JUNE FOURTEENTH FLAG DAY

Why do display the national flag every
June fourteenth? What special significance does that
day hold in which we honor national emblem? Be-
that day the 1777 Congress adopted the
Stars and Stripes the national emblem and called the
flag of the United States Before that there had been
many flags used by various colonies and by the states but
never a national flag.
One day there Indian to the President
the Continental Congress- handed him three strings
of wampum asking that flag of the United States might
be given him to take back the chiefs of his people for
their security and protection.
Perhaps it that request that prompted Congress
TO provide flag The first flag made by Mrs. Eliza
beth Ross in Philadelphia in 1777 1t accepted
the official flag June 14th of that year The first flag
differed from the have only in the number
and position of the Betsys flag had thirteen stars
in circle for the thirteen states AS the number of
states the stars added by The flag

the original Fort Henry flag which inspired Francis Scott
Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" From about
that time the day began be celebrated in schools the
interest growing until Flag Day is observed all over
the United States especially in the public schools.
President Wilson, at Flag Day celebration at w ash
ington D. c. on the 4h June 1914 said these strong
words about national emblem.
1--WE should lay it to heart that nation shall ever
hencefoh doubt to put it to the highest uses
to which great emblem of justice and government
be put henceforth to stand for sefpossesson for
dignity for the assertion of the right of nation to
the other nations of the world"
This year our flag flying in China; in Australia in
Africa in Iceland and in lesser countries who have sought
aid in pushing back the oppressor flying in
the service other nations of the world preserve their
freedom, 1t is not much to hope that it will
be flying Europe.

Wildcat Strike Peril

A recent Gallup poll demonstrate
ed that the great majority of union
labor Is opposed TO these Gripping
strikes, In the war industries, which
are doing our cause such incalcu-
liable harm. The public didn't need
a Gallup poll to prove that-but
they soon viii need one il Labor al
lows these Notwithstanding stop
pages to continue.
American workers, union and
non union, American farmers,
American capitalists. American
politicians, American Whites and
American Blacks Eve can't say
American Reds) are each as patri-
otic and country-loving as the 9TH
er. But there are men among each
group whose aims are purely selfish
and to whom America, as whole,
appears to be quite a secondary
consideration. In organized labor
these men are able to accomplish
their purposes as in no other group
for the reason that no other group
Is so organized that its members
can be controlled as a body.
The American public is becoming
aroused at the continued stoppages
In the war industries. The Amer
lean public has sons fighting and
dying at the front. The American
public Is beginning to blame all
union labor for the stoppages which
of necessity raise the death toll
among their boys And this is one
Of the grave injustices which few
union leaders and a few minority
elements are bringing down upon
the huge majority of patriotic, coun-
try-loving, God-fearing men and
women who make up nine-tenths Of
organized labor. This vast major

Pacific also-and they are often
willing to risk their own lives to
break through goonish picket lines
which prevent them from getting
out the tanks and planes and guns
upon which the lives Of their sons
depend.

Do you encourage your children
10 display their first attempts at
drawing? We remember with par
ticular pleasure how mother would
always place our scrawls next TO
fathers tobacco jar. so they'd be
the first thing he would see when
he came home. Father would stand
back and admire them critically.
Occasionally he would point out
how we could improve our draw
ings. For instance, we were fond
of drawing apples, because apples
are roundish but not round, so our
wobbly circles could justifiably be
labeled apples. But we had been
putting a shine IN the same spot
on all Of them, and that was wrong,
father said. To show us what he
meant, he took three apples and
placed them on the table. Then
we both looked at them and saw
that the shiny part of the fruit
wasn't in exactly the same spot on
each apple. So thereafter we nc
longer put the shine on with mathe.
matical precision! Thus we had
learned our first lesson in observ'
ing light and shadow.
Then there's the story a father
wrote us: MY son Dickie is quite
an artist, though / must admit

Dickie showed me his latest mas

TODAY AND TOMORROW

Washington, D. c. (NWNS)-For
the second time within a month,
virtually all coal mines manned
by the miners of the UNIV were
paralized by lack of manpower.
The president had said that ma
tlon-wide coal strike could not be
tolerated. The core of the work
stoppage had been a demand by the
United Mine Workers for a 50 a
day pay increase.
President Roosevelt In a speech
following the first stoppage had
said that coal will be mined no
matter what any individual thinks
about it,"
Paul V. McNutt, head of the
ManpoWer Commission, indicated
that dependency alone will be vir-
tually eliminated by the end Of l943
as a reason for keeping fathers out
OF uniform. He added that a Navy
announcement lowering physical
standards for draftees would prob
ably slow up induction of fathers
slightly.
The tax bill which was finally
agreed upon by the house and SEN
ate providing for 20 per cent pay
as-you-go plan, the forgiveness of
all 1912 taxes which amounted to
less than $50 and the forgiveness
OF rs per cent of higher taxes,
seems to have quieted political
squabbling on this subject. But il
