B.o ck S-prings, Wyoming. _D ear Sir: RE: Death Howar d Parfitt The attached excerpt is from this mornings Ro cket. On June 30, I sent you a copy of a letter which I wro te to Mr. Fred s. Fobes, Clerk of• the Supreme Court, in ,·,hich I _pointed out that the 11 workmans Compensation J!"und 11 was un r epr e sented in · 1ft"Jhat I believe to b .e a large majority of the Comp ensation c a ses. The Howard Parfitt case well illustrates a mos t d eplorable situation. George Parfitt has been a county officer f or man y years, receiving a substantial salary, for no _work , which I can discover, he has ever perfonned. Joseph H~ Gali cich , i s . a fellow county officer , and Joseph H. Galicich con ceives .that it is his official duty, under his oath of off'i ce. to p rosec u te, in favor of the claimants, all claims against th e Compensatio n . • fund. It is readily unaerstood that little equi ty can a rise at the h~aring of the P arfitt case. I know no thing of the financial relation shi p of Howard Parfitt with his father Geor g e Parfitt.

Copy Aachen, January 1st, 1957 Aachen Purwe iderweg 9 Mr. I. N. Bayless President of The Union Pacific Coal Co. Omaha., Neb. Mr. President: We are two students of the mining branch of Aachen university and want to broaden our insights and experiences in this field through working practically in American mines. We have just entered the third academical year. Our study was preceded by several years of practically working in coal mines of the Ruhr and Aachen district. We especially are interested in your mechanical progress in winning coal and moving into new fields. We also have a big interest in personal relations (human relations), what we call the climate of the company. As you probably know we shall receive a visa only when we have in hand a paper from an American coal mine telling those that are concerned that a place of work for about two months is open. May l-re therefore turn to you with our request to accept us as workers and to send us the mentioned certificate. We anticipate your answer with joy and gratitude, trusting that you will understand our situation and generously will give consideration to our request.

Hurry: This will confirm our telephone conversation of yesterday concerning the young German mining engineers program sponsored by the Foreign Operations Administration, successor organization to the Mutual Security Agency. Messrs. Fritz Claes and Heinz Hess uere selected for this program on the basis of their distinguished post graduate training work by the German mining industr;r. Resumes of their experience are enclosed for your information. It would be appreciated if they could stay with your CO,!lpany for approxilnately six i-reeks. The program contenplated for these engineers is for each one to spend approximately six months in the United States trairu.ng in the deep shaft coal or ore mines, the bituminous fields and the anthracite regions. These engineers should not be considered as uorkers but rather as observers and any training made available should in no way conflict with the State statutes under uhich yoirr co111pa.,"iy is operating nor uith any agree.Jent e:dsting between your company and a labor organization. The FOA will arrange for all adninistrative details during the participants' stay in the United States, including transportation, health and accident insurance coverage, and other particulars which normally arise during the course of a program such as this. A daily maintenance allm-rance, cormnensurate uith the norlilal living costs of the area in uhich they will be located, will be paid directly by this Administration. They have been cleared by the appropriate agencies for security purposes permitting access to unclassified operations and material only. Should you have any questions concerning the program, please contact me. For your convenience I may be reached by telephone at Sterling J-6400, extension 2648.

Proposed visit to your Rook Springs, Wyoming Mine Safety Operations. First of all , our apologies to you for not havi ng writ­ ten you before this dateo Secondly, we have several good reasons and are not offering excuses other than to say that with limi ted time to prepare the program and know ing that Mr. Fritz A. Graf, a member of this group , and a former employe of yours i n 1931-2, had a1ready informed you of their wishes, we need not do so be­ fore their arrival o I n case you have not received a copy of the quickly prepared Program-Itinerary of travel we are now sending you a copy autographed by mysel f, and I am sure Mr. Graf and other members of their team will be glad to do l ikewise. The names of the four teen (14) men on this team are shown on a front meet of the program wi th their home addresses and affiliations there. All of these men have been investigated and cleared as we must do all such vi si tors on MSA snonsored study projects to satisfy both the State Department and the De­ partment of Defense. This does not mean that they are enti tled to receive any restricted information or to be shown any restrict­ ed areas that an ordinary citizen of the USA could not have at the present time. We feel certain that you Will find all of these men responsible and serious about the best interests of Western Germany and all NATO countries. At the top of page 12 of the program you see what we took the l iberty of including, without your permissi on but with a strong feeling that you wouJ.d not feel obligated in any way and wouJ.d want it that way. We hope that we have made ourselves clear but i f not 1t will be a pleasure to explain further i f we have the pleasure of meeting wi th you. There is a possibility that your mines will not be operating on Saturday but that shoUld not matter to this group and is the only time open at the moment . We are leaving tomorrow for the South and then to D en­ ver. Would you be so kind as to send your reply to my office here in Washington with a copy to me at either the hotel i n Birmingham 1 Alabama or the Denver, ColoTado address, depending upon the date of reply, so I may know your wishes i n this mat­ ter. Our fullest understanding and cooperation will be yours for what ever you wish in the we:y of meeting withMr . Graf and his friends, around the dates and times of travel indi cated i n �/ the program for obvious reasons of reservat ions, etc .

On Saturday , Dec ember 13 , it i s stated that arrangement s have been made by Region IV to visit the Union Pacific Co al mines at Rock Springs, Wyoming. Coal mine s seldom wo rk on Saturday , and it is doubt ful if any but a few offic ial s will be aro und on Saturday and vi sitors cert ainly will no t be welcome by them on that date . It i s sug gested that the pro gram be rearranged if Ro ck Springe i s to pe included on the 11 st .

For your information, there may be some difficulty for these gentlemen to see the shuttle cars in operation at ths mines on these dates due to our working time being somewhat curtailed at the present time. During ‘the past weeks ths mines have been working on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I am unable to state at this time just what days we will be work­ ing next week. In any event it will be at least two days and I am hoping there will be a possibility of three days. Anyway, these arrangements can be made when these gentlemen arrive.

We wish to make report of their visit, which consisted of a party of seven men arriving by private plane at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 15, the personnel arriving being as followss, F, Mo Groves, President, So Jo Groves and Sons Company A. Co Fletcher, Vice President, So J. Groves and Sons Company No 17, Mead, Geologist, So Jo Groves and Sons Company No L« Mitchell, Pilot, So J. Groves and Sons Company Address; Wesley Temple, Minneapolis, Minnesota No So Webster, President, Walter Bledsoe and Company Address; 700 Merchants Bank Building Terre Haute, Indiana Wade Grey, Assistant Div, Sales Manager, Walter Bledsoe & Company W. Ho Berney, District Sales Manager, Walter Bledsoe and Company Address; 1481 Northwestern Bank Building Minneapolis, Minnesota Mr, Charles and the undersigned met the plane at the Rock Springs airport and were advised by Mr. Fo M, Groves that their time was short and I they wished to visit Superior and Hanna and return to Sheridan on the evening of the same day. We took the men to our office and discussed the map describ­ ing the No. 1 Seam location in the vicinity of Superior D, 0, Clark Mine and a short visit was made to this location. The party, accompanied by Mr. Charles, flew to Rawlins and v?as met there by Mine Superintendent Burress, who took the men to visit the Nugget Coal Company strip operation, the strip operation of the Monolith-Portland-Midwest Company and an inspection of the potential strip area to the north and west of the Nugget Coal Company opera­ �- 2 We did not accompany the party on their Hanna trip for reason of over­ tion. loading the plane and lack of enthusiasm for flying. Our short discussion with the party left the following impressions5 1« The So Jo Groves and Sons Company have a considerable amount of dirt moving equipment which they feel can be assigned to coal stripping operation with a greater return or realisation than can be derived from competitive bidding on highway and other work. 2. The personnel of Walter Bledsoe and Company, who we under­ stand are both coal brokers and mine operators, are primarily interested in securing cheap coal to place in competition foi* marketing in the Dakotas and Twin Cities area,, 3. The party had visited the Sheridan area on Friday and were very much impressed by the comparative analysis of Superior, Hanna and Sheridan coals. 4. The representatives Of ’Walter Bledsoe and Company would much prefer to secure Hanna or Superior coal for marketing, however Hr. Head of the S. J. Groves and Sons Company left us with the impression that he preferred Sheridan coal and his reason is no doubt ease of stripping as compared with other locations. We furnished a plat of the area at Ho. 1 Seam, Superior, and did not advise that we had relinquished the lease on same. We also furnished them copy of our analysis of Superior and Hanna coals. No plats were furn­ ished of the Hanna potential strip location. No committments of any nature as to possibility of leasing or contract to strip or load coal for our purposes or others was made by this office. The inspection and discussion was very brief due to the fact that the men arrived here at 10 a.m., left for Rawlins at ls30 p.m. without any time out for lunch and returned to Rawlins from Hanna around 5 p.m. The hurried nature of the trip by the visitors would indicate to the undersigned that they are not particularly interested.

Dear Mr. Dickinson: I have just received word from our Sales Manager in Columbus, stating that a Mr. N. J. Clark, Manager of the Caledonia Collieries Company, of Australia, had been in Columbus in the course of touring the United States coal fields. Mr. Clark is on his way West, and expects to be in this vicinity in a few weeks. He is especially interested in the mining of thick coal seams, ranging fran 14' to 25', so I was wondering should Mr. Clark desire to go to Wyoming, if you would be so kind and give him all the possible information in regard to your Hanna, Wyoming operation. I am compelled to le~ve for Canada and the Northwest in a few days, so I will be unable personally to conduct Mr. Clark. However, with your permission I will write a letter of introduction to you, and any information you wish to give him will certainly be appreciated. Very sim erely yours, TEE ~~NUFACTURING CO.

The parade was one of the largest and most colorful ever held in Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com­ posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band. One of the outstanding floats in the parade was that of the American Legion's 40 and 8, depicting a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8 locomotive, which won first prize. The second and third prize winners were those of the Improved Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout Troop 99, respectively. by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris. Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a musical director, furnishing music while awaiting the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special. The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs High School Band also participated in the parade, together with many automobiles and people march­ ing. After the parade disbanded, the people moved en masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de­ pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe­ cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also played some stirring airs. As the cry went up from the assembled crowd "Here she comes,’’ the train pulled in slowly, the Kiltie Band playing ‘‘The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie making the remark that she noticed the Kilties were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy with George.

Judge Taliaferro remarked that the Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the presentation speech, which he did in a very happy vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo, which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham. and was fashioned of the famous Rock Springs coal. A short talk was made by Gracie. who re­ marked she was thrilled to look into their wideopen faces. George Burns also made a few remarks. winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream. The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs met the train and was present during the program. The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a special car which had been provided for their transportation. The train made a stop in Chey­ enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and gpent a couple of hours entertaining the patients. They paraded in Denver, Colorado, Monday morning at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They arrived in 0maha.__AL4---p.m. Tuesday, May 14th. where they"piped Gracie into the station. Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday were taken up with serenading at various orphan­ ages, hospitals and other institutions. Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with 19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly of infantry and mechanized units of United States army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Town and in the evening led the parade of the Omaha Whisker club. Participation in another parade occupied atten­ tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre­ sented before an estimated crowd of more than 10,000 people. Inclement weather Saturday again forced can­ cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren­ aded visitors and employes at the headquarters building of the Union Pacific railroad. En route to Rock Springs they presented a short concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey­ enne. After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special, the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day, with various contests and a street dance on Elias Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore in the evening. June, 1940 On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso­ lution : 'Resolved — that the Flag of the United States be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a Blue Field, representing a new Constellation? That Constellation, originally consisting of thir­ teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate means of informing the people of all Nations of the sustained and continuous progress which has been made toward insuring the permanent secur­ ity and contentment of the American people.

The science of medicine is forever push­ ing out and onward into new fields, to bring comfort, relief and permanent cure to the ills of mankind. Since life is ever becoming more complicated, the ills that attack life are ever becoming more complex. The hospitals them­ selves must offer to the patient every possi­ ble form of aid. We somehow think that our hospital is very modern in every field of med­ ical enterprise. The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital has one of the most learned staffs of any hos­ pital of its size in this part of the country. To offer the best in nursing and medical skill has ever been uppermost in the minds of the trustees. To do this, we added in 1937 a new department to the already skillful and up-todate existing departments, and that is the department of psychiatry. It has long been the opinion of men competent to judge that the ills of the mind are on the increase. We commend this book to you, and we hope that you will make known to your friends and acquaintances what our hospital has to offer, expertly, in the way of medical care. CECELIA MEISTER, Superintendent �<b DRIVING OF "THE GOLDEN SPIKE" Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869 �The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital T -L t seems appropriate at a time when the citizens of Omaha and the whole west are celebrating the "Driving of the Golden Spike” and the first showing of the great moving picture "Union Pacific,” to make reference to another pioneer institution of Omaha, Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital. While the building of the first transcontinental railroad from Omaha to the state of California, (thus carrying out the plans of President Abraham Lincoln), differs in form and magnitude from the creation of Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, there is a sufficient similarity to justify comparison. Both institutions- were conceived, planned, constructed, and are carried on to render a service to humanity. The Union Pacific Railroad reached Promontory Point, Utah, in 1869, and on May 10, of that year the Golden Spike which united the line from the east with that from the west, was driven, and rail com­ munication across the continent became a reality. In that same year the first Omaha hospital had its hum­ ble beginning, and like the great Union Pacific it too has grown with the years. The first hospital in Omaha, the forerunner of the splendid institution of today, was built in 1869, on a lot owned by the city and located near the corner of Webster and Twenty-third Streets. The building was a small one, containing but six rooms. Opened for patients in March, 1870, under the name of the "Good Samaritan,” a committee of Christian women, repre­ senting nearly every church denomination in the city, personally assumed the care of the patients and the management of the hospital, serving as nurses, in­ spectors, and general providers, a few kindly physi­ cians rendering medical service without charge. Step by step the work went forward until it was eventually turned over to the Right Reverend Robert Harper Clarkson, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska, who succeeded in erecting the first permanent hospital in the city located at 1716 Dodge Street. This hospital was formally dedicated December 13, 1883. Larger and more commodious buildings were secured through the years, this con­ tinuing effort culminating in the purchase and re­ building of the present splendid edifice located at �HOSPITAL ATTACHES dressed for Golden Spike celebration �26th and Dewey Streets, which was formally opened for service on May 15, 1936. The present hospital, located near the Farnam Street car line, within convenient distance from the down town as well as the principal residence dis­ tricts, ranks in equipment with the more modern hos­ pitals in the west. With a staff of more than fifty of the city's lead­ ing physicians and surgeons and with seventy-five more high class professional men on its accepted list, medical and surgical service of the highest order is available to patients. Among some of the more con­ spicuous features of the hospital might be noted: Five operating rooms for surgical service. A thoroughly equipped Psychiatry Depart­ ment. A modern Fever Therapy Department. A fully equipped X-ray and Deep-X-rayTherapy Department. A modem pathological Department, directed by competent pathologists and a staff of technicians. Every room is equipped with Simmons hos­ pital beds, an innerspring mattress, over­ top table and individual equipment. A daily menu is provided, each adult patient selecting his or her choice of food. The hospital is equipped with two electric steam-driven generators, thus providing electric light and power, which, located wholly within the building, is not subject to failure by wind or sleet storms. A selfcontained laundry with a water softener plant insures an ample supply of fresh lin­ en at all times. We have referred to our splendid staff of physi­ cians and surgeons. Back of this first line is a corps of more than a hundred supervisors, trained technicians and nurses, men and women who have dedicated their lives to the service of the sick and afflicted. Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital is conducted under the auspices of the Church, its staff and those whom it serves includes Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish men and women. Bishop Clarkson Mem­ orial Hospital is dedicated to the service of God and humanity and is not a profit-making institution. When you come to Omaha April 26th to 29th, to do honor to the great railroad that was the forerunner of all transcontinental lines, and to celebrate the sev­ entieth anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike, or on any subsequent occasion, do not fail to visit Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, whose fore­ runner undertook the work of caring for the sick of Omaha the year the Golden Spike was driven. �FIRST PERMANENT HOSPITAL 1716 Dodge Street Dedicated December 13, 1883 �Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital 415 South 26th Street * Telephone Webster 1900 □ Omaha, Nebraska if One and one-half blocks south of the Farnam street 5 ‘ I car line.

