CRANE COMPANY
 WORKERS RAISE
 EMBLEM OF U. s.
Employees of Core Depart ment Demonstrate Pa
 triotic Spirit.

Work was suspended this morning in the core room of the Crane Co. plant in Main street when flag rais- ing was held
 Eighty girls and a score of young men employed in that department con- tributed to the purchase of handsome emblems. Thomas Benn raised the flags. Mrs. Franr LaBate then de- livered the dedication speech which follows:
 On this 18th day of April, 1917. I wish to thank the heads of Crane Co. No. for the privilege they have given men to secure these beautiful flags by collection from my shopmates. and it gives me great pleasure to place tt/ese flags in the care of our foreman, MT. Hugh Toles, and our forelady, Mrs. Elizabeth Mole. The employees of the core room wish to have the flag dis played in their roorf during the war. Perhaps. now, as never before, has such wave of patriotism swept from coast to coast. No matter where we go, we see "Old Glory waving the length and breadth of our land. It's bathed in one grand union of red, white and blue.
 Washington interpreted the mean ing of our flag in these words: Y We take the stars from heaven the red from the mother country, separating it by white stripes thus showing that we have separated from her. The white stripes represent Liberty
 "It gives me great pleasure in be- half of my shopnhates to present these beautiful flags to those who donated so willingly towards them.
 "And trust that it may long wave over the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
 "Now, pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it, stands, one nation indivisable with Liberty and Justice for all.''
 When she completed ~her address, Mrs. LaBate saluted the flag, an ac- ton which was followed by all the others in concert. Patriotic songs, concluded with the Star Spangled Banner" ended the ceremony.
