\ SUGGESTION

Decision to hold the municipal fireworks display in Stanley Guar ter park has been completed and no doubt nothing that can be said about it now will tend to change the plan. But a citizen Of the North Burritt and Broad street section has come 10 the Herald with the suggestion that au opportunity was overlooked 10 change the celebra- ton to a section of the city that is high in elevation - in fact the highest in the city and one pos sessing plenty of open land to ac- commodate thousands of people.
 Of course, he referred to tho high hill near North Burritt and Broad street. Il is higher than the top of Walnut Hill and is large in dimensions.
 If the celebration in Stanley Quarter park does not turn out very we'll it might be of advantage to consider the possibility Of hav- ing the fireworks display upon this hill next year. provided it Is not built up in the meantime. That il would be easy of access 10 thou sands of people who ordinarily are attracted to inc annual display scarcely needs 10 be emphasized.

THE NATIONAL BIRTHDAY

When the fathers of the Repub- lie ris}ted their lives and fortunes by casting the die that meant ser- erancc from the empire of Great Britain they were actuated by the most divine Of human motives - liberty, freedom and the pursuit Of happiness. Ii is now 150 years since the determined beginning Of Amer ican liberty was built upon the solid foundations laid by the found ing fathers. And if it IS appropriate upon each annual anniversary of the Republics birth to turn back the leaves Of memory to the days Of '76. il is increasingly appropriate in this year of the sesqui-ccnten- nial

Pacific Coast State Claims Distinc- tiOn As Maker of Tennis
 Champions

Philadelphia, July Pt-Califor- mia, cradle of tennis stars, today claims it's traditional distinction as a maker O. champions with four final ists in the intercollegiate title tour namcnt.
 For the third time in successive years, the singles championship will be carried back to the Pacific coast tonight. And for the second time in two years, the concluding battle for the college crown will bring together Edward G. Chandler of the Univer- sity of California and Cranston Hol- man of Stanford.
 Their battle in 1925, pitched, like today's on the courts of the Merton Cricket club, found Chandler a win her in four stirring sets. Chandler rules favorite to repeat his vic tory, but observers who have seen the blondc-haircd Stanford youth rise to the peak of his sensational game in the last two days look for a kcenly-fought engagement.
 After the question of singles su- premacy las been settled. the two rivals will take the court on opposite sides of the net to decide the doubles championship, Chandler partnered by Tom Stow and Holman by Lionel Ogden.
 The Princeton captain was elim- mated in the intercoIlegiates yester- day by Edward G. Chandler, Univer- sity of California, in the semi-fnal round.

MORE SIDEWALKS NEEDED
 WHERE LACKING

Many of the outlying sections of New Britain being deficient in proper sidewalks. it would be an act Of progress for the board of public works to attempt a rectif- cation of this deficiency. Many people nowadays do most of their travelling through the city on tires. yet this general method of personal transportation will never eliminate the need for proper sidewalks where they do not exist. Paths that pass for sidewalks are common in front of some properties. particu- larly where the land is unimproyed or Is acreage, yet is along a paved city street; at other points where poor sidewalks or none at all are the rule one finds they are in front of neglected property. Such prop erty may not bring a good return to the owners nor be an ornament to a street; but that part of the public which lives nearby must perforce use the sidewalks occa- sionally and is entitled to good walking facilities.
 These make believe sidewalks are found in all sections of the outly- ing sections. Taking note of one particularly obnoxious instance on a prominent outlying thoroughfare 1t was found the property belongs to one of the most prominent com mercial institutions in the city The sidewalk is menace to limb, be- ing experimentation of furrows six inches or more deep. Possibly this particular spot is unusually bad; 1t may be absolutely the worst sidewalk in the city, but ncyeTthe- less it exists. with numerous peo- pie living in the block who are forced 10 use it daily. Such condi- tions should not be allowed to ex- isl, The board Of works should walk around the city a bit, as we'll as ride.

C.. Fred Lamprccht of Cleveland and Tulane Faces Paul Hayiland of Yale Today.

Philadelphia, July R)-G. Fred I.amprecht, of Cleveland and Tulane, surviving an epidemic of upsets which has eliminated powerful op- position, today faced Paul Haviland, of Yale. in defense of his intercol- lcgiate golf championship over the links of the Merion Cricket club.

trust, are in the past, Eternal vigi- lance to guard the national heritage of liberty is still required, and al- ways will be. The nation has grown to unexampled wealth; is the home of a cosmopolitan and virile popu- lation drawn from the vigorous people Of all lands: in resources is supreme; in prosperity the marvel of all the world; progressive ten dencies have developed into a ma tional trait. Yet these things alone do not guarantee perpetual and eternal well-being.
 With our eponderating success achieved in 150 years there is one overweaning possibility that turks in the background -- the danger of materialism and a submergence of those fne-spun spiritual values that were born with the Republic in its early career, and were so vital a part of 18th century character,
 Times change and our concep- tions Of living may change with them: but the verities remain eter- nal. A certain superficiality in thought, in demeanor, in the excess sive love of luxury and the soft life can scarcely be doubted as being apparent after these fateful 150 years.
 Yet luxury and the will toward an easy life do not constitute the bed rock essentials of national perpetuity. They were not the qualities for which the Spirit Of '76 was born. Rather, they form the superflcialities and excrecences of life.
 Our ills after l6O years are do mestic. Universal education has done yeoman's service in advancing the standard of living, but there is reason to believe that too much of our education goes 10 the head and not enough to the heart. A certain worship of material success is paramount. The sign of the times -sometimes-is the sign of the dollar mark.
 In national greatness the lao years have seen a development | from 13 small states to a nation of 1O.O0O,oOO, occupying the most fertile land upon a continent. Our power Is undisputed, and our pa i ciic inclination toward other na- tions undoubtcd. We have held out q helping hand 10 all mankind, and have been best able to exert an amelorating influence where it was i needed. This, perhaps, has been our greatest glory: That we have power. but are not drunk with il: that We have wealth, but are not misusing it internationally; that we have ideals, and are willing 10 eXe- i cute them. In the manifold con- alterations that make a nation great and deserving of good es-
 teem, we Have not faltered along
 the course.
 ! And now we celebrate the annual birthday anniversary, each in his ] own particular way; the cbulhcnt
 youth with noise; the more sedate in more sensible fashion. A few thoughts given 10 our manifest
 destiny of peace and hood will to-
 ward mankind, how We are living i up 10 the ideals of the founding { fathers, the glories of the past and ! the possibilities for renewed achievements in the future-thesc
 may be logically assumed 10 be a , part of the anniversary by all ! thoughtful citizens.
