Yearly Americanism
Contest Launched
By Auxiliary
8th Grade Students
to Write Essays,
Answer Questions
By LUCY E. RODGERS
As one of its major activities, the
American Legion auxiliary of Hepp
ner sponsors an essay contest for
the girls of the eighth grade and a
contest on the Flag Code for the
boys of this grade. This year s com
petition is just starting, with com
nletion set for April 30.
Americans believe in individual
liberty insofar as it can be used
without injuring the rights of the
community. Americans believe in
freedom of speech and of the press.
The true American will not abuse
these rights. Americans believe in
a universal education which discov
ers or reveals the best function for
each individual and helps him to
achieve that end. Americans believe
in the dignity and strength of com
mon nature and in democracy as its
ultimate triumph.
In the popular mind the flag of y
nation is associated with its wars,
due, no doubt, largely to the fact
that flags or banners had their or
igin in man's struggles for suprem
acy. But war achievements are only
part of what the flag of a nation
represents. A nation's flag represents
its peace accomplishments, which
are often greater than those of war.
The ideals, the traditions of a peo
ple, their progress and achievements
are symbolized by their flag. Let us
remember that our Flag represents
the peace achievements of the Amer
ican people, and let us not forget
that "Peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war."
This year the girls may choose
between two titles. 1. Why I Believe
in Democracy. 2. Education for De
mocracy. The essays are to be ap
proximately 500 words in length.
They must be written on one side
only of regulation note-book paper.
Writing must be legible," spelling
correct, words carefully chosen and
sentences well constructed. Pages
must be numbered and the writer's
name should appear in the upper
right corner of each page.
Each week there will appear in the
Heppner Gazette Times a list of ten
questions pertaining to the Flag of
the United States. The boys of the
eighth grade will answer these ques
tions in writing. Some 50 questions
in all will be published. The papers
must be neatly written, words cor
rectly spelled and the meaning and
thought clearly expressed. The ques
tions must be numbered just as they
are in the paper and the boy's name
shoull be written at the top of each
page.
Both boys and girls will be scored
by their teachers on the following
qualities: Scholarship, honor, ser
vice, courage, and leadership. All
together the highest possible score
will be 100 points. Each of the above
mentioned qualities will count 16
2-3 points. The essay and the an
swers to the Flag Code questions
will each count 16 2-3 points.
The girl receiving the highest
score will be given the American
Legion Medal Award and have her
name inscribed on the American
Legion Auxiliary Honor Roll which
hangs in the eighth grade room.
There will be a suitable award for
the girl receiving the next highest
score. There will also be awards for
the boys receiving the two highest
scores.
All papers, both essays and Flag
Code answers must be in the hands
of the Americanism chairman by
April 30th.
