LIBERTY IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD
A 200th birthday is .an interesting event Not that many people get to celebrate
one, and yet here we are.9 all 15000 or so people of the Village caught up with mil-
lions of other people in our country celebrating something whose founders weren't quite
certain was going to work. It all seems very natural to us -- this thing called
LIBERTY., but so few in the rest of the world really understand it. Whether you are for
or against open housings forced bussingg abortion, educations womens' lib, black mili-
tants and the myriad number of issues which constantly face the people of this country
-- at least you can voice your opinion to elected representatives who can do something
about it. I feel so sorry for people who watch the nightly news.9 grumble about how
rotten and corrupt our government i s .9 sit back in an easy chair and reach for another
martini. I thank God every day that I work with people who care about people and live
in a community that tries to spend our tax dollars wisely.9 but if it wasn't for each
one of you and your involvement with people through Girl Scouts, Little Leagueq church
groups., hospital volunteers and all the other organizationsg I couldn't even begin to
do my job, The SPIRIT of the American people is what keeps us free. The point of this
message is simply that LIBERTY is not just a concept to put on the shelf and point to
once every hundred years., it is the spirit and ideals of our people. Without those
most important elements we surer# won't have a TRICENTENNIAL.
