After reading the different programs
prepared in various towns for The celebra-
ton Of the Fourth of July, we concluded
that the county has reached period where
the Declaration of Independence is not
considered to have any relation to IBde-
pendence Day. It is not SO many years

July festivities was the reading Of that
instrument and fre-crackers, rockets and
sports were merely incidents. Are we
growing more patriotic, or simply more
noisy
