CLUB CHOOSES
 JACK WINSTON
NOtre Dame EnrOIlee to Direct Athletics at Mid-
 dlebury Camp

The second stan selection in as many days was made by the Boys Club Camp Committee last evening when Jack Winston, local athlete who plans to enter Notre Dame next fall, was named to direct ath- letics at the club camp in Middle bury. Jack will be especially ren1em- bered by club members for his value on the polished surface dur ing the winter when in many cru- cial moments of play his towering height enabled him to drop the ball in the hoop for the winning points.
 Jack will confine his efforts to teaching archery, boxing, wrestling, and promoting softball, volleyball, soccer, deck tennis, horseshoes, and general games.
 Workers at the camp today com pleted the new archery range. It is laid out to accommodate senior or midget shooters and will permit competitive shooting. Archery, a new activity for campers at the club, bids fair to be the most popu- lar activity at camp and justly SO. It is wonderful exercise involving fine muscular action plus skill in Judgment and accuracy. It has more than its share of thrills as may be witnessed by the boy who finds the bullseye for the first time.
 Application blanks have been sent out to old camp members and 1t is suggested that these be returned as soon as possible. Camp opens July 5 and parents desiring in- formation regarding the camp should contact the Boys Club im- mediately.

WRITS,

Alexander Barbieri's $lO,= 900 Common Pleas Suit
 Dropped

Two civil actions were apparently settled yesterday as writs were with drawn from common pleas and su- perior court dockets.
 The $2,500 superior court action of Oscar Mattson against the Col onial Sand & Gravel Co. of Water bury was withdrawn. The con- troversy was based on claim of damage to the plaintiffs property on Sands street.
 In common pleas court the $10,- 900 suit of Alexander G. Barbieri against Armida Rolandi and George J. Crocicchia was dropped. The plaintiff sued for injuries allegedly sustained in a fall on a stairway at 213 Plank road, December g, 1888.

For years the American people have accepted without question the beau tiful tradition of Betsy Ross as the originator of their national ensign. The story goes that in June, 1776, Betsy made a Stars and Stripes flag from a pencil sketch supplied by George Washington, but changed the points of the stars from six to five. This legend, however, is not supported by any historical data, and few if any linsentimental historians now subscribe to it.
 The design of the United States fiag-the Stars and Stripes prescribed in resolution passed June IA, TIT, by the Continental congress, as follows:
 Resolved, That the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, rep- resenting a new constellation"
 Many theories have been advanc- ed concerning the genesis of the design of the Stars and Stripes. Whatever the origins, the evidence seems clear that the Stars and Stripes were not in use prior to the congressional resolution of June 14, 1777, in spite of the war paint ings of Trumbull and Leutze which show such flag. The fact that Trumbull left the colonies while Washington was encamped before Boston, and was abroad for seven years, readily explains his mistake in placing it in paintings of events prior to June, 1777. Leutze's picture of Washington crossing the Dela- ware, showing the Stars and Stripes, isebelieved to be merely an exercise of "artistic license"
 First American Flag
 The first Stars and Stripes flags had the 13 alternate red and white stripes, as they exist today, with 13 stars arranged in circle, and this design remained the national en- blem until 1795, when congress passed and President Washington signed a law which reads: "That from and after May 1, 1795, the flag of the United States be 15 stripes, alternate red and white; and that the union be IS stars, white in blue field"
 With the admission of more states, it became evident that the 1795 flag would have to be modified; hence in 1918 law was passed providing: ''That from and after the fourth day of July next, the flag of the United States be 13 horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; that the union have 20 stars, white. in blue field. That on the admiss- sion of every new state into the Union, one star be added to the un- ion of the flag; and that such ad- dition shall take effect on the fourth of July next succeeding such ad- mission" Since 1913 additional stars have been added to make the pres ent 48.
 Stars and States
 There is a widespread popular be- lief that each star on the flag rep resents a particular state. This is entirely without foundation. The 48 stars represent the states collective ly. No law designates how the stars shall be arranged. They first ap- peared as circle; at one time they formed design of larger star:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-14

now they form six rows of eight stars each.
 Washing the Flag
 Many people have a notion that there is some provision of law Or nag etiquette which forbidS washing an American flag. This is untrue. No disreSpect for the national emblem is shown by simply washing or dry cleaning it. In fact, it is the proper thing to do when the flag has be- come soiled.
 Church Flag Above a. fifteen fnoOi? .koa
 It is true that no flag is ever dis played above the U. s. flag. When religious services are being held on board 8 United States man-of-war. the church flag is placed above the American flag. This is the only in- stance when another flag can be displayed over the American flag.
 Flag Continuously Flown
 The national caitol, at Washing ton, is the only building in the United States over which the Amer ican flag is official flown continu- ously.
 According to recognized flag eti- quette, the emblem should generally be displayed only from sunrise to sunset. This rule governs flags flown at army posts and navy sta- tions, ships of war at anchor. and nearly all federal buildings. The authorities, however, sometimes spe- cify different honors.

The occasion was marked by good wishes and congrat- ulations, and despite his more than ninety years MT. Chipman gave evi- dence of greatly enjoying life and anticipating many years to come.
 He is unusually alert, taking keen delight in the happenings of the the day. His eyesight is good and he often reads without the aid of glasses. His memory is such he can tell all details of his boyhood days, many of which were spent in Chesh- ire. He was born in the southern section of Waterbury, but his par- ents moved to Cheshire when he was very young. He attended South Gen. ter school in Cheshire and later went to the Cheshire academy. A great many changes have taken place during his lifetime and 1t is an unusual treat to listen to his tales of long ago.

WHITE VIRGINIA STUDENTS
HONOR FREDERICK
DOUGLASS

Richmond, Va. March 3 (cNA)-
Students of William and Mary
college (white), observed Negro
History Week with a Chapel pro-
gram sponsored by the American
Student Union Chapter with James
+. Jackson, Jr., a leader of the
Southern Negro Youth Congress
as a principal speaker.
Frederick Douglass stands in
relation to Abraham Lincoln, a.
Thomas Paine to George Washing
tCn," Jackson said. "The period OF
u history just prior to the Civil
War, the period in which Douglass
made his greatest contribution, af-
lords a remarkable parallel to our
own time.
"The hesitating, vacillating at
titude of the Northern states, have
their modern counterpart in the
bewildering conduct of the demo-
cratic powers in not yet taking po-
sitive concerted action to stop the
aggression of fascism.
while lecturing in Ireland,
Douglass pointed out that so long
as chattel slavery exists in the
world there will be no security for
free labor in any part of the
world, the spiritual source of the
existing oppressive condition of
she working men of London AMI
Dublin has its roots in the system
Of Negro slavery in the United
States"
I'm our own time: so long as
slavery or fascism exists in The
world, the people of the democra-
tic nations can never have that Sc
eurity necessary for their peace
ful development"
