The program will be continued at both plants in early September. During the past six years, approximately 60',; of employees have taken advantage of the fringe benefit health service. Last week the U. S. Public Health Service predicted a major outbreak of Asian flu. In making this announcement the surgeon general released a revised statement of high risk groups to be vaccinated. One significant change from last year is that all persons 45 years of age and older are now considered as high risks, where previously it was only those over 65. Immunization should begin, according to the surgeon general, as soon as practicable after September 1st and should be completed by midSeptember. Since a two-week delay in the development of antibodies may be expected, it is important that immunization be carried out before epidemics occur in the immediate area. Ideally it is recommended that unimmuniz ed persons should receive two doses of polyvalent vaccine. Remember. Influenze is not just a "bad cold"?It can be much more serious?and the only recognized treatment is \Jl U \ ITIlllUIl. A question and answer discussion on flu vaccine appears in the Nurses Column on page 6. A Thought For Today Your greatness is measured by your kindness; Your education and intellect by your modesty.

NO C At Lydia FLAG POLE 1 Our national and state flags have been proudly flown daily, except in rainy weather, at the mills for many years from high atop flag poles located near the main entrances. All ol us who love our country and state, past, present, and future, can't help but feel a sense of pride when we see the American Flag and the South Carolina State Flag so displayed. Recently the flag pole at Lydia was relocated. The Shop Men moved the pole from its base near the ' lower gate" to the lawned area near the watchman's house. The pole was moved so that the 11a# could be seen better by everyone. The new addition had blocked the v i e w for many at the old location. ABOUT OUR FLAGS The State Flag was designed by Col. William Moultrie in 1775 shortly after the regular troops of South Carolina took Fort Johnson. The blue of the flag matched the soldiers' uniforms and the Crescent was taken from the silver crescent worn on the front of their caps. Adopted as State Flag in 1777 and on January 28. 1861, as National flag of S. C.: "Blue with a white Palmetto upright in the center, and a white crescent in the upper flagstaff corner of the flag." This became again the State flag when South Carolina entered the Confederacy, and continued upon re-admittance of the United States. The Statutes prescribe that the flag shall be displayed daily, except in rainy weather. upon the State House ' OPENING ly not, but we should rejnty arc depending on . A "BRAKE EULK RATE U. S.

STARS & STRIPES The early flags of our nation showed many variations of the red. white, and blue. K J i A flag was hastily improvised from garments by the defenders at Fort Schuyler at Rome, New York. At Concord. April 19, 1775, the minute men carried a small flag having a silver arm on a red field. At the Battle of Cowpens, January 17, 1781. the 3rd Maryland Regiment is said to have carried a flag of 13 red and white stripes with a blue jack containing 12 stars in a circle around one star. The flag of today, popularly called the Stars and Stripes, originated as the result of a resolution offered by the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress at Philadelphia and adopted June 14. 1777. It read: Resolved, that the flag of the United States be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constella(Continued on page 2) <M> sin iii WflLS
