DAVID G. HARRISON POST
No. IA, AMERICAN LEGION
ANIERICANISM PROGRAM

1t has been through the kindness
and courtesy of the owners of the
Smyrna Times that the David G.
Harrison Post, No. IA, American
Legion, has been granted the priv
ilege to write this column. The
David G. Harrison Post, No. IA has
but one objective in appearing be-
fore the public in this manner,
namely to promote a deeper feel
ing of responsibility, both actual,
and patriotic, as to the individual
loyalty every citizen of the United
States owes to their Country. This
week we have chosen for our sub
ject: "The American Flag" Every
true American should feel that the
American Flag is the most won
derful symbolic emblem in the
world. Many years ago, the mem
bers of the David c. Harrison Post,
No. IA, fought to defend this flag.
These same members are now re-
enlisting in the service of our
Country once more to defend our
flag against all forms of aggression.
Be this aggression from within, or
be this aggression from without,
loyal Americans should cheerfully
dedicate their lives if necessary,
for the safety and mutual welfare
of our nation.
Millions of Europeans are now
living through a period of increas-
ing misery and suffering. Their
once happy, and seemingly pros
porous countries, have been over
run by ruthless, savage horde Of
soldiers. These troops, under the
leadership of a power-crazed in
dividaul, have laid waste to ma
tions by conducting the most un-
believable, devastating type of
warfare ever known to man. Bel
ligerents, and acknowledgements
alike, are dying by the thousands
Old men, women, children, and
even newborn infants are being
forced to face the untold horrors
of modern warfare. Destruction
of all that these people hold dear,
is in PROCESS. What the final out
come will be. no one knows. All

Help the Red Cross

The Red Cross is a univers-
al institution today on the
battlefields of Europe; a cross
of mercy which has given re-
lief to thousands Of people
who were homeless, sick OF
hungry. The Red Cross has
always been among the first
to offer assistance to war
torn Europe, and to relieve
suffering in war-affected
areas. There are many in
this town who have expressed
a desire ito do something, to
help in some way those unfor-
tunate refugees from Bel
gium, Holland, Denmark, Nor
way, Finland, Poland, and,
just recently, France. Yet in
this town, less than 10 per
cent Of the quota set by the
war relief drive, has been of
fered. So much is needed to
alleviate the misery and suf-
fering abroad. If each indi-
vidual would give a little, the
quota would soon be reached.
Smyrna times., 1940-06-13

months later, in February, 1778,
Admiral LaMotte Picquet,a French
Naval Officer, then sailing in
French waters, was the first for
eign representative to honor the
new flag of the United States by
firing the proper gun salute ac-
corded all republics. Today, the
flag of the United States is re-
Ispected and honored throughout
the world. The people of the Unit
ed States are living example of
what a great, liberty-loving nation
can accomplish in period of one
hundred and sixty-three years of
freedom under a democratic form
of government. We of the United
States are called part of the new
world. however, our flag is the old
est National flag in existance with
the one exception: that being, the
flag of Denmark. Even this fact
is now in doubt, since Denmark
has been over-run by the war ma
chine of a foreign country. No
one knows what the future of that
nation may be.
Few Of us have ever stopped to
realize what the full meaning of
the Stars and Stripes actually
stands for. Next week this will
be explained to you. Meanwhile,
let us all be proud of the fact that
we live under the American flag.
Hold old Glory" high above all
other flags of the world. Be true
and loyal to our flag, our State and
our Nation.

WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS
by c. E. Speakman, Jr.

If you think too much about the
holocaust in Europe, it will even
tually drive you mad. Even if you
only think about it a little, it is
apt to make you feel the futility Of
writing about how to stop curculio
from spreading on peach trees
when the hideous disease of Nazi-
ism is spreading disastrously over
France and England. not eating
at the stems of our peaches but
fiendishly clawing at the very roots
Of our civilization.
DR.. f. w. Greve, research hor-
ticulturist at the Delaware Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says
there will probably be big peach
crop this year. A 'blitzkrieg" Of
curcuIio could ruin your crop. But
you can stop the spread Of cur
culio. (Dr. Greve recommends
cleaning up drops and burying
them at least feet deep, burning
or keeping them in water for a
time. Any of these measures, ne
says, will kill the curculio grubs).
You can help stop Hitler, too.
And he must be stopped. Already
the Nazi grub gnaws at our first
line of defense in France. Musso-
lini, the Scavenger, is finally on
the march. If England is taken,
our second line of defense. the At
lantic Ocean, will fall into Hitler's
hands. You can do something to-
day. you can send a telegram or
write a letter to the President, to
your Senator or Representative
recommending immediate aid to
the Allies.
Above all, don't adopt defeat
ist attitude. Don't say TITS too
late, we can't do anything now" +"
That's exactly what our enemies
want us to feel. The instillation of
that attitude into our people has
been and is now more than ever a
work of the Nazi-Communist fifth
column in this country.
Let's be awake to this danger
Smyrna times., 1940-06-13

