PROTESTS RAISING
Letter to the Editor:
On June 14, 1962, better knows
as F lag Day. the Veterans of
World W ar One donated a metal
flag pole to our fa ir city of P o t
Orford. There was a flag ra.-ing
ceremony and a new 50-star flag
donated by the ladies auxiliary
of the same order
The ceremony was conducted
as scheduled and the city offi­
cials accepted this donation by
the veteran ’s organization and
a ll the care and responsibilities
that went with same
Now, some month and a half
or two months have gone by
and someone seems to have
neglected their duties My at­
tention has been celled to the
fact that some days the flag is
raised at from sun-up to noon—
and some days it is not raised
at all.
Now I am not quite sure who
is responsible for this duty of
raising and lowering of the flag,
but I have been told that is the
duty of the police officer in
charge.
If so I would like to ask my
good friend, Police Commis­
sioner A. Windmaiser to instruct
the one in his department to
carry out this job as it should
be.
Thanking you in advance.
