On Friday morning the public was greeted with the above sign posted on the front of Love Furhiture in uptown Syracuse announcing Gerald Hubbard’s 50th anniversary. As it turned out, it was also a surprise to Gerald. It was the handiwork of his daughter-in-law, Lisa, but the culprit who put it up for all to see was son Tim. AREA PEOPLE who have an interest in real estate values, things like that, have kept an eye on the old W. E. Long residence at the Bonnie Brae development south of Syracuse. The main reason is that realtor Joe Todd has listed the property at SI,OOO less per week until sold. Well, it’s sold! To Michael Sandifer of Syracuse. Seller: Arthur Johnson, owner of N & J Motors, a Warsaw used car agency. In April 1981 the estate went on the market at $250,000, and two years later was reduced to $190,000. At that time it was reduced SI,OOO per week until the fall of 1983, then taken off the market. In April 1984 it was put back on the market at

Carl Shearer Minister ;Sg!

Twenty trills passed by the 1984 General Assembly and approved by the governor will be entered into Indiana law books on July 1. Bills taking effect the first of this month will have an impact on a variety of state interests, including Indiana’s educational system, business and economy, and health care industry. “The laws of a state can be a decisive factor in determining the quality of life its citizens enjoy,” Senator Augsburger stated. “Several of these new laws will aid Hoosiers in reducing their cost of living and preparing for future occupational endeavors,” he added. The generic drug bill, designed to reduce Hoosier health care costs, permits a pharmacist to dispense a lower-priced, generically equivalent drug for a prescribed drug. The patient must agree and be aware of the substitution and the physician must indicate to the pharmacist in a designated manner that the substitution is permissible. While this new law will help all Indiana residents save money, legislators aimed specifically at aiding elderly Hoosiers to reduce their health care costs. As a part of the continuing effort to improve Indiana’s educational program and promote scholastic achievement, two bills designed to promote teacher excellence and upgrade educational facilities have become Indiana law. One of these laws, which will aid in the education of handicapped Hooqiers, allows any school corporation which has formed a special education cooperative to use money from its cumulative building fund to assist in the repairing, equipping and maintaining of special education cooperative buildings and equipment. Teacher education is the issue addressed in the second new law, which provides for the payment of additional compensation to teachers who complete teaching assignment-related college courses and organized learning experiences such as workshops or seminars. “This law will work as an incentive for teachers to continue their education,” Senator Augsburger stated. “It will enable the state to reward those educators who continue their pursuij.of knowledge and attempt to remain up-to-date in their subject areas.” Small business and employment opportunities were key issues addressed by the 1984

General Assembly. According to Senator Augsburger, two bills dealing with Indiana’s small business regulations were enacted as a result of lawmakers’ interest in promoting small business in the Hoosier state. The Department of Commerce is now required by law to serve as a liaison between small businesses and state agencies. The newly-enacted law also permits the department to review any rule proposed by a state agency and suggests alternatives which might reduce their regulatory burden imposed by the proposed rule on small businesses. A second business-related 'statute deals with what is commonly referred to as “White Collar Scams”. According to Augsburger, this practice of selling business opportunities to unsuspecting investors with the promise of making a large profit has resulted in many consumers being left with an unwanted product and without their promised returns. The new law requires any person who wants to sell opportunities to investors with the promise of making money to follow a certain set of procedures which govern the transactions. Adherence to these guidelines will provide remedies for consumers and assist the attorney general in prosecution when the statues are violated. “It is my hope that the activation of this bill will discourage dishonest businessmen from knowingly selling unprofitable business opportunities to investors, enabling the honest solicitor with a marketable product to deal successfully with consumer and investors,” Augsburger added. 9 Ninety-six industries and over 5,000 Hoosiers will benefit from an industrial training program which is also taking effect July 1. s7's million has been appropriated by the state to an industrial program revolving fund as a part the federal Job Training Partnership Act. This money will assist existing industries in Indiana to expand to various locations throughout the state as well as in the retraining and upgrading of their employees ' skills. “The activation of this statute is an important step in our efforts to reduce unemployment and £ ? bn f tinue our economic recovery,” Augsburger stated. “This program is a sound investment in Indiana and its people.”

