The color is woven right into some flags, printed on others. Mod ern flags are made of cotton or nylon or a blend of nylon and wool. They come in all sizes. Annin Flag Co. of Verona, N. J., for instances, makes everyting from a 2-by-3 inch desk model to a 60-by-90 flag for the arch of the George Washington Bridge. But the type that accounts for most of the increased demand is the 3-by-5 foot cotton flag, made for home display. It is usually sold in a kit containing a flagpole and brackets for mounting. Carson Conder of Charlotte, N. C., president of one of the largest flag distributing com panies in the nation, says he can’t get enough of these kits from the manufacturers to sup ply the demand. “Patriotism is rising to the fore,” he said, “and factories are running 90 days behind. I have to wait four months for an order.” In 1814 a lawyer named Fran cis Scott Key was inspired to write a song that later became the national anthem. In that song he asked a question of all future generations of Ameri cans: “0 say does that star spang led banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?“ Mr. Key, it sure does!

If you have George Renwick, assistant professor of biology at Newberry College may be in terested in studying them. Renwick has received a creat ivity and research grant from the Board of College -Education and Church vocations of Lu theran Church in American to study the distribution and nat ural history of the turtle genus Chrysemys in the Midlands area of South Carolina. “The purpose of the study,” Renwick said, “is to attempt to fill a gap in the natural his tory of South Carolina in re gard to the distribution of rep tiles.” Most studies of reptiles in the state have been centered in the mountainous northwest corner of the state and the coastal lands in the Charleston area. Herpetologists, scientists who study reptiles and amphibians, generally agree that two sub species of the painted turtle can be found in the State—the Chry semys picta and the Chrysemys picta marginata, in the lan guage of the scientists. Renwick hopes to find during his research the general distri bution of painted turtles in the Midlands and if there are exam ples of interbreeding between the two sub-species. His study will require system atic trapping examination and observation of the painted turtle in its natural water areas such as lakes and river systems and in the smaller ponds usually found on private property. Some of the turtles he finds will be marked and released so that he may study them under natural conditions while others will be returned to the class room for closer study and ob servation of the turtles under laboratory conditions. Renwick is building a turtle pen for the controlled observations in the laboratory. The study which will begin this summer will be a contin uing process and will take sev eral years before he will be able to complete it and analyze all of his data. A 1954 graduate of Newberry College, Renwick taught biology at three Alabama and Florida high schools, and did graduate work at the Universities of Ala bama and Florida before join ing the College science faculty in 1967. He received his mast er’s degree in biological scien ces with an emphasis in her petology at Alabama College. If you have your own pond with turtles in it and would be willing to have them observed or trapped, contact Renwick at Newberry College. He will be glad to hear from you.
