Historic Battle of Trenton

ONE of the great events we should re-
n member at this time of the year is the
Battle of Trenton, which took place the
day after Christmas in 1776. Because the
anniversary of this battle took place SO
close to Christmas, its memory is often OBJ
scured by the flood of Christmas literature
and sentiment.
The Battle of Trenton, however, was Of
major significance to this country. 1t was
in the opinion of many experts - the
turning point Of the Revolutionary War.
General George Washington, in fact, took
advantage Of Christmas to strike this blow
for American freedom.
The British General, Sir William Howe,
who had been appointed to the command
Of British forces in American Colonies,
felt certain that the American uprising had
been quashed. He had fought at Bunker
Hill (1775), and in September had taken
New York City. SO confident was he that
he agreed that General CORVALLIS could
be spared to return to England
George Washington, however, was far
from finished. Noting that some 1900 Brit

Oranges Conservative Program

THE National Grange, which held its an
annual meeting last month. has issued
a summary Of its policies as adopted at the
92nd annual session. 1t is interesting to
note what the Grange is for, and what it
is against.
One plank Of Grange platform is: Farm
income coming, where possible, from con-
-sumers-not the taxpayer" Another plank
sets the keynote theme of the Grange:
NSelf-help farmer-managed commodity
by-commodity programs to assure produc-
ers fair return and consumers ample sup
plies at reasonable prices"
Other goals of the Grange are a broadly
based program Of taxation, SO that all feel

markets at home and abroad, a conserNa-
ton reserve program, the right of the states
to have straightforward" laws, longer school

laws for the states, control Of monopolies,
including the labor monopoly, more driver
