BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WAS A BROADMINDED THINKER * Benjamin Franklin, whoae birthday is observed on tary 17, was “the most acute and broadminded thinker of his day/' in the estimation of the Encyclopaedia Britan- nica. The first edition of the Britan nic*, published in 17e8 when Franklin was 62, devoted many pages to his discoveries in the field of dectricity. And today, 181 years later, Franklin is still praised by the reference work for his creative mind, his practical good sense and his humanitarian- “Other men may have been greater, but very few have been .more human,” the Britannica {points out. “Franklin’s achievements are so great and so numerous that i Q9i 097 99 It is impossible to sum up all of 97Q AAfi 79 them,” Britannica adds. His i s* 997 9a scientific interests ranged from ,“glaas harmonica,” a musical in strument he invented; and “Uni versity of Pennsylvania,” which he helped to establish. “Nobody could approach him without being charmed by his conversation, his humor, wisdom and kindness,” the Britannica re lates. “He had a Way of telling stories that delighted all his friends and was well liked by the ladies because he seemed equally to enjoy listening to them?* . When he died in 1790, at the age of 84, “the whole civilized world was moved by the disap pearance of the old sage who had done so much good during his Coyttned Cans For Refuse Are Needed City officials are anxious to learn all about the cost of cover ed refuse cans before enforcing old state and city laws which re quire businesses and residences to deposit all types of refuse in covered containers. A recent investigation revealed that only a few business firms gnd a small percentage of homes were complying with the regula tions. Violation of the ordinances helps to make refuse collection and disposal the most costly ser vice the city offers, said City Manager Jack Tallent. In addi tion, it creates a health hazard, promotes the multifying of flies, insects and rodents, not to men tion the unpleasant orders ajid e it gives to private lith the current citizens’ de mand to “dean up” Camden, his theory of electricity to specu- loftg life,” Britannica concludes, lations on the nature of earth- uakes, and the Aurora Borealis, common cold and ' quakes, and tne 446 ’ 90 l.
