When Washington assumed command of the Continental Army in 1776, he stood under a flag which had the red and white stripes, but also the crosses of St. George of England and St. Andrew of Scot- land, revealing the colonies' de- pendence on Great Britain. As the war raged, the attitude of Colonists changed, and on June 14. 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the 13 stars in a field of blue.

The original 13 stars were arranged in a circle so that no Slate would claim precedence over another The American Flag as we know it, was first flown in November, 1777, aboard the Ranger with John Paul Jones as commander. His first great victory under the Flag was aboard the Bon Homme Richard, when he captured an English nfrnnvoy and defeated the Scrapis, a 40-gun frigate. When Francia Scott Key wrote the "Star Spangled Banner" during the shelling of Fort Mcllenry, ltd in 1814, there were 15 stars in the Flag Since then, a star has been added for each new state, with Hawaii becoming the 50th George Washington has described the symbolism of the Flag as follows: "We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we separated Four persons drowned, one in Hamiltqn County, in separate water mishaps in Indiana over the weekend.

Johnson and Haskell left Smith on the island about noon, returning to the Sailing Club basin where they purchased cigarettes. Haskell offered to take Dr Van Tassel and Little out in his boat to look for the doctor's son and Little's father. On their return, Johnson decided to remain behind while Haskell returned to the is land for Smith. "He must have opened the throttle suddenly." Sheriff Pass-water said, "for he was less than 50 feet from the yacht landing nc-ard a buoy when the boat submerged underwater a the rear."

Hamilton County officials are still up in arms today over the arrest of a Westfield school bus driver as he transported 4-H boys and girls back and forth to Purdue University last week. Bob Mikcsell was stopped twice on the outskirts of Lafayette with 40 youngsters aboard. Washington township trustee Leon Pollard questioned the double arrest in a demand to know why the Westfield bus driver had been singled out.

Contending that Mikcsell was performing a function under school sponsorship, Pollard and Hamilton County Agriculture Agent Winks, questioned the legality of the arrest. Meanwhile. Girl Scouts were having difficulties over transportation. The order from State Police and the Public Service Commission definitely brought an end to school bus transportation for non-school activities. Cleon Brown, who is heading a delegation of one assistant and 10 Girl Scouts to Europe, was still looking for transudation today.

Mrs. Brown had expected to load her group on Mikesell's bus tomorrow as a beginning of the Troop's adventure Mikcsell declined to make the trip. Pollard and Winks were unsuccessful in learning who had brought charges specifically against Mikesell Both the State Police and the PSC. which supervises public transportation, refused to say. Pollard said that numerous buses had been stopped at Lafayette and then sent on without arrest in an effort by State Police to locate Mikcsell I bus Buses were on the Purdue University campus escorting 4-H youngsters from practically r-ry county in Indiana.

Pollard also made is clear that Mikesell's bus was wholly owned by Washington township He said that the school owns both the chassis and the body He said that as far as he is concerned the 4-H program is a school sup ported program and that his Office was acting in full accord with the law when it permitted Mikcsell to transport the 40 4-H children. The trustee also expressed surprise at Ihc sudden action of the State Police after ignoring enforcement of the law for years, especially without issuing a warning. The Indiana Gas and Water Co. was summoned to make emergency repairs Saturday night when a water at 8th and Clinton Streets burst. FIFTH FREEDOM MEDFORD.
