Yot, reeling as I do, I Have seldom
teen moved a.v 1 wm on Wetiuc-fda,*night
when that remarkable high
tu'liool baud from Kings Mountain,
joae to its feet as a man and broke
l.uo the "Star Spangled Banner."

nince I bad board The Star Xp-iiighu
fanner, and 1 think I can truthfully

much feeling, as It wai by. those
hoys and girls from Kiugx Mountain.'
Suddenly, for no apparent reason.
1 was moved almost to tear* by the
sight of some eighty young Atnerl
cans standing erect in resplendent
uniform*, playing our National Attr

that It was easy to see they meant
every note of It.
It was a marvelous sight and a
marvelous experience.
Kor there an t?w places left oo

freedom and equal opportunity,

I felt somehow as 1 listened to
the Star Spauglcd Banner that we
should play' it and sing It more often.
We should hear tt frequently and

them suffering economic' and even
physical tortue because of greed and
concentration of power and disregard

As 1 have said,1 hace never been
t fanatic In the matter of patriotism.
1 have probably been even a little
lax at times In my own patriotic
duty. But I realise that, we need patriotism
In America now as wa never
needed U before. A quiet, determined
kind of patriotism, however, without
. natch ?.f the grandstand ghow that In
I used In time of national emergency.
?
It waa the day after I had heard
the Kings Mountain band that my
telephone rAng and a young woman
gave me this mesaage:
"I happened to. notice", ahe said
"that during the parade /yesterday
not a single man near, me bothered
to take off his hat when the flag
went by.
"I am net", she went on. voicing
tny own feeling exactly, "a fanatic
on the subject of patriotism. But
I feel that we should try to revive
that respect for the colors we once
fell,"or at least showed, when the
I occasion warranted! It.
"I was a little surprised when I
been to not're that none of the
men were taking off their hats, ai l-ot'?rh
the-colors came by an several
different, occasions. I wish y.ots
would say something about It In the
miner. I believe It Is Worthy of at*,

I agreed, most heartily. It la very
Important that we reraemher ana

spirt for the flag and for our govern J
mental leaders. v
We ahonld be onlck to dctf our
