SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ENDOaSING AN INITIATIVE
PaOPOSAL TO STIa NATIONAL CELEBRATION OF THE
FOUaTH OF JULY BY aINGING OF BELLS.

a new wave of patriotic feeling and turn each Fourth of July into a
most inspiring celeb~at~on in our Nation's history, by the ringing of
all church bells, all bells in government buildings, and all carillon
bells in COlleges and universities for a period of four (4) minutes,
and
BE IT FURTHEa RESOLVED that every radio and television station,
across the Nation, broadcast the sOllnd of bells for two minutes,
followed by a reading from the Declaration of Independence, and
BE IT STILL FURTHEa RESOLVED, that the timing be established by
the geographic time zones across the continent, wherein 2100 p.m.,
Eastern Daylight Time; 1100 p.m., Central Daylight Time; 12100 Noon,
Mountain Daylight Time; and 11:00 a.m., Pacif~c Daylight Time, would
be the precise time to initiate the four-minute period of bell
