Some historians and q
goodly portion Of the military
stress the fact that there is
no historical authority or rec
ord to prove that Betsy Ross
made the first nag Of the
United States. The story
gained popular attention in
1870 when her grandson Will
liam j. Candy made an ad-
dress before the Pennsylvania
Historical Society. Mr.. Candy
was IL years old when his
grandmother. Betsy Ross.
died in his parents home. He
declared he had the story Of

When all the processes of
statehood have been COM
pleted for Alaska-within the
next six months or so-it is
expected that a commission
of men and perhaps some
women will be appointed to
select the design Of the 40
stars on the flag. The Joint
resolution of Congress of
April 4. 1918. provided that
the flag should have Is hori-

fix procedure for adding stars

Betsy Objected
According to her story
Betsy demurred at the use Of
the six pointed star in Wash

not in heraldic tradition. So
she shipped out her first five

to 1t as an ancient symbol Of
sovereignty. She made Is I'VE

measured q square of deep

and never ending unity. She
would boast gently of the
flags she made for ships and

COLUMBUS STATUE AT SALT RIVER

COLUMBUS STATUE AT SALT RIVER
THERE SHOULD BE no problem whatever in re-
ceiving official approval Of the plan to erect a statue of
Christopher Columbus at Salt River, the spot where the
discoverer landed on his second voyage to the New
World. This spot has been pointed out to all, but some
how nothing has been done up to now. The time has
come, and work should proceed without delay.
THE A WAS put in motion by Administrative
Assistant Alva C. McFarlane, when he invited citizens
to Government House at a meeting for the purpose OF
setting up a committee This meeting resulted in a tenn
porary committee with DR.. Z. c, Canegata as chairman,
Mrs. Douglas Armstrong, secretary, and Ira Ross,
treasurer.
IT WILL BE recalled that the idea was first given
expression by DR.. I. C. Canegata in 1850, during the
time he was Administrator for St. Croix. No more fitting
person, therefore, could have, been elected chairman OF
the committe to get things started.
ONE OF H biggest hurdles in this whole project
has already been overcome, thanks to the Columbus Bay
Corporation of St. Croix, which very kindly donated the
land on which a statue would be erected. What remains
now is the raising of funds.
AS O NOW THE committee plans to solicit funds
here and on the mainland and we daresay that a great
manv people would be willing to pitch in. With the
proper planning and publicity the necessary funds
should be raised without much difficulty. Furthermore,
it would be a most appropriate use Of public funds if the
Senate wishes to earmark any for this purpose, round
ing out what was received from public contribution.
This Of course, could be done when and if such becomes
necessary.
WITH A GOOD START, and enthusiastic citizens
already working, the Columbus statue at Salt RIVER
should become a reality in short order:

DEMOCRAT WITH THE GOVERNMENT

THIS PAPER LIKES to discuss governmental ap-
pointments, SO much SO that it rarely misses an oppor-
tunity to do SO, The reason is that appointments often
tell much. 1t does more, it often can reveal the philoso-
ply or approach to government. While these tests are
not necessarily accurate, they do help.
THE APPOINTMENT OF Daniel w. Ambrose says,
or attempts to say, that the local government is trying
it's hand at bipartisanship. Mr.. Ambrose, it will be re-
called, was the last Democratic Government Secretary.
Naturally, he was not retained because under the spoils
system he vacated to make way for a Republican ap-
pointee. Now, he is back in the Government in an i'm
portant post.
Mr.. AMBROSE evidently likes these Islands for he
elected to set up shop here rather than return to his ma
tive West Virginia. Such a person is most likely to re
gard his work here with more than passing fancy, and
therefore more goes into it than the transient worker
would put.
FURTHER, Mr.. AMBROSE knows the place and
the people, and can therefore approach his work differ
emily from either4the newcomer or the passer-by. On the
whole the appointment is a good one, and all should be
satisfied.
BUT THERE IS something else. This appointment
should be accepted with a sigh of relief. Out this way
where politics is played in only half fashion, it is re-
freshing to find that sharp political lines are not fol
lowed all the way down the line, and that the Admins
tration will cross the line to appoint someone whose
qualifications and abilities stand out. This is the case in
this appointment.
NOW, IF THE Governor would only round out his
cabinet, he could start off the New Year in grand
fashion. Optimists that we are, we are still hoping to see
just that.
