Therefore, as a nation we are
justified in our jubilant celebra-
ton Of Independence Day.
But how about the duplication Of
independence day to the in
dividual?
3 Has each one of us established
for himself an independence
day?'
Unfortunately a great many OF
us have never known what real in
dependence is. We have been
bound through a lack Of funds to
the daily grind. The war with its
stringent demand for saving, first
taught us that it is possible to put
little aside from what we would
ordinarily consume.
We know now that if we steadily
place a part of our earnings in safe
investment, such as Government

be on the road that leads to individ
ual independence days.

Minimum Essentials
For An Auto Trip

The man who plans to take his
vacation or part Of it on an auto
trip is given some valuable sug-
gestions in a recent touring num-
ber of popular auto magazine:
"The tourist who intends to
carry a limited amount of equip
ment is often at loss to decide
which are the most important
things to carry. In many cases he
takes up considerable room with a
lot of equipment which is never
used. The intended tour has, of
course, a lot to do with the equip
ment which should be carried
Taking into account that service
stations are now scattered all over
the country, it is more desirable to
simply carry the ordinary run of
articles which will allow of making
emergency repairs or adjustments.
The following will prove of in
terest in this respect:
(a) One roll of "a Inch black
tire or insulating tape purchase
at electrical or accessory store)
used for binding together any
small broken parts, such as gaso-
line lines, chafed wires or broken
connections, leaky water hose, etc
(b) One spool of heavy, soft
copper wire, used for binding OF
connecting two parts temporarily
as the case demands.
(c) One good tire repair xii
containing assortment Of patches
tale, sand paper, etc. Spare tubes
and inflated spare tire on rear.
(d) One-half set of extra sparl
plugs. Be sure that these are Of
the correct length and type OF
thread. Standard 7s-inch, IS
thread.)

1t is hoped that the registration
