Star Flags Offered Families of GVs -m. ua intone nf a wondering bypasser, star flass for servicemen's families are being offered here nags iur wiv'w Ameriran ee on auxiliary. Mr. Rusher, a lawyer as well as publisher of the magazine, said he felt that he was in the "cousin category" when speaking in Indiana, as his father was born near Terre Haute. Speaking on the "Emerging Conservative Majority," Mr.

Rusher said, "There will be nothing middle-of-the road about my speech. In fact, I am likely to ruin someone's Pinpointing the problems of the United States today, Mr. Rusher used the phrase, "value producing mechanism," throughout his speech. He said that we have lost track of this mechanism of knowing what is right and what is wrong. "We are in the midst of change," Mr.

Rusher said, "a change bigger than we are accustomed to and not all for the better." "It has become popular." Mr. Rusher said, "to condemn, criticize, pick and analyze. It has become fashionable to condemn." The liberal heresy, Mr. Rush er feels, is that there is not enough right about -America to talk about. He said that tne young people of today have been "raised out of sight of the moral horizons of American society," and that they have not been taught that America is a virtu ous society.

"When we wipe out prayers the schools," Mr. Rusher said, "and teach our children that the United States is as full of holes as Swiss cheese, how can we expect them to want to, go and fight in Vietnam? -American society is not perfect, but look at the competition." "I cannot altogether blame the young people," Mr. Rusher continued. "They are so young and are products of what has and hasn't happened in our country, but they too must be held accountable." The New Left couldn't care less about the survival of U.S. society, Mr.

Rusher said. "We must, take this threat seriously." The conservative speaker said he felt there has been a new formulation of leftist policies in which violence against property is "ok" while violence against people is not. "I speak at college campuses all over the United States," Mr. Rusher said," and. I have sdme newly formed opinions about the student advocates of violence.

I in a new project uy A passing neighbor noticed a 1-star flag at the front door window of the Nicholas Demas home, 4004 Sycamore drive in Riverview Acres, and telephoned The Republic to ask why more were not being displayed by other families with sons and loved ones in military service. "I remember them in the second world war," said the caller. "Some families had several stars'on their flags, and we all sorrowed at the appearance of a gold star that meant someone had been killed." Inquiries determined that the star flags were not generally available in the Columbus area, and Mrs. Demas, who has a son in. the Army, at Fort Leonard Wood, said she obtained her flag at Muncie.

Arrangements were made for the Legion auxiliary to offer the flags locally at $2 each through a company which also supplies other' flags and patriotic emblems. Flags may be ordered now through of two auxiliary representatives Mrs. Nada Zeigler between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at her accounting office, 1625 State street, telephone 376-6801; or Mrs.

Hazej Brtckey after 5 p.m. at home on Route 3, telephone 379-9039..
