o EDUCATION BOARD URGES SANE FOURTH Mayors and Selectmen Forwarded Letters of Suggestion Letters are being' forwarded to the mayors ln.d first selectmen of cities and towns regarding the observance of Independence Day and how it should be celebrated These letters have been approved of by the state board of education and department of Americanization and are as follows: Texy of Letter. “Following the approval of the governor, 1 am sending you herewith & suggested program to be carried out by organizations in your community that the celebration of Independence Day may be carried out in a safe, sane and appropriate manner. Heretofore the Iourth of July has been little more than an excuse for a vacation jaunt or for meaningless shooting of fireworks and for making of unbearable - noises. A certain amount of this kind of celebration may be reasonable, but the signifi- cance of the day has too often, been obscured or wholly disregarded. This has been true of those recently ar- rived. on our shores who now con- stitute nearly one-third of our state, apd a considerable part of your city, and of tthose whese heritage is an ancestry dating back to the Revolu- tion. The spirit of the Fathers of the Re- public still guides the destiny of these United States. It is in our hands to see to it that this heritage is passed on, Independence Day, therefore, may well mark a rededication to America.and of America by native and forcign-born together to the {deals and principles of the founders of the nation. The American by birth, about to attain his majority, and the newly naturalized Ccitizen, American by choice, can unite on this day in consegration to American prin- ciples. An Independence Day program, im- pressive and dignified, can emphasize certain rights and privileges, certain duties and obligations. . Too long has America been a mere synonym ‘for op- portunity. Its people should not be merely receivers of protection of life and limb and prosperity, or education, public preferment and private gai There are certain reciprocal obliga- tions, to study domestic and foreign problems, to observe and measure the condlct of our lawmakers and ad- ministrators of law, to make them- selves heard when wrongs are to be rectified, to register, to vote, and to act as their conscience dictates. Plans Suggested. Every city and town has this great opportunity—to plan a public meet- ing, a civic court of honor, on Inde- pendence Day. There- may be a parade. or pageant to which every or- ganization and foreign-born group can contribute. The great events and epochs in our histary can be depicted from the eras of discovery, through revolution and eyvolution to the pres- ent. Invitations to the civic court of honor can be carried by the. Boy Scouts or similar organizations to those whose names and addresses are given them as foreigh-born' who have been newly naturalized during. the cWgrent year as well as to those native-born who will exercise their right of suffrage for the first time this year. Only by such means can the sacred privilege of citizenship be recognized by the community and raised to the position of honor it must hold. The meeting could be addresses by leading citizens and public officials. There can be an address by a pros- pective voter and a new citizen who should state rhat citizenship and civic responsib mean to them Stress may be laid upon the ideals and the meaning of America and the part it has played in forming a gov- ernment based upon the consent of the governed. But these talk ould be directed to certain practical ends, —to hasten the speaking of English for the development of a common Jahguage for the proper performance of their civic duties,—that industrial opportunitics may he gained and in- dustrial accidents avoided,~—to encour- age the reading of American news- papers,—to obtain undefstanding and friendships between native and foreign-born. There can be songs—of the old country-—and patriotic airs are sung by all. There can be a distribution of small American flags, and allegiance to the flag should be pledged. The mayor could issue an appro- priate proclamation. If the meeting is in the evening there could well be slides and motion pictures, etc. Through the eommittee of appointment of a prominent men and women representing ithportant or ganizations in your community who are interested in this vittal phase of Americanization, this event can be made one of the civic accomplish ments of the year and will be of in- estimable value to all concerned. It is hoped that our @esident's word of . welcome to all at these meetings will add that note of unity which will supplement the governor's and your own. e WOMEN MEN ADMIRE Men admire a pretty face, a good figure, but more than all a buoyant disposition and the charm of happy content. There is no question but what a light-hearted woman is the joy of a man’s life, but no woman can be happy and joyful when dragged down by the ailments that so often develop headaches, backache, nerv- ousness and “the blues." We are continually publishing in this pgper letters from women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after doctors and other medicines have failed to help them. 11l why not give it\a trial. EARTH SHOCKS FOR TOKIO ARE COMING| < Scientists Predict They Will Be Greater Than Ever Toklo, Jyne 15 (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press)-—The residents of Tokio and vicinity who experienced the earthquake April 26, when their houses rocked like ships in a heavy sea and moveable articles fell from tables and sideboards, have hardly been re.assured by the state- ment of Dr. Fusakichi Omori, famous seismologist and professor of the Im- perial university, that future shocks will at their greatest be about double the force of the last quake. The late one was considered bad enough. A wall areund the Imperinal Palace which had withstood shocks for 800 years fell into the surrounding moat; modern granite walls were damaged and a new reinforced concrete build- ing, one of several under construction by American firms, and which are be- lieved to be earthquake proof was slightly cracked. However, Dr. Omori says these buildings being on more fragile ground than other Tokio buildings, have proved their ability to withhold any shock that mlght in future visit the city, although ‘the lasty quake was only one-sixth the intensity of the shock of 1855 when 50,0004 houses were destroyed and 6,700 deaths resulted. 1460 Earthquakes Yearly. Dr. Omori's predictions are based on the known scientific fact that earthquakes are the phenomena ac- companying the removal of weak cleavages thus binding the strata and preventing the occurence of severer shocks. - There are an average of 1,460 earth- quakes yearly or about four daily felt in Japan, not including minor ones which are recorded only on the most delicate instruments and in 1,500 years there have been 224 more or less dis- astrous ones. Most of these originat- ed under the Pacific. During the last 20 years, said Dr. Omori, the origin of the earthquakes felt in Tokio has been always about 15 or 20 ri dis- tant from the city, there being no case in which Tokio or its vicinity was the origin. “It follows that these quakes had nothing to do with Tokio as a centre,” adds the professor, ‘‘but it must be feard that, as these quakes decrease in ‘number in the future, Tokio will be, in its turn the center of vibration. As a rule, however, points several rl distant from the cen- ter of vibration feel the quake more severely than the point of origin. For this reason, Tokio, Yokoham and Chiba built largely bn reclaimed land vibrate more thqu the scene of or- igin.” ==== “TIZ" FOR: ACHING, SORE, TIRED FEET Good-bye, sore feet, swollen feet, sweaty feet, tired feet.
