GREENVILLE, THURSDAY, JULY 3,1958 THE RECORD-ARGUS SECOND SECTION 1776 and 1958 It is doubtful whether Americans today fully realize the bold and daring nature of the decision wihch led to the Declaration 6f Independence on July 4, 1776. The 13 colonies along tlhe Atlantic Seaboard were small and weak and the colonists were bitterly; divided on the wisdom of the stfep. It took no little courage for men like Thomas Jefferson, Caesar Rodney, Benjamin F.ranklin Thomas McKean to risk their lives and fortunes by openly defying the great power of tlhe British: crown to 'declare these colonies "free and independent states?" Not a day spent in the usual holiday manner or the rocket's red glare will contain tlhe meaning of Independence Day. The true meaning is to preserve a high' esteem for the gift of freedom at a time when the darkness of tyranny is an ever-present menace. An anniversary is empty unless one rededicates himself to original purposes.

The original purpose of Dhis nation, as eloquently expressed by its founders, was equality of opportunity for all. The thought itself at that time, 182 years ago, was world-shaking. A great many Americans and most foreigners thought the colonists would not get away with it. It was an ideal, for a fact, and in numerous ways America has fallen short of it. i the ideal, in its general form, has fiad a great triumph here in tlhe New World.

During the nineteenth and part of the twentieth centuries it has been a leaven in many lands. It has made America the greatest of all nations. The divine right of kings has been thrown off. Despotism has reemerged in a large part of the world in another form. Individuals seeking power agitate against republican processes behind glowing promises which hide their diabolical-purpose.

Finally the agitators, installed in places of power, rule not by divine right but by the authority of force and fear. Thus the clock turns back and the American ideal suffers. VOICE OF BROADWAY On the Bulletin Board By DOROTHY KILOALLEN Watch Him A large proportion of the populace will take to motor cars for trips to points far and near over the long week-end. Highways -will carry more than their normal volume of traffic. Many drivers will be careless, some because of high spirits incident to a holiday, others because they are habitually unthinking when behind steer ing wheel.

A few will be under the influence of liquor. Most drivers are responsible and obey the rules, of safe driving as a matter of custom. In the next four days an unusual burden will be upon them. It is the necessity of watching not only their own driving but that of others. The selfish motorist depends upon-others yielding to' him.

And yielding, regardless of how irksome because of the crass disregard, of one's righits, Is the only way to promote safety. The meek in traffic have a better chance of getting home alive than''do' the road hogs. It will be especially important to watch bhe other driver this traffic-jammed week-end. It Is imperative that every driver be prepared for any hare-brained highway maneuver. U.

After Pound was released from St.

Keep away from it! A lot of people do not recognize the three-leafed clinging vine whose sap can cause so mudh pain and suffering. And even if they know the plant and consequently sidestep it, they may come in contact with it indirectly through animals, clothing or objects which have been in contact with the plant.

Susceptible persons suffer a skin dermatitis not only from poison ivy but poison oak and poison sumac. First aid after exposure consists of first washing thorpughly with strong soap and water. The itching may be relieved by soothing lotions. Secondary infection sometimes follows scratching which complicates the Poison ivy has ruined many a vacation period, and the presence of it has prevented many a golfer from retrieving balls 'that go into rough. In a recent year, more than 2,000 employees of a state highway department contracted ivy poisoning, losing from two to five days of work.

Arid this in spite of a program of inoculations, eradication of roadside growth of'the plant, and familiarity with the vine. Poison ivy can be removed from the vicinity of the home by cutting and the use of chemical solutions or kerosene early in the spring. Desensitizing may be accomplished by repeated inoculations of ivy extract before the ivy season begins. Some persons are so susceptible that even smoke from the burning plant may cause skin reaction and poison ivy dermatitis. Do You Know?

The 287-mile line links this capital city, over 9,000 feet up in the towering Andes, with the bustling port of Guayaquil on the Pacific. Its completion 50 years ago marked a turning point in the unification of this republic by opening a vast territory for agricultural and industrial development. It was long the dream of Eloy Alfaro, Ecuador's president at the turn of the century. Two Virginians, the brothers Archer and John Harman, made the dream comes true -after British financiers put up 17 million dollars. Archer Harman was a financier and his brother a military engineer.

They had to construct much of line in a zig-zag course, and build many tunnels and bridges to get around the Andean peaks ranging from 14,000 to 26,000 feet. 11-Hour Trip Now A few years ago, 36 hours were required to make the trip, with frequent changes of engines. Improved equipment has cut the time to 11 hours. Passenger trains leave Quito at 7. a.m., and arrive in Guayaquil at 6 p.m.

First stop is Latacunga. Nearby are the volcano of Cotopaxi, 19, 613 feet, and peaks capped with eternal snows. Cotopaxi marks the first crossing of the Andes. This bleak. and cold region is the land of the largest living bird, the condor.

The next station, Ambato, Is situated in a rich agricultural region at an altitude of 8,431 feet. It is the center of vegetable and fruit production. Riobamba shows up next after a gradual climb to the highest point on the line at Urbina 11,841 feet. After Riobamba, the train goes over narrow gorges and through many tunnels. Before reaching Huigra, it climbs the famous Nariz del a perpendicular ridge rising out of the gorge of the Chanch River to 1,000 feet.

1 Ten Yean to Build This almost insurmountable engineering obstacle was finally conquered when a series of switchbacks was built on a per cent grade. There's a steady descent after the train recrosses the Chan-chan River, creeping along a narrow River, creeping along aa narrow ledge between mountains and canyons. From the base Of the Andes, a long stretch of flat inundated lowland leads toward Guayaquil. It took 10 years to btjild the railroad. EDGAR A.
