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 s nder its sweeping. Its almost fortlble significance.

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*, tentlon.*' V. I agreed, most heartily.
