MAIL TRIBUNE Independence Day Tomorrow we celebrate Independence Day, the day whose origin dates back to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, on July 4, 1776. e e THE FOURTH OF JULY is a good day to ponder the implications of that great document. The work of a five-man committee of the Continental Congress, the declaration has remained through the years the guiding star of the nation and it has kept alive the hope of freedom for people throughout the world. Probably few who that although the Declaration of Independence was adopted on that date, it was not until August 2, 177b, that it was signed by the Actually, the last signature was not affixed until November 4 of that year. e e FT HAS TAKEN forthright courage and vigorous ac- tion to .become free and to remajn free, for free dom is not something which once won, stays won. Its battles must be fought continually. Ambitious men and nations who would curb the freedom of the people in must be resisted, over and e e DECAUSE LIFE in these United States holds so much to enjoy we yearn always for peace and opportunity to go about our business of living. Our history proves, however, that such freedom and tran quility as we have had have not been easily achieved. Even in this modern and supposedly enlightened day, our freedom and independence are still imperiled from many sides. VmilLE WE celebrate this birthday of our Declara- tion of Independenee what better time to reded icate ourselves, avow again that we will resist to our last breath any attempt to take from us that way of life which we have so dearly won. E.C.F. .... AROUND Bi VIRGINIA United Praat Hollywood, July 3 (U.R The man who sells us groceries turned up today with a copy of the Hollywood Reporter under his arm. And darned if he isn't a pro ducer In his spare time. Up to now he's just been "Mr. Berman," the long-suffering gent who runs the mar ket around the Virginia. MacPheru corner. Now we find out he's Jack Berman, a big-shot In the up-and-coming Kingswood film studio in Ja maica. He's treasurer of the group of movie makers who slipped down there a couple of years ago and snagged an exclusive film fran chise from the Island legislature.

And Berman says he's running this producer business just like he runs his market. "Hollywood underestimates housewives," he explained. "And that's where a lot of producers make their big mistake. "Women are doggoned intel ligent. Believe me, I found this out from bitter experience. If 1 have canned peas marked up half a cent too high they'll sail right past 'em. Lower Price Bought "So the next day I lower the price and they'll buy. The ladies want good, cheap movies as much as they want good, cheap gro ceries. And that's what we're making." You might even call Berman a "character." He's one producer who won't tell you his movies are "sensational," "daring' or "shocking.' He says they-re not even "stupendous." "They're just good." he shrugs. "They'll entertain you for an hour or so and that's about it. What else do you want from a movie?" And we bet anything Berman's the only producer In town who lives like ordinary people. He and the missus and the two kids have a rented duplex in a not- very-swanky neighborhood and they own only one car. No Swimming Pools No swimming pools, no mink coats, no nlglitclubblng In the Berman budget. "I can't see wasting my money in a smoky nightspot," he said "I get my groceries wholesale. hy pay those jacked-up prices? His kids go to public school and the only time pop impresses 'em Is when he brlnRs home lollipops from the candy counter. Pop may hobnob with million aire movie stars but that cuts no ice with them. Not Full Tim Job Grocer Berman doesn't even make a full-time Job out of this movie racket. "I spend a couple of hours a day at the studio," says Producer Berman. "Sometimes a whole morning, if I'm rushed. "The rest of the time I'm right here at the market, pushing the bargain specials." Doctor Explains Why Youth Caused Deaths Circleville, O., July 3,U P A psychologist said today that Robert D. Segee, 21-year-old circus roustabout who confessed to causing 173 deaths, set fires to burn up memories of sex frus trations. Bernard Higley. psychologist who worked with Ohio Fire Marshal Harry Callan on the case, said Segee was no "pyro nianiae in the usual sense." Segee has confessed to setting the tragic Hartford, Conn., circus (ire in 1H44 that killed 160 persons and to four murders since 1938. according to Callan. He also confessed to setting at least 4S other fires in Ohio and the New England states. Crosstown -- )Sr film it a c .jawl a 't i ' I'm glad ha'i a boy.

