necessary. In this second game
Pade third baseman Jim John¬
son led the winners at bat with
a triple, two singles and one
RBI. Pluto Ellison pitched the
whole game for Davis, giving
up eight hits and‘fanning two.

Even after 178 years, the ringing phrases of the Declara¬
tion of Independence proclaiming liberty throughout the land
continue to thrill us as they did in 1776.
The voice of liberty—whenever we hear it—reminds us
of our rights as citizens of this God-favored land. But it
should do more than that. Liberty’s voice has a strong over¬
tone that we too often do not hear, or ignore, perhaps. We
tend to forget that every right we cherish carries with it a
responsibility—eveiy privilege an obligation.
The right to vote is no longer significant if we do not
exercise it, and do it intelligently. Freedom of the press,
speech and thought count for nothing if we are too lazy to
to use them to develop a well-informed opinion. Freedom of
religion is meaningless unless we go to church.
Just this one Fourth of July, let’s think more on our duties
that our rights.
