WINEGAR & LORENCE, Monmouth
In the Name
of the Flag
The following news item was
crowded out last week, but ap
pears to warrant publication at
this time.
"The Flag" served as the sub
ject for a lecture on patriotic
topics by Mrs. Hannan, lecturer
for the W. C. T. U., at the Chris
tian church Sunday afternoon.
It was a lecture that at times
reached the dignity of an ora
tion. Now that temperance is adopt
ed in Oregon, Mrs. Hannon ex
plained, many people naturally
think that the W. C. T. U. might
as well shut up shop in the state,
and their mission accomplished,
might as well disband. But
there are forty-seven other ob
jects of the Union, running all
the way from personal purity to
national patriotism, and as long
as any of them are accomplished
the VV. C. T. U. will exist and
work to achieve them.
The lecturer began her eulogy
to the flag with a reading of
James Whitcomb Riley's, "Who
gave you the name of Old Glory?"
very nicely done, and continuing
gave the old story of the first
flag manufactured by Betty Ross,
explaining that Washington had
ordered the stars to be made six
pointed, as easier to make, but
that Betty Ross said that by giv
ing a sheet of paper a peculiar
fold she could make a five point
ed star with one cut of the
scissors.
Just how Betty Ross folded the
paper was a mystery for a long
time and the students at Annap
olis are alleged to have worked
a whole year trying to make the
fold, but had been unable to do
so. However, the knack had
News of Our Neighborhood
since been re-discovered and
Mrs. Hannon showed the audi
ence how a small square sheet of
paper could be folded that a star
would result from a single
straight cut of the scissors.
She followed the history of the
flag with a history of the nation,
and paid a glowing eulogy to
Lincoln and finally exhorted her
hearers to keep it spotless and to
cherish its honor.
Here the forty-seven objects
of the W. C. T. U. were again
referred to and the lecturer in
sisted that many of them were
wantonly desecrating all that the
flag stood for.
