West. Chamber of Com- merce, visited the historic Tower of London during his vacation trip to the British Isles. The Am- erican is among more than 130,000 travelers from the United States expected to visit Britain this year. ‘The Key West Citizen, Pearson ‘plans to see Lancashire, where his father came from, and Edin- burgh, capital of Scotland and birthplace of his mother. His sightseeing in London included St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Old Curiosity of), Shop. of . Dickens’ fame. He said that he was most impregsed ‘by the collection of Crown Jewels. which, are kept in the Tower .of London, say, itis not fair to your par- ents.

Bern ane 1777, — that in Philadelphia, phia, adopted a resolu- Aion establishing the official flag | States. That flag was to be of thirteen stripes of alternate red | and blue with a union of thirteen | stars of white in a blue field. i The stars of the flag represent- ; ed the new constellation rising in | the Western Hemisphere. The idea was taken from the great constellation Lyra. which in the mony. The blue field, ground for the stars, Was taken form Phe ~ 40 5 the Govenanters Banner of Scotland signifying the covenant of the United States against oppression: The — stars were arranged in a circle sym- , Union as the ring signifies eterne _ ity. The thirteen stars represented i | the number of the united colonies and denoted their subordination | to the Union as well as the equal- tity among themselves. The red and white stripes were taken from ancient Roman emblems — bdlizing the nerpetnity \of the |) the red signifying defiance. and daring; the white, purity. | Some historians contend that, it was General Washington him- self who decided on the number of the points in the stars. It was first suggested ‘that each star have six points; but Washington disapproved and taking a piece of paper he folded it and cut it such a way thatastar of five points was made and has been used in our flag ever since. During the past 172 years the of 48 States has necessitated a change in the original ordér of the stars. In“ 1795, 2 additional stars and 2 additional stripes were added to the flag to repre- sent Vermont and . Kentucky, whieh had been admitted to the Union, and the War of 1812. was fought under this banner. It was this flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes, flying over Fort McHenry, on September 14, 1814, which inspir- ed Francis Scot Key to write the Star — Spangled Banner, our national anthem. In order to prevent essential altering of the flag design,’ the Congress, in 1818 adopted a-resol- ution providing that after July 4, 1818, the stripes should be thirt- een in number and the blue fielé ‘a new star be add each state thereafter admitted to the Union. That arrangement is still in effect today. ‘ It was only 60 years ago that the anniversary of the adoption of the flag was first observed by a principal of a kindergarten in New York City. Since then*pop- ular observance of this significant anniversary has gathered support thoughout the nation until today it has become one of our most important unofficial holidays. In the words of Woodrow Wilson, “We meet to. celebrate Flag Day because this flag which we honor and under which we serve is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation.” The first locomotive built in America for actual common-car- rier service was “The Best Friend of Charleston”, which made its first trip in 1831. On the first run, the engine fell into a ditch but held the rails on later at- tempts. | | i MIAMI and eee (No Stops tives at Miami a: aight, LEAVES MIAMI SUNDAYS) at o'clock P, M.
