At right: Grand I'ninn, rattlesnake and pine tree flags, prominent among early colonial banners. Romance has trailed Old ClorV since il oceanic our nauonai nag 1;3 years ago. Since that lime it has symbolized the hopes, aspira tions and spirit of a nation devoted to the cause of liberty. Prominent among early Ameri can flags, forerunners ol the Stars and Stripes, were pine trees, rattle siiuUert mid other designs. The Grand Union flag, with a British jack appearing where torly-elgbt stars are now shown lit a blue field, was the immediate ancestor of our national Hag. Pine tree flags were displayed by the cruisers of Washington's fleet which operated in New Kngland waters, and Mich flags bore the words, "An appeal to Heaven.'' Italtlesnake designs were fre riuently used by the southern colo nies, and a flag of this type was carried by the U. S. marines and bluejackets from the Continental navy, who made a binding in the Bahamas in .March, 177U. The. rat tlesnake symbol, with Its motto. "Don't tread on me," also appeared nn the drums of American marines at that time. The Grand 1'niou flag was popu lar with naval men ami it was sometimes nailed the "First Navy Knsign." There were scores of oth er colonial banners, each of which found special favor in the colony where it originated. Kven today there is a certain mystery about Old Glory. Histo rians fail In agree as to who de signed it, although tradition points to Betsy Koss. a Quaker City seamstress, as the maker of the first Stars and Stripes adopted by lh Continental Congress on June 11, 1777. With a deep appreciation of (he benefits we enjoy as citizens, each of us should display the Star Spangled Banner on Flag day, and by so doing honor the birth of our flag.
