Mexico Had Liberty Bell Also
Rekiaw Meet Re-Scheduled For August 8
More Observations from Mexico
by Mrs. John F. Joplin
Years and years ago my sister
from Mexico and her children
spent the summer with Mr.
Joplin and me ;ind another
nephew, Billy Cocke, who made
his home with us lor some
years. A- the Fourth of July
approached 1 thought, "Now'
here is an excellent opportunity j
to give the children a lesson
in history and an appreciation |
of their heritage of American
freedom and liberty."
So at storytime on the even-
ing before the holiday, I told
thefn that the next day would
be one that they would want
always to remember. We would
fly the flag alt day long in
men-ory and make it a very
spcci; I time. Then came the
story of (ho oarly days of the
settlers and of how tike colonists
finally decided that they must
break with the Mother Country.
We ended with the famous old
poem about the little hoy whose
grandfather was the bell-ringer
in independence Hall and how
he and all the people gathered
round and waited and listened
to learn what weorge Washing-
ton,' Benjamin Franklin, John
Hancock, and the others would
do.
When we came to the last
lines, "Ring the bell, Grandpa,
ring the bell for Liberty!" the
children were very rj 11 i e t and
thoughtful. Then Frances Anne
Ursua who was the oldest of
the croup, said almost shyly,
"You know we Mexicans have
our Liberty Bell, too."
Then she told the story of
how the Spanish conquered the
country and used its resources
to make themselves wealthy,
making the natives work for
them for almost nothing more
han the means of a bare exis-
tence. She told of the growing
feeling of rebellion and hatred
for their oppressors. Then
finally on the Sixteenth of Sep-
tember 1810 Father Miguel Hi-
dalgo, the priest who was their
leader and sympathizer, rang
'he church bell as a signal that
lie uprising should begin.
1 knew the story, had known
it since 1 myself was a child
nd first heard it as a part of
the background of Texas his-
ory. But 1 had never thought
before of Father Hidalgo's bell
ns a l iberty Bell like ours. So
in my turn I became very quiet
and thoughtful!
Therefore when recently in
one of the information sheets
published for tourists in Mexi-
co, 1 found a more detailed
story of the Mexican War for
Independence with descriptions
of some of the places made
famous by it, I thought I'd like
to use it as part of these "Ob-
servations." Hence one day this
week I sought out the address
of the publishers of the news
sheet. It was Avenida Juarez
42. way down in a very busy
crowded part of town. The Ave-
Why folks get better

At y o u r doctor's command,
miracle drugs (unheard of a
dozen years ago) that speed re-
covery by days, even weeks!

IN KAMPF
"Miur. ■u.Trr u' UiiiHUl
nue here forms one boundary
of one of Mexico City's beauti-
ful parklike city squares. This
one honors Benito Juarez, one
of the celebrated presidents of
the country.
At this address I found a
beautiful, modern office build-
ing, the Centro Americana. It
is very large and built on three
sides of its own parklike en-
trance square fronting on the
city park. Four sections have
been completed and are in use.
The other three are still under
construction and 1 stood for a
while Razing at the orderly
maze of workmen, s u p p 1 y
trucks, plate glass fronts, and
people going about their busi-
ness in the completed sections,
before seeking the office desig-
nated. My Spanish is still very
inadequate, but with the willing
help of a policeman, a passerby
or two, and the elevator starter
in Section D of the complex,
and by*pointing to the address
given on my news sheet, 1
finally reached the eighth floor
and Room 810.
Here 1 was disappointed to
learn that the people who pub-
lished the article had evidently
moved some time ago. The
courteous Mexican gentleman
now in the suite, whose office
<?irl could do no more than say
that the people were not there
anymore, tried to put me in
touch by telephone with the
people I sought but was un-
successful. So I had to give up
for the time being; but I will
Iry some more 'by and by.
