There had been no an- nouncements of his going; it was better that way.

 Halsey's dismay was ludicrous. "Is this the boat?" he demanded as the scummy, square-sailed sloop came alongside.
 This Is it," Talcott nodded.

Clobal War Creating Interest in Geography

Americans in and out OF school
are rapidly seeking knowledge of
regions which the nations armed
forces may be called upon to de-
fend. They want to know how the
loss Of seemingly remote country
can affect the supply Of commodi-
ties and food products which the
American household has taken for
granted. Many have relatives going
to battle stations in distant areas.
"The war has demonstrated that
the study of geography, even by
civilians on the home front, merits
far more attention than it has been
given here" according to Johnson
E. Fairchild, instructor in geogra-
ply and world affairs at Cooper
Union. brightly colored MAPS" he

follow them through every stage OF
their education, but in this country
geography has been relegated to a
minor position in just about every
primary and secondary school,"
Throughout Europe geography has
been a popular subject among cam
didates for the degree of doctor of
philosophy for centuries. Yet in
American universities it has only
been during the past IS years that
geography has become an accredit-
ed course for graduate study. AS
a result, only 165 doctor of philoso-
ply degrees have been granted in
the United States in this field since
1925. For the duration at least, ge-
ography should be taught for its
current significance. Developments
in the war should shape the content
of classroom and lecture platform.

New York Farmers Plan
Ahead and Save Labor

Several ways in which New York
farmers are saving labor without
working faster, harder, or longer
hours, are cited by DR.. Van B. Hart
Of the agricultural economics de-
partment at Cornell.
They take time to plan ahead. For
example, they figure out what is to
be done tomorrow if expected
weather prevails, and what each
person will do If the weather
changes.
They have a blackboard or pad
hanging in the barn to keep a list
of 'rainy-day" jobs.
They ask themselves, in regard to
such jobs as milking, feeding, and
cleaning stables, these questions:
Can we save on unnecessary travel?
Do we waste any motions? Do we
do unnecessary jobs? Would it pay
to have other labor-saving equip
ment and can it be obtained?
Are forks, shovels, feed carts kept
in the most convenient places? How
much water is carried to livestock?
Are feed boxes, chutes, doors, gates
conveniently located and equipped
to save labor?
They do not do things inefficiently
because ''it has always been done
that way"
They do things on time. Increased
use Of weeders when the weeds have
just sprouted or are small, for ex-
ample, is one way to save labor,
grow more ensilage corn, and less
weeds.

Spirit of First 18th Will Give
NewNote to independence Day

the Declaration will be duly celebrat-
ed. On aircraft carriers, battleships,
cruisers, destroyers, subs and mine
sweepers, on PT-boats and flying
fortresses, tribute will be paid to
that first grand Fourth of July. And
it won't be done with firecrackers!
Widening Range of the Fourth.
While the Fourth of July has been
major American holiday from
time inmemorial, it has been strict
ly an American holiday with little
more than passing press notices in
foreign lands. However, there is
reason to believe that those coun-
tries which are not under the Nazi
heel will hail the Fourth this year
as never before. 1t may even be-
come an international holiday after
victory is won. at least in those Axis
dominated countries who will owe
their liberty to the efforts of Amer
lea and the other United Nations
engaged in the struggle for world
freedom.
A Quiet Fourth Expected.
Indications now point to the quiet
est Fourth in many years. Regula-
tons issued last March by the Fed
eral Explosives Control act placed
a ban on the sale Of fireworks and
''torpedoes" of the fireworks varie-

shade of the oaks and naples, and
the amber fluid flowed freely down
parched and dusty threats. In those
days the farm hand slapped the
banker on the back and asked how
much he would like to bet on the
ball game. These are the dear dead
Fourths of long ago, the Fourths of
an era that is past.
If you are planning on giving a
party for the Fourth, you can
give it much additional color by Sc
lecting foods which show at least
a little of the traditional color of
the Fourth of July-red. Among
these foods are 'weenies," ham and
corned beef, radishes and beets.
Certain fruits, too, will cooperate
nicely in your color scheme; red
plums, cherries (Which are ripe in
many sections Of the country around
the Fourth) watermelons, red rasp-
berries and Strawberries. There are
many other possibilities which will
suggest themselves to the hostess.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-07-02

all other works within specified size
limitations.
During the motoring years that
stretch behind us the Fourth has
been marked each year with a great
fux of auto travel from city and
country and vice versa. This year,
however, the scene will change con-
siderably because of the rationing
of tires and gas. Hundreds Of work
men who have been accustomed on
the Fourth to drive far into the coun-
try will spend this Fourth bending
over lathe machines or putting TINT
into shells to white down the Axis.
Auto fatalities which usually reach
the years peak over the Fourth OF
July holiday will probably be much
lower this year.
A Happy Day for Children.
The Fourth has been one Of the
happiest days of the year for chill
dren in the past. However, it must
be admitted that the Fourth of July
during these later years has become
mainly holiday for the children.
and the larger significance of the day
has been lost in the rat-a-tat of the
firecracker and the boom of the
rocket with it's spray of colored fire
and stars against the darkening eve
ming sky. How the children have
pestered their parents around this
time to break down all restraints
and resolutions for ''safe and sane
Fourth and yield to their implor-
ings to buy them ''just few crack
ers before they are all sold out!"
The celebration for years has start
ed around the middle of June. One
could always tell that the Fourth
was just around the corner by the
crack of firecrackers or the boom Of
Observation-Disclosures that would
have shocked us into investigation a
few weeks earlier. Boyish cele-
brants were everywhere, and meas
ured their patriotism by the amount
of noise they were able to make.
Many of us can look back to the
days when no celebration of the an
niversary Of independence was con-
sidered complete unless somebody
had at least two fingers blown off.
In those days all smart dogs left for
parts unknown about two weeks in
advance. The Fourth was day of
gayety, of festivity, and basket-pic-
MICS, day when the brass band
played on all day long under the

