FLAG DAY.
Following is the Flag day proclama
tion issued from the executive office this
morning:
"Whereas, the congress on June 14
1777, selected the emblem which ha
ever since continued to be the flag of our
country, and it is fitting and proper that
a day be designated and set apart as
"Flag Day,:' in order that suitable ex.
ercises may beheld in the publtc arid
other schools, and generally observed in
commemoration of that event and for
paying patriotic respect to our national
emblem.
Therefore, I, Frank W. Benson, as
governor of the state of Oregon, do re
commend that Tuesday, the 14th day of
June. 1910, be observed, not alone by
the schools of the state, but by all of the
people thereof, and I urge that the flag
of our country be generally displayed on
that day on all public and other build
ings and places of business.
Let us be mindful on Flag Day of the
sacrifice and devotion which have been
given to make this country free and
united and let us resolve that in tin
days of peace, our loyalty to its welfare
may be none the less earnest.
In witness whereof, I have here unto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the rtate to be affixed at Salem, the
state capita, this 20th day of May, in
the ear of our Lord, 1910.
FRANK W. BENSON,
Governor.
