HERE is and always has been, since pioneer days, a
tremendous market, especially here in the Northwest's
water paradise but also all over America, for all types
of boats--rowboats, canoes, fishing boats, pleasure
boats, freight boats, speed boats and other types of
boats.
Being the center of a great logging industry and the
source, therefore, of a tremendous supply of lumber,
Mason County is ideally situated to be, and indeed has
been, a fairly sizeable supplier of small arid medium
sized water craft.for this region ppssesses the natural
resources, the basic materials and the skilled workers.
Mason'County can, and easily could; become a larger factor in the boat building
industry:of the Northwest, and expansion .of Mason County's boat,building a'c- '
ti¢ities would bring manY benefits to this community. If a large percentage of
the lumber and plywood produced here were also fabricated
into finished products here, community purchasing power
would be materially increased, for then, in this one area,
the primary raw materials would be carried through the
entire manufacturing process--from the log to the "end
use" product--thereby greatly increasing the olportuni-
ties for employment.
The fact is, however, that the mere possession of natural
resources does not of itself assure progress. Natural re-
sources are essential, to be sure. But they themselves pro-
duce nothing--no jobs, no businesS, no income for anyone.
It is the utlization of these resources which is all-important,
and such utilization demands that someone--some individ-
ual 9r group of individuals--tdke certain very necessary
steps. Someone must invest time and money and thinking and work. Someone
must "get things going."
There is a very real element of risk in the procedure, of course. The individual
who establishes a new boat building shop--or expands a present eplant--must
buy, build or rent buildings; must buy equipment and materials, mast hire others
to help operate his shop, must devote a great deal of time and energy to the ven-
ture.
It is essential that these risks be taken, for only then can new jobs be provided
only then can a community, a state or a nation achieve true prosperity.
Mason Cotmty--and eli America-wasfounded and built on
the fundamental principle that' any or woman should have
the right to work--shoUld have the. . g t to start a busine of
his orn and to enjoy the fruits og ms labor. As a result, no
other nation ',h the whole wor. can approach the Industrial
might of America. In no other naton las te sta. dard of living
risen so high for the individual willie . work for it. This
results from the American Way o£ IAl:e, and is the pathway to
an even greater America. Why Chauge it?

And such risksare taken- gladly- because this is America, and in America
every i#dividual has the freedom to choose for himself what shape hiS lfuture
shall take. The American way of life provides not .only.the basic, funame£al:
freedom of individual enterprise but the freedom to enjoy the results 0fsuceess:,
These freedoms -- as essentially American as the freedom of speech or.thel/fCe
dom of religion -- give men and women the vital incentives
wh)ch make for progress. As a result, new factories are
built, new industries created, opportunities expan_d, L pur-
chasing power createdl Everyone benefits, diredly I or:i-
directly. Every man and woman- every worker, merch"
ant, professional man, teacher- every municipal, country,
state or civil service employee- every employer, large or
small. All benefit because all have a stake in the commo9
welfare of the community and the nation.
Mason County can have greatly expanded boat building
shops- and other industries, too. ason County will
them. For the people of this community 15ossess the
the knowledge and the ambition to create a future full
promise and progress---and the American ideal of free e" !
terprise, applied with sincerity and courage, will rewardthe
basic incentiv.es which are so essential to economic progreSS, i:
