We can’t expect young people to be very concerned about their responsi bilities to the nation if adults don’t show enough interest to display the flag. “Secondly, streets on which tlie flag flies before every home or business Ls one way of pre senting visible evidence of national unity.” Although July 4 will be the second anniversary of the 50 star flag, it is still entirely pro per and correct to display a 48 or 49-star flag.
