He amongst us who shall be judged blameworthy shall repair his wrongdoing. Should discord arise between confederates, then shall our elders foregather and act “mediators. True to their worn, they booted the haughty and tyrannical Habs- burgs out of the Alps. This year, as every year. the Swiss will celebrate August 1 as their day of Independence. There will be bands and bunting, parades, firecrackers and speeches, picnics and street dancing. It will be much like Dominion Day in Canada, or Bastille Day in France, with the addition of a great deal of yodell- ing, alphorn blowing and' flag swinging.- “This our covenant is drawn up for the good of all and shall with God’s help endure forever. On the 660th anniversary of their independence, the Swiss will also cast a weather eye beyond the boundaries of their tiny demoeracy at the gathering clouds of a new threat to their freedom. Many will go to church and pray. All of them, aloud or perhaps only in their hearts, will solemnly repeat the words of the Oath. They are words which every Swisn schoolchild knows by heart: “In the name of God, Amen. We the people of Uri, Schwyz and Un- terwalden, considering the evil times that are upon us, and the better to protect and defend our- selves, swear upon oath to aid and succor one another mutually with our deeds and counsel. with our strong right arms and earthly goods, with all our might and soul, against each and all who do us hurt and wrong. “Delivered in the year of Our Lord 1291 in the beginning of the month of August.” That was in the days when. the legend of William Tell got its start. The details of the story, as roman- ticized centuries later by Frieder‘ ich Schiller, are impossible to pin down historically, since there are no words pointing to the existence of either William Tell or Sheriff Gessler. But early in. 1291 a bailiff named'Conrad Von Tillenburg was assassinated in that area, and the Tell legend is believed to be based on that‘event. “With one voice do we swear and promise not to tolerate in our vall- eys the dominion of foreign over- lords.

Whether the hardy old at- cher actually shot an apple from his son‘s head, reserving a second arrow for the breast of the tyrant, is immaterial. Certainly some such event happened to touch off the re- bellion of the three Swiss cantons against the Habsburgs, and the Tell legend persists to remind present- day Swiss of their forefathers’ fight for freedom. As it has been every August First for the past 53 years, the William Tell drama will be re-en- acted Independence Day this year by the natives of Altdorf, the vill- age at the southern tip of Lake Lu- cerne where Tell reputedly per- formed his feat of archery. A number of incidents such as the slaying of Conrad von Tillen- burg by a man whose name was, in the course of retelling distorted to “William Tell”, combined with the even sterner measures of repress- ion taken by the Habsburgs, led directly to the signing of the con- federate pact of the Rutli meadow. Lighting up the night sky over the Alps, the August First bonfires will refiéct the unquenchable fire of freedom in the hearts of the Swiss people, still burning bright after 660 years. According to tradition, that very night bonfires were lighted on the Alpine heights as a signal to rise and drive out the Austrians. Every year on the evening of August 1 bonfires are lighted throughout Switzerland, in towns and villages, and espeially in the mountains. Stoles are this year's top fashion accessory and are being worn over everything from evening dresses'to bathing suits. If you decide to make your own, your local sewing cent“: has a wide selection of trimmings which you can experiment with. Fancy buttons or rick-rack braid, plus a little imagination can add a highly personal touch to your work.
