On the 4th of July, the bir thday of American Independence many people will be celebratig the occasion with pio nics, carnivals and parades. One large question pres en ts itself for the Town of Burnsville to answer. What happened to our celebration? In a large city there are usu ally fireworks and parades in sta diums or parks to commemorate the 4th—people take their chil dren, watch the display, and promptly forgo* it. But Number Forty-Throe mother, Mrs. Naomi Henry, was among the horrified onlookers. Others believe that Henry was caught in a downdraft, the plane then hit a power line and crashed. In any event, the pi lot evidently got a little closer to the ground than he had plan ned. Only by sheer luck was trag - edy averted in that there was nc loss of life or serious injury suf fered during the crash. when a person lives in a small town or community, the July 4th celebration is traditionally a memorable event. The people gather together in a spirit of u nity unique and wonderful, to share in the fun-making and speech-making that is a part of their The adults plan weeks ahead to make the day exciting and momentous. The children eagerly await the day as their fathers did before them. Except in Burnsville—no p 1 ans were made and it's too late now. Just how complacent are we? On Flag Day only half-a-do z e n flags fluttered in the breeze in the whole town. Independcnee Day brings no special celebration Where are the patriots?