3 Presidents Died on 4th

Three Presidents of the United
States died on the Fourth of July
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson
and James Monroe. Adams and
Jefferson died In 1926; Monroe
In 1881.
John Adams, on the day Of his
death, hearing the noise Of bells
and cannons, asked what the oc-
casion was. On being reminded
that it was Independence day he

barked on its perilous enterprise in
the year 1776. The crack came into
the bell when it tolled the funeral of
Justice Marshall in 1885. In the
raised letters which adorn it's crown
it is proclaimed that the bell was
cast by Pass & Stow in the year
1853 by order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania for the
new state house "erected shortly
before in that city" However, the
great bell could make other claims.
It could claim-but it does not-that
it was the first bell turned out in an
American foundry.
This, then, is the background in
which the first independence day
was cast, and all should be familiar
with it. The spirit Of liberty which
glowed from the pages Of the i'm
mortal Declaration has been the
guiding star of the American people
from that far day to this. The pat
tern of liberty which was fashioned
then has been woven into all of our
institutions, as we'll as into our
speech and our everyday lives. Lib
erty is an essential part of all of
U.S. We draw it in with the very air
we breathe.
It is inconceivable that a country
nurtured in these fine traditions
could ever accept the yoke of a for
eign power, or that the flame of lib
erty should ever burn out on these
shores. Those who in their arro-
gance thought that it might planned
badly indeed.
Liberty Bell Rings Again.
And so the liberty bell has rung
again. It's first reverberations were
heard from the U.S.S. Augusta, in
the North Atlantic, at the time the
Atlantic Charter was written. The
bell pealed still louder when Amer
lea entered the war. But this time it's
reverberations were heard through
out the world, guaranteeing to all
peoples that freedom which is the
divine heritage of all.
This Fourth of July will differ,
both in celebration and in spirit,
from other Fourths of many years
past. Once more America is at
war, but this time we fight not alone
for our own liberty but for the lib
critics of conquered countries and
for those nations whose liberties are
threatened by the aggressor nations.
The Changing Times.
The fishing trips and the basket
picnics of last Fourth and earlier
Fourths will largely be converted
this year into trips to training camps
throughout the land to visit soldiers,
sailors, marines and airmen in-the-
making. Millions who formerly
sought pleasure in countless ways in
city or country will find strange
new delight in welding the hoe or
pushing the cultivator in victory gar
dens all over the land. Many. too,
will CLEAN with pride and satisfac-
ton some of the agricultural re-
wards of early springtime efforts, to
be placed on the Fourth of July la
BILE. For never before in the history
of our country has there been. such
a trend towards grow your own" as
in the spring Of 1912.
Thousands of boys who celebrated
last Fourth in the traditional Ameri-
can way will celebrate it this year
in foreign lands. In Iceland, in Chi
ma, Ireland, Australia and 26 other
outposts of our far-fung battle front

now knows.
In that hall in Philadelphia, learn
ed and courageous men pledged
''their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor" that we might be
free nation. Surely enough, the
men who signed the Declaration OF
independence risked their fortunes,
to say nothing of their lives, for
those indeed were perilous times.
King George of England was not
disposed to treat lightly the matter
of disloyalty to the crown. 1--WE
must all hang together" Benjamin
Franklin had said, cor we will all
hang separately" But he knew when
he said it that it was no joking mat
ter, although millions have had a
good laugh since then at the witt
ness of his remark.
That First Fourth.
The Fourth Of July, 1776, was a
hot, sunny day, and in the afternoon
a thunderstorm broke. Although the
Declaration was adopted on the
fourth, it was not engrossed until
some weeks later. The announce
ment of the Declaration created a
restrained enthusiasm, tempered by
a knowledge of the gravity Of the
step. In this respect it closely re-
sembled our own Declaration of War
against Japan, and then against the
entire Axis, when a peace loving ma
ton, fully in accord with these dec
larations of war, waited tensely for
developments.
The document was proclaimed to
the people in the state house yard
on July 8. At the same time the
liberty bell was rung to summon
the populace. Within a few weeks
after the great bell tolled, King
Georges army under General Howe
was lowering uncomfortably close,
and soon thereafter the long and Bit
ter chapters of the Revolutionary
war were being written in priva-
ton, blood and heroism.
The first publication of the histori-
cal document was on July 8, in Dun
laps Pennsylvania Packet. Other
printed copies appeared in Newport,
Boston and Salem.
