the origin of a Service Banner and
what it meant to dedicate such a
banner he said that the forty-six
stars on the field of white repre-
sented the number Of Cook county
! boys who have gone to the colors.
He said that they were only few
in number, not enough for a COM
pany, but he knew that no better
boys could be found in the land than
those forty-six boys. He said that
he hoped that the hearts of the peo-
pie of the county would go with the
boys and that the people of the
