contract between you and some insurance company.
When you buy insurance, be sure that the other party
to the contract is anxious to do a little more than the

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."
