The craftsmen and women of Colonial times\nwould be proud to know that countless Twentieth Century\nAmericans are following the tradition to which they brought\nsuch dignity and honor.\nIt is a tribute to the towering figures of the Revolutionary\nEra -- men such as Washington, Jefferson and Franklin\n-- that they found so much time outside their demanding\nprofessional careers to devote to hobbies and personal\ninterests. It has been our good fortune that their genius\nin devising our system of government also guided them in\nso many useful and aesthetic inventions, crafts and hobbies.\nIn our own industrialized society, hobbies provide a greatly\nneeded stimulus and outlet for the inventiveness and artistic\ntalents of our people. During this October observance, all\nAmericans can be heartened by the vitality our nation de-\nrives from the wealth of hobbies pursued by citizens of\nall ages and every walk of life.\nHerold R. Ford\nFORD OF LIBRARY"
