Through Senator Everett M. Dirksen, I have learned of Odin’s 100^th anniversary and it is a pleasure to join in the observance of this event. The history of Odin is a proud record of individual enterprise and civic achievement; strengthened by this tradition I am sure the town enters its second century of community life with confidence and thanksgiving.
