Independence Day
Twice four »core and »even year» ago on the Fourth of July, our national
destiny wa» »«xured by the Declaration of Independence.
The Fourth of July ha» had tinu»ual historic significance. On July 4,
1826, two A American president», who »Igned the historic document exactly
fifty year» before, died within hours of each other. One other American
president died on the Fourth of July. Another president, Calvin Coolidge
was born on Independence Day.
On this our 174th anniversary of independence, how independent are
we? Old idea» of Independence have long been discarded, Today, we need
a Declaration of <k>-operation to supplement a Declaration of Independence.
Co-operation Is the crying need for any society a» complicated and
delicate a» our». Unwlllingne»» of individuals to co-operate in the interest»
of all Individuals has made Independence for »»me, but dependence for too |
many others.
Old Ideas die hard. The independence of our nation 1» essential, but
the freedom of the individual must Is- modified by the public good. It’s best
that the Individual recognize his place In society, that he willingly sab-
ordinate his own wishes and desires In the interests of others.
Independence 1» wonderful, but if each of us went our merry way it |
wouldn’t b<- long before we wouldn't be free to do anything.
A Declaration of Co-operation In the common Interest Is the crying need
of the hour.
The Pioneer
We like to honor the pioneer who braved the forest» and carved an
empire out of a wlldeme»». Yet, we often forget to recognize that most
pioneer» hail a great fear.
That fear was the fear of civilization.
You’ve heard storie» of pioneers who had lived alone In the wilderneHM
for year» suddenly deciding to move because someone else had settled In
a clearing twenty miles away down the creek.
The terror» of civilized men In the »mall nineteenth century center» of
population helped drive the pioneer westward. If that comparatively rural
situation terrified him M, with what horror would the pioneer regard the
modern cities where men swarm by the thousand»?
To the pioneer it 1» easier to face nature on a rampage than the
multiple force» of man. Judging by how poorly men get along with other
men, we cun’t »ay that he acted unwisely.
Modern num has been forced to live among thousands of his fellows,
continually adjusting his own wants to the command» of society. It 1» a
nerve-wracking, turbulent world that modern man must face.
lie who think» the pioneer faced the only challenge 1» mistaken. The
challenge of men adjusting themselves to an unnatural civilized state of
affairs and learning to live together more harmoniously, yet retaining the
dignity of personal Independence, 1» the challenge that even the pioneer
wa» afraid to face.

Husbands and Leopards Return,
But Is It for Lunch or Love?
-------------------------------- By BILLY ROSE------------------------------
Some weeks ago when the newspapers front-paged the story of
the leopard which strolled back into its cage after being AWOL for
three days, a lot of people wondered whether it returned because it
was hungry or because it was lonely for a certain lady leopard in
the next enclosure.
It so happened that around the same time, by a strange double-
take of destiny, my Uncle Charlie also went on the prowl, and his re­
turn a few days later raised the identical question on the lower East
Side—was it lunch or was it love?
It all began when my Aunt Frieda------------------------------------------------
