In January, 1777, the American people, elated by General Wash ington’s recent victories at Tren ton and Princeton, were seeking an emblem for the new nation. 3 he Congress on June 14 follow ing adopted a resolution provid ing for a flag of 13 alternate red and white stripes with 13 white stars on a blue field. And then the inspiring story of Betsy Ross who made the first Star-Spangled Banner in her little upholstery shop in Arch Street, Philadelphia. Today the modern Betsy Ross still sews in Philadelphia—any or.e of hundreds of women skilled m ncedlecraft. She plies her art in the Philadelphia Quartermas ter Depot where all the flags used by the United States Army are made.

In the last war our signal corps strung enough wire to stretch around the world several times! extensions such as have already brought low-cost electricity to nearly every farm in this area. Nor can we make extensive in stallations to serve stores or industries without approval of the Office of Produc tion Management. • The Navy, too, uses copper—over 200,000 pounds- in a single battleship. And the manufacture of ammunition, for both our A rm y and Navy, takes more than 25% of the output of American copper mines. . It will be a real, though temporary, incon venience for this growing area not to have Pacific Power & Light's cheap electricity so easily available for flew farm and subur ban homes. However, until the Japs and Nazis, have been thoroughly defeated and our homes and families made safe from aggression, we are sure every American wants the Army and Navy to have all the copper they need. The gigantic demand? of modern war have created a copperlshortage.
