They will present music often overlooked by large symphonies, and are experimenting with the unique devise of playing without a conductor, Doktor said.

And we're strong because we en- joy the unique combination of qual- ities that make our nation the most productive of any country on earth. Why? First, because we've built our whole system on a solid faith and belief in the dignity of the in- dividual. Out of our belief in the dignity of the individual has evolved the wonderful pattern of America. Our policy of free markets and free collective bargaining. Our belief in competition. Our adherence to the principle of constantly better qual- ity at consistently lower cost. Our emphasis on research-on invention-on new and better methods. Our faith in the future and our desire ever to advance-ever to improve the lot of everybody, re- gardless of race, creed or c'olor. These-in corn.bination-are America. And nowhere else in the world is there such a combination --that's your U.S.A. Let's keep it this way. Sure our system has its faults-but in correcting those, and with even better teamwork, the future is unlimited.
