Can We Wave The Flaa Too Much

Is it pusdbl to wave till flag too much ' lio\ m. i. i n that youv.au pwii.i Is it poss ■ o- to wiiuy Ln o ; . i Shakespea re too much. I.- it possible to i •ad lav Bible too much ? Tile great, the goou. the true, are inexhaustr. lv tor inspiration, example and tivngth 1 believe that we ai • not waving our flag enough, not nearly enough. It seems to me that we are developing a tendency to be timid or even apologetic about waving the stat s and stripes. Walk up and down the streets on July 4tll and count the flags. It is our nation's birthday, a -acred day in world History, th.- most important day of America Why isn’t the flag flying on every rooftop and from every home and building: This complacent attitude is strong evidence of cancerous patriotic decay The flag is a symbol of our national unity. It is the -pirit of oui undying devotion to our country. It stands for the Is t that is in us . . . for loyalty, chaiaciei and fnith in democracy. Isn’t our flag a synonym of the United Slates ol America? Does it not represent man greatest, noblest, most sublime dream? Is it not the zenith of achievement, the goal to which generations have aspired? Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it 14 time for us ... for the mad, rushing Twentieth Century American ... to atop for a moment and think Let us arrest our near reverential admiration of material success and return to the spiritual and ethical values.

Our great republic, the chosen infant destined to be man's last and remaining hope for suffering humanity, a shining beacon of light, noble and glorious, the haven for the oppressed and persecuted and truly God's gift U> mankind. That is what the flag meant to me. Can we wave it t<x much? I don't think so. The v-fflort of the Ameri< an Legion Post 189 in Walkerton and their uniform flag display on mam street is one of the most inspiring flag displays anywhere.

THE WEEK’S LETTER: "I am 17 years old and I used to Ko with « nice boy. Some of his friends told him lies about me. He is in the Navy now (the boy I used to go with) and has written to my cousin asking him tn see if I would write to him 1 still like this boy •nd how can I find out if he still likes me’’ And how can I find out it he hehewd those terrible lies?"

I There is no other way to really find out what—or how much—the boy believed of the ‘ lies’’ than to ask him It isn’t necessary to go into details of any kind. You ran simply state that you are aware of the things that were said and if you are to continue as fi lends it

is important that you know just exactly what he believes. Sometimes boys will tell "lies” merely to "tease’’ one of their buddies, without realizing just how much damage and trouble can be caused by one single, seemingly unimportant untruth. These “liars," when the chips are down, admit with embarrassment that they were just "joking." In this writer’s opinion, when • boy goes "steady" with a girl for some time he is rather foolish tn believe everything that others will tell him about this girl. If he it any judge of character at all, he should be able to determine for himself if there is some element of truth in any story that someone has to tell . . . and he should convince any friend who tells a little ’ lie" just for fun that there's nothing funny about the who.e thing.