"Tick" Malarkey Members attending the Vet eran of Foreign Wars state con vention in Salem this week were Henry Williams, C. E. McKer- chie and Commander Conroy. The men left Thursday morn ing and were to return Sundav. While in convention they will act as delegates from Camp White Post 6412. Paul A. Hatton, domiciliary manager, returned from Salem Thursday. Wliilo there he ad dressed the VFW, calling to their attention the fact that Camp White has facilities for three times as many men are here now. He expressed the opinion that there was a need for addi tional capacity. The hot weather of the past few days has kept everyone out of doors until long after dark. Extra blankets have been stor ed away until this coining fall and in most cases a sheet at night has been enough for most anyone's needs. We have a bride in the finance office. Gertrude Price "want and done It." She and Harold Lutes were married last week and arc making their home in Central Point, where the groom is em ployed by the Grange Co-operative association. Harold is a vet eran of World War II. and Ger trude was employed by Camp White soon after the station was opened. Word comes from the Rose burg VA hospital, where Mem ber Ray Barker was sent for medical treatment, that he is greatly Improved and that he will soon be returned to Camp White. Ray has been a volunteer worker in the arts and craft shop and is missed by his associates. Bill Black, who left here to be assistant manager at the Sea side hotel, says that he is fond of the summer resort Job and is getting along in good shape. The businest time of the year is at hand and to date Seaside is en joying a good season. Chairman of the Red Cross Ladies who work at Camp White Is Mrs. Ralph G. Bar-dwell. Mrs. Bardwell served as chair man during World War II and she did active duty as an active volunteer during World War I. For years Mrs. Bardwell was productive chairman for the Medford Red Cross chapter, and supervised the sewing, packing and shipping of garments to the Red Cross warehouse in San Francisco for disaster or use in military and veterans' hospitals. This busy lady, when the domiciliary was opened, organ ized her Gray Ladies into an active group. In addition to all this she supervises and manages two pear orchards. Mrs. Bard well lias two grandsons in Port land. "Chuck," eight, and "Bard," 12. Hans Snrrnsnn, our Durable Dan of the hobby shop, finally returned.

Get DOlliLE VOIR HONEY BACK! 1 By Roland Cot News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White Vernon G. "Dobbie" Garrett came to call Friday morning. Eighteen years have passed since we have had a visit. "Dob bie' was born in Medford and is here to visit with his mother and brother Jack. Before World War I he was on the Oregon football teams playing at end and in high school days attended Columbia Prep in Portland. Garrett left college in 1915 and enlisted in the French army Part of his enlistment was spent driving a French ambulance and the remainder of the time he was with a light artillery unit For the last five weeks of the war he was with the American army and was wounded when in action with the 3flth division. "Dobbie" has a string of de partment stores in California and makes his home at Santa Rosa. He and Mrs. Garrett have just returned from I cruise to Alaska. The situation In Korea doesn't seem to cause much excitement out here. The general opinion is that the storm will "blow over in a few weeks. Some members, however, argue that "this is it" and that World War III is just around the corner. The Bamboo club went calling again. Fifteen of the "young men" last Tuesday afternoon were taken to the Roy Stanley ranch near Eagle Point and re port a delightful picnic. Those making the trip were Harry Gooding. Robert Griffie, An drew Garrison. John Bcarden, Leo Lamb, Samuel Hawkins, Fred Ward, N. Van Ncedu, Ed win Scott, Edward Grosh, Charles Lundueir, George Wick ham, Guy Foster, Abraham Rad cliffc and John Leuden. Red Cross workers furnished the transportation and the men spent an enjoyable three hours. Some 50 members were guests of Hie Fall City community club at a picnic last Sunday. From this California community came Mr. and Mrs. Bill Peard.

Foots Creek Barn Destroyed by Fire A barn in the Foots Creek area, owned by Dr. Frank Free burger, Medford, was destroyed by fire early this morning, the state forest patrol reported. Be lieved to have been caused by spontaneous combustion o f green hay, the fire started about midnight. The alarm was answered by Rogue River rural fire protec tion men and the forest patrol pumper was also called to stand by in case the blaze spread in to brush. About 65 tons of hay were reportedly stored In the barn. Forest patrolmen from Medford, Rogue River and Wimer an swered the call. ing the men at Tou Velle park.
