees of CPL are proud of their
part in building a great territory, a great nation. They work
as free men to bring better service and value to other free men.
They are glad to create wealth in peace instead of destroying
it in war.
CPL has been built by free Americans. It is built to serve
other free Americans, its customers. It is free from
political dictation. Like all industry, like the nation
itself, it will succeed as long as there are free Americans
to work for it and free Americans for it to work for.
