SHOULD ,HAVE A FLAG,.
Clinton is 'a' progressive town in
some ways but it is very 'much be-
hind the times in that it does not pos-
sess a town flag, or at least cannot
'tIy one.
On more than one occasion on spec-
ial holidays The News -Record has
called attention to the fact that the,
town flag was not flown, only ,ta'be
told by ` Chief Stong' that the flag • '
could not be run up owing to some
defect in the pole. This has been go-
ing 'on
o-ing'on .for some time; a couple of
years anyway, perhaps more. The
town council has spent money for
numerous things as the years have
coxae -and gone, -why have they not
supplied a town flag and a. pole on
which it can be flown when occasion
presents itself ?
