Mr.. Guthrie Tells Significance
Of the Eagle and Other Symbol

when white flag staff or pole is set
up on a village green" says Mr.. Guthrie,
1T will doubtless show at the top on
golden ball the American eagle, also golden.
Tapping his wide wings, as IL just alighted
or about to exult in heavenward flight.
This eagle is the very prime symbol of
our defensive and aspiring Union. 1t is
the bird or angel of our peace. our winged
Victory, our Phoenix, the point of ,on.
tact and the vehicle of grace in our inter
course with heaven. Embroidered on
blue field star strewn. II is the emblem Of
the executive head of the nation"
In his right talon our eagle clutches
the olive branch. with thirteen green leaves
and thirteen berries, the leaves that are
the show of life and the berries that are
the fruit-that symbol itself carrying us
back to the olive twig borne by the dove
Of Noah. This olive branch proclaims our
constant purpose "a positive creative
peace
Now in the left talon of our heraldic
eagle are clutched the thirteen arrows
which signify the threatening thunder
bolts AS Mr.. Guthrie explains It, the
thirteen lightning bolts are ready to be
shot out OF the heaven and to establish
with whatever violence may be needed
against the tiger and ape, stampeding
herds or bowling wolf packs, the peace Of
perfect athletic humanity.
Flag and eagle they are ours they are
historically one" says Mr.. Guthrie. "our
flag flies to the winds. and as we lift our
eyes TO It reverently we can and do swear
