    There are some of the traditions associated with Independence Day in the United States. July 4 is, of course, the occasion for all-day picnics in most communities. / Having eaten their fill of hot dogs, burgers and potato salad, / everyone eagerly throws themselves into a program of often strange activities / like three-legged races and pie-eating conTests. / The highlight of the day’s celebrations is a local orchestra playing a melody / as 150000 spectators watch fireworks burst over Boston.
