A sueciaI despatch from Strabane Ireland, to the Christian Science Monitor last July 5th linked County Tyrone with Americas celebration of Independence day for Strabane is the birthplace of Americas immortal printer Captain John Dunlap.
 The article was headed Irish Town Pays Trubute to Printer os Constitution and U. s. Edict nf Liberay". The sub-head read "Old Hand Press with Which Ios,r Dunlap Learned his Trade Eefse Going to Philadelphia IS ished by Strabane, His Birth

But there IS a close historical link between this town of County Tyrone ana Americas traditional Fourth-oi- July celebrations. For Strabane IS the birthplace of John Dunlap, printer of the Declartion of Inde- pendence.
 Here in Strabane today may be seen the printing press used by little John Dunlap during his ap- prenticeship here as a compositor in the firm of Messrs. Gray. There is something prophetic, too, about

John Barr Among
 First To Honor |Great Printers

Under the caption ''Honors
 for Phiiadelphia's Patriot Printers, the Philadelphia Rec ord of Sunday, December IS, 1927 carried an editorial, which
 included reference to John Barr of Waterbury. Credit was formally given to MT. Barr for what was described as a most practical suggestion-photOstat
 of Americas first newspapers carrying details of history -mak- ing events-the Declaration of Independence the Constitution, Washington's Farewell Address and other great documents.
 The editorial, which precipi- tated nationwide interest in the prominent roles played by Capt. John Dunlap and Lieut.. David c. Claypoole read as follows:
 No doubt the ferment over American history will do good before it ends. Already, thanks to MT. John Barr, an enthusiast as we'll as expert, a practical sug- gestion has been developed, to wit: Let photostats of the two news papers issued in Philadelphia by Captain John Dunlap and Lieu tenant David c. Claypoole, during the formative period of the United States, be published and placed in the public schools throug ghout America, so that young students

UNIVERSITY CLUB
 POSTAGE SMOKER

More than 6 members of the University club and their friends enjoyed an open meeting at the club rooms in the Hotel Elton last night, at which time it was voted to hold a series of socials and varied programs of entertainment during the approaching months. Although the meeting was her aided in advance notices as radio gambol, it proved conslusively to be for the installation of a new receiv- ing set purchased by the members. One of the features came with the introduction of special appliances which allows for certain members speaking from another room. The radio speakers were Edward H. Davis, Atty. Frederick c. Smed- ley and Mrs. J. Harold Root.
 The programs follow: Smoker, Oct. IS; informal bridge, Oct. 2; Halloween party, Oct. 27; stag night, Nov. 3; contract bridge tour nament, Nov. IT, Nov. "A, Dec. l and Dec. 8; smoker, Dec. IS; Christ mas dance, Dec. 29.
 The, fall dance will be held Nov. 13 and the annual meeting, Jan. 5.
 Barry L. Morgan is chairman ot the program committee which con- sists of Herman Rooster, John M, Brodie, Frederick c. Smedley, Dan- iel M. Hull, G. Daniel Marshall and Lawrence M. Duryee.

may obtain at first hand contem- porary accounts of the Revolu- tionary and Revolutionary struggles. These papers, The Pennsylvania Packet, a weekly, dating from 1771-the very year the "S" that looks like an "f" was dropped-and The American Daily Advertiser, which grew out of the weekly in 1784, afford a continu- ous record from the Stamp Act period to the death of Washing ton. The 29 years covered by them would necessitate the issue of 29 photoStat volumes, with thir- tieth volume devoted to an index. The set owned by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is com plete-the only complete news paper record of the most impor- tant revolution in the history Of mankind.
 Why have Dunlap and Clay- poole been neglected so long? Both were able men, highly hon. orable and devoted to the public service. Washington appreciated and commended them. Dunlap, a leader of the First City Troop, suffered the hard rubs and knocks of actual campaigning. He would take no pay when he worked Tor Congress. He lived and died a pa triot and founder of the nation, as did Claypoole, 8 youth in Con- tinental days, 8 venerable Phila- delphian in the first part of the nineteenth century. Like his friend, Charles Thomson, Dunlap was Irish born. Claypoole had in his veins the blood, and in his head the liberal ideas, of Oliver Cromwell.
 These two printers of the Revo- lution deserve all the honor given them by MT. Barr and Captain Clement B. Wood, of the First City Troop, in their addresses be- fore the Historical Society. Too long have they been overshad- owed and diminished in fame by that greatest of printer-worthies, Benjamin Franklin. Without derogation of Franklin, or detri- ment to the first magnitude fame universally assigned him. Dunlap and Claypoole may be acclaimed and made much of by our rising generation.

The most enduring service that John Dunlap rendered to his adopted country, is complete bound file of his newspaper that began in 1771 as a weekly and in 1784 became the first daily news paper in America. There are 30 volumes covering the 30 momen- tour years from 1771 to 1900. They are carefully preserved by the Historical Society of Pennsyl- vania, located at Philadelphia, and are of inestimable historical value. If all other histories of that period were destroyed it could be reconstructed from that file.
 The loss of that file would be irreparable, and 8 plan was on foot before the depression to have photo-engravings made of the en- tire file so that it could be made available to all the schools and libraries of the country.
 The editorial from the "Phila- delphia Record" reprinted on this page gives an outline of the plan; and it is hoped that it will ulti- mately be carried out.
 The writer of this article has spent weeks and months exploring that old newspaper file, and found it the most fascinating 30 volumes he has ever read. So many gaps of history are filled and disputed matters made clear and you get the very atmosphere of the time. Certainly this file will always be one of the important sources of the history of that great period.

