Wearers of the ASK Me" badge
are having difficulty in finding suit
able answers to the many questions
being propounded to them by cur
ious delegates as to why all the
emblem banners in the streets Of
Rock Island and Moline are hung
with the cross hanging from the
crown, top down. The banners are
not really upside down but without
exception have been placed end
wise on the wires which position
upsets the appearance Of the EN-
blem. It may best be explained by

banners used decorators license
and hung them from the end be-
cause that Is the better way to
hang . banner But unfortunately
the emblem was placed to be hung
sideways.
