Co.. said he still had plenty Of
the "old flags" on hand. but
there is an act of Congress
passed in 1918 saying that the
present flag may be flown until
the Fourth of July following
admission of the new State"
Design Undetermined
"Of course" declared Bryon
cCandless, another flag
dealer, I'VE can't do anything
until final approval is given to
the new design-and this may
take some time. The man on
the street would probably have
the rows of stars arranged in
seven rows of seven. But. what
if Hawaii were admitted? Then
the hassle would start all over
again"
The President and other
branches of the Government
have received hundreds of let
tiers with suggested changes
for the new flag.
These are channeled into
the Army Quartermaster Corps
which designs the flags of the
armed forces. A spokesman
there said some of the designs
are "real works of art" but
others appear to have been
hastily designed" One young
ster sent in his design done in
crayon with no less than 50
stars on the flag.
To try to estimate how
many flags are used in this
country would be a staggering
task. The District alone requires
5000 flags for its public schools
and $500 more for its other
departments. The Government
needs 10000 flags for its ma
tional cemeteries. 1t also orders
the largest f1ags-10 by 10 feet.
Commission Anticipated
Most Of the flag manufac-
lures feel that the President
will set up a commission to
consider the new design. Pres

tive order. President Taft ap-

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Sam Must Adjust
To Dads Death

Summer is quiet as a tomb for
Sam this year. Only a few weeks
ago, he was a happy 9-year-old,
growing up in a normal home.
Then his father was killed in
an automobile accident. Pressed
for funds, his mother immedi-
ately began a job hunt, leaving
Sam at home alone all day.
Although this was necessary,
she looked at the same time for
a better solution for her son.
She inquired at a neighborhood
house for camping opportuni-
ties. where Sam might have
friends and safety all day long
Turing this readjustment period.
Sans family could save no
money from his fathers modest
salary. and every penny counts
these days in his home until his
mothers wages start coming in.
His mother couldn't possibly
afford normal camp fees for
him.
Yet camp is the thing that
can help him most, while the
loss of his father is still a fresh
hurt, and he doesn't even have
the consolation of his mothers
presence at home.
Your gift to the Evening Star
Summer Camp Fund can give
Sam the vacation his mother
so desperately wants him to
have, where grief and loneliness
can be put aside for a time.
The following contributions
are acknowledged today:

The
Rambler
,...... Again
Misses Exodus
BY GEORGE KENNEDY
Happy Fourth Of JulyI

For generations it seems
this newspaperman has been
writing about the holiday
exodus.
on the eve Of the Glorious
Fourth an amazing number
of persons leave town.
He has contributed to the
estimates, but he has never
been one of the thousands
departing.
Somehow or other, news
paper work, like manning
the power houses that pro-
vide electric light, has q way
of skipping holidays.
And Exodus, the title Of
the Old Testament book
wherein Moses leads the
Chosen People out OF Egypt
into the Promised Land,
seems to occur to every re-
write man as the apt term
for the departure Of city
dwellers by train, plane, bus
and automobile for ocean,
lakes or mountains.
Yesterday The Star esti-
mated the departures at
250,000. That's one out Of
six persons in the area.
This is written for the five
out of six men who didn't go
away. Otherwise how would
you read it?
Come to think Of 1t, The
Star goes to great effort to
make the paper available
along the Atlantic Coast
from Nags Head, N. c., to
Atlantic City, N. J.
This is also written for you
fortunate people who have
purchased The Star on the
boardwalks.
Happy Fourth of July!

THE RAMBLER SLEPT


until 9 this morning.
He had q breakfast Of
wheat cakes-not from pam
cake mix-but a wonderful
combination of white flour,
baking powder, shortening
and eggs. He'd be glad to
send you the recipe. And in
addition to pure Vermont
maple syrup, he had hickory
smoked Virginia bacon. And
strong coffee!
Happy Fourth Of July!
This afternoon he is going
to watch the Senators play
a double header with the
Yankees in Griffith Stadium.
You don't have to leave
town to have fun.
He is going to see some
good baseball. If the Sena-
tors take the Yankees
twice-and they did it earlier
this Season-that will be
wonderful baseball. And if
the Yankees win, it will be
in part due to that amazing
defensive play in which
something that sounds like,
and looks like, a hit is turned
into a double play.
And this evening he will
go to the Watergate, sit on
the steps below the Lincoln
Memorial, listen to the Ma
rine Band and then watch
the fireworks set off from
Roosevelt Island.
A lot of fun, but when all
is said and done, community
