And for the support of the Declaration, with a tirm reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” It is a good idea in these days of confus ion, and in a dark and troubled world, to read once again these words ot our tore boar-,. and to renew, from them, our sir, r.gth. our courage and our confidence in the future. The days in which they lived were days of confusion, too, and the future one of un certainty and doubt. Against them were arrayed the resources and the strength ot the richest and the most powerful nation in the world. Britannia's fleet controlled the seas. Throughout the war she would have the initiative to land troops and sup plies at the times and places of her own choosing. Her army was well equipped, well trained, well disciplined, and supple mented by equally capable and efficient mercenaries. Her war chest was unbound ed, subject only to the whims of Purlin - . men*.

July, 1954) One hundred seventy-eight years ago. ily 4th, a small group of men gathered in V>kii.idelnhia aill.xed then ine second ana xourin oi inese- ianui> are of interest to every member of the Xa- < tional Rifle Association of America. They j ought to be of interest as well to every loyal American citizen for they are just as ! important factors today as they were j almost two centuries ago in an effective J and well-balanced scheme of national de- j tense. It was the inventive genius of the Ameri can colonists that produced the Kentucky rifle. They were the forerunners of the great names of our munitions industry— names like Whitney and Hall, Colt and Sharps, Smith and Wesson, Winchester and Remington, Gatling and Browning, arid many, many others equally as famous. Since the days of the Revolution, the in ventive genius and the industrial capacity of our arms and ammunition manufactur ers have been the bulwark of our national security. The ability to turn out superior weapons quickly and in the quantity requir ed to arm ourselves and our allies has been decisive in the last two great wars. That ability will be decisive, too, if ever we be come embroiled in world war III. The inventive genius of a Colt and the gunsmithing skill of a Whitney are essen tial to the defense of our country. They must be recognized as such and afforded , proper protection in the trends towards lower tariffs and freer trade with which I agree basically. These things cannot be stockpiled like tin or copper. They can be kep+ alive only in the brains and in the lingers of men gainfully employed in a e< ntitniing and healthy private industry. No weapon, regardless of how superior it may be, is actually effective unless it: is in the hands of a man trained to use it. Here again our forefathers had a distinct advantage overtire British, for dec 'ruing or. an Kpgdsh \ is it or in ITT!, there yas "not a J>!ait "ini til America that does not ttulerstami the L'se of Firearms and- that liUiVUU'U nun of those days, was the thing that counted. Hi is is easily attested hi the comparison.vd casualties among the opposing forces of .every battle of the Rex olulion. Regardless of theorists to the contrary, widespread nc.pmintance w’ith'firearms and the ability to sin Hit then; accurately are as essential unlay as they were then. The National Riiie Association,, as .one of its purposes, encourages "develo; hie lit ot American small arms, ammunition and ac cessories." Our major task, ■ however, is "to educate and train citizens of good re pute in the safe and etficient handling of small arms . . It is immaterial whether this training is conducted on a ride range as part of a supervised recreational program, or pre paratory to hunting in the field, or in con junction with the courses of fire sponsored by tin' National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. The irr'- vtant thing is that we do our utmost to see that every loyal citizen is acquainted with firearms and is trained to use the",; safely and ef fectively. it was Cromwell who. -aid-. when, his troops were about to cross a river to attack the enemy.

It is pleasant to report that almost all the economists, like Mr. Bahson, are optomistic as to retailing's future prospects.

Strongest indication that business is headed for new achievements comes from the construction industry; all its segments foresee all-time record expenditures this year. Manufactures of clay tile floor and wall surfacing material, for example, expect as much as a 10 per cent dollar increase in their -ales. Government experts concur; they forecast a new record of $36 billion worth of construction. Buildings will be better as well as more numerous. In private | housing, quality materials are be ing used as never before. The trend is toward floor-to-ceiling clay tile installations in bathrooms and kitchens. The use of such superior materials, as well as the addition of hosts of time-saving conveniences, make today's houses the best ever built in volume.

THE CHRISTIAN VIEWPOINT Prepared by Deparlment of Bible Presbyterian Junior College Maxton, North Carolina Once “Jesus said, "A new com mandment 1 trive unto you, that ye love one another even as 1 have io\e<i you, that ye also love one another." (John 1JJ14) Then he | added, “By this shall all men know 'that ye are my disciples, if ye | have love one to another.” (John ! :;t.v) One of the best ways we j ean witness to our Christian di« jcipleship in this world of strife land animosity is by our attitude : of brotherliness and consideration I for our fellow Christians. Tha. uH be true even when we dis agree with them. The Apostle Paul shows how we in America should tise our liber "For. bre'iiren, ye have been , a'.jed unto liberty: only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh but ' v love serve one another. For ail ihi' law is fulfilled in one word, a in this; Thou shalt love thy gs thvself. But if ve bite and devour one another, take heed ti.at ye be not consumed one of another. This 1 say then. lk in •he Spirit, and ye shall fulfill the lost of the flesh.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have cruci fied the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, providing one another, envying one another. (Gal. 5:12-26). “As we have therefore oppor tunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Gal. 6:10). Fertilizer Up Only About 12 Percent While the cost of all goods and ;r'■vices used in farm production has increased by 132 percent since 1035, the average cost of plant food in. t-h■■ form of commercial fertilizer has gone up only about 12 percent over the same span of ! years, according to The National I Fertilizer Association. I Op'icin! reports of the U. P. Do j nartment of Agriculture show | the* tlie "cost per ton of commer jeial fertilizer innereased by 51 | percent from 1035 to 1053. In the i - ante period, however, the aver age plant food content of a ton of fertilizer also has been increas ed by nearly 35 percent. Thus tbp increase in the average content of active ingredients has largely olf j i ■ k ■ highi r cost. Farmers today arc able to buy I food in the 15 : :n of com 1 mcreial fertilizer at a price which | is very little more than they were jtr.y was just emerging from its * most disastrous depression. Fvon when the increase in plant food content is ignored, VSDA reports show that the average price per ton of commercial fertilizer has increased far less than the prices of other commodities and services its, d in farm production. One reason for the relatively mall increase in fertilizer prices I when the prices of most other commodities were skyrocketing has been theh tremendous expan sion in the use of fertilizer, Bus sell Coleman, NFA president, ex plains. Nearly 5 times as much plant food was used by American farmers in 1953 as in 1935, and total tonnage of fertilizer was j enarly quadrupled. The fertilizer | industry was relatively small in I the 1930’s, but today is one of the .major segments of the American heavy chemical industry. V tremendous expansion in fertilizer use has led to vastly improved efficiency in production and dis tribution, Dr. Coleman points out. Advances in fertilizer technology have lowered manufacturing costs and made possible the production of better quality materials with improved physical properties which make storage and the jot> of spreading easier and less cost ly to the farmer.
