This judicial trust in the Service has made the court dispense with the appearances of witnesses and further examination of the petitioners at the final hearing in the absence of special circumstances where a court will require it. Our work has been aided by the cooperative spirit and untiring efforts of the clerks of the court. You have made the ceremonies of the naturalization proceedings assume new and deepened significance. The final hearing has become a show place where responsibilities meaningful to citizenship are vested in people who have finally achieved the goal of their aspiration to become Americans. Thus. the clerk of the court has given the new citizen a deeper understanding of American society. With the broad cooperation which exists between us. and your dedicated efforts. the naturalization ceremony has become the most thrilling of all judicial proceedings. It is fraught with emotion and although It is the end of one road. of the end of allegiance to a land of birth. it is the beginning of a new era for new Americans who have by choice earned it. This proceeding becomes one of cherished memory.
