Romance has trailed Old Glory
since it became our national flag
163 years ago. Since that time it
has symbolized the hopes. aspira-
tions and spirit of a nation de-
voted to the cause of liberty.
Prominent among early Ameri-
can flags, forerunners of the Stars
and Stripes, were pine trees, rat
t'esnakes and other designs. The
Grand Union flag. with a British
jack appearing where forty-eight
s ars are now shown in a blue
field, was the immediate ancestor
of our national flag.
Pine tree flags were displayed
by the cruisers of Washington's
eet which operated in New Eng

the words, "An appeal to Heaven. )"
Rattlesnake designs were fire.

motto Don't tread on me-" also
appeared on the drums of Ameri-
can Marines at that time.
The Grand Union flag was
popular with naval men and it
was sometimes called the First
Navy Ensign" There were scores
of other colonial banners, each of
which found special favor in the
colony where it originated.
Even today there is a certain
mystery about Old Glory. His
tCrians fail to agree as to who de-
signed it, although tradition points
to Betsy Ross, a Quaker City
seamstress as the maker of the
first Stars and Stripes adopted by
the Continental Congress on June
IA, 1777.
With a deep appreciation of the
benefits we enjoy as citizens, each
of us should display the Star
Spangled Banner on Flag Day, and
by so doing honor the birth of our
flag. No flag in the world is more
beautiful No flag spreads its folds
over a more highly favored land
than ours.

Governor Proclaims
Surplus Foods Week

Governor Bob Jones has de-
cared the week of June II to %
as SURPLUS FOODS WEEK"
The idea is to further increase the
consumption of surplus foods
throughout Maricopa, Pinal and
ella Counties. Due to the abund-
ance of crops and the wars cur
tallment of eXports-an increase
in the domestic consumption of
surplus foods is imperative to bet
ter conditions for our farmers.
consumers and general business.
The inauguration of the Federal
Food Stamp Plan in Maricopa.
Pinal and Gila Counties on April
ID was major step in a drive on
underconsumption among t
needy. Under this Plan it is esti-
mated that an annual increased
volume of one-half million dollars
worth of surplus foods will move
through the normal channels of
trade in these three counties to
the direct benefit of farmers, re-
lief participants. and general
business in this area.
The Food Trades Industry of the
Stamp Plan Area, in view of their
participation in the Food Stamp
Plan. have accepted a definite re.
sponsibility to act as statesmen for
the farmers in moving more sur
plus foods. However, the relief
families eligible to participate in
the Plan comprise but approxi-
mately % percent of the popula-
tion of Maricopa, Pinal and Gila
Counties. The primary purpose Of
the Surplus Foods Week" is to in
crease the consumption of these
surplus commodities on the part Of
remaining II percent not reached
by the Food Stamp Plan.
An average increase of 2h cents
a meal per person to % percent of
the County's population means an
annual increase in consumption of
million dollars worth of these
surplus foods under the Food
Stamp Plan. 1t is evident then
what a fertile opportunity for
further increased consumption ex-
lists through an educational pro-
gram directed to the remaining
II percent of the more able-to-buy

13 States Working
On Program to Bring
Back Wild Turkey

New England was veritable wild
life empire three centuries Ego. In
fact, if it had not been for the
game and fish resources, the Pill
grams would have starved to death
before they ever could have es-
tab'ished themselves agriculturally
In gratitude. the Pilgrim Fathers
declared a Thanksgiving day, and
held a great feast. The principal
part of the menu was wild turkey
which were most abundant and
easily secured.
Today there are no wild turkey
in New England In other sections
where they once >abounded, their
numbers are badly depleted.
However. there are strong hopes
for partially restoring this magni-
ficant game bird. Due to funds
made avail able by the Federal Aid
To-Wildlife Act, thirteen states
have embarked on program to
bring back the wild turkey. In a
statewide game survey, Arizona is
studying diseases of these birds as
we'll as stocking them in the
Coronado and Crook National
Forests and in certain areas in the
Catalina. Pinalino Ciricahua and
Bradshaw Mountains.
In the mid-south. Ken-uckey is
undertaking an ambitious program
of rehabilitating wild turkey. A
refuge unit has been acquired in
Harlan county and 1000 acres of
land in the easter part of the state
have been purchased for another
unit CCC hep is being employed
to develop the latter area.
In Mississippi the Kickapoo
Game preserve is being improved
as a refuge and selected federal
forest lands within the state are
being stocked with wild turkey.
Tennessee has acquired $4,000
acres of land in Cheatham County.
A good part of this land is ideal
for wild turkey. Virginia is max
ing rapid progress on it's turkey
program. made possible by funds
from the Federal-Aid-To Wi.dlife
Act. Their plans call for releas-
ing birds on sizable areas in the
Thomas Jefferson National Forest,
anil liberation of surplus birds
raised at the Wildlife Research
Unit at B'ackbury. Disease and
timber management are also being
studied in connection with wild
turkey. Other states which have
wild turkey programs are: Alaba-
ma, Maryland. Missouri, North
Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.

To the voting citizens of Ari-
zona:
About now on election year
candidates are expected to make
through the press formal declara-
ton Cf their candidacy. According
Y. | announce my candidacy for
reelection to the House of Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the
State of Arizona. Although it has
been suggested that | run for one
or another high office, | feel | can
best serve the State in my present
position. During four years in
Congress | have established con-
facts and reached committee posi-
tions which will enable even better
service next term than this. l
have no hesitancy in asking re-
election on my record.
Arizona has only one Congress
man in the House of Representa-
tives of four hundred thirty-five
members. Therefore it devolves
upon that one member to repre-
sent the interests of a half million
people over a vast area with very
diverse and frequently conflicting
interests. This is a different job.
Since seniority and length of serv-
ice count for so much in Wash
ington. and since so much OF
legislating is done in committees,
my four years previous service
constitute a valuable backlog of ex-
perience. | am on important COM
mittees of the House now and fair
ly wei up toward the top on those
three committees most closely con-
nected with the internal affairs
of the State of Arizona. When a.
change is made in Congressman, IL
takes time for the new member to
get "broken in" If he gets on de-
sira BILE committees at all, he is
naturally put on at the foot of the
list.

pressure group and not owing
allegiance especially to any por
ton of our citizenery more than to
another, | have devoted my legis
