 SPEAKERS TOPIC

 Halt Last Evening

Choosing as his topic the im- mortalized flag-raising on Mt. Surf bachi in Two Jima last February 23, Edward L. Keithahn qouted Woodrow Wilson's thoughtful state ment that Our flag has no other character than that which we give it." in his Flag Day address made last evening at the Elks Flag Day observance in the Elks Hall.
 ITO the grim orchestration of countless enemy guns, six American fighting men, with no thought of their personal safety, hoisted the flag above the death and destruc- tion of the battlefield" he said.
 "They raised it to fly high as a symbol of invincibility of freedoms forces over the power of tyranny. There they gave it it's winning characteristic God-given capacity of right, championed by freemen, to overcome might; the capacity of liberty to vanquish slavery; and the capacity of justice to prevail over wrong. There they gave new interpretation and substance to Woodrow Wilson's immortal words !"
 Continuing the story of the Suri- bachi flag-raising, and the famous photograph by Joe Rosenberg which has become the emblem of the current Seventh War Loan Drive, MT. Keithahn recounted that three of the participating heroes have since died in action, as well as the U. $. Marine sergeant who took the photograph, and fourth was wounded.
 Their sacrifices" continued the speaker, symbolic of all Americans who bled and died for Old Glory in World War II and all other American wars, completed the character we have given our flag they made it the holy standard of the free who were free because they were brave in freedoms cause
 ... All these noble dead have done their part. Now it's up to us, the living, to give our best"
 Conducted by L. J. Holmquist, Exalted Ruler of Juneau Elks Ledge, the Flag Day observance opened with "The Star-Spangled Banner" and was followed by in- troductory exercises of the Order prayer by the Chaplain; and the history of the American flags de- velopment, given by M. E. Monagle, Past Exalted Ruler. Altar service was conducted by the Esquire and other officers, and the meeting closed with the singing of Amer ica" In charge of the exercises was M. H. Sides, Esteemed Leading Knight. Music was provided by Bill Matheny and his orchestra while two local Boy Scouts assisted in the ceremony.
