MR. ROBERT H. EVANS U. s. AND U. N. FLAGS IN CAFETERIA You have no doubt noticed the United States and the United Nations flags that have recently been placed in the Cafeteria. Mary Alice Hollifield, representative of the Sigma Phi Alpha Fraternity of Brevard College, presented the U. N. flag to Ecusta last fall. The program of making and presenting U. N. flags was sponsored throughout the U. S. by 4-H Clubs. Locally the program was sponsored by the Hon orary Modern Language Fraternity of Brevard College. The U. N. flag is to be placed at the same height as the U. S. flag, but there has been much discussion and a lot of research to determine which should be on the right and which on the left while facing them. Here is what the World Almanac has to say: "When used on a speaker’s platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and be hind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, if it is displayed in the chancel of a church, or on the speaker’s platform in a public auditorium, the flag should occupy the position of honor and be placed at the clergyman’s or speaker’s right as he faces the con gregation or audience. Any other flag so displayed in the chancel or on the platform should be placed at the clergyman’s or speaker’s left as he faces the Mr. Robert H. Evans, Executive Assistant to the President and the Executive Committee of Olin Industries, Inc., recently made his first visit to Ecusta. Mr. Evans came to Olin Industries from Riegel Paper Corporation on October 1st, 1950. He has his office in the General Electric Building in New York City, headquarters for Olin Indus tries. After graduating from Columbia University in 1930 where he majored in Economics and was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, Mr. Evans made extensive tours of Central and South America. He has written many articles about his travels. Some of his articles on the people and customs of Guatemala were published in the New World Guide. In 1941, he took a six-week study trip to Central America, making several hundred feet of color movies in the various countries. A native of New York, Mr. Evans, his wife and their two children, Robert, Jr., and Janbrin, are living at Larchmont, New York. During World War II, he was stationed in Washington, D. C., with the War Production Board, being in charge of wood pulp allocation. During his visit, Mr. Evans made many friends throughout Ecusta, congregation or audience. But when the flag is displayed from a staff in a church or public audi torium elsewhere than in the chancel or on the platform it shall be placed in the position of honor at the right of the congregation or audience as j they face the chancel or platform. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the congregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform.” When accidents occur there are certain general rules that should be followed. It is important not only to know what to do but also what not to do. For instance— 1. Don’t try to move an injured person un less you know that moving him will not make the injury worse. Improper, careless moving can increase the severity of the in jury and in some cases may cause death. 2. In case of factures, motion of the adja cent joints should be prevented. Special care is required and it is better to leave the victim where he was stricken, treat ing him for shock. 3. There are only two cases when an injured man should be treated before competent help arrives. These are cases in which bleeding is severe and when artificial respiration is required. 15
