FLAG DAY, JUNE 14,
Following the use of flags of various designs by
the several American colonies during the early years of
the Revolution, an act was passed by the Costinental
Congress on June 14, 1777, which provided as follows:
“That the flag of the United States be thirteen
stripes of alternating red and white, and that the union
be thirteen stars, white, on a blue field, representing
a new constellation.,,
In the first flag the thirteen stains were arranged
in a circle, and after the admission of Vermont and
Kentucky to statehood the number of stars and stripes
was increased to fifteen.
It became evident that with the admission of more
states the number of additional stripes necessary to
represent them would make the flag unwiedly, so in
1918, the present arrangement of thirteen stripes, repre
senting the original colonies, and a star for each state
was adopted.
In commemoration of the adoption of the flag by
Congress in 1777, June 14 is celebrated throughout the
nation as Flag Day, a fitting occasion upon which to re
new allegiance to the flag and all for which it stands.
A TIMELY SUGGESTION
The suggestion is made that with the arrival in
Seward of the large party of members of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce, a large banner should be
hung across the main avenue bearing this caption:
“WE CAN SELL YOU BETTER COAL FOR LESS”
The Seward Chamber of Commerce would be the
proper local organization to cary out this idea which
would forcibly bring to the attention of the prominent
visitors from the Southland, one of Alaska’s most po
tential of exports. It is an established fact that Alaska
coal is of a grade comaparable with any coal mined in
the States; that it is here in unlimited quantities and
that it can be shipped and marked in the States at a
profit. ^ ; jg
It has often been said that old man Depression would
be pushing up the daisies if all of the calamity howlers
could be muzzled.

Before a city can accomplish much, it must have
team-work. Its citizens must cooperate—they must show
a willingness to help one another.

MOOSE CALVES WILL
BE MEN BRISTOL SAY
THEN TO WEN CATE
—
i The two moose calves which
were captured alive by Luke El
well and Alec Bolem, guides, and
their wives, in the lower lake re
gion, will be taken to Bristol Bay
| on the SS Starr, said Crescent P.
Hale, prominent Alaska cannery
man and citizen of San Francisco,
} who received permission to take
j two moose calves and who com
missioned the guides to obtain
them.
! The moose, which are still be
;ing fed milk, will be turned loose
! at one of Mr. Hale’s canneries in
Bristol Bay and later taken dir
! ect to San Francisco where they
will make their future home in
1 the famous Golden Gate Park Zoo.
[Taking the little fellows Westward
will eliminate the extra handling
they would have been forced to un
dergo if shipped South via Seattle.
Last year Mr. Hale presented the
Zoo with two Polar bears and next
year hopes to obtain permission
two Alaska mountain sheep for
the Golden Gate Park Zoo.
It is hoped they will thrive out
Westward sufficiently to with
stand the coming sea-voyage.
