CAPITAL $100,000.00 2 to--- - - ' - ~ Auxiliary Medal Won 11 y Mine Ruth Dixon Writing on the subject "My Flag and What it Means to Me", Miss Ruth Dixon, aged fourteen years, a member of thg eighth gr%de of the Charlotte Thompson High School, was the winner of the American i ,eg'.i)fi Auxiliary medal offered for the best com|?osition on that subject, liei paper leads aa follows: ,v "Your Hag and my flag, Aiid oh, how much it holds, Of your love and my love, Secure within its folds'" Kvery flag is an emblem of something Hut we Americans believe that our Hag stands for everything that is pure, noble, and goi>d. When we have learned, fully, what it means and just what it stands for, i am sure that no other flag in the world will be so dear to us. It is not enough to admire it, to think it bright and beautiful. We should ail love and respect it. Most all the High Schools now ha'.e the llag of our beloved country floating out above it to remind us of our "Old Glory." The united States Mug means protection to us. Any citizen of the United States can wrap the flag around him and go into a foreign country and he will be protected from all harm. Others have respected the flag ami it has meant much to them. I am sure it meant much to the people who fought and even died fighting for their flag and country. It meant much to Henry Holcomb Bennett when ho wrote the favorite poem, "Hat's off; the flag is passing by." The Mug is an emblem of freedom, courage, justice and fidelity; a banner whose floating folds inspire its people to heroic dying in time of war and to noble living in time of peace. America felt this at the beginning of the Revolutionary struggle and on Saturday, June 14, 1777, nearly a year after the Declaration of Independence, congress passed the resolution, "That the Mag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be the thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation." Our flag has a great meaning. The red in it means courage; white means purity; and blue means justice. Our country would not be much toduy if it were not for its courage, purity, and justice. It takes courage for the people to fight and die for their country; purity lor them to live peaceably and united together us neighbors and friend-, and justice for them to deal fairly with one another. The first Mag was made by Mr-. Betsy Ross of Philadelphia. In June, 177(1, she was waited upon by General Washington and a committee from congress, who requested her to develop with her needle their plan tor a flag. A rough design wadrawn for her by Washington, and she was engaged to do the work. How she must have enjoyed her tasr, as the beautiful star-spangled banner grew beneath her hands! She was afterward given the position as manufacturer of government Mags, and at her death the occupation was retained b\ her ehildrnrt As Washington and the committee 1 gazed for the first time upon the ,om-| pleted work of Mrs. Ross, how surely j must the red, white and blue have j inspired them to new courage ir: the struggle for liberty! The givat sea captain, John Paul .1 -nes was the first to hoist the I beautiful flag on a naval ship. H? i uas also the first to receive a .-alute ' t.? the flag in a Kuropenn port. The new flag was first unfurled 011 I tlie battle fteld of an important engagement, during the battle of Brandywine. A month later it was* present at the surrender of Burgoyne, and thy following w inter cheered the hearts e?f the suffering patriots during tiie hardships of Valley Forge. As years passed by there wns territory cleared up and new states i founded. The star for each new state i was a?ided on the fourth of July sutj cceding the state's* admission to the ! Union. Now it has forty eight stars j in it and is still more beautiful than : ever before. ' The boys and girls of America ! should ch*n*h the flag as one of their dearest possessions. The Flag Salute should not be to them merely a collection of meaningless words. L am sure it will not be if they once understand what the flag tells by means of 't<* stripes and stars, its 1 red, and white, and blue. A great orator, Charles Sumner of Massachussetts, once said in speaking of the flag: "The very colors ha\e a language. White is for unity, red for valor, blue for justice." Surely, purity bravery, and the love of right are qualities which every American child should eartnestly try to cultivate. "Flag of the sun that shines fur all, Flag of the sea that flows for all, Flag of the school that standi for nil, Flag of the people, one and all. Hail, flag of liberty, all hail! | Hail, gl orious years to cornel" Nothing Is Impossible (From The Pathfinder) Ulysses S. Guyer, a representative from Kansas, recently recalled an in'cident which gives us an interesting glimpse of the early history of aviaI tion. His text was suggested by a j ride over Washington with Col. Lind! hergh. In the full of 1895 Guyer returned home for a vacation from the i University of Kansas where he was [studying law. His father, Rev. Joseph Guyer, had just received a visit from an old friend, Bishop Milton Wright of the United Brethern i Church. These two men, declared Rev. Guyer in a speech in Congress, had been horn in the same year?1828?just a century ago; they hod been boyhood ami manhood friends, and they hud preached in the name church for more than a quarter of a century. "I 1 remember," the speaker said, "how ! my father laughed at Bishop Wright I beca use he said his boys were going | to perfect a hying, machine that would . Hy; how the venerable bishop hud do' scribed that old biplane; how the boys had built a slide on the side of a sand dune; how one of them would lie down on the lower part of the j plane while the other pushed him olf; land that when he readied the bottom Lf the slide he had gained sufficient momentum to keep the air 25, 50, and | sometimes 100 feet. And then, with 'all the audacity and finality of one who has demonstrated a proposition . in geometry, Milton Wright exclaimj i*d 'When Wilbur and Orville ftnd an agent to drive that machine, they'll i fly like birds!" That conversation in central Kansas 32 years ago makes a dramatic story now. "When Wilbur and Orville find an agent to drive that machine, they'll fly like birds!" Ye gods, what foolish things even bishops can say! "That," said Rep. Guyer, " was where my father laughed. The whole world laughed. Flying had been the jest of the ages since Icarus blossomed out in Greek mythology. The highest expression of impossibility was: 'You might just as well try to fly," an expression so deeply rooted that it still persists in our language. "I wonder what uiy father would have thought if, in a moment of prophetic vision, Milton Wright should have told him that, before a third of la century had fallen into the abyss I of the past, a boy five and twenty years of age would in 33 hours wrap about his youthful brow the chaplet of immortal fame by conquering the old Atlantic and cheating its hungry billows, and landing safely in the field of Le Bourget in Paris." Then, addressing the Speaker of the House, Rep. Guyer asked: "What are we going to do next? They tell me, Sir, that they are going to dig down into the dusty archives of dead and I forgotten centuries and reproduce the i voices of those whose tongues have been sealed by the silence of death ' for thousands of years. They tell me that they will reproduce the gold| en voice of him who hurled his thunderbolts at Philip of Macedon. That ; they will reproduce the voice of Hire who walked by the side of the tideles; j sea of Galilee. "Impossible! you say. Of course i is impossible. That was precisel; J what my father told Milton Wrigh in 1895 about the airplane. There is nothing impossible if the intellect of man centers upon it and thinks and dreams about it long enough. I repeat it, there is nothing impossible. If you have any respect for your reputation as a prophet, erase that word 'impossible' from your vocabulary. There is nothing impossible for America as long as she is filled with youth that looks straight into the sun, gazes across the far and radiant stretches of the sky, clear-eyed, cleani lived, lion-hearted, like that unconquerable Viking of the air, like that incomparable eaglet, unafriad."
