Vanishing Flags
(N.Z. Frew Assn.—Copyright! SYDNEY, March 9. The Jugoslav flag, which flies with the flags of 26 other nations In an international avenue of flags at Cooma, New South Wales, has been stolen for the tenth time. The flag has been pulled down from its pole and destroyed nine times, and the local council began taking it down every night and storing it away,
while the other flags remained fluttering. Now the flag’s storage place has been broken into and the flag taken. The police blame Croatian immigrants for the thefts. The Mayor of Cooma, Aiderman A. H. Johnson, said: “We will continue to fly the flag. Fanatics are not running this town. Any Jugoslav immigrants who want to liberate their country should go home to do it.”
