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 is time for us . . . for the mad, rushing Twentieh Century American ... to stop for a moment and think. I^et us arrest our near reverential admiration of material success and return to the spiritual and ethical values. Let us imbue and rekindle in ourselves and our children the so-called oldfashioned way of patriotism, a burning devotion to the principles and ideals upon which our country was founded. Should not every home own and proudly display the colors on holidays and other such occasions? Isn't the flag Patrick Henry, Jefferson. Franklin, Washington. Nathan Hale, Gettysburg and Valley Forge, Paul Revere, Jackson and other great men and women who have given us our heritage. When you look at the flag can’t you see the Alamo, Corrigedor, Pearl Harbor, The Monitor. The Merrintac, Wake' Island, and Korea ? Lest we forget, isn’t the flag Flanders. Field, Bataan. Iwo Jima. Normandy, Babe Ruth and Davy Crockett? The great events of our past and present are wrapped up in our flag? It is a symbol of this blessed nation a giant in industry, education and commerce. Millions of fertile square miles, wheatlands, coal mines, steel plants. 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 to mankind. That is what the flag means to me. Can we wave it too much? I don't think so.

My doctor told me to lake a milk bath and I fiugure I need 54 quarts.” I figure I need 54 quarts.” “No, she replied, "just up to my chin." God is with you in all that you do. —(Gen. 21:22).
