Washington to mildly reprimand the Waterbury soldier-boys for this high -handed outrage against royalty-the boys didn't even get the guard house.
 In Q Fourth of July program by one of the great broadcasting sta- tions, Q couple of years ago, 8 much advertised speaker declared that the Declaration of Indepen- dence was so lightly considered at the time that 1t was not treated as a front-page story by the news papers and that 1t was not 50 much as mentioned for eight or ten days and then Q little item hidden away in 8 corner of an in- side page. He said that the gen- eral public were so indifferent to 1t that the anniversaries of the Fourth of July were not celebrate cd till early in the 18th century.
 On the contrary, the files of the newspapers of the time show that the Declaration of Independence WAS front-page story and that the Glorious 4th was celebrated from the very beginning.
 As the newspapers of 1776 were

members of various historical as- sociations of Philadelphia and as a result gathered Q wealth of ma terial that even nationally known writers of history overlooked. It was MT. Barr who directed at- tention to the worlds famous print, managed in 1776 by Cap- tain John Dunlap and Lieuten- ant D. c. Clappole, founders of the first daily newspaper in the United States. It was MT. Barr also, who discovered 50 many in- teresting facts in connection with the printing of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Washington's Farewell Ad- dress that the "Quaker City" took immediate action to nnemorialiZe the forgotten printers, revolu- tionary war heroes and outstand- ing men among men of their times.
 MT. Barr's articles on the merit of historic value alone should ap- peal to all patriotic Americans, especially school children eager to learn or to supplement their knowledge of American history with authenticated facts. MT. Barr in the development of his story will weave into his romantic word picture not only the Spirit of 76," but will cite names and facts involving Waterbury and Waterburians. The Democrat feels privileged to present MT. Barr In 6 role that he is 50 eminently qualified to All. His writings will become a weekly feature, appear ing on each Wednesday.

 The work of farm debt adjust ment is now well-organized in Con- necticut and Rhode Island and the Resettlement Administration is equipped to handle all applications, according to MT. Humphrey,
 The applications of all farmers desiring aid are investigated by rural rehabilitation supervisors. If they can be supplied with loans, accom- panied by acceptable farm and home management plans, whereby 1t is believed they can put their farms upon sound-paying basis, their cases are accepted. But 1t is fre- quently found to be impracticable to advance such aid without an ar- rangement for the settlement of the farmers bills. This, in many in- stances, involves a complete re- financing of accounts. It often hap pens that after debt adjustment is arrived at, no loan is necessary.
 When the farmers indebtedness is of a simple nature. the rural re- mobilization supervisor is frequently able to handle the work of debt ad- justment. He succeeds in scaling down the farmers bills to Q point where the farmer through the help of e loan can pay his indebtedness and also have money to spare to carry on his farming under a farm plan. When a farmers debt Is so involved as to be impossible for the rural rehabilitation supervisor to settle it, the farm debt adjustment supervisor ls called In.

Norwich, Conn.--Debts of Con- necticut farmers totalling $i0l, ,4l6 were reduced to $76,707, a scale- down of $24,619, through the ser- vices of the farm debt adjustment section of the Resettlement Ad- ministration during the month of February, 1t was announced to-day by c. H. Humprey of Bloomfield, in charge of this work in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
 A Windham County farmer is cited by MT. Humprey as typical Of many @ Connecticut farmer whose economic difficulties have been les- sened through debt adjustment. This farmer lives on a farm in a 2OO-year old farm house located on little travelled dirt road. He and his wife and II children were about to be turned out t'of their home be- cause they could not meet the in- terest on their mortgage.
 Through the efforts of the farm debt adjustment supervisor of the 1tS8Ctt1CAACAkt AOhthAAtAoeA 0sASAss ~S~~ closure on this farm was averted.

weeklies or seni-weeklies the public did not get the news as we do today, but the Declara- ton of Independence came on the front page of the first publi- cation after the editor got his Broadside.
 Let the Waterbury school chile dren examine the Book of Repro- auctions of the first newspaper printings of the Declaration. The Constitution, and Washington's Farewell Address in their school building--a1d they can ssee for themselves how unit that radio speaker quoted above is to inc Struct the public.
 The reaction to the proclama- ton of the Declaraton of Inde- pendence was instantly profound and exalting in America and thrilled and aroused new hope abroad. And that was the reason why our worthy Congressmen were so anxious to get their names alongside John Hancock and Charles Thomson on c docu- ment that was destined to eter- nal glory and fame.

 The answer to this question had apparently been pretty foggy till the recent researches by the American-Appreciation Fellowship of Waterbury disclosed that the five illustrious Congressmen, just mentioned, spent the remainder of that famous day in the newspaper and printing office of Captain John Dunlap, ofticial printer to Congress, supervising the first printing of the Declaration of In- dependence-in the form of a broadside.

one would think that nothing new could now be told about the "original" Fourth of July.
 That the Continental Congress unanimously voted the adoption of the Declaration of Indepeil- dence on that day and that the Liberty Bell rang, we all know by lneart-and that has been about the extent of our information re- garding what happened among the patriots assembled from the old Thirteen Colonies at Philadel- phia on July 4th, 1776.
 of course "that vote" was busi- ness enough for one day for any Congress; but we have a perfectly natural curiosity to know details and incidents--and what those particular Congressnen and Peo-

 Printed by John Dunlap" The form in which we common ly see 1t now with the autographs of the Congressmen--andt the text in a writing masters hand-with- out paragraphs and almost impos- sible to read-was an after thought, prepared for posterity, and has no association with the war. No soldier or soldiers fam. fly ever saw 1t.
 But the Broadside was known to them all. It Is Q true souvenir of the Revolution. It gave inspira- ton, saw action and smells of powder; and when we look upon the Broadside, or a facsimile of 1t, we see what they saw--the 27 charges against the King in 27 separate paragraphs in plain type that all could read and un- derstand - just as Benjamin Franklin and the soldier printers set 1t up.
 On July 17th the Waterbury folks ct home read the Declara- ton of Independence in their newspaper -- The Connecticut Journal & New Haven Post- Boy: and they also read in the same newspaper an interesting account of the patriotic escapade that the Waterbury soldier-boys and their Connecticut buddies got into in New York-directly after they heard the Declaration of 1nde. pendence read on the evening of the 9th. How they went and committed assault and battery on King George ITS equestrian statue down on Bowling Green and completely demolished His Majesty-sending chunks of him over to their girl friends in Litch- field to make bullets for patriot muskets.
