Rear Platform and Other Informal Remarks in Wisconsin.

[ 1.] ALTOONA, WISCONSIN (Rear platform, 6:45 a.m.)

Ladies and gentlemen:

I got up this morning just to greet you and say good morning--because I stopped here in 1948.

All I can say to you is that I hope you have a pleasant Sunday and that you will go to church.

I don't know of anything else that I can say to you this morning except good morning and I am happy to see all of you.

It is a pleasure to be able to stop here once more, and I appreciate the privilege.

[2.] ELROY, WISCONSIN (Rear platform, 8:50 a.m.)

I just want to say good morning to you this morning. I appreciate very highly your cordial reception.

I am on my way to Madison to dedicate a building and will go to church down there this morning.

I am not making any formal appearances. The only reason we stopped here this morning is because we stopped here once before, and I just wanted to greet you and say good morning.

I hope you will have a most pleasant Mother's Day and that all of you will go to church.

[3.] MADISON, WISCONSIN (Address at the dedication of the Credit Union National Association's Filene House, 2 p.m., see Item 132)

[4.] MADISON, WISCONSIN (Laying the cornerstone at Filene House, 3:22 p.m.)

Mr. Treasurer, these trowels are exactly alike. You take that one and give it to me. This one I present to you, and I hope you will treasure it all your life.

This is a wonderful ceremony. I have laid many a cornerstone, and I know how to do it, and I appreciate the privilege of doing this one.

I was well acquainted with the man to whom this dedication is made today. He has visited me many a time while I was a United States Senator, while I was Vice President, and while I was President of the United States.

He always had some constructive idea to offer that was in the public interest, and never a selfish one.

It is a pleasure for me to be here today.
