A bill s now before be-fore the Congress, making it a federal offense to maliciously destroy, deface or otherwise desecrate or dishonor the American Am-erican Flag, Like many others, I did not know that such a law had not long since been made a part of the federal criminal code. But such, our Congressmen say, is the case. The question naturally arises, "Why hasn't such a law been" written, passed by Congress and signed by the President, long years ago?" Perhaps the most logical answer is, that the law has never been urgently needed, until now. America is 190 years old. The National Emblem has been flying over the heads of our citizens for almost two centuries. cen-turies. During practically all of this time, the desecration of the American Flag by an American Am-erican citizen, was unthinkable. However, times have changed of late, hence the need for such a law, providing severe penalties penal-ties for those who desecrate Old Glory."; . j--..

If we are not "for" law, order and decent behavior behav-ior we are "against" all that has made our country great. It is the sincere hope of this column that Congress will not fail in passing an anti-flag desecration des-ecration bill, with enough teeth in it to dscourage such inhuman, inhum-an, disloyal and unpatriotic activities ac-tivities in the future. It is our hope, too, that whatever what-ever law is passed, it will be held "constitutional" by: the U. S. Supreme Court. It might just so happen, that five of these venerable gentlemen; may rule, that to punish an American citizen cit-izen for burning hi country's flag, would be an infringement on his personal liberty. If prayers to Almighty God were prohibited in America's school's because a crack-pot atheist objected, who knows what our highest court may do in favor of the flag-burners. It will be interesting to see what happens. So long 'til Thursday. 1 My 20 105,000 cubic yards of earthfill. Its capacity is 90 acre feet of which 40 acre feet are for sediment sedi-ment storage.
