AS AMERICA CELEBRATED its Bicentennial birthday
July 4th, many nations of the world sent gifts, congratulations,
and messages of good will. The tiny nation of Israel also sent a
message—perhaps more meaningful than all the rest.
The daring Israeli mission to rescue 104 hostages held by
Palestinian terrorists in Uganda should be applauded by all
civilized peoples and nations. Moreover, this bold act of resolve
should serve as a warning to would-be terrorists and two-bit
dictators, like Uganda s Amin, who harbor and condone ter
rorist activities, that such acts will not be tolerated.
Once and for all, the responsible nations of the world must
make it clear that acts of terrorism will receive the full measure
of international revulsion, and that no longer will we sit idly
by and permit terrorists to operate with impunity.
* * *
THE ISRAELI ACTION is also an important signal for
America as she enters the .last quarter of the 20th century.
America grew to greatness by adhering to principles of integrity,
justice, and freedom from oppression or intimidation.
In recent years, it seems that our nation has become so eager
to cooperate with other nations in the interest of harmony that
we have been willing to place our own ideals on the back burn
ers to avoid dispute. This is wrong. We should cooperate with
other nations only so long as justice and our integrity are
preserved.
The Israelis demonstrated this. As fireworks blanketed the
skies all over America in memory of our fight for independence,
the little democracy of Israel was fighting to protect its integrity
and its citizens.
When word of their success shot around the world, it was
clear that while America celebrated principles that made our
nation strong and our nation great, the State of Israel was
demonstrating the courage and conviction that must lie at the
foundation of a strong democratic government.
We must dedicate ourselves to the same course. We have
principles and ideals that are worth having. And they are worth
protecting. The struggle to ensure our freedom is never-ending.
Yet, we must meet the challenges, wherever they present
themselves.

/OLD TIME
remedies
BY TOM O’DELL
Ingrown toenails can cause excruciating pain. I know you
sufferers will welcome these old remedies: Soak the foot in
warm water and soap for one-fourth hour, until the nail be
comes quite soft and pliable, then with a knife, scrape the
nail quite thin on its upper surface. This will cause it to
flatten out in growing, and to assume its proper shape.
Dip a rag in a strong solution of tannic acid and water,
and place between the nail and inflamed parts of the toe.
This treatment persevered in, "should bring relief.' (Eat
your heart out. Dr. Scholl.)
Make a salve of common laundry soap, a little cream and
pulverized sugar. Apply morning and night until relieved. (At
least your feet will smell sweet.)
