"How It Was Born, How It Changed Fauy ‘Ross in person. In a quaint colonial costume, Betsy Ross, direct descendant of the creator of the nation’s embler, participated in the Washington versary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the national Throughout the nation all dur'mg’ this week, homage is paid to the flag. The story of'the emblem of the American people, for which. from the infant days of the republic until the present time, the nation's citisens -have shed their blood, be- gina with the stormy days of the Revolutionary War. During the first few months of the struggle, various emblems were carried by the soldiers of the first army of the United States. These, Rewever, represented only localities aRd places. At the battle of Con- oord in 1775, a standard was unfurl- o8 which bore, in Latin, the motto *Cenquer or Die.” At Bunker Hill during the same year, it was the pine-tree flag of New England that lent inspiration to the troops in those bloody re- pulsions of the attacks up the steep sides of the hill. On January 2, 1776, George Wash- ington, “father of his country,” ralsed over the American camp at Cambridge, the first, ensign of the united colonies, the Grand Union Flag 61 1776. In comparison with the natjon’s emblem of today, it was a st one. On its blue fleld were bined the crosses of 8t. Andrew and 8t..George, symboliz- ing thinunion of Bcetland and Eng- , & it bore 13 alternate red white stripes. The colors of 6 king on the field of blue demon- strated ‘that the colonies still ac- Ruowledged the sovereignty of Great Britain and the stripes denoted the 13 colonies. Jt was after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1775 that the movement to have a ‘new emblem of union and independence ‘was. started and as a result, on June 146, 1777, the following resolution was adopted in congress: “Resolved, e of the Thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, al- ternate white and red, and that the Union be thirteen stars on a blue fleld.” That was the birth of the Stars and BStripes. * The flag was made with red and white stripes and the 13 stars were placed in & circle on the field of /blue, At 239 Arch street in Philadelphia the first bag of the nation was mad-, ascording to the story handed down. Betay a flag-maker, was its manufacturer and a suggestion by her was adopted and still remains on the flag. that is that the stars be five-pointed. Her home is stiil preserved as a memorial. John Paul Jones was the first to make the flag a symbol of glory. H: was placed in command of the Ranger on the -same day that the flag was adopted, and on Jumy Associated Press Photo observanse of the 152nd anni- banper, Fourth, following, he raised the {standard on his ship. Since that time, a star has been added for cvery state admitted to the Union. This act was passed by |congress in 1518 and the number of stripes was left at 13 to signify the, number of colonies from which the flag grew. | In the years that have passed, the Stars and Stripes have come to be | known to the people of the country as a symbol of national growth, | power and influence and of union |and liberty. What the flag means, is admirably expressed in the fol- lowing lines by Henry Holcomb Bennett: | Hats off!
