PRESENT UN FLAG TO U OF D

Presented by Members of Home Demonstration Clubs of Delaware
PLACED IN AUDITORIUM

A United Nations flag was presented Tuesday to the University of Delaware by members of home demonstration clubs of the state.

The presentation was made by Mrs. Edwin P. Neilan, of Glasgow, international relations chairman of the State Home Demonstration Council, who said:

"On behalf of more than 2,000 women in Delaware who are members of home demonstration clubs, I have the privilege of presenting this United Nations flag. The women and girls throughout Delaware have joined the nation in making a special study of the objectives of the United Nations—world peace. This flag is symbolic of our hope for international understanding and world peace. We hope that you can find use for it during this United Nations Week, and in the weeks that follow."

In accepting the flag for the university, Dr. Allan P. Colburn, acting president, told Mrs. Neilan that he is "sure that we will find it a source to stimulate the interest of students, faculty and the citizens of the state."

"Your organization," Dr. Colburn said, "shows how much farther women go beyond their home life; they maintain an interest in world-wide problems, as evidenced by this flag. We are proud that our extension people have had a part in working with the people of the state in developing this interest. You can count on the university to continue this service."

The flag will be placed in Mitchell Hall, the university's auditorium.
