NEW YORK (API - "Is not
America already independent
demanded Samuel Adams of
Massachusetts after the colonial
forces had fought three battles
against the British.
"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."

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

per cent of the Korean veterans
have gone into the physical and
natural sciences, while only 1.2 per

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.

Mild DiMK
By EDWIN P. 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.
