If II Is necessary to raise taxes

By Louis Graves

Years ago the late Isaac

sit on the bench inside the

ersbys and comment on their
looks, and talk about this
and that. In the fall | would
tell him he was missing a
lot of fun by not going to
see the football games.
Every day he must have
been hearing and reading
the praises of his son Grady,
who was on the team four
years and was captain in
1922, but he never went to
see him play.
The opening of the Kenan
stadium in 1927 was a sensa-
tional event in Chapel Hill,
but it had no interest for Mr..
Pritchard. He would never
have seen the inside of the
splendid new structure If
Governor Mclean hadn't

loyal Democrat, ne couldn't

talks was the wide variety
of peoples schedules around

Washington, it was claimed, visited
Betsy Ross at her Philadelphia upholstery
shop in the summer of l776 with sketch
of proposed flag, and asked her to execute
it, He was accompanied by her uncle by
marriage, Col. George Ross, and Benjamin
Franklin, supposedly appointed by Congress
as a flag committee of three.
However, there is no record that Con-
gress appointed a Flag Committee at that
time-it was prior to the proclamation of
the Declaration of Independence Nor do
WashingtonS recordS-and he was metic-
ulous recorder-mention this visit.
Washington's speech, in which he
supposedly said that the flag took the stars
from heaven, the red from our mother
country, separating it by white stripes, thus
showing that we have separated from her,
and the white stripes shall go down to
posterity representing liberty" also falls
into the realm of myth. There is no EVIL
dence that he ever said this. Our Stars and
Stripes probably were inspired by both
English and Dutch banners of the day
the word stripe comes from the Dutch
"stripje"-as we're its colors. Some say,
though, that the red stands for courage, the
white for liberty and the blue for loyalty.
AS far as can be determined, Wash
ington never few the Stars and Stripes

it was used in any Revolutionary battle,

ON JUNE IA, 1777 the Marine Committee
" of the Second Continental Congress,
meeting in Philadelphia, adopted this
resolution:
Resolved, that the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars, white on
a blue field, representing new
constellation"
OF this much, we're sure. Otherwise,
historians find it difficult to separate flag
truth from flag fiction.
Even the flags design is shrouded in
mystery. In 1871 Francis Hopkinson-a
signer Of the Declaration of Independence
who had designed seals for the State De-
partment and the Treasury Board-asked
Congress to reimburse him for having
designed the American flag.
Congress refused, because Hopkinson
was unable to offer satisfactory proof To
this day, the designers identity never has
been determined, exactly.
Historians refute the once-popular
belief that Washingtons coat-of-arms
inspired the design. This idea, 1t seems,
was fiction created by an English play
wright, Martin F. Topper, in play in the
187OS, and has no basis in fact.
Even the Betsy Ross story-familiar to
every school child and immortalized by
famous painting and postage stamp-now
is believed to have no supporting evidence
