Mr. Speaker. it is unfortunate that in times of war. the contributions of many of our citizens on the homefront remain unknown and oftentimes unrewarded. For indeed. the suffering of these patriots may be as great as those who serve in the Armed Forces. Such has been the case with Mr. Walter Hampson. an Englishborn naturalized American. and. I am proud to say. a constituent of the 12th Massachusetts Congressional District. Mr. Hampson and the Clinton Silk MillHolyoke. Mass.-of which he was the proprietor. produced silk material for use by the Navy during the years of World War II. This material was employed as insulation for armature coils of motors and generators in the various vessels used by the Department.
