One hundred and twenty-five years ago,

nation was fighting to maintain it's
W puny existence. To-day with
seventy-ive million inhabitants it is
fighting to achieve the independence
of a neighboring' nation. Certainly we
have a right to be proud and to shout
ourselves hoarse on the birthday of
our national independence. Let the
eagle scream and the small boy shout.
Let the children enjoy the day in free
dom unhampered except where pru-
dence dictates. Teach them that Old
Glory is the flag of the free and waves
over the homes of the brave and that
they belong to America and America
belongs to them, now and forever.
