The city council of Vincennes, Ind., is considering the adoption of a Hag for Vincennes to be used as the city's official emblem during the coming Indiana In-diana centennial celebration, says tbe Indianapolis News. The suggested design is intended to set forth the British ruleof Vincennes by an old English red "V" in the blue center and the French control by a white fleur-de-lis, which was the national na-tional emblem of France during the time this territory was under the French government. Radiating from the center there are 18 white stripes, indicating that Indiana In-diana was the ISth state admitted to the Union. There also are 4S small white stripes, indicating the number of states now in the Union. |
