patriotism, seems like an entirely I'M
necessary movement, yet it is exactly
what the officers Of the North Dakota
National Guard association are launch
ing, and present indications are that
it will become nationwide.
The movement was started several
months ago, but was not given the
necessary publicity. Nevertheless, the
movement has spread far and wide
and National Guard associations IN
practically every state in the Union
have signified their intention to take
the matter up and push it along. Ad-
jutant General T. H. Tharalson and
other officers of the Guard associa-
ton, say the movement has already
grown beyond the bounds of their
most %sansuine expectations.
Educational Campaign.
The association is starting an edu-
cational campaign in an effort to
teach, the many uniformed, that
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" and Not
"America," which is nothing more nor
less than the British National anthem
God Save the King" is the National
anthem of the United States.
The complete text Of the resolutions
as adopted by the National Guard as
ISOLATION at its last meeting is as fol
lows:
Whereas, it is common knowledge
that the people Of the State of North
Dakota and CT the United States are
periodically inclined, and that it is
apparent at public gatherings tina:
they are willing to demonstrate their
patriotism in proper manner, but they
are not familiar with the proper man
ner of SO redering lhonors to the Ma
;ional Emblem and to the National
Air.
and, Whereas, the practice Of musi-
cal organizations in their work in
theateys and at public gatherings in
using tie National Air in medley
tends to confuse the public and to
make it impossible for the general
public to render the proper lonrs.
And, Whereas, it is improper and
contrary to the spirit OF The law to
use the National Air in medley.
And, Whereas, a large percentage
OF the general public, in view of the
fact that there are 50 many patriotic
airs. are confused and do not really
know wE;ch is the National Air; ~
And. Whereas, it is the desire of the
North Dakota National Guard Assoc
citation that the general public be in
formed as to the above mentioned
matters and as to the proper manner
Of rendering hcnors.
And. Whereas. thc National Guard
Of the State Of North Dakota does
seriously protest against Of the Ma
tional Air In medley,
Cut Out Medley.
Now, Therefore Be It Resolved,
that we request the Adjutant General
of the State Of North Dakota to .insi-
tute an educational campaign having
as its object the giving of full infor-
nation as to the national air and the
proper honors to be rendered to the
National Emblem and the National,
Air when and as the same is played,
particularly in moving picture theat-
ers and other public gatherings. And
further that the matter of the playing
of the National Air in medley by mus
ical organizations throughout the
state be given special attention with
tinued. That in the conduct Of said
campaign he use such means as are
available.
