H, Bohlman; flag raising, members of the Coast -Artillery; acceptance of the flag by the school children, repre¬ sented by a boy and girl; singing, "Star Spangled Manner." by the school chil¬ dren; [iledge of alliepance, by the schol¬ ars; medley of patriotic airs, by the hand. The scho<il children were then dismissed to the assembly room, where cake and lemonad.' in abundance was furnished them.
The services at the stand were con¬ tinued, and Congressman Fred Hicks was Introduced. Mr, Hicks made a most exc'lleiii and [latrlotic address, during which h.' was often interrupted with applause. Among other things, he said: "This Nation of the free was built up hy Just such communities as this. The history of the Flag, born 140 years ago today, was being repeated at this very hour. This nation is a nation whose purposes for peace are based nn princl- pleA of [leace with honor. America stands united to iirotect neutral rights. There is no division for the hniior of our flag, and we arr- learning anew the lessons of the [iast, Th< re is a call for lofty devotion to the flag,
"This country is U beacon light to the opiiressed of foreign lands, hut no mat¬ ter where we come from we are all ¦Americans,' It is the duty of all who are ushered liit») this land of the free, whether native or foreign, to be loyal to the flag at all times, I care nol what songs you may sing, nor what in.'inories you may have of the land of your birth, but if you cannot sing the 'Star Spangled Banner' with a jiurpose of loyal devotion and a willingness to he called a citizen of this great land, 'Your Mag and our flag,
.\nd how It floats tooay rier your land and my land And half the world away, 'Ynur flag and my flag
Oh, how much it holds
Your heart and my heart
Secure within its folds,
'Your heart and my luart
Beat quicker at the sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tossed
The red. the blue and white, 'The one flag! The great flag:
The flag for me and you! Glorified, all else beside.
The red, the while and blue.' " Supervisor Hiram R. Smllh was Intro¬ duced as a speaker of national repute, .Mr, Kmlth tried lo sidestep this refer¬ ence to him, but the chairman proved his assertion hy announcing the many places where the supervisor had fliled the bill. His r. marks were of a splen¬ did patriotic nature, and .'mphasi'/.ed in a strong manner a iiatriotic loyally to his country, and he pleaded with the local element for a strong devotion to the flag, and said: "Roosevelt is the moat unique town in Nas.sau county.
