Why The Fourth? It Happened hold truths be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." On this Fourth of July 1959, to he observed it might he a good idea to quicken faith in the imperishable ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, as given above. Where can we find a more appropriate Statement of the American way of life'' There is no more practical way, therefore, that we can keep faith with the ideals of our Founding Fathers than by actively and personally participating in the affairs of our respective communities, our state and our nation, and by taking the lead in displaying and urging and aiding in the display of the new 49-Star American Flag which is legally adopted on this Independence Day. In this historic Fayette fountainhead of American the early years of Washington and his exploits with the French, Indians, British and stubborn colonists are not too well known by the present generation. Commander Paul E.

Walters, Dept, of Pennsylvania, The American Legion, aptly puts it: "Of all the holidays set aside in our daily calendar, it is appropriate that Independence Pay should be the time for expressing a prayerful gratitude that we live in peace today in a wonderful country, U.S. Milestone Sometime today, the 175 millionth motor vehicle built in the United States since 1896 will roll off a final assembly line.

For this reason, the 175 millionth vehicle, whether car, truck or bus, will remain anonymous as it passe? this milestone in automotive history. Today the industry employs some 725,000 and draws raw materials, parts and assemblies from more than 30,000 independent suppliers. Since 1896, these workers and suppliers, with their predecessors over the years, have built 143 million passenger cars and 32 million trucks and buses valued at. $193 billion.

Annual production now runs well above $10 billion. Eleven million Americans produce, service or operate motor vehicles in commerce more than one in every seven U. S. jobholders. Life Span Some 700,000 11, S.

Almost all Americans own or use motor vehicles, the 81 million licensed drivers for 68.3 million registered vehicles pile up 656 billion miles on S. roads and streets annually. Seventy-five per rent of atl American families own automobiles, 11 per rent having two or more.

Research and engineering have kept pace with Accelerating production. Due to growing demand, the latest 25 million vehicles wore produced in less than one-seventh the span of years in which the first 25 million were built and sold. Just lour years ago, in 1953, the industry commemorated completion of its 150 millionth. It took 29 years, from 1896 to 1925, to reach the first 25 million mark. But the average 1925 passenger car had a life expectancy of only 26.000 miles In 6 3 years, while today car travels four times as far in its 12-year life time! Fortune magazine reports: year U.

LAST is one thing that cannot be preserved in alcohol Geographer Commands Attention WASHINGTON After 100 years, Alexander von Humboldt, a one man academy of science, more than ever commands the awe of the scholarly world. Ho was an anthropologist, astronomer, botanist, geographer, geologist, geophysicist, meteorologist, oceanographer, and zoologist-all rolled into one In each field he made distinguished contnbitions For any, he collected some Wi.ooo specimens and described 3.500 new species, For geography, he fathered the modern science and started climatology as a study in itself, says the National Geographic Society Thomas Jefferson proudly received von Humboldt at lo Charles Darwin called him the scientific traveler that ever Ralph Waldo Finer son declared he was of those wonders ot the world, like Artis- totle.

like Julius Caesar, like the Admirable Crichton, who appear from time to time, as if to show us the possibilities of the human mind, the force and range of the universal This year the world is marking the 100th anniversary his death, which occurred on May 6. 1050 But in a sense the recent International Geophysical Year is his monument, for he led the way toward world wide cooperation among scientists. Born in Barlin in 17H9. von Humboldt was the son of a chamberlain to Frederick the Great He became a mine director in his early twenties but it enough to keep him busy He studied electricity and published the results of his experiments in two books In 1799 Kmg Charles IV of Spain gave him per mission to travel without restriction in Spanish America Within a year, von Hiunboldt had explored Venezuela extensively and found the connection between the Orinoco and Amazon rivers Hr went to Cuba and wrote a book on Cuba political history. The part dealing with slavery was suppressed when the book was published in the United States, where somewhat similar conditions existed, but von report probably hastened slavery's abolition He studied mining in Mexico, the guano deposits in Peru, and ecology in Ecuador Before leaving the Americas he had long conversations with his friend Jefferson most virtuous of men Von Humboldt returned to Europe with great chests of plant and rock specimens, notes and diagrams He set up headquarters in Napoleon's Par.s There he wrote voluminously, and hts fame spread.

Tsar Nicholas of Russia sponsored hts expedition to the Ural and Altai where he studied gold and platinum mining He traveled far as the Chinese frontier. During his final years, von Humboldt worked on his 30-volume masterpiece Cosmos, dealing with the most diverse scientific subjects The index alone amounted to no less than 1,117 A 1st of his achievements might run almost as long. In anthropology he recognized the importance of environment in the formation of customs; in astronomy, he first observed with instruments the great meteor showers of 1799. I nside Labor Bv Victor Riesel RIESEL That, not-so-ancient mariner Alfred Bryant Renton Bridges (Harry, to you) has some plans for the morning of Oct. deadline for his moves to have the waterfront come up in the murky dawn as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean i strategem calls for shutting down every port from Maine to Texas, every harbor from western Canada to south of the border Not a ship would move.

Not an American vessel. Not a foreign one. Not a bag would be loaded. The docks would clog. Goods would bulge out the walls of warehouses.