and the Germans that it is
the last battle in a war which
counts.
AS the conflict now enters
its decisive stage, all the
friends of justice everywhere
will pray for another miracle
"a miracle that will save
France from the iron heel Of
a brutal barbarian and, in
saving France, preserve the
free institutions which are
the foundation of Christian
civilization. - Journal-Every
Evening.
Smyrna times., 1940-06-13

we can venture to predict is that
the effects of this war will be felt
by all nations of the world for
many years after the present con-
flict has ceased.
This week, on the lips of many
solid American citizens, a silent
prayer is being offered. Those who
pray are particularly thankful
and proud of the knowledge that
they, as individuals, are a part of
this great nation the United
States of America. And as Amer
leans, this week also holds added
Significance to those who proudly
claim our citizenship. This is Flag
Week, the week when we COM
memorate the first use of our Ma
tional flag.
The first American flag was
made by Mrs. Betsy Ross, at her
residence No. 239 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, Pa, in the year 1777.
Tradition states that John Adams,
later to become the second Presi-
dent of the United States, planned
the first American flag. John
Adams plans of the American flag
were approved, and a resolution for
same adopted by the Continental
Congress as of June 14th, 1777. 1t
was following this that the then
known upholsterer and seemstress,
Mrs. Betsy Ross was commissioned
to make our first flag. Further
stories concerning the original de-
signer Of the American flag, claim
that Captain Paul Jones was the
one who designed it. Still others
state that it was Francis Hopkin-
son. Another version gives the
credit of designing our flag to a
three-man commission consisting
of General George Washington,
Robert Morris and Colonel Ross.
The original American flag con
sisted of thirteen white stars in
the blue field at the upper left
hand corner, which represented
the thirteen colonies, as did also
the thirteen alternating stripes Of
red and white Later, as each new
state was admitted to the Union,
a new white star was added, repre-
senting that particular State.
However, the number of red and
white stripes have always remain
ed unchanged.
It is the firm belief of many per-
sons who have studied our early
history, that the American flag
was first unfurled in battle at the
fighting which occurred at Cooch's
Bridge, Delaware, in the year 1777.
Some however, contend that a
homemade American flag was
raised over Fort Schuyler at Rome,
New York, August 3rd, 1777. In
this instance, tradition tells us
that the flag was made by using
material from the white shirts of
the soldiers of Fort Schuyler, the
red petticoat of a soldiers wife,
and the blue cloak of Captain
Abraham Swarthout.
In November, 1777, the United
States ship Ranger, commanded by
Paul Jones, was the first American
war vessle to fly the Stars and
Stripes at her masthead. Three

and keep our eyes open; for this
propaganda is of the most insid-
ious kind. Once started, it spreads
of its own accord. Read the art
icle, Stop Hitler Now on page z
and then send a letter off to Sen
ator Hughes or Senator Townsend
or Representative Williams or di-
rectly to President Roosevelt, rec
ommending that we defend Amer
ica by rendering immediate aid to
the Allies.
1 have wandered from farm prob
lens to world problems; but what
is happening in the world now is
really a far greater farm problem
than anything like curculio or the
Japanese beetle. The Nazi control
of world markets can have far
more disastrous results to the
American farmer than the worst
descent of locusts.

The Last Quarter Hour

In the face of the steady
advance of the German arm
les in France it takes uncom-
mon faith today to have hope
in the ultimate triumph of
right and decency. Even the
tremendous losses suffered by
the enemy seem not to stem
the force Of the drive toward
Paris or affect adversely the
morale of the invaders.
But the French, be it known
and said to their everlasting
honor, have not lost heart. In
this, what General Weygand
calls the last quarter hour,
they are fighting with a cour-
age and a grim determination
which have won for them the
admiration Of all the world.
That they will continue SO to
fight may be taken for grant
ed. And no matter what the
odds may be it is not in the
French tradition to surrender.
For the Allies the present
week presents the great crisis
of the war. There is one fact,
however, which must give
them the incentive to make an
inspired and supreme effort.
If they can stop the Germans
now, they can stop them per-
manently. BY all reports
every available Nazi soldier
and all available Nazi equip
ment are engaged on the
French front. The full fury
of the Nazi war machine is di-
rected toward Hitler's objec-
tive Of conquering France and
leaving England to defend it
self unaided. If under these
conditions the Germans can
not win, they must change
their whole strategy and con-
cept of war.
So it is indeed the last
quarter hour. But it is a
quarter hour in which much
can happen, a quarter hour
which may yet prove to Hitler
