through world cooperation, and

resources in the service of man and not for his destruction.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that as a symbol of our obligations as world
citizens, we proudly display the United Nations flag with the United States
flag at the main entrance to the Village Hall and urge other cities to do the
same.
