NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
THE Town or MANcHEsTER will continue its cus- 
tom of giving six band concerts in the open air during 
the summer. The pleasure given to the residents and 
summer visitors and the dwellers in the towns round 
about, who come into Manchester to hear the concerts, 
well justifies the expenditure of the money.

Old Glory’s Birthday Next Sunday, 
June 14, 
From the headquarters of the Na- 
tional Association of Patriotic In- 
structors, connected with the Wo- 
men’s Relief Corps, has been sent 
out the following appeal for the ob- 
servance of Flag Day, which is com- 
ing to be more generally observed 
every year, especially in our public 
schools: 
““More and more as the years 
come and go, we realize the signifi- 
cance of Flag Day—June 14, Old 
Glory’s birthday. For one hundred 
and thirty-seven years, the stars and 
stripes have been the visible symbol 
of our nationality, and with but few 
changes. The original plan of an 
additional stripe and star for each 
state added to the Union soon prov- 
ed impracticable, the narrowing of 
the stripes detracting from the 
beauty of the flag; and so, in 1818, 
the number of stripes was fixed at 
thriteen, the number of the original 
states, and a star has been added 
for each newcomer, until now we 
have a constellation of forty-eight 
stars upon the azure field. 
‘“‘Sometimes we hear rumors of 
proposed changes in our flag, but it 
is difficult to believe that anything 
like an organized movement for that 
purpose exists. Our banner is so 
beautiful, so satisfying sentiment- 
ally and artistically, that no -true 
American of any section could wish 
to see it changed or displaced. 
“‘On Flag Day we unite to do 
honor to it, to demonstrate our love 
for it, to retell its story. It is an 
especially fitting time to call atten- 
tion to the desecration to which it 
is sometimes subject, because of the 
can depend upon your cleansing, dyeing and press- 
ing work being done satisfactorily when you have 
it done by us. 
Our process assures you of an 1m- 
maculate appearance that is beyond criticism.

carelessness which seems to be an 
American peculiarity, for it is said 
that all other great nations uphold 
the dignity of their standard to a 
greater degree than is customary 
‘“Hspecial interest attaches to 
Flag Dag this year, because we are 
soon to celebrate the centenary of 
the writing of the ‘Star Spangled 
Banner,’ which the war department 
has designated as our national an- 
them, and which calls us to our feet 
wherever its inspiring strains are 
heard. 
‘Our flag is often eulogized as 
the ‘unconquered banner.’ Shall 
we not add to that title that of the 
unsulied banner. On our public 
buildings, our schoolhouses and in 
our churches it would stand only 
for the best—clean politics, superior 
educational advantages loving’ ser- 
vice. 
‘“When every child has learned 
the lesson of love and reverence for 
the flag, our future will be assured. 
While we would not, as is sometimes 
alleged, make a fetich of the flag, 
we would have our people more fam- 
iliar with its story than they now 
are. They should know of the saeri- 
fices which were made for its posses- 
sion, and later for its preservation 
when its entirety was threatened, 
and the dark stain upon its folds 
had to be expunged by heroic meth- 
ods. 
‘“‘That our observance of Flag 
Day shall not be merely perfune- 
tory, let us bring to bear a sense of 
the honor and dignity and probity 
which should characterize the dis- 
play of the flag, and so disseminate 
and absorb the lessons of the day 
that the result shall be a new con- 
secration to the highest patriotic 
and civie ideals, and to the broad 
Christian charity which includes all 
mankind,’’
