ROTARIANS HEAR '
ELLIOTT SPEAK
Rotarian Phil Elliott spoke to
the Sylva Rotary Club, Tuesday J
night, on "George Washington's (
Farewell Address". Mr. Elliott ,
discussed the address with refer- '
ence to Washington'ss^remarks r
regarding a president serving a, |
third term. |(
Mr. Elliott said that we have
given more importance to a pass- j
ing remark in the address than
to the main theme of the speech,
i plea for national unity. Mr. El- F
liott pointed out that Washing- 1
ton said in the address that he t
had written a farewell address at 1
she close of his first term; but
shat due to a precarious foreign t
situation he had decided to serve *
lis country a second time, and c
shat had it not been for the *
foreign situation at the close of r
Washington's first term,we might
lave had a precedent agaiilst a
president serving two terms.
