design which won first place,
this flag will be displayed dally
on the court house lawn.
Few-, If any, Texas counties
have official flags. Red River
County may actually be the first
to present such an emblem.
Idee Proposed to County
Historical Society
The Idea of a county flag was
first proposed by Judge Garin
Watson Jr. at the December
meeting of the Red River County
Historical Society. He suggest-
ed that a contest be conducted
among seventh and eighth grade
school children of the county
for a design which might be
suitable for the flag. A contest
committee, consisting at Mrs.
Kandy Osburn, chairman; Mrs/
Don Black and Joe Pinsony was
appointed.
This committee later com-
municated with schools through-
out the county, Inviting coopera-
ttan...pf officials in getting the
contest before the eligible
classes. This group also select-
ed Judges. Contest rules and
entry blanks sere distributed.
School officials cooperated and
the response was gratifying.
Coat of tee coolest has been
defrayed by the Historical
Society, Clarksville Rotary and
