PACE TWO
Bluffton might easily be celebrat
ing Independence Day other than or.
July Fourth were it not for common
consent establishing this day in
stead of the logic of historical facts.
Three Different Days Could Have Been
Independence Day, Historians Point Out
History is replete with many dif
ferent “ifs" and our Independence
Day certainly might have been on
two other dates ‘‘if” it had not been
for certain developments.
July Fourth is considered the
greatest secular holiday in the
United States and its observance has
the statutory sanction of every
state in the Union.
Yet it is probably not generally
known that no less than three dates
might reasonably compete for desig
nation as the natural day of Amer
ican Independence and for the hon
ors of the anniversary of that event.
The resolution of independence was
adopted on July 2, 1776. It was this
day that Mr. Adams designated as
the anniversary the oft-quoted letter
written on his desk at the time, pro
phecying its future celebration by
bells, bonfires, noisy demonstrations,
etc.
On the 4th of July occurred the
Declaration of Independence. On the
2nd of August following took place
the ceremony of signature which has
furnished to the popular imagination
the common pictorial and dramatic
conception of the event.
History reveals that the first reso­
Old-fashioned, noisy celebrations
of the
Fourth of July inaugurated by
cannon fire at daybreak and marked
by a steady staccato of fire crackers
remain only a memory Tuesday as
Bluffton continued its policy of pro
hibiting the sale and discharge of
fireworks.
The celebration now is in direct
contrast to that our fathers knew
when the holiday was a paradise of
bedlam for the youngsters and a day
of uproarious enjoyment for the
elders.
Cannon roared a salute at the
crack of dawn in those days, fire
crackers and small torpedo bombs
popped all day long, and in the
evening it was customary to have a
gigantic fireworks display.
Old Fashioned Wide-Open Fourth
Now Remains Only As Dim Memory
Parades were synonymous with
Fourth of July celebrations in those
days, and the line of march would
wind a tortuous path through packed
streets. In the processions were
gaily decorated pony carts, bands
and vari-colored costumes.
Pink lemonade stands banked the
streets, always surrounded by the
crowd. Spread eagle oratory was
expected and always available, fol
lowing which the big baseball game
of the season
was played.
In those days there were no auto
mobiles, so everybody stayed home,
and since the celebration was one
worth going miles to see, everyone
in the surrounding area came to
Bluffton.
Sometimes the railroad ran an ex
cursion to Cedar Point over the
Fourth. These tours were so uni
versally popular that there were
seldom enough coaches for everyone
and the aisles were jammed with
those who hsd to stand.
On Wednesday and Saturday
nights, preceding the Fourth fire­
lution of July 2nd did not have the
names of the members of Congress
as they finally appeared upon the
document because of much opposi
tion by En: lish sympathisers. Some
day after tl Declaration had passed
and had I een proclaimed at the
head of the army, it was ordered by
Congress t: at it be engrossed on
parchment and signed by every
member.
It was not until the 2nd of August
that these signatures were made and
the matter concluded. It is this copy
or form of the Declaration that has
been preserved as the original the
first signed paper was destroyed as
incomplete.
If the natal day of American in
dependence is to be derived from the
ceremony of the later signatures and
the real date of what has been pre
served as the legal original of the
Declaration, then it would be the
2nd of August.
If derived from the substantial
legal act of separation from the
British crown which was contained
rather in the resolution of congress
than in the Declaration of Independ
ence, it would be the 2nd of July.
But common consent and tradition
have determined to date the great
anniversary from the apparently sub
ordinate event of the passage of the
Declaration, and thus celebrate the
Fourth of July as the birthday of
the nation.
crackers and torpedoes were fired
with such regularity that there was
a constant din of deafening propor
tions.
In some parts of the business sec
tion the youngsters would concen
trate their explosive devices and it
would hardly be safe for pedestrians
to walk down that portion of the
street.
Injuries were frequent nearly
every boy had a close call and in
some cases fingers were lost and
eyesight impaired. Accidents be
came so common that there was
widespread public demand for the
elimination of the explosive devices.
The demand culminated in a state
statute which became effective Aug
ust 1, 1941. The law prohibited the
selling and discharge of firecrackers
and other explosive devices.
The moving finger of time has
wrought a change in the noisesome
sensational type of celebration the
hectic observances of the other era
now live only in the memory of a
few older folks who recall when any
thing went on the Fourth and safe
and sane celebrations would have
been hooted into the background.

Milk Snakes Are Aid
The following article is writ
ten by Charles Trippiehorn, high
school senior, a specialist on rep
tilia.—Editor.
It seems that some otherwise in
telligent people still persist in be
lieving the old “milk snake" myth.
To the reader unfamiliar with this
common “snake story” this writer
relates it as told to him by many
people:
“Noticing a sudden decrease in my
milk production I strongly suspected
the presence of a milk snake around
the farm. The cows were nervous
and touchy as if they
thing was amiss.
“So I watched for it
the pasture where the
grazing." (At this point the speaker
grows very dramatic and mysterious.)
“Suddenly I noticed a large ‘milk’
snake crawl from a hole. He went
straight to the nearest cow, climbed
up her hind leg and proceeded to
take her milk. (No mention was
made as to behavior of the cow while
this was going on.) Naturally I
picked up a club and beat its head
in."

This man was either lying or had
a little bit too much under his belt,
for this alleged act is ridicuously im
possible.
In the first place snakes have no
love at all for milk, in fact it is only
when they are dying of thirst that
they can be induced to drink.
In the second place the largest
milk snake can drink at most only
about three teaspoonfulls of any