Presented with a kangaroo made of Rock Springs coal and made wel­ come to the city by Police Judge A. iL. Taliaferro, Junior Old1 Timer President Ole Knudsen and General (Union Pacific Coal company Mana­ ger I. N. Bayless, Gracie said: “I like all miners and those over 21, too.” .Gracie’s campaign speech, though a trifle incoherent, left the bright­ ly-garbed crowd snickering in the pleasant spring weather. With an impish grin, Gracie re­ marked upon first seeing McAu­ liffe’s Kiltie band, who boarded the train to help Gracie with her cam­ paign, “Well, I see the Kiltie band is wearing its ipants at half-mast in honor of George Burns.” Gracie is conducting her campaign on the “Surprise Party” ticket for i president on the basis that there 'should1 be a woman in the1 White House, in fact Gracie feels that women have always been tho real rulers of the land but that the men get all the credit. “Why, take Martha Washington,” the irrepressible radio and screen comedian remarked, "she ran at can­ dy store while her husband was pres­ ident because she couldn’t fly to Seattle each week.” George Burns, stooge husband of the dizzy dame, when ifltroduced, thanked1 everyone for listening to 'Gracie. Truman Bradley, radio an­ nouncer on Gracie’s program, was also introduced and made a few brief remarks. Preceding the arrival of the spe­ cial, one of the finest parades ever presented in Rock Springs was view­ ed by a crowd which packed . the sidewalks all along the parade; route. Bands, floats and1 gaily-garbed in­ dividuals made the scene one of the ■brightest' ever presented In Ro.ck Springs as well as the noisest. Winners in the float and costume contests were the 40 and 8 floats, first prize of $50; Improved Order of Redmen, second prize of $25, and third prize, Boy Scout troop No. 99; Mrs. William Pecolar and Bill O’Far­ rell won first costume prizes of $5, with Mrs. George Cornford and' How­ ell Powell, the second prize $3 win­ ners; Elsie .Mae Crofts and Agnes 'Carter won the $3 and $2 chil­ dren’s prizes. Traffic congestion on the high­ way where the bicycle races were scheduled to be held made that part of the program impossible. The en­ trants spit the prize money and were disbanded. The prizes for the floats and cos­ tumes were awarded-at the street dance held later in the aftrnoon on Elias avnue just off Pilot Butte. The big Golden Spike ball held at’ the Playmoire that evening attracted a record-breaking crowd.

The special has. been chartered by the Omaha Golden Spike days com­ mittee for the express purpose of providing Gracie with the means of conducting a rear platform cam­ paign. There will be 32 stops from Los Angeles to Omaha, and Gracie and her consort, George Burns, dressed in Golden Slpike costumes, and accompanied by their entire jcompajny, will make personal ap­ pearances from the rear platform. Stops at the larger alties enroute will be of some hours' duration.

The Union Pacific Coal Company, and others. The parade started from the Union Pacific Rail­ road’s freight depot al 9:30 a. m.. moving on South Front Street, then over the “C” Street crossing onto Elk Street, Bridger Avenue, Pilot Butte Avenue, “K” Street. North Front Street, and back to the freight depot, where it disbanded. The parade was one of the largest and most colorful ever held in Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com­ posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band. One of the outstanding floats in the parade was that of the American Legion’s 40 and 8. depicting a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8 locomotive, which won first prize. The second and third prize winners were those of the Improved Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout Troop 99, respectively. by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris. Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a musical director, furnishing music while awaiting the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special. The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs High School Band also participated in the parade, together with many automobiles and people march­ ing. After the parade disbanded, the people moved en masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de­ pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe­ cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also played some stirring airs. As the cry went up from the assembled crowd "Here she comes.” the train pulled in slowly, the Kiltie Band playing "The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie making the remark that she noticed the Kilties were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy with George.

Bayless, boarded the train. Judge Taliaferro remarked that the Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the presentation speech, which he did in a very happy vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo, which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham, and was fashioned of the famous Rock Springs coal. A short talk was made by Gracie, who re­ marked she was thrilled to look into their wideopen faces. George Burns also made a few remarks, winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream. The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs met the train and w'as present during the program. The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a special car which had been provided for their transportation. The train made a stop in Chey­ enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and spent a couple of hours entertaining the patients. They paraded in Denver. Colorado. Monday morning at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They arrived in Omaha at 4 p. m. Tuesday, May 14th, where they piped Gracie into the station. Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday were taken up with serenading at various orphan­ ages, hospitals and other institutions. Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with 19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly of infantry and mechanized units of United States army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Town and in the evening led the parade of the Omaha Whisker club. Participation in another parade occupied atten­ tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre­ sented before an estimated crowd of more than 10,000 people. Inclement weather Saturday again forced can­ cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren­ aded visitors and employes at the headquarters building of the Union Pacific railroad. En route to Rock Springs they presented a short concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey­ enne. After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special, the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day, with various contests and a street dance on Elias Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore in the evening. On June 14, 1777. the Continental Congress in session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso­ lution : ‘Resolved — that the Flag of the United Stales be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a Blue Field, representing a new Constellation.’ That Constellation, originally consisting of thir­ teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate means of informing the people of all Nations of the sustained and continuous progress which has been made toward insuring the permanent secur­ ity and contentment of the American people. The Fourth of July is the most appropriate day for the Nation and its people to give adequate ex­ pression in their homes and in public to their tra­ ditionally deep patriotism and their enduring al­ legiance to the Stars and Stripes.
