by our little city taken as a whole. In

of the same temper of mind and
heart, had striking features-none
more so than the line of quiet middle
aged citizens, not often seen in SNOWY
performances, but proudly bearing
aloft service flag showing one, two
and sometimes three stars. Then there
were the great flags of this character
from the high schools, the churches
