They argue the because of the nature of their groups, in • which the members live together in a brother or sister hood requiring the closest unity, they must be free to-choose mem bers who can live 'compatibly. This is the' best argument these organizations) have that their membership must not be selected for them. However, it should be just as true that no stipulations, self -imposed or otherwise, should exist as to what kind of members they can choose, when these restrictions extend to race, religion or creed. Those of us who are mambas: of Greek latter organizations may have mixed feelings about the sit uation. Our loyalty to our frafer rdty may conflict with our liberal ideas on race or religion.

And it's also a thoroughly symbolic Insignia, down to the tail feathers of the grand or eagle. The earliest known use of the seal was made 180 years ago last Sunday on a document signed by John-.llanson, president of the Continental Congress. The. docu ment, so my aged clipping says, authorized Gen. George Washing ton to arrange with the British for the exchange and better treat ment of prisoners of war. Actually. the sears history can bn traced to July 4. 17711. At 4 p.m. on the 4th. the - Congress named Benjamin Franklin. John Adams end Thomas Jefferson to a com natioe to propose a device for the seal. of the United States. It was not - until 1782, however, that the seal's design was ap proved by Congress. The seal in kabidoscopm Seal of Approval use tOday is placed on a docu ment only after it has been signed by the President. More interesting than tracing the various committees, theme eve r-p resent governmental bodies, which designed the seal, is studying the symbol itself. It is the only government seal in the world with two sides, both of which appear on the dollar bill. Only the face, however, is used to seal official papers. If any readers still have a dollar Left, they can see this seal on the reverse side of G.W.'s likeness. - The sears face shows the "Eagle of Democracy" with the "glory" above' its bead. Indicating the spiritual above the material. The glory is a ring of light surrounded by a cloud. The good or bald iggle—no disrespect meant—rep resenbts national sovereignty and its head the executive branch. That number 13—apparently lucky only to the original colo nies—dominates the seal. For example, there are 13 stars inside the glory, above the eagle's head. The 13 arrows in the bird's left claw represent 'war and 13 olive leaves and seeds in the right claw symbolize peace. The eagle's head turns toward the olive leaves. We must continue to remind Khrush chev this bend is more than just symbolic. Continuing in the 13 motif, there are 13 vertical stripes of A CRADLE OF PROGRESS The infant space age is growing fast. Our trips Into space .cost billions.
