There are speeches, programs and various celebrations as the men and women of today eulogize the great event of 1776. The adoption of a resolution authored by five members of the Continental Congress, July 4, 1776, is one of the great days of democratic civilization and history. The resolution was authored by Thomas Jefferson, chairman, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Roger Livingston. Adoption of the resolution dissolving ties between England and the American colonies, required courage and faith. Today, however, the historic Fourth has become identified as a day of leisure, marked by deaths, accidents, games and amusement. We doubt if many readers of this editorial have recently read the words of the Declaration. We recommend, therefore, that citizens take time out, on a busy day, and carefully consider the truths that Mr. Jefferson so ably expressed. fUCK AWAV'. • • JSS&gT to Ä r on A TO PINO TomebooyO^ CATION AN EMT^eNCy THAT'S A FAIT SPEED DEMONS HOW FAST IS THOUGHT ?

ANP-YOUlL HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF HELPING YOUR COUNTRY! JULY, 1965 Juiy always ushers in the second half of the calender year. It is the first month of the fiscal year and has more than ordinary importance in the business world. For Americans July is an especially historic month. Our independence is celebrated on the Fourth, of course, and the Battle of Gettysburg was fought during the first three days of July in 1863. July is named for Julius Caesar, a change from its former name of Quintilis, changed on the order of Mark Antony, and was the month in which Caesar was born In Anglo — Saxon history the month was called Litha se Oefterra, which meant mild. The origin of this word is rooted in the fact that the meadows were in bloom and the hills green in this month. July is .the month of full — bloom summer, or mid — summer. After July, it is apparent, even in hot August, that summer is running out. It is the month of vacations, holidays, swimming and outdoor pleasures, and then memories of summer and beautiful days and nights — are memories for winter. Joseph A. DeBoth, Veteran Branch Officer, Honored The members of Branch 89, Homestead, Pennsylvania, are of one mind that their longtime secretary-treasurer, Joseph A. DeBoth, is not only a capable and loyal branch officer but a man who truly rates the complimentary adjectives “friendly” and “gentlemanly”. He is a highly educated man — a retired mechanical engineer — who has always lived without ostentation and has maintained a proper level of humility. That is why officers, members and friends happily witnessed the presentation of the Illustrious Citation and Gold Emblem to Mr. DeBoth the evening of June 16, 1965 at Paule’s Look-Out restaurant high above the confluence of the Monongahela (Mo-non-ga- HEE-la) and Youghiogheny (Yok-o-GAY-nee) rivers in McKeesport. The presentation was made by Regional Manager Gus G. Nagy. This award, the highest of the Association, is granted by the Beard of Directors to members who have given outstanding service to Branch and Association for at least 15 years. The picture shows Regional Manager Nagy making the presentation to Branch 89 Secretary-Treasurer DeBoth, while Andrew Sclay and Bert Priam, President and Vice President respectively of Branch 89, witness the ceremony and extend their congratulations. In addition to the award, Mr. DeBoth received a gift from his fellow branch officers. Among those already named, others who were present at the ceremony and festivities were William C. Kchut, Auditor of Branch 89 and Secretary of the National Auditing Committee, Miss Margaret Evans, Branch 89 Reporter, and her mother, Mrs. Gus G. Nagy, Mrs. Andrew Solay, Mrs. Bert Priam and Michael Zsednasky. Gur congratulations to awardee Joseph A. DeBoth.
