EARLY COUNTY NEWS. BLAKELY, GEORGIA
AMERICAN FLAG
IS 154 YEARS OLD
June 14 Marked Anniversary Os
Official Establishment.
July 14, Flag Day, will this year
direct the thoughts of every good
American to the future, as well as
to the past. The patriotic citizen
will be reminded that June 14, 1931,
marks the 154th anniversary of the
day when the Continental Congress
passed the resolution officially estab
lishing, as the emblem of the United
States, a flag “of thirteen stripes
alternate red and white,” and “that
the union be 13 stars white in a
blue field representing a new con
stellation.”
But every patriot will also look
forward to next year, when Flag
Day will take on a still deeper mean
ing as one of the key days in the
ten months’ nation-wide celebration
of the Two Hundredth Anniversary
of the Birth of George Washington.
According to the plans of the United
States, George Washington Bicenten
nial Commission, every American, in
every state and city of the country,
will then be encouraged to honor the
flag with appropriate ceremonies
and with new devotion, linked as it
is with life and labors of George
Washington.
Historians may regard as unsup
ported by fact the story of Betsy
Ross’ stitching the first American
flag, but no one disputes the fact
that the legend has become part and
parcel of American folklore. In any
case it is known that Washington had
an intense personal interest in the
creation of a national flag, and may
have had a part in its design. And
no one disputes the fact that he ac
complished more than any other
American in giving that flag a mean
ing and in unfurling it over a strong
and united nation. In 1932 it will be
the country’s privilege to render new
honors to George Washington’s mem-1
ory, and new loyalty to this immortal !
symbol of his greatness.
Meanwhile, this year, it is well to
recall some of the great dates in the
flag’s history. Its first display by
the Continental Army was on August
3, 1777, at Fort Stanwix, the present
city of Rome, N. Y., during the attack
by EKe British. It was first carried
into battle by George Washington’s
troops at Brandywine on September
11, 1777. It was first saluted by the
British at the surrender of Burgoyne
at Saratoga on October - 17, 1777.
For the Navy, John Paul Jones
took the first salute to the Stars and
Stripes on February 14, 1778, when
he sailed his ship “Ranger” into the
harbor of Quiberon, France. In the
same ship he forced the first strik
ing of colors to our Flag by the
British ship “Drake” on April 24,
1778. The ship “Bedford,” of
Massachusetts carried the first
American flag into a British port on
February 3, 1783. It was first car
ried around the world by the ship
“Columbia,” sailing from Boston in
September, 1787. Captain John
Greene, in the “Empress of China,”
had previously taken it to China in
1784.
It was first flown in battle in the
Pacific by the United State Frigate
“Essex” in 1813. The next year
Francis Scott Key wrote the “Star
Spangled Banner.” In 1818 Congress
decreed that henseforth a new star
should be added on the admission of
each new State to the Union; but
before that, on January 13, 1794, af
ter Vermont and Kentucky had been
admitted to the Union, the stars and
stripes were increased to fifteen.
The 1818 act reduced the stripes to
thirteen and decreed a new star for
each new State, which made a jump
at once to twenty stars.
On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary
planted the first American flag at
the North Pole. Within the last
decade Admiral Bird has carried it
to both Poles.
Wherever it has gone it has meant
achievement and new honors to our
nation. But next year Old Glory
will float over the achievements of
the greatest American of all, the
man who made both the flag and the
nation that flies it—George Wash
ington.

Early County News The Way of Life
By BRUCE BARTON
SETTING THE WORLD
RIGHT
Carle Conway, head of the Conti
nental Can Company, has a customer
in Massachusetts who makes cran
berry sauce.
One day when Wall Street was!
thinking that the world was going (
to the dogs, Carle dropped in on this
Yankee manufacturer and found him
very serene.
They dined togethjer, and after
dinner the talk turned to world busi
ness conditions which, says Carle,
“seem to have eliminated prohibition
from conversation, so that there is
that much to be said in favor of
depression at least.”
The cranberry man said: “During
the war I was making cranberry
sauce and we were not able to get
sugar except at an exhorbitant price.
Every one in the industry said we
had beter go out of business because
we had to have sugar to make cran
berry sauce, and sugar at thirty cents
a pound would stop sales.
“I went into a huddle with myself
that night and came to the conclu
sion that I would let the customers
decide whether they would buy cran
berry sauce made with thirty-cent
sugar; that I had just one job in
the world and that was to run my
business, and I was going to let the
the world take care of itself, and
every one else take care of himself,
and I was going to figure how I
could take care of my business and
solve the problems each day as they
came along.
“I did not think I was big enough
to help or harm the world’s progress,
but I did think I could help or harm
my own business.”
One thing which makes this de
pression seem more discouraging than
others is the fact that all countries
have been so closely knit together.
In other periods of slow business we
in the United States did not worry
because the coffee market was bad
in Brazil or the corn plaster industry
had collapsed in Timbuctoo. We had
our own troubles to fight.
This year our newspapers, through
their truly wonderful news gathering
I forces, have brought us all the bad
tidings from everywhere. The result
is that the average American busi
ness man is going around trying to
carry the troubles of the whole big
world.
I may be all wrong, but my idea
about the other countries is that they
are all having serious difficulties,
just as we are, but in every one of
them there is a solid backbone of peo
ple just like you and me—hard work
ing, sensible men and women who
have their homes and families, who
do not want to see the social order
overthrown and who are doing their
individual best to solve their own
problems.
Ultimately, I believe, this silent
majority will win.
In the meantime, when anybody
comes into my office to discuss
world conditions, I courteously ask
to be excused. lam trying hard to
work out my own salvation.
If everybody in the world does
that the world will be saved.
“And your husband has a pros
perous business, I suppose?”
“Oh, yes, he is taking in a lot of
money. Only last night he told me
a receiver was to be appointed to
assist him.”
