Minimum wage legislation" and It does not strengthen our stand ing in the world when a "cover ing" lie is national policy. I think the Administration would have been wiser to have told the truth or to have said nothing. It is hard to make everything run smoothly in all facets of our national defense and intelligence gathering systems. There ought to be more emphasis placed on the problem of coordination, America's glaring lack of recent years. Its deficiency puts us at best in a poor psychological con dition. Rapid Pace With little time remaining before the conventions of the Democratic and Republi can parties, it is self-evident that the Social Security iunendments not to mention the numerous ap propriations bills ' rovenng for eign aid, defense and other fed eral activities, require adequate time for debate. As a consequence of this situa tionand with the air charged with politics the wisest per formance would be for the Con gress to put off action until a more calm and deliberate atmos phere, prevails.

North Carolina has abotit 450 members at the present time. The state meeting of the so ciety will be held at Carolina Beach on June 24-25. Zone Stars And Stripes Was Adopted National Flag On June 14, 1777 The "Stars and Stripes" was i in 1916 by President Woodrow adopted as the national flag of Wilson. World Book Encyclo the U. S. on June 14, 1777, by ajpedia points out that it is not resolution of the Second Conti-.an official national holiday.' but the President proclaims a pub- hvenng two college commence-. meetjngs are held over the state ment talks. The first was at Converse College at Spartanburg; the second was at Mitchell Col lege in Statesville. As it was any drastic legislative proposals 1 necessary to be home to vote m ruitrht to be out over until Janu ary. What concerns me about hasty legislative actum is that such proposals as minimum wage changes, Social Security amend ments and the like by their very nature need most careful study. Both the Senate and have already passed education bills. The House adopted the the primary election, these talks fitted my schedule perfectly. As a rule the Senate is taking up legislation and voting on mat ters which make attendance ne cessary at the time of the year when the schools ad colleges are .

World Book Encyclopedia says the founding fathers may have been influenced by the flag of the British East India Company, a group of merchants organized for exploration and trade. Their flag bore seven red and six white stripes.' In 1782 the U. S. Department of State explained the colors this way: Red stands for hardiness and courage, white is a symbol of purity and innocence, - and blue is the color of vigilance, perseverance and justice. According to legend, however, George Washington gave us a more dramatic explanation when he reportedly said: We take the stars and blue union from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating It by white stripes, thus showing we have separated from' her. and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty. The original "Old Glory" was a world traveler, a refugee from the Confederacy, and a souvenir of the Smithsonian Institution. ; A young sea captain named William Driver introduced the nickname in 1831, when he was given command of the brig "Charles Doggett." A group of citizens of Salem, Mass., pre sented him with a U. S. flag and he hailed it as "Old Glory." Driver traveled twice around the world with the flag, accord ing to World Book Encyclopedia. When he retired in 1837, he took the flag with him to Nash ville, Tenn., where the name "Old Glory" spread. During the Civil War the flag was sewed inside a bed quilt to hide it from Confederate troops. When Union soldiers took Nash ville in 1862, Driver brought out the flag and it was raised over the state capitol. In 1922, "Old Glory" retired to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C.

Gaith er and Ben Chambers , con structed a large outlet ditch this spring. This ditch is one mile in length and empties into the Albemarle Sound. Between the cultivated land and . the Albe marle Sound where the ditch goes through a large woods area the spoil from the ditch was piled uniformly to provide a roadway. This roadway will serve several purposes such as: Provides a way for equipment to travel along side of ditch to control growth on ditch by spraying, provides a road in harvesting timber and also helps as a firebreak in case of fire. Warner Madre and McCoy Phthisic recently received, bass fish for stocking their ponds from the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice. The ponds were stocked with bream last fall. : Edwin White is having some ditches constructed this month Even though he will lose a few rows of crops, Mr. White thinks it will pay. because open ditches dug when the soil is dry will hold up much better.
