The Best Patriotism is Love of Home and Home Town

July brings to us the anniversary of the nation’s birth, and we celebrate it with a patriotic fervor such as no other of the annual holidays instills On July 4 we give evidence of our love of country by recalling the graphic scenes and heroic deeds that occurred in Philadelphia a century and a half ago when our nation was born. Patriotism is but a love of our rights as free citizens: a love of the privilege of. cooperatively as a people, directing our own affairs; building our own prosperity; doing those things that a majority wills should be done.

SYRACUSE INDIANA. THURSDAY, JUNES*, 1937.

J Declaration of Independence I -1 On July 4. 1776, representa- ' tives of the thirteen colonies ■ met in Philadelphia to adopt a -: Declaration o f Independence, idr ifted by Thomas Jefferson, of -jVirginia. John Hancock, presiJ dent of the Assembly, was the - only one of the forty-six men • I present who signed the article Jon that day. Four <ays later ■ ’ however it was signed and adopted by a larga majority of the representatives and the event was j | celebrated with great rejoicing, u 1 hat deelarat’on wa< the cul,‘mination of centuries of struggle , in many lands. It was the spirit , and heart of Calvary manifesting itself through early church bick»erings and class oppression It has revolutionized the ’ relations . of man to man in all parts of the earth and stands today as the beacon of hope for the oppressed iof the world. It meant something to sign that document. It took courage; a willingness to die if necessary, for conscience and for country. That document meant this: “King George, we do not want you any longer as our ruler. England, we will pay you no more • tribute. From this day forward j we will be an independent power. in the world, and we defy you ' and all the rest of the world to ( i prevent our being what we wish to be!’’ This was democracy bom j in the w’orld. In these parlous times, w ith! an insiduous propaganda to be-1 i little their history and a growling plea for an international unity to restore this nation to j the “mother country” we almost hear these patriots call to us. J “For what was our sacrifice ” | the' long years of j peace the spark of patriotism has I burned low. It needs to be livened into a breath of flame that all i .nay see and understand that I this nation is still united —“One and inseparable-’*—that the Spirit lof ’76 still lives. Shall we not l declare with Lincoln that “these j dead shall not have died in vain." • that the liberty and independence they struggled to win shall J>e preserved? That is the real meaning and purpose of Ind&>endence Day— The Fourth of July. May its glory never be filmed. ■ ——g: wC ELEBRATED BIRTHDAY > Mrs flletta Warner. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Beck of Goshen, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Strieby. Mr. and Mrs Mart Landis. Mrs. Mary ; Hibnen Gerald Hen wood and Mrs. Miliicent Miller went to | the home of Mrs. Andrew Strieby ion Sunday to remind her of her ‘birthday. A fried chicken dinl ner was served. A delicious cake, with eighty-four candles, was baked and decorated by Mrs. Hibner. Mrs. Strieby, who has been suffering intensely with a severe boil on her shoulder for three weeks, advised that just a few relatives and friends should meet. However, she is much improved 'and is enjoying fairly good health. Her sister, Mrs Millicent Miller, is nearing her four score mark. She will be seventy-nine. soon. o VLSiTORS DAY t In orders published June 28, 1927. at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Indiana.

Patriotism, like charity, begins at home. Our love of country is first our love of our home community as an integral part of the nation. As citizens of the nation we give evidence of our love of country on this one day of each year, but as citizens of our community we give evidence of our love for home every time we do anything that in any way advances out interests as a community. The patriotic citizen is the one who thinks and works for the interests of his home town; who co-operates with his neighbors in making the home town a better town, a town more typical of American ideals; a better market

k L H. LARIMORE TALKS ON PROHIBITION Prohibition in the United : States cannot be completely suci cessful so long as other nations , re wet. declared J. H Larimore, : Websterville. director of publicity »f the World League ? Against Alcoholism, speaking at ! St. Joe. Ind.. Sunday ? Mr. Larimore’s address was- • made at the meeting of the De- . Kalb County Council of Religious Education. j ‘The United States has 17.000 miles of bore. said Mr. . . out<i'e this border, are nations! that to »«ne extent or other pro- * mote, protect and encourage the I honor traffic. When we hadj township prohibition it was not , satisfactory until we got county! prohibition. Countv drouth was I not complete until the st te as a unit went dry. State prohibition j was better, but it was found not i itn be entirely successful and we! j found national prohibition nee-1 essary , “But even national prohibition, adopted by a great nation, can-1 not be wholly successful as long as there are wet nations on the ■ outside. ! * The foe we face is not a local ■ uninc Os saloonkeepers, nor a i I state liquor dealers’ association. nor even national association of ‘brewers.

