Show Friday; lime 13, 1947 DAILY HERALD Legion Vice Comnodsr Main Spacer As El!cs Salute Flag at Annual Rites In stirring and eloquent ad-dress ad-dress which was the highlight of the annual Elks Flag Day services, A. Sherman Christenson, Provo i attorney and state vice-commander American Legion, told a good tsized audience that the words . "liberty and justice for all" on the end of our pledge of allegiance to the flag should be widened to include in-clude not only Americans but all mankind. "In our minds at least," said Mr. Christenson, "we should add Flag Day Set For June 14 On June 14, Old Glory will be honored throughout our nation and much of the world in annual commemoration of Flag day. This day will be one of paying tribute to our flag, never trailed in defeat, de-feat, ever lifted high In victory against every enemy it ever faced. It is a beautiful flag, and inspiring. inspir-ing. Our flag has had an interesting, if relatively brief, history. The first banner ever to fly over our land was carried by John Cabot when he discovered our continent con-tinent in 1497. His flag was a square of white bunting, bearing a red cross on which was emblazoned emblaz-oned the gold crown of England. This flag was carried on the Mayflower May-flower and at Jamestown. It was first of 11 tha't we have had. Flag No. 2 was the famous Pine Tree of New England. It was followed fol-lowed by Rhode Island's adopting in 1776, a blue square with an anchor and stars and the word "Hope." That same year saw the Rattlesnake flag and the banner of the Grand Union. The latter held 13 stripes with a field of the British Union Jack. Not until almost a year after the declaration was signed did we adopt an official flag, then the Continental Congress approved the Stars and Stripes, with a circle of 13 stars in a field of blue. In 1795, two stars were added. The stars then were placed in rows in a blue field, beginning the flag we know today. Four times since we have had a new flag, the addition of new stars as we created new states making this mandatory. If, as and when Hawaii, Ha-waii, Alaska or Puerto Rico are made states, we shall have new flags.

I those words 'for all mankind', for it is toward America that all the peoples of the world are looking for the ideals of liberty and justice." jus-tice." Mr. - Christenson defined all parts of the pledge of allegiance to the flag and related how much the flag came to mean to men in the service. "No matter what frame of mind a man was in, or how bad the weather was, the retreat and flag raising ceremonies never failed to cheer up the men, because in looking at our colors, they saw not only their flag, but they saw a vision of home." Another feature of the program, which was held at the Elks lodge Thursday evening, was the pre sentation of two $100 scholarship awards to outstanding Utah coun ty students. These .scholarships are to be used in furthering the higher education of the recipient at one of the Utah universities. First recipients of the awards, which will be made annually, were Vervene Joy Sorenson of Lent Le-nt and - Bonnie Christensen of Pleasant Grove, both of whom have compiled outstanding scholastic scho-lastic records in high school. Chaplain E. H. Johnson of the Elks lodge offered the prayer at the. services, and Exalted Ruler William A. Beazer made a few remarks. re-marks.
