SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
BY REP. GERALD R. FORD,JR.
UNITED STATES JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DINNER
January 21, 1950
I am most appreciative of the opportunity to be
here tonight as the result of the action taken by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce. However, it is most un-
fortunate that the award cannot be divided equally among
all of my long-time associates in our part of Michigan.
Inasmuch as most of my own civic. and community activities
have been joint projects, I feel definitely that I should
share this with my friends at home who have worked tire-
lessly with me on behalf of the 6cmmunity Chest and its
various projects, the Red Cross, and for better government.
Since it is impossible to partition and divide something of
this sort with those who have cooperated I humbly accept
this honor on behalf of my friends and associates in
Michigan.
