Flag Day Exercises at Graettinger Honor Local Efforts
Graettinger held flag day ceremonies last Thursday with J C Molizem as master of ceremonies. Graettinger ladies prepared the program, a flag pole was raised, and Miss Minnie Henningsen received a silk flag for her Memorial Day rendering. Boy Scouts led by F H Green raised the flag as T D Collins gave an acceptance speech. Dr LeRoy Titus Weeks of Emmetsburg delivered an inspiring address. The oath of allegiance was recited: I pledge allegiance to my flag, and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The event was praised as creditable to the community.
