Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manual for the General Court Nine historic developments approved by New Hampshire´s Legislature over the past 72 years continue to function as basic features of the public life of its citizenry. The Granite State never had an official state flag until it was created by the 1909 Legislature. It has had an official state seal, in various forms, since 1775, but is was not until 1931 that the Legislature created the present seal with rigid restrictions as to detail. New Hampshire became the last state in the Union to adopt a state motto, which became "Live Free or Die," by vote of the 1945 Legislature. And the 1945 legislators also adopted the "Old Man of the Mountain," the world famous scenic wonder of the White Mountains, as the states official emblem. In addition, by legislative actions, the purple lilac became the state flower in 1919; the white birch became the state tree in 1947; the purple finch became the state bird in 1957, and the ladybug became the state insect in 1977. New Hampshire also has an official state song, and several honorary state songs, created over a period of years. Flag, Adopted in 1909. It was not until 1909 that the Legislature adopted an official state flag, and its use was mostly restricted to State House display. Then the 1955 Legislature gave the Governor authority to promulgate regulations for its general use, and this was implemented by Governor Lane Dwinell of Lebanon on August 8, 1956.The 1909 flag law read: The body or field of the flag shall be blue and shall bear upon its center in suitable proportion and colors, a representation of the state seal. The motto shall include the date 1784. Said seal shall be surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves with nine stars interspersed. When used for military purpose, said flag shall conform to the regulations of the United States. Said flag shall be displayed above the State House whenever the Legislature is in session, and during meetings of the Governor and Council, when expedient, and upon such other occasions as the Governor may designate. Governor Dwinell´s 1956 regulations, which continue to this day, include the following: Whenever the state flag is flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs or poles, the flag of the United States is hoisted first and lowered last. The state flag should not be used to cover a casket, nor to decorate graves. The state flag should never be used as a covering for a statue or monument at an unveiling ceremony. The state flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. The numeral 1784 was changed to 1776 when the Legislature voted an improved state seal in 1931. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
