Death dances among Fourth Of

America fought long and sturd-

LIBERTY BELL
TO TOLL l59TH
YEAR
Relic of First Independ-
ence Day Now Handled
With Loving Care
BY ALBERT E. STEES
United Press Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, July A.
(UP)-At the stroke of noon to-
day old historic Liberty Bell will
toll out the 159th year of Ameri-
can independence.
No longer capable of jubilantly
proclaiming the severance of the
United Colonies from the binding
ties of England, the bell will ring
only Is times.
To Mayor j. Hampton Moore
goes the honor of striking the
blows with small mallet.
The first tap will denote one
hundred years of independence
five more for the next fifty years
and the final nine for the remain
der.
TONAL QUALITIES
DETERIORATE
The sounds emanating from
Old Liberty will not carry the
tonal qualities which resounded
around the cradle of American
liberty - independence Hall -
but in their hallowed echoes will
be enstilled the remembrances of
how our forefathers valiantly
fought for freedom.
Originally the Liberty Bell was
brought from England to COM
memorate the 50th year of Penn
sylvania under the charter of
17O1.
But later it served even a great
err purpose in pealing the tidings
of independence on July a, 1776.
Although practically inactive as
it hangs in the Shrine of Liberty,
the old bell is still the heart of
American freedom.
This is attested by the large
visitation made each year by tour
lists from the 4S states. So far
this year, approximately 100000
persons - school children and
adults alike-have viewed the
honored symbol.
WORLD WAR REVIVED
INTEREST
It's historic background and its
place in the annals of the United
States was most noticeably shown
during the World war. In 1918,
one million persons visited indie
pendence Hall mostly to see the
Liberty Bell.
As it hangs straining from its
yoke, the 2,OO0-odd pounds of tan,
gible bronze, cracked, SCARED and
time-worn, has behind it an inter-
esting story.
Older than the United States, the
bell was cast in London in 1852,
costing a little more than 100
pounds. When it arrived late in
the summer of the same year
