Certainly we should take the opportunity to fly the flag on every suitable occasion, but the spectacle of 20 flags hanging from light poles for three or four days white waiting to be taken down, as recently happened, has to be avoided. TIE PROBLEM is that nobody wants the job of putting them up TREMONTON City recently gave the job back to the chamber after noting It took a crew of men at least two hours to hoist each flag and banner up to Its resting place on the light poles along mainstreet not to mention taking them down.

"I was beginning to feel a little uneasy, myself, until the screen flichered on and I realized It was a cartoon around the popcorn so I could render a solid slap to the seat of learning. "That's what Fritz the cat just said," he defended himself. It was a little difficult manuevering the car out of the theatre in the dark but we managed while staying slumped down in the seat so as not to be recognized. "Who ever heard of an cartoon about a muttered cat" Star-Gaz- er as Mrs. Star-Gaz-er prepared to issue one of those comments.
