BEFORE the birth of the Stars and Stripes,
a star-spanged banner waved over the New
World. Cortez, conqueror of Mexico, had a
flag with IL stars arranged in a circle more
than 200 years before.
STARS AND STRIPES first Jae.o in the pres
ence Of enemy, according to legend, at
Fort Stan.ciz (no,c Rome, N. ". The defend
ers had no aae; but they made one in short
order from, ,cF,ite shirts, red:aonnel petit
coats and a captains blue cloak.
STRIPES of the American flag l7h
months older than the oldest stars. The
Grand Union Flag, which was the Conti-
mental emblem from January 2, 1875, until
June IA, l777, consisted of l3 stripes, alter
natey red and white. The stars we're intro
duced into the flag when the Continental
Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes

EVERY War the United States has ~aeed,
with the exception of the present one, has

Community War Chest Drive
Fully Organized

The Negro Division of the Community War Chest
Campaign got under way with an enjoyable and en-
thusiastic Kickoff Banquet at Phyllis Wheatley
son, pastor, Allison Presbyterian Church, chairman
of the Drive was presented by the Rev. F. T. Guy,
pastor Of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, chairman of the
Drive, 1912 campaign.
1t is the conviction of the committee that the
quota of $3.50 for the Negro Division would be e-
ceeded.
Workers will report regularly at the Phyllis
Wheatley Branch YWCA. Due to the fact that funds
for soldiers and for war sufferers are included in the
Drive, it is absolutely necessary that each contributor
give approximately twice as much as last year. This
necessity cannot be too strongly emphasized. The
Negro Division must come through in good shape. To
make a poor showing at this time will be a sad reflec-
ton on our community interest and our ability to ap-
preciate our moral obligation to respond generally to
the immediate needs Of Greater Little Rock to those
suffering sickness, hunger, and physical disaster IN
war ravaged countries of our allies throughout the
world.
