KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY The celebration of our Independence Day is no idle holiday in a world where the independence of more than a dozen once sovereign states has vanished from the face of the earth before a rising tide of war. It is to make her own independence secure against that menacing tide that this nation today has plunged, heart and soul, into the task of building a military machine on land sea and air, second to none. Grave as that task is, it is no more difficult than that which faced the thirteen colonies in the days of '76. We pay tribute now to the courage and inflexible will of the statesmen of that time who led a fledgling group of states to challenge one of the world's mightiest powers, and to assert the right of those states to be a free and independent. But less remembered today, and it is well worth remarking, is the fact that the Declaration of Independence was then regarded by a large number of persons as an act of the most wanton and foolhardy recklessness. The people of the colonies were by no means united in its support. Many were totally indifferent to it. Others actively opposed military action of any sort. Indeed, there was some reason for the claim of those who cried, "We can't win!" The colonies had no status whatever in the family of nations. Their finances were in chaotic condition. They were challenging the world's greatest naval power, a nation, moreover, supported by well trained and veteran armies. The American states had barely a handful of ships; its troops were inferior in numbers and training; there were no funds to finance a war. But the fearful and disinheartened skentics lost the day.

Business In West Highest Since 1929 Survey Reveals Bank of America's Index Shows Gains in Building Farm Prices, Employment Bank of America's index of western business rose from 127.8 in April to 128.2 in May, its highest level since 1929, according to the bank's Business Review of May. Industrial activity in the West established new records during the month for factory employment and payrolls says the review. Retail and wholesale trade rejoiced in the best buying wave the Pacific Coast has ever experienced. HOME BUILDING GAINS Builders received more orders for private homes than in any month in recent years. Non-residential building initiated during the month, though somewhat below the unusually high levels of other recent months, was still far above last year.

Herschel Coffin. Dr. Coffin is professor of philosophy and psychology and educational director at Whittier. The purpose of the institute, he told his audience in Founders Hall, is three-fold: first, to get as complete an overview picture as possible of what is happening in the world today; second, to discover what the real threat to our democratic ideal at home is, and what we can do about it, and third, to develop a point of view as to what the long-run policy should be if a democratic world order is ever to be achieved—not merely what might appear at the moment to be expedient in terms of power policies. The first ten evening addresses was delivered last night at First Friends Church on "What of the Year Since the 1940 Institute?" Dr. Earl Cranston, professor in the department of political economy in the University of Redlands, was the speaker. He traced the deterioration of international relations and the disregard for international law. The rise of a new world war he regarded as the best evidence of the necessity of a better federal international order which he believes attainable after the present fury has spent itself.

HIGHER REVENUE SEEN These figures, it is noted, do not include large British aircraft and shipbuilding contracts now held by West Coast companies. "Indications are," declares the bank review, "that this region will share to an even greater extent in defense preparations, if proposals for constructing new steel producing facilities are approved. This area may also share in further aluminum plant expansions." Disputed Bout To Be Re-staged Echoes of the fracas at the Orange County Athletic club last Wednesday night that brought an investigation by the state athletic commission will be heard at the OCAC tonight when El Diablo and Mays McLain return to the mat in a one-fall, 45-minute engagement.

Enlisted Men May Be Army Aviators Enlisted men now may become aviators in the United States army, a post heretofore reserved exclusively for officers.

Graduates of accredited secondary schools who have credits for at least 1½ units of mathematics will be accepted for training without examination. A plan is being considered whereby, on completion of training as a student pilot, the high school graduate would be appointed as a flight sergeant, third class, ranking as a staff sergeant in the ground forces with pay of $108 a month, while on flight duty. After completing a three-year enlistment, he would be appointed flight sergeant, second class, ranking as a technical sergeant, and drawing $126 pay each month. Upon his third three-year enlistment, he would be promoted to flight sergeant, first class, and rank as a master sergeant, with pay of $207.90.

Zeyn St. There are always new frontiers to telephone service. Problems to be solved. Improvements to be made. And there will always be Pioneers pushing on to new achievements. The telephone business recognizes and salutes its veterans, whose Pioneer spirit animates the entire organization. Their leadership, aid and guidance is a daily inspiration to the younger members in the telephone family who will be the Telephone Pioneers of tomorrow. There are on the Pacific Coast about five thousand members of the Association known as the Telephone Pioneers of America. Their "know-how" is deep and broad—gained through years of experience on the day-to-day job. In these times of emergency—of rapidly expanding demands for telephone communication—the Pioneers' dedication of effort to the Ideals and Traditions of the industry is an invaluable asset to the business and the Nation.