CBY JOHN BARR)

The good people of Strabane. County Tyrone, Ireland, make no mistake in honoring the name of John Dunlap. Any town or coun- ty or country, might well be proud of having been the birthplace or such a man as he. Only a su- perior race could produce his like. As everybody knows, Irelands contribution to the brain and brawn and character and courage of America is incalculable-and John Dunlap was one of her best gifts to America and the cause ot Liberty.
 But well-intended as is this tribute from his birthplace-Stra- bane does not yet know the half; and right here in America we are just beginning to realize the ex- tent of his services and the un- selfishnesS and nobility ot the man.
 It would require a good sized volume to do justice to the actiV- ities of this remarkable man; but in this short article-hoping that it will reach Strabne-the writer would like to comment on para graph or two in the quoted article:
 "Along came the Revolution, and in due time, Dunlap under took the printing of the Decla- ration of Independence, ana without much persuasion sub. seouentiy packed up shop ana fled to Lancaster, Penna.

the iron eagle that pinnacles its archaic granueur. Typographical craftsmen of three centuries have toiled about its massive mechan- ism. MT. Jack Gray is the pres ent proprietor of the establish ment which trained young Dun lap.
 How Strabane's John Dunlap happened to figure in the evolu- ton of that artistic piece of ty- pography is a story that traces American self-government and American journalism back to their glamorous beginnings.
 Dunlap was born in Strabane in lT47 and before he was 10 years old his vocational future bore the fascinating smooch of printers inch.
 He had an uncle, William Dun- lap, Philadelphia printer and bookseller, who sent for him to engage in the printing trade. Later on William gave up the business for the ministry and sold out the Philadelphia printing es- tablishment to John.
 At first the younger Dunlap printed books. In 1771, he started a weekly newspaper, the Pennsyl- vania Packet or the General Ad- vertiser. Along came the Revolu- ton, and in due time, Dunlap un- dertook the printing of the Decla- ration of Independence, and without much persuasion subse- quently packed up shop and ned to Lancaster. Penna.
 But things quieted down. The British evacuated Philadelphia and Dunlap brought his press out of hiding and started turning out his Packet on a tri-weekly basis. Then in 1784, he branched out to daily publication-the first daily newspaper in America wrought of the genius developed on that cumbersome press in Strabane. That daily is now the Philadei- phia Public Ledger.
 Dunlap also printed the Consti- tuition of the United. States. He left big fortune and . reputation that money could never attain. A fellow printer summed 1t up with the words:
 skle never inserted a paragraph which would wound the feelings cf an individual

Capt. Dunlap Among Great Leaders in EiistOry-Mak ing Events-AppOnted Official Printer for COn-
 gress-FOught With Troops

The British evacuated Phila-
 delphia and Dunlap brought
 his press out of hiding ."
 A little explanation is here necessary. The reason why Capt. John Dunlap had the distinction of printing the famous Broadside of the Declaration of Indepen- dence on July 4th, 1776-was that he was the official printer to Con- gress; and the reason why he was the official printer was that he was not only an expert printer, but he was a man of the highest integrity and @ fearless patriot in the close confidence of General Washington and the Congress.
 The line land without much persuasion subsequently, packed up shop and fled to Lancaster" [, and the words, brought his press out of hiding"-are ill-chosen in any reference to the fearless cav- airy officer and patriot-editor, Capt. John Dunlap. The word fled and hiding are entirely out of place in speaking of the boy from Strabane' who with pen and sword valiantly strove in the righteous cause of America.
 When the British army cap- tured Philadelphia, and during the nine months of their occu- patton, the American Congress moved to York-and John Dunlap moved his press to Lancaster, but there was no hiding about it. His location there enabled to keep in close touch with Congress on the

one side and General Washington and the Continental Army, at Valley Forge. He had official printing to do for both, and he got out his newspaper, The Packet, regularly every week, and dis tributed it among the soldiers at Valley Forge, and their families back home. And that newspaper did lot to encourage and keep up the spirits both of the fight ing men and their families. He was constantly meeting General Washington and the leaders of Congress and during this darkest period of the revolution Capt. Dunlap and his apprentice, Lieut.. David c. Claypoole Qater his partner) were on the keen jump night and day.
 John Dunlap was with General Washington on the famous night attack on Trenton, and was so daring that the General cautioned him, saying: T admire your brav- cry, but I can't afford to lose men like you and I don't want you to take any unnecessary risk"
 The reference in the article quoted, He left big fortune and a reputation that money could never attain" is true and well said. Every penny of his fortune was honestly made, and worthily used. He had faith in the future of America, and invested his say- ings in real estate. He owned one block in Philadelphia between Chestnut and Market streets, that he sold early in the 18th Century to Stephen Girard for $l00,000.
 He was so generous that when Robert Morris went bankrupt and was put in debtors prison-John Dunlap got him out and gave him a fine house to live in the rest of his life.
