"Then why not declare it?" But the statesmen of 1776 moved leisurely toward the fram ing and adoption of "the noblest document in political history. The North Carolina Legislature voted on April 12 to join any other colonics in a declaration of hide- pendence. Virginia on May 15 voted to Initiate the declaration And so on June 7 one of its dele- gates, Richard Henry Lee, arose in the Continental Congress and moved that: "These united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and in dependent states." Helped by the wisdom of Ben jamin Franklin and John Adams, young Thomas Jefferson com posed the historic document in 18 days. To Mm it was more than a political statement, it was a pro found testament of the imperish able rights of all men. As any young author would, Jefferson writhed at the changes Congress made in his master piece. It deleted his censure of the British people and his stirring denunciation of human slavery. It inserted appeals to "Providence. But the document remains as Jet for sons mightiest monument. Although Congress voted inde pendence on July 2. it didn't adopt the declaration until July 4, and it wasn't publicly read until several days later. Heralded as a "unanimous dec laration," it wasn't at the time. New York "abstained from voting, and Pennsylvania and Deleware cast divided votes. But by July 15th, when the declaration was or dered engrossed, it had become unanimous. It is doubtful if anyone signed the declaration the day Congress passed it. Some men who voted lor it on July 4 never did get to lign it; some signed it who weren't present when It was first passed. . What sort of men were they who risked tho hangman's noose to put their names to the declara tion? Not at all the immature or in two weeks and there never was much time to rehearse," says Kathy. "So learning one script a week for television is a breeze." "One of my first jobs after I came to New York was with a road company of 'Captain Kidd's Re turn," says he. "The cast of six traveled in a station wagon with the scenery strapped on top, and when we got to a town we were playing we had to put up our own scats and press our own cos- times. That sort of thing makes you rugged and you have to be rugged to take the television pace. Kalhy's main job now is with a weekly TV show, "The Real Mc Coys," in which she is co-starred with Walter Brennan. Previously she has had featured roles in number of radio and television shows, including the role of Wendy "Peter Pan," which starred Mary Martin. When you play on a showboat, the audience talks back to you, and you talk back to them. They cheer the hero and hiss the villain, and sometimes they try to warn the actors about what's coming," says 24-year-old Kathy. 'For instance, in a play where Ihe villain is lurking behind a tree, the audience may shout 'Look Out!' when the heroine comes on stage. Then she says in an aside to them, 'I'm not supposed to know he's there' and goes on with the show. It's all live, it's human and it's fun." Kathy is going back this sum mer to play a one-night stand in Lure of the City" aboard the Goldenrod, now anchored at St. Louis. Says she: "I can't wait to go back. It will be such a thrill to do the old part once again. And see the wonderful old showboat, and all my friends, including Capt. Billy Merike. Be sides 'Lure of the City' has al ways been my very favorite Play." dependents, and most of these are supporting youngsters as well as wives while going to school, The VA report pointed out they are concentrating in science and engineering in greater proportion than did WW II veterans. Eight per cent of the Korean veterans were training for engineering, com pared with under six per cent of World War II veterans. Nearly two per cent of the Korean veterans have gone into the physical and natural sciences, while only 1.2 per cent of the World War II group did. i QUESTION OK THE WEEK: A As the widow of a veteran who died of a service-connected injury, I receive monthly survivor benefit payments from the VA based on my husband's pay while in service. I understand my pay ments will increase somewhat, now that the pay for most military ranks has just gone up. When will my increase show up in my check? A It may lake several months to adjust accounts of all widows entitled to the increased payments since each case must be examined individually. Any increase will be paid automatically, and will be dated back to the first of June, the day the new military pay scale took over.

Here is what the Encyclopedia Americana has to say on the subject: Only two of the 56 signers were bachelors. Sixteen were married twice. The signers fathered 325 children. Slightly more than half were Episcopalians. The rest were Con gregationalism, Preshyte r i a n s, Quakers, Baptists and Catholics. Ten were the sons of preachers.

However, most of the signers remained active in public life. Two later became U. S. presi dents J e f f e r s o n and John Adams. Elhridgo Gerry served as vice president under James Mad ison.

Life By DOROTHY UOE Associated Press Women's Editor Life on a Mississippi showboat has much in common with life in a television studio, says small, red haired Kathy Nolan, who Is well acquainted with both. Kathy's professional career be gan at the age of 13 months, aboard the showboat Goldenrod, whicii plied the Mississippi from Cincinnati to New Orleans. From then until the age of 17, Kathy played Ihe full range of parts in such tried-and-true thrill ers as "Ten Nights in a Bar room," "East Lynnc," and "Lure ot the City," living aboard the boat much of the time with her patents.

Another 500,00ft are expected to enroll before tho Korean GI Bill ends in 10B5. Some two million forfeited rights by failing to enter training in time, VA said. The law allows Korea veterans three years from dis charge to start training. Once the deadline passes, it's too late. According to the report, the Ko rean GI Bill "is predominantly a college program. More than half of all trainees have headed for Ihe college campus and of these 12 per cent are taking graduate level courses. About 29 per cent of the World War II veterans who trained under the original GI Bill went to college. Also, the report said, Korea vet erans have been entering training at a younger age than the World War II veterans. Average age for Korean group was 24; for WW II, nearly 27. ( VA said 61 per cent of all Ko rea veteran students were under 25 when they started, compared with 42 per cent of the World War II veterans.

JORDAN, M.D. Written for NEA Service Many persons have been much disturbed because one of the rheu matic diseases commonly goes un der the name of "osteoarthritis." When people are told they have this Ihey frequently become terri bly frightened, for the name sug gests that inflammation is present in the joint. But .this is not often the case and the condition almost never leads to the kind of severe crip pling which people fear so much. Actually, osteoarthritis is a mild degeneration, or wearing out, of some of the tissues which make up the joints. It is a kind of aging of the joints which usually shows up first in those joints which do the most work, such as the knees, hips or fingers. The exact cause or causes 'are poorly understood. There may be an inherited factor. That is, the cartiliige and bone of people in some families may be more sus ceptible to early degeneration than that of. others. Repeated injury also undoubted ly speeds the development of this condition. Poor . posture, distur bance of blood circulation and ex cessive weight are 'other conditions which are believed to contribute to the development of osteoarthrit- The end joints of the fingers fre quently become enlarged. This is often accompanied by a certain amount of stiffness and soreness which usually disappears to some degree after the joints have been loosened up. These enlargements are particularly common in t h e later years ot life and t:e called Hcberden's nodes. The knees, shoulders, elbows and spine are other joints commonly involved. Sometimes "degeneration may be pretty well advanced without pro ducing any noticeable pain or stiff ness. Osteoarthritis is often found accidenlly when an X-ray film is taken for something else. The treatment of degenerative changes in the joints includes mea sures aimed at relieving the dis comfort and improving the gener al physical condition. The proper use of heat, massage or special supports depends on which joints are involved, the age and physical condition of the per son and the severity of the symp loins.
