Her essay is exceptionally good and was picked out from among 32 entrants, erever BY ESTHER BOYER 1 say It should not be changed. It has grown to the heart of every American, with ite 48 stars in a field of biue and the stripes of red and white. The birth of our flag occurred on June 14, 1777. it was then con- ess passed a resolution that the flag have 13 stripes and 13 stars. ith the addition of another state into the Union another star should be led. Vf it is, as we suppose, that the Southern states have realized their mistake, will it not be a humiliation to be constantly reminded of their disloyalty? Would it not be like rewarding a child for disobedience? Will the old war veteran: er feel the love for the new flag they felt for the old? 1 say they will Then why change it? What good can it possibly do? ESTHER BOVER. “eevee Mabel Scott, Enumclaw, writes: “1 think it unpatriotic and untrue toward the many brave men who 90 gladly gave thelr lives for it.” George Clark, Everett, is for changing It: “Why not change it? Has net the South contributed many of our bravest soldiers, who gladly would give their lives for the flag and yet cherish the idea their fathers did, and that is the design of the ald Con federate flag be blended with Old Glory?" Ruth Purrington, who won last week's prize, says: “it would not be loyal to Washington or his brave men to change It.” BOY WARDENS ON The boys will be inetrueted in woodcraft, as well as getting many jother polaters on general out-ofdoor ife. « OUTING ON LAKE arty arrives back In Seattle | evening 1 The p early in the warden hag taken his young officers on ‘wuch a trip.
