1 Our flag dates from June 14,
1777, the year the present design
was settled upon for the erablem
of our country. Thirteen alter-
nate red and white stripes repre-
sent the original thirteen colonies
which engaged in the greatest
revolution known to mankind in
an effort to win freedom of go-
vernment for a sovereign people.
The stars of white on a blue field
represent the independent and
interdependent states comprising
the United States of America. To.
day those stars number fifty.
The flag symbolizes the ideals,
the traditions, and the free ins-
titutions, of our great republic.
In this yea? of our Lord, 1960,
those ideals for which many hun-
dreds of thousands have died
since the days of the American
Revolution are under severe at-
tack, Tiie forces of evil, indeed
the personification of the Lucifer,
himself, roam the world spread-
ing Ideological lies, vituperation
against America and hatred of
anything |of God. This man who
calls upon God to witness his
statements, denies the existence
of the Supreme Dlety and seeks
by every means fair and foul to
stamp out foe very idea o! God
FATHER JOSEPH BERGER
Assisting Father Berger ag

Reverend Adrian Curran, O. S.
B», will serve as Subdeacon. The

Reverend Robert E. Clark, pro-
curator of the Corpus Christi Mi-
nor Seminary.
A reception will be held follow-
ing the Mass from 7:30 until 9:00
F. M., at the XCnights of Colum-
bus Hall on South Alameda. The
friends of the newly ordained
priest and. the public in generrai
are invited to attend.

on this planet.
America is the last bastion of
defense in the name of free men
in all the world. If she should
fall, then the light of liberty will
be extinguished for a hundred
years—-perhaps forever. Some-
where along the way In the post
thirty years or so, America
seems to have lost her purpose,
her goal, her ambition. If she is
to maintain a valid reason for
continued existence beyond some
near future date, then all Ame-
ricans must seriously examine
their personal purpose for living.
Our standard of living is not ac-
cidental, our national freedom
Is not accidental, our heritage is
