Congratulations on two hundred years of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”. Hello, America, how does it feel to be two hundred years old? How does it feel to have lived through two hundred years of wars, depressions, recessions, bad presidents, good presidents, times that were worse than bad, and times that were better than good? How does it feel to be a great nation? Remember, America, when you were just a few years old and not even a nation yet, with stife and turmoil between your thirteen colonies and how a group of men got together and turned you into a nation? America, how about those years when no one stood beside you - years when everyone wanted nothing rare than to pick up a piece of the broken nation. But you showed them that you could make it on your own. Then came the wars. The Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II and when the wars were over, you emerged as a great nation, and remain so today. So happy two hundreth birthday, America! May you have another two hundred years of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.’ Mrs. Gretchen Corbitt Mrs. Corbitt's Book To Appear On Summer List Gretchen Johnson Corbitt, of Ridgecrest, has signed a contract with Exposition Press of New York.

Mrs. Humphrey is charmed with Highland Farms and wishes there were a place like it where she and so many of her friends live. At our Social Hour last Friday - as we sat beside the fire, our knitting needles click clacking - one of the members of the group mystified us with her account of a happening here last fall. She had returned from a trip and had stopped by to see a friend who gave her an egg for breakfast. On leaving, she had taken the egg to her car and placed it carefully on the front seat. Realizing at that moment that she had left her purse behind, she retraced her steps and retrieved it. But, when she got back to the car, the egg was missing! A thorough but futile search was made. It was never found. Wouldn’t you think by now this particular egg might have given us at least an olfactory clue as to its whereabouts?
