mother, LAURA ALICE JANSEN, who
passed away eleven years ago today,

She passed through glory'S golden

And walked in paradise. -'

Happy July 4th!

Happy July 4th!
America is still a young
nation when we consider the
venerable nations fr o m
whence our forebears came.
1t was only 1876 years ago
that fifty-six brave and dar-
ing men dared to sign a Dec
laration of independence
which declared the new from
tier would not be bound by
the letters of the Old World.
Instead, the document related,
the new nation would build
or the proposition that all
men are created free and
equal and are entitled to GER
tam .God-given rights, among
them life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Today, that beautiful dream
of liberty and equality under
the law has been realized
more than any patriot of July
4, 1776, could ever imagine.
And while the full dream may
not yet be realized for every
citizen, at least our nation is
still dedicated to the original
proposition. We are still try
ing.
On. this national Indepen-
dence Day more than any
other day in the year, we
should display our beautiful
American flag, symbol of the
land we love whose citizen
ship and protection We both
proudly claim, and not be
ashamed to wave it.

than because of them. BUT

The greatness of our nation,
today and in the future, lies
in the lives and integrity of

YOU AND NE.
Our nation cannot rise
strong, sound and pure if her
people are lowly, debased,
weak and corrupt
Just as no community can
be better than its citizens.
Read Mr.. Hoover's inspir-
ing July 4th message on the
editorial page.
The hysterical outbursts
that greeted the prayer deci-
sion of the u. S. Supreme
Court suggests a nation with
a bad case of nerves."
Everyone, politician and in
dividual, wants to get his two
bits worth in before the real
meaning of the decision is
made clear.
Every person, it seems, has
interpreted the decision in the
light of his own knowledge,
understanding and prejudice
and gone on from there to
arrive at far-fetched conclu-
sions "soundly" based upon
his own wrong Interpretation
of what the court said, or
didn't say.
Most of the editorials we've
read on the subject have done
the same thing = which isn't
surprising when it is consi-
dered that persons who write
editorials are nothing more
than human beings like
everyone else, more or less.
