career Of the man who solved the
problem of providing seal for the
Government OF the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma
ghera. ireland. November 30. 1929. and
came to America with his three elder
brothers In 1741. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor Al
lison, the tutor OF several of the
signers OF the Declaration OF lnde
pendence. He had a great passion
for reading and when yet a young
man he had CLEANED sufficient knowl-
edge to be counted among the "hteri.

Philadelphia, where he became ac-
quainted with and obtained advice
from Benjamin Franklin; he soon be-
came the intimate friend of the
friendship seemed to increase daily.
In 1772 he served as negotiator with
the Iroquois and Delaware Indians.
and his good. conscientious work
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname, "Truthteller."
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was a man Of rare
abilities and had the peculiar reQui-
sites to make and keep friends where
ever he happened to wander. He was
called to the responsible duty of keep
ing minutes of the proceedings of the
first Continental Congress in 1774. and
from that time until he resigned his

he was the secretary of that digni

Is true, made a most diligent secre-
tary, and in that position he had the
rare pleasure OF taking notes Of all
the important congressional actions.
For the first years work he received
no pay. He served as permanent sec
retary during the eventful fifteen
years that followed. His seal was ae
cepted ofilcially on June 20. 1882.

committee assigned to the task.
Though Jefferson continued deeply in

twenty designs were under discussion.
and four subsequent committees la
bored with the seal problem.
Then In 1852 a committee called to
their aid a certain Mr.. William Bar
ton, a patriot, soldier and heraldic ex-
pert, and he designed a seal which
again incorporated the emblems in
token OF the Irish allies of the Re
public. His design was elaborate and
practically became the basis Of our
present seal. In the shield the Stars
and Stripes appear and the eagle and
eye OF Providence. But the special
consideration of the Irish Is found in
the two figures supporting the pro-
posed design. The harp and the f1eur-
de-lys relate to the assistance rem
dered by ireland and France. and are
blazoned on a green banner. How
ever, this committees report Jared no

finally the entire question of evolving
