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
ban on the sale of fireworks and
"torpedoes" of the fireworks varie-
ty. The measure was designed to
save materials needed for munitions
and at the same time lessen the dam
ger Of fires.
However, this ban has been some
what modified since then to dispose
of stocks on hand. Amended regula-
tions forbid giant crackers and rock

long, of torpedoes containing less
than five grains of explosives, and

One thing a soldier is afraid Of
is display of emotion. That's
why his slang so often sounds de-
rogatory. For example, he refers
to the silver eagles on his coloners
shoulder straps as "buzzards. /"
But when he speaks of his favorite
cigarette, he says: "Camels."

Army as well as with Sailors, Ma

sailors, marines and airmen in-the-

sought pleasure in countless ways in
city or country will find strange
new delight in welding the hoe or

will CLEAN with pride and satisfac-
ton some Of the agricultural re-
wards of early springtime efforts, to

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-flung battle front
the Declaration will be duly celebrat-
ed. On aircraft carriers, battleships,
cruisers, destroyers, subs and mine
sweepers, on PT-boats and flying
fortresses, tribute viii 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
a major American holiday from
time immemorial, 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. It may even be-
come an international holiday after
victory is won, at least in those Axis
dominated countries who viii owe

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 a 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 its 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 .ssafe 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
cannon-crackers- noises that would
have shocked us into investigation
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 a day of
gayety, of festivity, and basket-pic-
mics, day when the brass band
played on all day long under the
shade of the oaks and naples, and
the amber fluid flowed freely down
parched and dusty throats. These
are the dear dead Fourths Of long
ago.

speech and our everyday lives. Lib
erty is an essential part Of all Of
us. 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 for
eign power, or that the flame of lib
erty should ever burn out on these
shores, Those who in their AFRO
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 its
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 i'm celebration and In spirit,
from other Fourths Of many years
past. Once more America Is at
war, but this time we fight mot 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.

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 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.
A Symbol of Freedom.
The big bronze bell with the IA
miliar rent in its side has been the
symbol of liberty and free express
sion to countless millions of Aneri-
cans since the new republic en-
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 its 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 inn
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 well as into our
