Twenty years is the average life of a steamer, bat the grand old
Lake Michigan steamboat CHICAGO served 45 years. With her giant
paddle-wheel boxes, great arches and two tall smokestacks athwart-
dilps, she was typical of the best In Great Lakes design of the day.
She was one of the best known Great Lakes passenger steamers,
lasting until 1919. Today’s Great Lakes vessels are very different.
With the coming of the St. Lawrence Seaway, new ocean-type ships
are being planned by a score of leading Amerlcan-flag steamship
lines for service between Lake ports and the outside world. America’s
fourth coastline, long a dream, is approaching reality, according to
the American Merchant Marine Institute.

Almost five centuries »go, Gutenberg’s invention
of movable type Matted a revolution. It has been
going on ever since.
For five times five centuries-and *dhs before-a

birth or of circumstance. The people were subjects,
Supporting those thus kept in authority
However, movable type, by cutting the cost of
printing, began the process of making knowledge
more widely available People's understanding then
grew. Sparks of hope were awakened in the minds
of men.. When it became apparent to entrenched
authority that permitting wide dissemination of in-
formation and ideas might in time destroy their
iinecures, censorship was exercised
In a search for greater freedom, men of many
races and creeds fcrosTcd the ocean to establish homes
on this continent. They and thnr children founded
here a nation dedicated to a new principle, govern-
ment by the people, and for the people And know-
ing that liberty could be overthrown only by vubiJu-
I ing freedom of speech and the press, they provided
further that this bstit freedom should never be''
abridged-
Thai system of government created an opportu-
nity for all men to advance, limited only by their ef-
a/orts In but a few generations it won for this people
a higher standard of living and of human welfare
than had ever before been dreamed possible
