JFK Elected U.S. President Nov. 1960: Robert F. Kennedy at
Atlantic City, New Jersey August 27, 1964 talked about his
brother John F Kennedy, except from his speech at Democratic
Convention. “So when he became President he not only had his own
principles and his own ideals but he had the strength of the
Democratic Party. As President he wanted to do something for the
mentally ill and the mentally retarded; for those who were not
covered by Social Security; for those who were not
receiving an adequate minimum wage; for those who did not have
adequate housing; for our elderly people who had difficulty
paying their medical bills; for our fellow citizens who are not
white and who had difficulty living in this society. To all this
he dedicated himself”.—– “Even beyond that, his idea really
was that this country, that this world, should be a better place
when we turned it over to the next generation than when we
inherited it from the last generation”.
Quotes; On Inauguration Day 22 Jan 1961 JFK said “my fellow
Americans, ask not what your country can do for you – ask what
you can do for your country.”
“I believe in an America that is on the march. We must not
stand still; we must not be at anchor; we must not sit on dead
centre; we must not content ourselves with the easy life; we
must open the gates and stride forward in accomplishment.”
LAND Improvement; 1932 the government brought in a reclamation
scheme and by 1940 about 47,000 acres were reclaimed at a cost
of £4.10s per acre. Between 1940 and 1949 more than 32,000 acres
were reclaimed at a cost of £5 per Acre. An official launch of
another land rehabilitation scheme was made in Castlebar in 1949
to coincide with the anniversary of founding of the Land League
in 1879. By mid 1953 about 102,000 farmers had applied for
grants under the latest scheme to reclaim 878,000 acres.
