JULY FOURTH

Some hundred-odd million souls temporarily
beyond the bloody grasp of the Naz juggernaut took
time out of the regular course of their lives this
week to commemorate the adoption of the Deelara-
ton of Independence by the Continental Congress
at Philadelphia on July A. 1776. At moment when
the independence of nation after nation has been
violated in Europe we in America pause to pay
tribute to our own. Many Of us believe that the
time may come when we too will have to defend our
independence and demonstrate to the world that we
are worthy of it. Indeed, this question of worthiness
is supreme today.
However, fortunate we may fancy ourselves if
we America dc f4et prove worthy of eur freedom,
it will be surely lost This worthiness does not con-
sSt alone in the size and grandeur of our arms, nor
in the skill and strategy of those who lead u.s. One
must reckon with the spirit of people and with the
quality of their love for the ideals which they pro-
TESS America can well ask itself whether the ideals
expressed in our Declaration of Independence, and
which all of us profess, are in reality the. ideals IN
which we place our trust Does America today really
believe the great pronomcement that I'VE hold
these truths to be selfevdent that all men are ere
ated equal that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights that among these
are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"
Lynchings, the Ku Klux Khan, poll taxes, racial
determinations, jim Grow armed forces, all these
frghtfu institutions" in our democracy roll into
laundering answer of shameful, dsgraceful denial.
colossal hypocrisy has poisoned the most sacred
truths and our actions deny what our speech af-
firms We do not merely tell lie, we live one.
The time has come for Americas rededcation
to these primary principles and for an end to the
hypocrisy and deceit, the lying and shame of our
government, if we are to be worthy of Liberty.
people fortified with the spirit of those who con-
ceved our independence can look to the defenses
of this country with confidence. We will become
worthy Of our liberty.

a gay holiday air throughout the

then number of lot owners were
out so as to be on the lake when
Wednesday morning rolled in.

torn between the North and South.
Many Of them or their parents had
come from Lenoir. N. C., so there
was a deep bond of sympathy with
that state. 1t is a book intended
for Older children and will certainly
hold their interest although it tells
them little OF the fundamental is

much talk Of Copperheads and of

compared by President Roosevelt to
isolationist Colonel Lindbergh). but
little mention of slavery or any of
the other causes Of friction between
North and South.

and niger" in the very few ref
erences made 10 them. The treat
ment Of the Negro in literature
leaves much 10 be desired, and
minor details such as a passing use
Of the word "darky" set a pattern
in the minds Of readers. Aside
from this, the book gives an excel
lent picture Of the mind of the
average citizen. and his indecision
in war II is 10 be regretted that

he said no fees were contemplat-

survey would be made before de-

charging tolls on other super

most of the financing of the new

Kennedy said the department
