MAKE IT The GREATEST.

Are Americans unpatriotic? mo"
we answer recalling the loyalty Of all
our people during he war. But in
spite of this national gallantry IN
times Of emergency, we impress for
eigners as being nation Of people
Indifferent toward our government,
our coutry's traditions and ideals.
July Fourth, our independence
day, is too generally regarded as
mere holiday chance to get out OF
work for a time and merely enjoy
ourselves. We rarely pause during
the day for a moments serious
thought on the duty we owe in per-
petuating the ideals set forth by our
forefathers almost century and a
half ago. We are so intent on hay
ing a good time that we give little
heed to the matter of patriotism.
So the editor of the Spirit of jeff
erson urges the citizens Of Charles
Town to think for moment on the
more serious side of the July Fourth
celebration. Ask yourself, why
are we observing this day? What is
my duty toward the Republic found
ed on that July Fourth back in 1857"
We do not expect you to go around
with a long face seriously bordering
over matters of government when
your friends are enjoying them
selves. We want you to have as
good time as possible on this July
Fourth.
But take a moment or two to make
the day seem worth something. Re-
member. we need patriotism during
times of peace as well as during
times Of war. Citizenship in Ameri-
ca offers tremendous opportunities
and great privileges to everyone.
But IL also carries with it certain
duties.
If the people of Charles Town will
DO this during the day. this will be
the greatest July Fourth celebration
In our history.

The dance was at its height,

larger than a mouse, dropped
amid the dancers. Women
screamed and there was a rush
for the doors, and it was with
difficulty that the orchestra and

Dancing was suspended while
half q dozen 'possum-hungry
