"NOTES AND
COMMENTS"
FOURTH OF JULY
The traditional Fourth of
July our fathers and their fath-
ers knew has largely gone from
*• the land. Fireworks, save for
organized, licensed displays,
have been widely outlawed on
grounds of safety. With them
have gone the orations, once
commonly held in town squares
and fairgrounds in which
leaders in government and en-
terprise paid their tributes to
those who founded the nation,
and who gave us the powers of
mind and spirit which made
. possible the maintenance of our
freedoms and the creation of
material abundance.
These orators, needless to say,
were often naive and flamboy-
ant. But still, there was a pro-
found merit in what they said
and meant no matter how inept
the choice of words might have
been. They did paint a picture
of the American ideal, the
American philosophy, the
American tradition. And even
those who stayed but briefly to
hear them felt stirrings of pride
in our heritage.
All this is gone or generally
so. The Fourth has become just
one more holiday. And some-
thing vital, something that was
at the heart of things, has gone
out of American life.
It needs to be restored if we
are to save this nation from
lethargy and cynicism within,
as well as from our enemies
without. And it can be—if, on
this and every Fourth, we give
a quiet moment to reflecting on
the values our forebearers
bought for us with blood and
treasure. We must determine to
do all we can to defend those
values and pass them on, untar-
nished, to our children and our
children’s children.

God moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform.
There are so many turns in the
road of life that we cannot
understand but after all God
gives us life and it’s His to take.
There is but one acceptance:
“Thy will, not mine, be done.”
First “Rock’N Roll”, then
“The Twist” and now “the
Hootenanny”, the craze that’s
sweeping the country, see it in

the Palace Theatre, Saturday &

Cotton Meeting
Thursday, July 2
There will be a cotton insect
control meeting at Mike Janak’s
farm in the Wied Community
Thursday, July 2, at 3 o’clock.
This meeting will give the
cotton farmer an opportunity to
discuss the importance of late
season cotton insect control. A
demonstration will be given as
to how to make insect counts to
determine the amount of
damage that is being done and
whether or not the damage is
sufficient to warrant control
measures.
The prospects this year is for
an excellent cotton crop but in-
sects can destroy a cotton crop
in just a few days if a farmer
is not careful.
All cotton farmers are invited
to attend this meeting.
