unfurl Old Glory and refresh memories on what
it represents to all Americans.

June 18th, 1777 and has since to be observed all
over America 1t first decreed that there should
be star and stripe for each state and the first flag
had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes.
AS more states into the Union, it became
apparent that this would have to change it was in
1918 that Congress enacted that the number Of stripes
be thirteen representing the thirteen original colonies
and that star should be added for each succeeding
state.
The name "Old Glory" was first given our national
flag by Capt. VIM Driver in 1881. The flag first
carried in battle Brandywine The flag first flew
foreign territory at Nassau Bahama Islands in
1778
The Flag Of the United States is the third oldest
Of the national standards Of the world Older than the
Union Jack Of England or the Trcoor Of France
The United States Flag is unique in the deep and
noble significance of its message to the entire world:
a message of national independence, of individual lib
erty, of idealism and of patriotism.
Some day there will be another star which will
symbolic closer unity Of Americans on the North
American continent. When Aaskans can proudly look
at the Stars and Stripes and say, eve belong" it will

American Indian Congress Hopes To Slow Down Federal Termination

OMAHA, R - The National Congress of American Indians opened it's 11th annual convention here Thursday hoping to work out a plan to put the brakes on ter imitation of federal responsibili- ties to the Indians.
 Joseph R. Garry, Couer d'Alene Indian from Idaho who heads the organization, said "the only substitute which the Indians want is giving them more time to get ready for the change"
 Termination policies would take the government out of Indian af- fairs, turning over their assets to corporation set up by the tribes, and giving services of the Bureau of Indians Affairs to appropriate state and federal agencies.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON

The planet Venus will add to the beauty of the coming Christ mas season. It will be brilliant celestial object in the eastern sky several hours before sunrise.
 Venus has been an evening star seen only in the western sky from January 29 to Nov. 15. Now it is almost in line with the sun but in a few days it will pro gress forward ahead of the sun, thus making it morning star.
 Near her western elongation in 1887 and 1888, Venus was so bright that many people thought it was the Star of Bethlehem. !" Venus often outshines all the eel estial bodies except the sun and the moon and near the times of greatest brilliancy it is plainly visible to the eye at midday, when ones attention is directed to it.
 Venus resembles the earth in size, and also in mass and surface gravity. Venus revolves around the sun in 225 days and its diameter is 7,70O miles.

Highly Important Study

It Is gratifying that the Districts Coun-
Gil on Law Enforcement has instructed its
chairman, Commissioner Spencer, to name
a special committee to look into the recent
series Of rulings by the United States Court
Of Appeals with respect to the plea Of
insanity as defense in criminal cases.
There are number OF questions which
undoubtedly will be Of concern to this COM
nittee. One obviously will be the effect
Of the rulings on procedure in the criminal
courts Another probably will involve the
desirability of seeking statutory definition
of insanity as defense. II the committee
finds no reason to seek legislation, It's next
step, presumably, would be to consider what
disqualification procedures would best pro-
tect the public interest in cases In which
a person has been found not guilty Of a
crime by reason Of q mental disease or
mental defect"
This, OF course, Is not conclusive list.
It Is adequate, however, to show that this
study is one which will be Of high i'm
portance to this community.

spanking machine.

made and turned over to the educators
who are charged with teaching Junior
not to pull cats tails, we will soon find
that the proper place of attachment

boys what not to do with their idle
time: rather we should teach them
not to be idle. While old Grandfather
Sprinkle knew the value of spanking,
he must also have known that "the

Travel talk is something else. It de-

There has to be certain bond Of
sympathy between the teller and the
listener. More than this. there must be
the time and the place.
The mass OF new information that
comes to the traveller leaves him
slightly groggy.
He must digest it, himself, before he
can know what to tell. Give him time!
What he has to tell depends, in the

wants to know.

On Observing November II

a day and holiday decreed by our Con-
gress and President. It is a day on
which great many of us think of the
buddies who never came back. 1t is a
day that mothers, fathers, husbands
and wives, people in all walks of life,
will think of their loved ones who gave
their all for their country and our way
of life.
When see. in great many big busi-
ness establishments, the b e autif
bronze plaques they so proudly display
with the names Of those employees who
so willingly gave their lives so those
same businesses might go on, wonder
how much they appreciate it. They do
not have the courtesy and patriotism to
close their businesses and do little
meditating. If these employees had not
gone and made the supreme sacrifice.
would these business establishments
have been able to go ahead the way
they have?
If we firmly believe "For God and
Country" we should at least be willing
to observe this day and think of those
who died to make our country strong.
Every business should be patriotic
enough to forget the extra money"
they could make that day and become
real patriots, not flag wavers," and
use that day to be thankful that we
have men who will give their all for
their country and realize what might
have happened If they had not.

Appeals to Maryland Voters

Two short years, it seems to me.
would be far too short time for the
American people to forget that cele-
brated atmosphere" which spread its
evil pail over the American political
scene during the 20-year reign of "The
Peoples Front" otherwise known as
THE Liberal Progressive Socialist
Democratic Party" 1t is much too brief
an interval for the people to forget
some of the men and women who, under
the friendly cover of that dank and
noxious, image -diStorting atmosphere" :"
rose to positions of great power and
influence within "The Peoples Front"
or "The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Democratic Party" and, what was even
more important, to positions of great
power and influence in the Government
of the United States.
Two short years, furthermore, has
been insufficient time for the American
element of ''The Peoples Front" other
wise known as "The Liberal Progressive
Socialist-Democratic Party" assuming
they have the desire and the gumption
to turn the trick, to purge the Demo-
cratic Party of the Liberal Progressive
Socialist elements which dominated that
party during the era of the "atmos-
phere." and to undo the damage done
to the character and principles Of the
Democratic Party during that era.
The greatest service which the voters
Of Maryland can render the American
element Of 'The Peoples Front" other
wise known as 1.-THE Liberal Progressive
Socialist Democratic Party" would be
to deny that party~access to the reins
of power.
