Old Glory 151 Years Old Today, June 14 (Continued from page 1) But the growing of the Union re-! sulted in consternation for a time, for it became a real problem to know how to have a flag which would permit of the addition of more states than the original thirteen, to be represented in the starry field. In 1791 Vermont having been admitted to the Union, and in 1792 Kentucky joined forces with the new nation, Congress in 1794 enacted "that from and after the first day of May, 1795, the flag of the United States be fifteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be fifteen stars, white in a blue field," the intention apparently being to add both stripes and a star for each state admitted. This design remained which inspired Francis Scott Key, a young Maryland' lawyer to write the "Star Spangled Banner." In 1818, the number of states having increased to twenty, Congress enacted that the number of stripes be reduced to thirteen, to typify the thirteen original colonies; that the number of stars be increased to twenty, and that "on the admission of every new state into the union, one star be added to the field." This bill, signed by President Monroe, never has been superseded.
Our flag has inspired many beautiful and sincere tributes, none, perhaps briefer or more poetical than that offered by Captain William Driver, of the brig Charles Doggett, who March 17, 1824 at Salem, was presented a very handsome flag on the eve of his setting sail on a long voyage. As the flag was hoisted and the colors flashed and rippled in the sunlight, he proudly and reverently christened it "Old. Glory," and a nation of loyal sons and daughters has perpetuated the name. A varied story, this tale of Old Glory and its evolution. It does not stop with any event, and it will not stop.
The real story of the flag lies not in mere changes of design; it lies rather in deeds aone in the name of the flag, no matter where, or why, or when. To commemorate all those noble deeds of the far past, or the recent world war, of the present, we have set aside one day each year that we may remember the ideals for which the Stars and Stripes stand. Banner Day At Weedman Children's Day was probably the greatest day the church has witnessed since the dedication of the Sunday. School room. The people began to gather at 9:30 in and continued coming in until the main auditorium and Sunday School were filled to their capacity.
A great number of folks were obliged to remain outside the building for lack of even standing room. After a short Sunday School session the children presented in a very creditable manner "Gretchen's Wonderous Adventure." At the close of the daily vacation Bible school the children will present another program of somewhat similar kind. It is desired that all of our members and visitors see this presentation.

Gillespie, of Champaign, a former resident of this vicinity, will be one of the school graduates East Denver high on Friday evening.
