Pledge to Flag
 Song Published

Washington, May 1. (UP)-A patriotic song, which already is being sung by school children throughout the United States, has been published by it's composer. Cmdr. John H. Lloyd, USNR, of Lebanon, Pa.
 Titled, I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag" the composition puts the traditional pledge to the nag to music.
 Lloyd is chief of the Publications Section for the Navy's Of1ce ot Research and Inventions located here.
 Irving Berlin expressed interest in the composition when 1t was first written. Since that time, Lloyd has had a great deal of favorable reaction to his song from patriotic, school and music groups.
 The song was first sung publicly before a patriotic gathering in the D.A.R. Continental Hall (located near Constitution HalD upon occa- sion of the 50th anniversary of the pledge to the flag. Alfred R. Mar kin of the Navy Chaplain's Divi- sion sang the song at that time.
 Florence Hale, editor of the Grade Teacher Magazine, in 1924 asked Lloyd's permission to publish the songs chorus. After it was pub lisfed, he received many. more re- quests for the complete song from teachers, music supervisors and others.
 It is coincidental that after the Spanish American War in 1898 Lloyd's father-John H. Lloyd ST., Lebanon a patriotic song titled "Hurrah for the Boys of the Fighting Tenth" His father was living in Pittsburgh at the time. That song was appropriately used to welcome the men who returned home to the Pittsburgh district.

BactaIaureate Sermon
At Baptist Church

The Baccalaureate service of the
Lexington High School honoring the
Senior Glass of 1915 was held Sun
day morning at the First Baptist
Church.
The Rev. L. E. Burnette, pastor
delivered a splendid message at this
time to a capacity house. Except fol
inclement weather larger congre-
cation would have been present.
The Rev. Burnette selected as his
topic the subject: ''The Three-Act
Drama of Life" With eloquent man
ner the young Baptist minister
formerly a chaplain in the u. S.
Army, told the seniors they were
now in the first act of life, the zero
hour, in which they must realize the
folly of being unprepared. He said
we were going into the age of radar
and television, the atomic age, in
which it would be foolhardy to be
unprepared.
In the second act of the three-act
drama of life, the Rev. Burnette
said, the seniors must decide the
vital question of what will you do
with your" He voiced the hope that
each student would choose this day
whom he would serve and not leave
God out of his plan of life. Today
is the day of salvation, he declared,
tomorrow may be too late.
The Rev Brunette closed his sre-
mon with the thought that each OF
us is painting our portrait of to-
morrow on the canvas of today, that
we are the sum total of our exper-
fences and the life we have led. He
admonished his congregation to fol-
low in the right steps, to have the
right experiences, so that when we
come to the end of life we would
have accomplished something in the
world.
His sermon was greatly enjoyed
by everyone present.

service follows:
