 Pond Cavalcade of America sends Christmas greetings. This is Bill Hamilton. Tonight Cavalcade presents the DuPont Chorus in a special program of Christmas carols. Our chorus, 115 men and women of the DuPont Company, is directed by Frank J. Clark. And with these carols, DuPont sends you its best wishes of the season. Later in the program, Mr. Crawford H. Greenwald, president of the DuPont Company, will speak. Assembled on the stage of the Playhouse in Wilmington, Delaware, the DuPont Chorus begins our program with a Welsh carol. This song goes back to the Middle Ages when the Eulog was brought into the baronial hall. Deck the halls. Christmas carols come to us from the hearts of people all over the world. The men and women who are singing these carols for you tonight, work in depart laboratories, offices and plants in and around Wilmington, Delaware. They are representatives of the company which brings you better things for better living. Through chemistry. We hear the DuPont Chorus now in an Italian carol of the 18th century, proclaiming the angel song of adoration the first Christmas night. Glory to God in the highest. Colored villages and the spires of the story, which tells in verse and melody the wondrous story of Bethlehem, and the meaning of Christmas to the glory of DuPont Chorus and the first Christmas candle. Presenting the DuPont Chorus in a program of Christmas carols. And now, speaking to you from the stage of the playhouse in Wilmington, Delaware, is Mr. Crawford H. Greenwald, president of the DuPont Company. Mr. Greenwald. Again it is my privilege to bring grieches to friends of cavalcade, and especially to those of you who are my fellow employees in the DuPont Company. We of DuPont can, I think, take pride in our performance during the past year. One certainty and difficulty for us, as it has been for the nation. To the 85,000 men and women of our immediate family, my sincerest thanks for the courage and determination with which they met these new problems, and for their many contributions to our company during 1951. This next year marks the DuPont Company's 150th anniversary. That is a long history for any institution. And we in the company today are immensely proud of the distinguished record of service and growth that is our present heritage. And whereas today, anxieties face us, it is encouraging to remember that they have faced every past generation and have been met and eventually overcome. 150 years ago, when a youth there, Irenae DuPont, was preparing to risk his capital and his reputation in a new business venture, our nation was young, with little to offer but a vast and virgin land and a novel and untried principle of government. Time and again, history has confirmed the wisdom of our forefathers in basing their new government on the Christian principle of individual liberty. For to free men, nothing is impossible. There is no difficulty, too great to surmount. Horses and depressions, through times far more difficult than these, our country has grown and prospered and its present stature has become the envy of the civilized world. The DuPont Company is indeed proud to have made its contributions throughout that long history of growth and progress. We fondest hope that in time, our American principles may become a worldwide expression of faith. That is, sadly, something for the future. But if we despair of it, let us reflect that many despair of its ever becoming a reality here. Let us trust that in the years to come, suspicion and aggression may wither and peace and goodwill bless all the world. Merry Christmas to you all. Christmas program as the DuPont chorus brings us a favorite carol of Norwegian children who sing it as they dance around the Christmas tree. Joyous Christmas song, the DuPont chorus sings it for us now. The Shepherd's Christmas song. The season with its festivities and myrrh, its open sleigh rides through the sparkling winter countryside, is musically recaptured as the DuPont chorus brings us the sleigh. Peace are getting fat. Peace has been set to music to give us one of our gayest carols. The old beggar's rhyme, Christmas is coming. It was brought fame a century ago as a composer of Grand Opera. Yet it is for his universal favorite, sending Christmas greetings from the stage of the playhouse in Wilmington, Delaware. The DuPont chorus of 115 voices is under the direction of Frank J. Clark. We hope you have enjoyed these carols with their words of inspiration and good tidings as the expression of heartfelt Christmas greetings from the men and women of the DuPont Company.
