FLAG DAY
JUNE IL MARKS
10Th ANNIVERSARY

The people of the United States
celebrate on June IA the anniversary
of the adoption of the Star Spangled
Banner as the Flag of their CouAtry.
On June IA, 1877, Congress re-
solved:
THAT the Flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes, alternately
red and white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a NEW CONSTELLA-
TON"
In the 1877 years that have passed
the Flag has waved proudly over a
free nation.
1t has been carried to the far cor
ners of the earth, in war and in peace
by men happy to serve under it, will
ing to die for it.
1t has been the worlds greatest
symbol of the ideal of human free
dom. 1t has beckoned millions of un-
happy people out of oppression to a
land of real opportunity.
1t has conferred upon all worthy
of it the right to the pursuit of hap
piness.
1t has provided haven in which
freedom of worship, freedom of
thought and opinion, were inalien-
able rights.
The Flag itself, of course, has
done none of these things, given none
of these rich benefits to America and
the world.
1t only represents what America
has done as nation, and what
Americans have done as people.
The Flag of tlfe United States is
the thrilling symbol of what America
means to those privileged to BE
Americans.
1t is perhaps the most beautiful
emblem ever raised for the alteration
of any people.
1t is beautiful not alone in it's mag
nificent combination of fabric and
color, of inspiring Stars and Stripes.
It's rarest beauty is in it's spiritual
significance, in the ideals for which
it stands, in the lofty principles to
which it imparts the attributes of
everlasting endurance.

Tire Supply
Warming
Given
Quota For June Will MOI
Meet The Demands
Officials Say

Although the number of new pas
senger car tires available to State
motorists under rationing in June
is As per cent above the May total,
officials of the Maryland OPA have
warned that the supply would not
meet the demand of eligible motor
lists.
With a backlog of 5000 new-tire
certificates yet to be filled because
the May quota was exhausted, Leo
Mccormick, State OPA director, and
]. William Eggleston, State rationlng
officer, have advised ration boards
to screen all APPLICATIONS carefully"
and to release tires to those engaged
in most essential operations first.
'If the ration quotas remain at
present high levels, we may absorb
the backlog in several months" an
OPA official said.
Meantime, we have urged inspec-
ton stations and ration boards to
require recapping of tires wherever
this is practicable. This policy must
not be relaxed.
although more synthetic tires are
being released for private car use,
the recent relaxation of eligibility
requirements for new tires means
that so many motorists are eligible
to secure them that the supply is en-
tirely inadequate"
Under the new rules, all B and c
card holders are eligible for new
tires. Previously, only c card holders
could get certificates for new castings.
In May, Maryland's quota for pas
senger cars was 1920 tires. This
month it is 24,612 The small truck
tire quota was 3,44S in May; it is
4,43S in June But the quota of
large truck tires, the stock of which
is described as critically short, stood
at 1,4O1 in May, and was set at
1,422 for June.
Bradley Dewey, rubber director,
announced 100000 new passenger
and motorcycle tires had been alloca-
ted for civilian use in the nation in
June, an increase of 100000 over
the May quota.
