AMERICAN FLAG
CELEBRATES 142
YEARS IN SERVICE
On June Ia, 1777, Emblem
With Stars and Stripes Was
Flung to Breeze and Has
FIoated Over Many Lands.

WASHINGTON, June IA. (Spl)-one
hundred and forty-two years g To-
day the continental congress passed the
act establishing the flag Of the United
States, Exactly, except for the numoer
Of stars, as It flies today over every
city and village in the land-with lS
horizontal stripes, alternate red n
white, and Is white stars on a blns
field. In celebrating Flag day we will
have an added pride in the beautiful
emblem Of our country's honor wheis
we realize that although a young ma
ton, our flag is among the Oldest OF
the national flags. 1t Is older than the
present British jack the French tri-
color, the flag OF Spain, n
years older than the flags Of Germany
and Italy.

Stands for Nation.


1t has been well said that our ma
tional emblem stands for American
ideals and ideas-it is not the flag of
a reigning family or house, but the
flag OF the whole people. 1t is the
emblem Of liberty and freedom, being
indicative of individual Independence
and yet symbolic OF a united and close
ly bonded people. 1t represents the
constitution and government OF a hun
bred million free people, II stands for
the people themselves, and records the
history OF their nation.
In the National museum at Wash
ington among the many other patriotic
relics and emhlems. are displayed more
than 80 historic American flags. On
the labels the history of each is re"
corded, some came from fields Of bat
tie, a number from famous sea fights,
and others were flown over g~arrisons
or forts by distinguished American Off
