July 4
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered a resolution in the Continental Congress in 1776, which was to have worldwide repercussions for centuries thereafter. The resolution stated that, “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent.” This resolution was adopted by The Congress on July 2,1776. Interestingly, Congress adopted another resolution on the 4th explaining its reasons for declaring independence and justifying the action. This is the resolution which we now celebrate on the 4th. This resolution was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, chairman of the committee, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston. A mass meeting in Philadelphia in Independence Square celebrated the declarations on July 8, 1776 — and heard them read by John Nixon. General George Washington, on the 9th, included the declaration in general orders to the army, stating: “The several brigades are to be drawn up this evening on their respective parades at six o’clock, when the declaration of Congress, showing the grounds and reasons for this measure, is to be read in an audible voice. The general hopes this important event will serve as fresh incentive to every officer and soldier to act with fidelity and courage, as knowing now that the peace and safety of his country depends, under God, solely on the success of our arms ...” The declaration is now recognized by scholars as one of the humanitarian documents for all time.

federal government. But funds aren’t guaranteed. And interest rates can change on funds. Thus, it’s good to remember that when one buys an individual bond, the government guarantees it. Also, the interest rate is set and can’t be changed. When, however, one buys a fund, a great number of bonds are involved and interest rates can change. So can the value of the fund — which the federal government does not guarantee. Since there is a management expense, too, it might be that one is better off buying a Ginnie Mae bond with a good interest rate which won’t change. Buying mutual funds is different. The government doesn’bj guarantee most of the, paper im mutual funds, so one seeks safety in numbers in a fund.

Letter to the editor
Re.: Sheriff's divers
Dear Editor: I redd your detail about the Pilots Plung Into Lake. But when you gave credit to persons involved you left out the Sheriff’s Department divers. It was Tom Brindle who brought the body up and him and four other sheriff divers who did the underwater hard work. This isn’t the first time you have omitted the Sheriff’s Department. What do you have against them? You gave credit to Doug Anderson. Dave Heckaman, John H., Sudlow Pier Co., Brian Glaser and Russell Anderson for lifting (the) plane out of (the) water but didn’t mention the divers in (the) water. They did the big work.