"" “We must engage in this cooperation because, first, of our tremendous investments in Christian missions; secondly, so that we may keep the liquor traffic so busy’ defending itself abroad that it cannot concentrate on breaking down American prohibition. and, thirdly, because of the inherent character of the prohibition movement, which is to help the other fellow, whether that other fellow be an individual victim of the liquor traffic or his family, or a county, state, nation, or hemisphere ” Q, CHILD HUKITH WEEK 4- _ - All parents in Turkey Creek township who have children between the ages of five and seven years are asked to bring them to Winona Lake on Thursday forenoon, July 14 to the Child Health Examination conducted by the Child Hygiene Division of the Indiana State Board of Health, The purpose of this examination is: To bring every child to his first day of school in good health by up-to-date knowledge of his condition; To correct nutritional care; and to give a thorough physical examination for the purpose of correction of all defects.

place for its people; a place of better schools, of better homes; a more satisfying place in which to live. We cannot make a better nation, a nation more in harmony with the ideals of the founders, except as we make better communities within the nation, and our job is to make this a better community. True patriotism calls for work at this job of ours every day of every year. When we do that we profit as a free people can and should profit Our dividends are paid in the form of more ideal living conditions, more of the real, the substantial pleasures of life

THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Things by As He Sees Them on > the Surface. I J Teachable People . j A college professor recently j remarked that in a college or a ■high school, the freshmen and ! the seniors are the most teachJable. You can tell them some- | thing, he said > The reason is, that the freshl men feejl uncertain whether tney are going to make good or not. (That them right up on ; their toes, and they feel they hnust work if they expect to make good. But after they get into the sophomore class, they feel altogether too comfortable. They are somewhat assured of their position. and have no doubt discovered soqne points where they can skimp their work. They are not so readily accessible to suggestions from their teachers. But after they become sehiors, a new spirit comes oVer them. Their course is nearly over, and they are beginning to think about what is ahe*d of them. They realize that soon they must get out and struggle with the world, and they see more readily, the need of all the preparation they can get. Also they , begin to realize that what thev have learned is really very little, and that thjere is a vast deal they do ndt kn<>w. These two points of view can be found everywhere, in eYery commnunity, in every workshop and pl4ce of business We constantly see the “know it all’* people. They have certain points of vievf, and it is almost impossible to change them. It<seems almost impossible for them to make progress and learn anything new. When people stop being teachable, they stop making progress. When a person thinks he knows all there is to know about his job, the chances are strong that he will never get a better one, also it is often doubtful if he will be to hold the one he has. The world is constantly changing, and ideas and standards change. We must have the teachable spirit if we expect to keep ujp with the procession. Wants A Pony “Sonny,” said the family physician. “what shall I bring you, a brother or sister?" “If it is all the same to you. Doctor. I’d like a pony." The college boy or adult citizen lacking respect for women or confidence in their power, judgment and goodness, pays a poor edmpliment to his own mother. There was a time when the word meant a binding agreement, but it now means something that contains povvder and rouge, Remember the good old days when you used to giggle behind v your Spelling book every time the teacher’s beau came to visit the school? When a woman begins to be in- ’ terested in what a man says about himself its’ time to begin saving for a wedding present. What shall we do? Youth drives madly and crashes into others, age creeps along and is run over. The baited breath of the fisherman is doubtless responsible for most of the big fish stories. No, John, the path that leads to fame and fortune isn’t the famous primrose path. In Chicagjo they’ve changed it to ‘‘Life and liberty through the pursuit of bandits." Want a live baby? You can buy one at the Red Arrow Auction, July 30. The days are getting shorter and the nights longer. The man who cheats another robs himself.
