THEN AND NOW
To the Editor:
What has become of the old-
fashioned Fourth ? When the girls
wore red, white and blue dresses
in the parade, the orator waved
the flag, the Declaration of Inde-
¡»endence was read and hearty
community singing rounded out
the program Then there was the
iilg basket picnic, followed by a
program of simple sports indulged
in by young and old. Verily, in
the vernacular of the day, a good
time was had by al).
With the passing of the years
the significance of the Fourth
seems to be on the decline. Com­
munities vie to stage the most
stunning events to attract crowds
and incidentally cash in on the
almighty dollar The pendulum of
frivolity has swung too far and
these ominous days call for the
return to a safe and sane Fourth.
