Citizens Can Fly
Flags at Half Staff
WASHINGTON. April 15—A
State Department official said to-

would want to fly their flags at

While President Truman order-
ed that flags remain at half staff

HATURDAY NIGHT—
Mrs. J. W. Brice Dies
In Naval Hospital
Mr". J. W. Brice, 24 daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Engdahl
of the East Sweden community,
died Saturday night at the Naval
hospital at Corpus Christi follow-
ing a major operation. She had
been hospitalized there for the

TALKING ABOUT coincidences
(which we were before we got
into this heavy-weight mathemati-
cal handicap) there’s the^one a-
bout Presidents who have been
electea at twenty-year intervals,
dying in office. The list starts
\.ith William Henry Harrison in
1840, and continues thru Abra-
ham Lincoln, 1860, James Gar-
field, 1880, William McKinley,
1900, Warren G. Harding, 1920,
and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940.
« e •
Incidentally, it is noted that Har-
ry S. Truman is the seventh vice-
president to succeed to the high-
est office in the land by reason of
death of the incumbent. Others on
the list are John Tyler, 1840, Mil-
lard Fillmore, 1850, Andrew John-
son, 1865, Chester A. Arthur,
1881, Theodore Roosevelt, 1901,
and Calvin Coolidge, 1923.

THEN, HERE’S INTERESTING
information upon the flying
of the flag. Thirty days is offic-
ially designated as the period of
mourning, and during which the
flag is flown at half mast as a
mark of respect to the deceased
president. This custom may be
followed by civilians, as well as
by government agencies c.
pertinents.
There’s another new ruling
flag etiquette, that permits the
flag to be flown all night, fzr
special patriotic purposes. Ordin-
arily, the flag is taken down at
ennset. But under a new regula-
tion, which was approved by the
Flag Congress, appointed by the
late President, flying of the flag
at night is permitted. But, it is
jMtgested, that where the flag is
<£>wn at half mast during the
day, it be raised to the top of the
staff when allowed to fly all
night.
POR THE PUN (or is it bun) of
r the moment, there’s the Tex-
as school girl who made applica-
tion for entrance in the Univer-
sity of Texas in the summer, and
who stated she wanted to reside
in the Scotch and Rye Dormitory.
Her letter was pass'd on to offic-
ials of Scottish Rite Dormitory.
