Trevathan, for Founts Modern Betsy Ross, Artist in Betrg Bom, Hi* The year 1942 marks the 166th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes, today a battleflag proudly carried by American armed force* in every continent on the globe. In January, 1777, the American people, elated by General Washington's recent victories at Trenton and Princeton, were seeking an emblem for the new nation. The Congress on June 14 following adopted a resolution providing for a flag of 13 alternate red and white stripes with 13 white stars on a blue field. And then the inspiring story of Betsy Boss who made the first Star-Spangled Banner in her little upholstery shop in Arch Street, Philadelphia. Today the modern Betsy Boss still sews in Philadelphia—any one of hundreds of women skilled in needlecraft. She plies her art in the Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot where all the flags used by the United States Army are made. Story of Betsy Ross Betsy Ross was born January 1,1752, and died January 30, 1836, but it was not until a third of a century after her death that the legend of her handiwork in' the making of the first flag became generally known. One of her descendants, W. J. Canby, related the incident before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in 1870 and since then she has been exalted as a national heroine. The modern Betsys take keen pride in their work. Many have reached the highest perfection in the art of embroidery, in designing and the blending of colors. Nameless though they are to mil —U. & Sifiua Gocpt room Embroidering QuarfrmeaUr'* Banner lions of people who are thrilled by the sight of glorious banners fashioned from their delicate stitches, they are rewarded by the knowledge that the flag* they hare wrought are today the signals of liberty and freedom afar amid the fogs of Iceland and in the battleamoke at the Philippines. The most stirring sight at the Quartermaster Depot is the making of the flag. After thorough inspection of the cloth to insure that it comes up to rigid specifications, the banting is marked and cut with an electrically driven cutting machine into strips of two lengths for making the flag. One hundred strips are cat in a single operation. The blue field for the stars is cut in the same manner. The material for stars is stamped out with a steel-cutting die on an electric-driven stamping machine. The alternate red and white stripes are Joined together on a double-needle sewing machine. Each bine bunting field Is carefully marked for its stars, and the stars are stitched on with a special machine that produces a zig sag stitch. Other operations complete the making rf the flag of the United States. The manufacture of silk colors and standards is a specialized art at the Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot. The stripes and field are cut by hand but the stars are made of solid embroidered silk on a Swiss hand embroidering ma chine. The bin* field* are placed in frames on a machine provided with many needle* and these torn oat a stitch resembling hand embroidery, both side* alike. Begimeatal Standards Regimental colors and standards, with their coats-of-arms and mottoes, each distinctive onto its own military unit, are embroidered by hand. As many as 80 different shades of silk thread are used in embroidering each flag. This calls for exceptional skill and care to produce the predetermined designs in their exact blending of shades. All designs are passed upon by technical experts in the office of the Quartermaster General. Proudest moment of the Philadelphia flag makers is when they receive an order for the colors carried aa a symbol representing the Commander-in-Chief of tue Army and Navy of the United States—the President This color has a blue background in the center of which is embroidered the seal of the President. There is one white star in each corner .of the flag, representing his grade as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy. This color has < gold and silver fringe on three sides, and also has a cord and ttssel secured immediately below * the flagstaff headpiece, consisting of a gold-hued, spread eagle. The design of this flag was established by Executive Order of President Woodrow Wilson on May 29,1916. T^nmjU)ise ' says...
