I WILLIAM PENN LI OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WILLIAM PENN ASSOCIATION, 709 BRIGHTON RD, PITTSBURG Volume 30, Number 6 Address Correction Requested rO sO O'<M >_> 00 'O in On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted a resolution that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white, and that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. Our flag today retains the 13 red and white stripes, repre­senting the 13 original colonies, and 50 stars in a field of blue, representing the union of our 50 states. The red signifies courage, the white signifies a love of liberty and purity of purpose, and the blue signifies loyalty. Today, our flag is still a symbol of everything we hold dear and great in this country. Every time our flag is paraded down the streets of our towns and cities, it brings men, women and children to attention and tears to the eyes of those who care. For more than 200 years men and women have been willing to lay down their lives for the freedoms God has given us and which our constitutional government was established to pro­tect. Through the bitterness of all our wars, our men and women have added to the glory of the flag and to the perpetuation and protection of our freedom. This is the kind of glory that built our nation. It is the kind of glory on which we pride ourselves and through which we became mighty throughout the entire world. The American flag serves as a moving symbol of and for our nation, evoking strong emotions in each of us. So, remember, on June 14—Flag Day—to join with others in your community to celebrate our nation’s symbol of unity, the standard of our democratic republic, and the marker of our devotion to freedom, to the rule of law, and to equal rights for all.

WPA contributes to bombing relief efforts Inside PITTSBURGH — The William Penn Association has joined dozens of fraternal benefit socie­ties in offering financial assistance to relief efforts underway in Okla­homa City following the April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. During a meeting held in the days after the bombing, the Asso­ciation’s Board of Directors passed a resolution authorizing the Association to make a dona­tion of $1,000 to the American Red Cross to aid in the relief efforts. Other fraternal societies have made similar donations or estab­lished disaster relief funds within their societies. The Oklahoma Fraternal Con­gress, an organization represent­ing various fraternal societies with operations in the state, has "adopted” the family of a 35- year-old minister killed in the blast, who left behind a wife, five children and very little insurance money. Anyone wishing to help this family and many others affected by the bombing may send checks— payable to "Oklahoma Fraternal Congress”—to: Ms. Lanell Switzer, President Oklahoma Fraternal Congress c/o Royal Neighbors of America 514 West Hurd Street Edmond, OK 73003. Donations may also be sent to: American Red Cross Oklahoma County Chapter 601 N.E. Sixth Street Oklahoma City, OK 73104 Desk 6209. ■ How you can be working but not be employed ....
