Representative Ford Presides Over House When our forefathers set about the work of preparing a Decla- ration of Independence, it was mainly for the purpose of setting up a government In the colonies separate from that of any other country. Most of us take for granted the privileges we enjoy which were bought so dearly by thoic hardy pioneers who faced every privation known to humankind to bring about the free- dom we enjoy today. While July 4, 1776 Is t h e actual date of the signing of this great document, such Revolutionary leaders as Samuel Adams, Edmund Pendleton and Richard Henry Lee were laboring for Independence as early as 1768, and when the final draft of reso- lutions were made to be presented *o the Continental Congress, It was well studied and perfected. An excerpt from the Declaration of Independence as adopted, and one which we especially remember and revere Is, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Down through the years, has come priceless heritage of Lib- erty ... so dearly won . . . so gallantly defended by generations of brave Americans. It now becomes our responsibility to protect and preserve these precious rights. To their perpetuation, let us .ill in the spirit and words of the Founders, "mutually pledge to each other, our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor." Shoppers Enjoy Friday Nights in Village Stores Friday night shopping contin- ues to prove popular with Lower, merchants and their patrons, and each Friday evening finds village stores busy. The "Lucky Shopper" pictures which have been shown each week In the Ledger have been from groups 'snapped' promiscu- ously and the winner was shown the following week. Last week's picture was of Raymond J. Hoag Sr., of Alto Route 2, who is a mason and plasterer by trade, is Commander of the American Legion Post In Alto. Is married and has four children, and has lived In this area all of his life. This is the last of the series or pictures and while only one person each week has been able to win prizes. It has been fun to see the crowds of people In our town, many of whom were 'duck- ing' the camera, and even then often found themselves caught in the flash. Now that the picture contest Is over everyone can shop unin- terrupted and we hope the habit of shopping In Lowell will con- tinue to grow.

Lee T^ich year as the beautiful Lowell Showboat makes its cruise down the river there has been something new added and some major improvements ara In evidence. While the entertain- ment committee is going 'all out' to provide better programs from year to year, the boat committee Is also on the alert for complete safety for the passengers and crew aboard. This year a new material call- eo Styrafoam made by the Dow Chemical Co. in the shape of 40- foot logs, has been Investigated by the committee. These logs will last a lifetime, eliminating the terrific job of pulling out oil drums, checking and replac- ing defective ones, which Is not only labor consuming but also expensive. We are informed that if these logs are Installed they will sup- port the Robert E. Lee up to 10(1000 pounds, approximately 50 r c increase and in replacing the drums it is a permanent job. There is not sufficient time to make this Installation for this year's Showboat but It Is under- stoofl the impruvements will be made soon. Styrafoam Used by Armed Forces Styrafoam has been used quite extensively by the armed forces in i he more recent years. A 1200- foor floating dock which has been In the water over a period of eight years, Is still In perfect con- dition. The First Showboat The first boat was 60 feet long, constructed on empty oil barrels, powered by two outboard motors, and carried 75 passengers. A dec k, pilot house, revolving pad- dle wheel, a smoke stack and a whistle made it appear authentic. In 1937 an SO loot boat was needed to carry 150 passengers, and the design of the original Robert E. Lee was copied. The signal bells and real smoke Issu- ing from the twin smoke stacks, adds to the general illusion. Then, In 1948. $8000.00 was ex- pended In constructing the pres- ent super-Showboat. It floats on 200 oil drums. Is 90 feet long. 24 feet wide, and Is propelled by- four outboard motors. The boat Itself weighs 15 ton, and can carry up to 200 people. Dotes to Remember Important dates to be remem- bered In Lowell are the Show- boat July 27 through August 1; Amateur Night July 18; 4-H Fair August 18-21. Showboat tickets go on sale in Lowell MoiSday, July 6. Chorus rehearsals every Mon- day night. pl4 ' Mrs. Louis M. Douglass Passes Monday Morning Funeral Rites Thursday Bertha E.

State Police Commis- sioner Joseph A. Childs Is assign- ing all available officers to high- way patrol duty and urging mo- torists to assist In preventing ac- cidents by exercising extra care and caution. "Patrol coverage will be Inten- sified between the hours of 3 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Monday." Childs said. "However, the acci- dent record at the close of the week end will depend largely on how well drivers and pedestrians follow every rule of safety. The highest death toll for any Fourth of July weekend In Michi- gan was 38 In 1950. Last year It was only one less. Former president King Doyle, was not present; rumor has it that he and his bride are roam- ing somewhere upon the sea of matrimony In northern Michigan.

The program for the day con- sisted of a n enlightening explan- ation by Frank Freeman of the new state business profits tax that goes Into effect on July 1st. A round table discussion of the tax by various members brought out the fact that this tax is not going to be very popular. In the opinion of some businessmen, there is a strong possibility that its constitutionality may be at- attacked in the legislature. Following the discussion, a re- port was presented describing the Rotary Club annual picnic that was held In Fallasburg Park the previous week. This picnic Is of- ficially known as Foreman Day —and for very good reasons. Ernie Foreman contributes to the luncheon some of his choice squabs that are enthsiastlcally consumed by gourmets of the club. The program chairman for next week's meeting will be George Story and we under- stand that the elaborate pro- gram he has proposed will be of great Interest to all Rotarians.