Freight would back up. Railroads would embargo their loadings at inland depost. Harry Bridges would hang an albatross around the neck of American commerce Harry and his boys in the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union have been planning this for months. After one skull session, Bridges and his hraintruster and comrade. Louis Goldhlatt, flew out of San Francisco on June 21, That was a Sunday, but they knew just where to reach an old friend, James Riddle Hoffa They were expected.

The next day Bridges and Goldblatt went straight to Brother Hoffa office, where the electronic weather conditioning unit and sliding panels devised by American capitalist ingenuity dampen Bridges' class conscious soul. There he spoke softly, almost crooned, what has been described by a witnessing wit as a "September song." Bridges turned to leaders of the East Coast waterfront union, the International Assn They had been called in by Brother Hoffa Bridges said there really wasn't much time. Between them they could shut down every American port on the night of Sept. 30. At that time the contracts covering some 35,000 dockwallopers on piers from Portland, Maine, to Rrownsville, Texas, expire There will be a strike Everybody on the inside of the famed waterfront expects one Everybody is preparing for it.

Shippers and importers are stocking up This ILA stoppage is expected to be fought over automation. On the docks this means automatic loading, speedier movement into the hulls and the packaging of loose cargo in huge containers. Note the word Instead of hundreds of crates or hags 'being loaded individually, first be packed in big metal New big loading gear will then scoop up the containers instead of slings waiting for broad-shouldered men to tote every bale The ILVs experts say that this will cut the number of jobs in New York harbor from some 24.000 to less than ooo And the hurly burly waterfront of old will become merely a and an old motion picture So the ILA's national headquarters is preparing to strike, There will be much talk of this come July 13 when the ILA's convention meets in Miami Beach Harry Bridges to the ILA there under the beaming Jim Hoffs that he could strike the Coast too And right at the same time The contracts of Bruges' Pacific-Hawaiian-Alaskan Longshoremen Union expired on he orning erald Fayette County Only Morning Founded 1907 PubUthed morning except and by Unlontown S-10 last Church Unlontown, Pa. and Editor D.

Pratt, Manchester, N. lived to be nearly a hundred of age. His diet, the man with the hives tells me, was mainly milk, mutton, salt mackeral and honey Dr. Pratt always had 6 or 8 hives of bees. The man with the hives wonders why I advise people to eat honey.

Probably it is merely because I like honey. However, there are a good many foods I don't advise people to eat, foods that are as wholesome and healthful as any I do advise. In regard to honey my advice is: eat it if you like it. The man with the hives has several customers over 75 who eat honey every day. One customer is 80 and he does on goat's milk, eggs, plain wheat and honey.

Another is 86, husky, never sick, Still another is 88 and going strong. The man himself says he lives on honey, cottage cheese, buttermilk, skim milk, plain wheat and things made of it, sauerkraut, plenty of eggs, a little meat and "the Sanitarium here is filled mostly with wrecks from improper food and drink," he says. Adulteration of honey In the comb is practically impossible, but it is not unlawful to feed bees sugar syrup or other artificial sugar food and so produce honey that is virtually adulterated by the bees. Pure honey usually contains 8 to 10 per cent cane sugar which the bees have gathered from the plants they feed on. When honey contains much more than 8 to 10 per cent cane sugar it is very likely adulterated by the producer.

One-sixth to one-fourth of the weight, or volume of comb honey is water. The principal sweet components of honey are dextrose and levulose. Both of these sugars are obtained from the blossoms the bees feed on Honey has about the same food value (calories) as commercial glucose, maple syrup or molasses. Except flavor, if you are fond of honey, there is no par- BRADY ticular reason for preferring honey to other sweeteners, in my judgment. 1 The man with the hives makes no extravagant claim for its remedial or medicinal value, although he implies that one who eats honey every day will live long.

always quizzing elderly persons who have more than ordinary vite. about their diet, and I recall one who even mentioned honey. I have suspicion that most octo- and nona-gener- ians who still get about under their own power prefer delicacies not so sweet as honey. The man with the hives may June 15. Negotiations have been sluggishly quiet so far.

Bridges explained he eould let these negotiations just roll along until September. Then the cargo heavers on both coasts could hit the docks together. Hoffa pledged the usual pledges. The Teamsters would support the strikes. ILA president Bill Bradley came out to report that he told Bridges never to darken the eastern docks again.

But September is a few crises away arvd portly Bill Bradley may not be the ILA chief then. However, Brother Hoffa did not tell Brother Bridges not to darken his marble portals again. Yet Hoffa knows that Harry Bridges recently returned from Tokyo. There Bridges set up a permanent world maritime federation. Most of the affiliated unions are Communist controlled.

Most are on the record as spewing hatred at the U. They have a global headquarters there. In charge is Tomitaro Kaneda. president of the All- Japan Dockworkers Union, devotees of Peiping and Moscow They maritime affiliates have promised not to unload U. S.

ships diverted from any of the struck U. S. ports. It could all be as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. (Distributed 1959.

by The Hall Syndicate. Inc.) The Neighbors be half right in his conjecture that the sanitarium is filled mostly with wrecks from improper food and drink mostly drink, I dare say. Again he makes no extravagant claim that the patients, guests, or inmates might have kept out of the taarium if they had eaten honey every day.
