May he, whose actions merit our most cordial approbation, receive the highest encomiums of the present age; and his name be transmitted through the innumerable ages of future time, to the remotest posterity. But while we look back with joy on the happy day, the birth of our empire, let us remember that it will continue to flourish no longer, than while its laws and original principles are religiously attended to, and strictly observed. Let us consider that Agriculture is the foundation of every trade, and without which our independence would soon vanish into air. Let us cultivate habits of industry and frugality. Let us never employ the riches of our soil, in purchasing foreign luxurious and superfluities. Let us encourage Manufacturers commerce, and every art, which has a tendency to increase the wealth and

In vain they attempt to crush the empire of freedom, and to check the progress of liberty, when reason and virtue oppose the plan. This day enkindled the first flame of liberty, and nineteen revolving years have added to its splendor. This day was laid the foundation of a constitution, which secures to these states, the eight privileges \and blessings/ of a free and virtuous people; and which will ever be admired for the political wisdom in its construction.

Deprived of Freedom in their native land, they fled from it to the uncultured regions of this new world: choosing rather to undergo the hardships and fatigues of the wilderness, than to submit to slavery, though disguised in its most alluring forms. Here they cultivated the barren soil, and defended their hard—earned possessions from tyranny and oppression. Favored by the blessings of peace and freedom, their wealth increased; and in a short space of time, they raised themselves to a degree of eminence, equal to many of the European nations. But the British parliament viewed the increasing opulence of the American colonies, with jealousy and envy. Instead of rejoicing at their prosperity, they endeavored to oppress

Title: Community-based long-term care: Current programs and future prospects
Date: 1984
Summary: The growth of the elderly population, combined with rising expenditures for institutional long-term care services, has generated interest in strengthening community-based services for the sick and disabled and in altering the way in which these services are organized and financed. Studies have shown that community-based health and social services can be effective in reducing institutionalization and improving longevity and patient satisfaction. However, the overall costs associated with community-based long-term care remain unknown, as does the number of persons potentially in need of such services. In some cases, costs for such care may exceed amounts spent for the equivalent level of institutional care.
