Philip Bradley, chairman of the state mining and geology board, told members of the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco recentl that he expected the gold crisis to spark a rush of claims this symmer in California’s old gold country; a rush that may continue for several years. ’ Bradley’s point is that many nations desperately want to insure their money’s acceptance, and the best insurance is gold. The complexities of international finance, and the existence of the Special Drawing Rights “paper gold” plan, make predictions risky, of course.

That, it should be unnecessary to explain, is Flag Day. Flag and patriotism are dirty words to some of the dirties among our youth today. A flag is for burning. Patriotism is a bad trip. For most of us, the American flag is the symbol of a dream that changed history, that gave men the world over new hope, new determination to find the life for which God’s children were destined. To scorn the symbol is to scorn the reality this nation has constructed out of the clean and sturdy fibers of that dream. Salute the flag? Yes, with feeling.
