I
FLUE TO PRESIDENT
POSTPONED TO 1928'
Benny Benson will not make his j
Washington trip to present the first t
official Alaska flag to President Cool- j
idge until early next suummer, it was
announced by Gov. George A. Parks j
in the Juneau Empire. The • un-1
certainty as to the date of the Presi-<
dent’s return to the National eapitol i
together with the fact that Benny is.
now busily engaged in his school work
at the Seward Mission, caused the
postponement of the trip which was
scheduled to be made at this time.
Telegrams received by the Gover
nor from Washington said no definite 1
date has been set for the President’s
i arrival. Original plans called for the {
j (presentation of the flag when the j
Alaska American Legion delegation ■
reached Washington, the delegation
to aact as Benson’s escort. Under
I these circumstances, Superintendent
! Hatten, of the Mission school, who is
j the lad’s guardian, said he preferred
• to lay the matter over until next sum
j mer.
But the flag will take an even long
| er journey for the Alaska American
Legion has been authorized to carry
it with them on their journey to the
Paris convention. The delegation
ihas also been given several hundred
small, souvenir flags made of printed
muslin material to distribute enroute.

ALASKA FLAG IS NOW
ENROUTE TO F
H. J. Thompson of Juneau has left j
on his way to France as head of the
French convention department from j
Alaska, taking with him the recently ;
adopted flag of Alaska. He will meet j
his wife in New York where she has j
been visiting for the last month, and |
she will accompany him to Paris.
Mr. Thompson arranged the book-1
mgs and transportation of the 31 per-1
sons who are going to the convention i
from Alaska and will have official j
charge of the party until it reaches j
Paris.
With the departure of Mr. Thomp-1
son and Mrs. Robert Simpson the
Empire states practically all the five
delegates, two alternates, and others
who are taking this opportunity of
making a trip to France with the
American Legion from Alaska, have
left. Most of the delegates intend to
visit in the States before leaving for
Europe and many of them will stay
one or two months, or more, in
Europe.
