>> the chief wanted me to learn a little about our most important job of protecting the president. the white house police are part of the secret service and it's their job to protect the executive mansion and grounds. i guess it will be a long time before folks forget how these men stopped an attempt to kill the president and how one of them gave his life in the performance of his duties. i had already thought the secret service protected the president since the service was established back in 1865. but this duty actually began with theodore roosevelt after the assassination of president mckinley in 1901. today, of course, watching over the president is the number one job of the secret service. while we waited for the

president to come out, there was a lot of information about it. for instance, walter told me how important the local police are, and how the secret service gets fine help from them. suppose the president is to atte attend a banquette. well, all the plans are discussed with the chief of police and his staff. then the building is carefully inspected from cellar up, even the preparation of food is supervised. if the president goes by train, he occupied a specially built armored railroad car. in advance of the trip, the secret service has talkeded with railroad officials, arranged for protection of the train along the way, and sent advanced agents ahead to see that the schedule is followed as closely

as possible. in crowds, most of the secret servicemen will stay as inconspicuous as possible. some mingle withal the crowds. others are in automobiles close to the crowd. and by means of radio, they keep in touch with each other and the white house detail and this is how they know exactly when the president's motorcade has moved and exactly when he will reach the crowds. what do they look for? oh, many things. bulky or suspicious packages, movements which might mean danger. or sometimes just autograph hounds or gate crashers with purely personal objectives. these are the secret service agents who are prepared to give their own lives to protect the commander in chief. each of these men must be

tactful, firm, ajill, decisive, quick of thought and quick of act as so secret serviceman can tell when his training or his judgment may save the life of the president of the united states.

going to be discussing two separate conflicts that took place in the war of austrian succession. we talked about the french indian wars, we also talked about queen and's war, and we're going to talk about separate conflicts. one is in the french indian wars, i kind of added it to the powerpoint here, but we're talking about the war of jenkins' ear in north america between the british colonists of the south and spain, and in the

north, once again it is a french and indian war, a war that occurred just before the french indian wars. was again, as always, i put up a couple of words up here for spelling. these are not words you necessarily need to remember. often time i like to mention these, and students want to get the spelling. so you will be able to get the spellings off there. we are going to start off the word "utrecht," which ended queen anne's war, and it ushered in a relative peace in europe and in the colonies. but war interrupted in late 70 39, and this was when britain declared war on spain -- 1739. this was when britain declared war on spain. this is a listing that was posted in 1738, saying, look, the spanish are seizing our ships on the high seas, this is an insult, there is an increasing clamor in britain, and we need to do something about it. also, the tension between the british and than
