The Council decided to have this article published in the Franklin Press in answer to a let ter written by Marian Carr in July. In Miss Carr's letter she asked why so few people saluted the flag during the parade, and' she wondered if the people did not know the salute or if they were timid. As 4-H club members, we hope that the following article will help every American to have greater respect for our flag: The Flag "When you see the Stars and Stripes displayed, son, stand up and take off your hat. Somebody may titter. It is in the blood of some to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You may blas pheme in the street and stagger drunken in public places, and the bystanders will not pay much at tention to you; but if you should get down on your knees tend pray to Almighty God or if you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers marches by with flags to the breeze, some people will think you are showing off. "But don't you mind! When Old Glory comes along, salute, and let them think what they please ! When, you hear the band play 'The Star Spangled Banner' while you are in a restaurant or hotel dining room, get up even if you rise alone; stand there and don't be ashamed of it, either. "For of all the flags since the world began there is none other so full of meaning as the Flag of this country. That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle up ward. It is the full-growin flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom. "Your Flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course we haven't arrived yet at that goal; there are many injustices yet among us, many senseless and cruel customs of the past still clinging to us, but the only hope cA righting the wrongs of men lies in the feeling produced in our bosoms by the sight of that Flag. Other flags mean a glorious past, this Flag a glorious future. It is not so much the Flag of our fathers as it is the Flag of our children, and of all children yet unborn. It is the Flag of to morrow. It is the signed of the 'Good Time Coming:' It is not the flag of your king it is the Flag of yourself and of all your neigh bors. "Don't be ashamed when your throat chokes and the tears come, as you see it flying from the masts of our ships on all the seas or floating from every flagstaff of the Republic You will never have a worthier emotion. Rever ence it as you would reverence the signature of the Diety. "Listen, son! The band is play Vig the National Anthem The Star Spangled Banner'! They have let loose Old Glory yonder. Stand op and others will stand up with jrou." Frank Crane, From Treasure of the Trail" I thank you. Sincerely your. Nina Ray Waldroop, Secretary 4-H Council. Franklin, N. C October 6, 192 COME ON.
