The past 15 years have been filled with ups and downs, the same as all other small businesses, but on the whole it has been a rewarding experience. Dur ing these years we have seen many changes, not only in our own area, but in the world. When we came up here at that time, we heard very lit tle about the various marches, campus demonstrations, hip pies, and all the rest of the sordid mess we find ourselves in these days. This Thursday we celebrate Independence Day. It is a far cry from what it was supposed to be when we broke away from the domination of Eng land. On Independence Day, 1968, it might be well for us to remind ourselves that the freedom which we commem orate is not self-perpetuating. It is something we must work for, conscientiously and con tinuously, even as did our forefathers. They were ready to die for freedom; can we do lees than strive to nurture and protect it? We have too many people these days who are willing to chip away, little by little, these freedoms we cherish most. Even in our colleges, many of which to me appear to be fostering socialism, from the faculty on down to a minority of the students. I think when we finally get around to putting the screws to these riots and other acts of violence against authority, we should make a clean sweep. We must sooner or later get back on the track of respect for the laws of our land—and begin chopping away at those who do not feel they have to obey the laws. If we continually let hippies roam our country, and rioters to loot and burn just because they feel they are not getting a fair shake in our complex society, we will finally deteriorate into a second-rate nation, and that would be a calamity.