Declaration of Independence... announcing the birth of freedom

ByDEEJAYNES' Staff Writer “When in the course of human events. .” These historic words begin one of the most famous birth announcements in history. The signing of the unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America announced to the world a fervent desire to put an end to tyranny and heralded the birth of a nation that has become the symbol of freedom throughout the world. The 56 men meeting at Carpenter’s Hall in Philadelphia in September, 1774, had no idea the impact their meeting would have on the world. Representing 12 of the original 13 colonies, the men met for nearly two months, finally deciding to buy nothing from, and sell nothing to, the British. In addition, these delegates to the First Continental Congress sent a long list of complaints to King George 111, agreeing that if nothing was changed, they would meet again on May 10, 1775. King George, angered by the delegates’ list of demands, only increased his taxation of goods and services. The resistance movement among the colonial patriots became stronger and they began stockpiling guns and ammunition outside Boston. The local farmers, prepared to fight the British troops on a moments notice, became known as Minutemen. Within the city of Boston, patriots such as John Hancock, Samuel Adams and John Adams were urging even stronger measures of resistance. On April 19, 1775, British General Gage sent soldiers from Boston to the village of Concord to search out the caches of ammunition and arms hidden by the “rebels.” Two men on horseback, William Dawes, and the more famous Paul Revere, rode to Concord to warn the Minutemen that “the British were coming! ” In a battle CAR CARE— O ?? \\ / / E • 0 vo' ■’ v ' Tips For More Safety, Economy, Convenience Changing Your Oil Filter “Do -i t -y o u r sei fers” arourid the ■nHtioii know H’s ’’ important to change your car’s oil filter regularly to keep the engine running efficiently. : It used to be a messy gob, but now that many major brand filters are packaged in new, reclosable plastic containers, many home mechanics can avoid dirty hands, soiled clothing and oil spills.

Wed., July 4,1984 - THE MAIL-JOURNAL

at a small bridge in Concord, large numbers of Minutemen forced the British soldiers to retreat. This victory strengthened the resolve of the patriots, but although more than 20,000 men surrounded Boston in an attempt to drive the British soldiers out, the troops were badly organized and only succeeded in causing temporary problems for the British. It wasn’t until a military leader from Virginia, George Washington, took charge of the troops, that the men turned into a well-trained fighting unit and eventually drove the British troops out of Boston. The Second Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadephia, the building now known as Independence Hall. Several delegates were hesitant to break away from the British rule, while others, including John Adams, John Hancock and Patrick Henry, argued that war was the only solution. In the spring of 1776, a representative was sent to France to enlist the aid of the French government in the event of war. The French, not on friendly terms with the British, agreed to help the colonists gain their independence. This support led, in part, to the vote taken in every town and city in the colonies. Free men over the age of 21 were given the opportunity to vote for or against independence from England. Overwhelmingly the colonists chose independence.

Five men were chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman. Thomas Jefferson of Virginia was selected to actually write the document and he labored for two weeks at a desk on the second floor of a home belonging to a friend in Philadelphia, writing and re-writing the words that would become a part of history. The document was presented to members of the Congress and they debated its wording for nearly three days. The majority of the delegates approved the Declaration on July 4, 1776, but the New York representatives did not accept it for 11 more days. When the Declaration of Independence was finally read aloud in Independence Hall on July 8, the crowds outside went wild. Colonists organized an impromptu parade of cheering soldiers and civilians, guns were fired, and the big iron bell, now officially known as the Liberty Bell, was rung in the tower. Notice had officially been given to the world that the colonies were united. The official parchment document was signed by 50 delegates on August 2, 1776, six other delegates signed later. This original piece of paper is on display at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C., and is viewed by thousands of visitors from around the world each year as a symbol of hope and freedom.
