Spry as Ever - In The Day's By FRANK JENKINS News .v Vu 11 4 The Ncwt-RfWtw, lUitburg, Ot. If the weather lemiiins good, the 4th of July in Douglas County will be a day of picnics, outings and fireworks shows. But at least a moment of the day should be devoted to remembering what the day means. It was 187 years ago that the Declara tion of Independence was signed. In terms of the human life span that's a long time so long in fact that the im portance of the event which occurred then is easy to forget. Perhaps that's why it is easy to think of the 4th of July as Just a nice, restful day away from the daily grind. We tend to forget that July 4, 1776, was more than one self-contained day in history. It was the source of a great, ever-broadening river of freedom which continues to roll into our own time. We are wrong if we think of July 4th as marking the day when freedom was astablishcd by decree and handed as a legacy to each succeeding generation. Independence, even after the end of the Revolutionary War was not a completed nvent. It was only the start of a continu ing process which we must all work and often sacrifice to retain. Over the years, many people have given their lives to nurture the growth of freedom. But this is perhaps the easiest form of patriotism. In war, there's no question. We know who the enemy is and THE LIGHTER SIDE: V. :jL By DICK WIST WASHINGTON (UPl)-"t stuck my hcid into the office of House Clerk Ralph Roberts and asked "do you have a couple of come dians In here?"

As to whether this has anything to do with the outbreak of sick jokes I am not prepared to say. At any rate, Allen and Rossi have reached the upper stratum of clowning owing' tn part to a boost they got from astronaut Gordon Cooper. During his recent orbital flight Cooper paid them the honor of borrowing a line from one of their routines. In case you missed it, it was "hello down dere." So now they have taken the next logical step by linking them selves Willi a "cause," in this ase the Epilepsy Foundation, They came lo the Capitol this week lo confer with Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Mlnn., about a bill he has introduced lo provide federal assistance for improving methods of educating students with epilepsy. But first they took the precau tion of obtaining lobbying regis tration forms. All clear? I asked Allen it there was any thing else he planned to do while he was in the Capitol.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 193 our course of duty is clear. It's far more difficult to recognize the enemies of freedom which try to cor rode it in the course of everyday life. They may be such enemies as prejudice, failure to vote, lack of interest and hun dreds of others. At one time, freedom in America was for those who owned enough property to qualify them for the right to vote. Throughout our history, too often free dom has been abridged or denied to cer tain classes and minorities because of ethnic background, religion, economic status, political beliefs. Eventually, how ever, these groups attained full accept ance into citizenship. They ilid it generally not by riot and revolution but by steady evolution with in the framework of the Constitution. This was the true test which Americans met, to their everlasting glory. But it's an eternal test. No one generation can expect to float easily on that river of freedom which sprang from that 4th of July 187 years ago. There are treacher ous cataracts and dangerous rapids and, above all, often unseen forces which would divert or dam it. But if America which means you and me continues to shoulder its re sponsibilities and continues to fight those forces which threaten that current of freedom, it can lead to a sea of freedom encompassing the whole world.

ROSEBURG The news as this is written? It isn't particularly thrilling. President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Macmillan. meet ing all day at Birch Grove, Pre mier Macmillaji's country resid- ence near the village of Chelwood Gate, some 30-odd miles south London, agreed on the urgency of a nuclear test ban pact with the Soviet Lnion, but remained di vided on the need for a nuclear fleet manned, commanded and maintained by the Norih AtlanUc allies. They would be surface ships cap able of firing nuclear missiles. President Kennedy thinks it would be a good idea. Premier Macmil lan has his doubts. He thinks such ships would be too easily located by the Communists in the event of As they parted at Chelwood Gate airport, President Kennedy said that a great deal had been ac complished in the course of the talks "because of the basis of un derstanding that exists between our two countries." Replying, Premier Macmillan said: "We have had quite a hard time in talks and discussions throughout the evening." He add ed: "I hope you have had a pleas ant time." Nothing, you see,' to blow any body's hat off. It was different 100 years ago this morning. . The advance guards of the North ern and Southern armies had met near Gettysburg. The fight began at once. In the afternoon, the Union lines were broken and the troops were driven back toward the town in foute and confusion.
