Fellow Club Members, Ladies anr Gentlemen:
 am before you at the request of a committee of the Polk County Possum Club, which selected me to speak on Good Fellowship" But we are here l feel safe in saying, to rejoice in our freedom. We very properly look upon our flag as the emblem of that freedom given rus by our brave forefathers, those who fought, starved and died that we might be free. It will not be inappropriate. then, to repeat for you "The Story of the Flag, perhaps a new story to some of you, and pleasant revival of memory to others.
 The Star Spangled Banner became the national flag of the United States of America on June fl, f777, when the Conti- mental Congress assembled Tn Philadelphia, adopted it as the nations official emblem.
 The thirteen stars and thir- teen stripes represented the thirteen original colonies. The stars on the first flag were arr ranged i'll a circle-the circle slgnified eternity, and the stars unity. The stars also denote the sub0rdlnatiOn of the states of the union-the broad red stripes represented the union.
 The first national flag was made by Betsy Ross.
 The flag was first recognized Dy a foreign power when John Paul Jones, commander of the Ranger, carried it into foreign waters immediately after its adoption by Congress.
 The flag was first recognized On land when it was raised over TIT.
 Tn 1918 Congress decreed that on the admission of each new state, star should be added to tne flag. and the number of strlpes, then twenty. to be re- oqced to thirteen.
 New arrangement Of the stars on the flag was made in 1912 ana the new flag was officially recognized on July 1, i9i2.
 There are forty eight states represented on the flag.
 n AHe ueSlgn or the American nag IS said to have been sug- gested by George Washington's coat of arms-three stars and three stripes
 II It was not for this flag and the freedom for which it stands we you'd be as in the old Apostolic eays' oa and would not have the right Su SS,iu privilege to gather here and tbnae uase our Possum Club picnic. In snose uays the possum was classed ss sSn unaelean meat. as shown in the 'fn chapter of Acts, verses i to i3, tcnit out had you thot that in one par suo s,vular there is a resemblance be- WSeLn WyWSen Christ aud the 'possum oty h%a the Savior was being dragged sista I so pc crucified, he made no re- a''ce' And when you catch .
