NEWS

There have been other Gov- ernments who have proclaimed rewards for the composition of official national anthems, but rarely do the results fulfil the oMetal requirements.

Stirring events, rather than mone- |tary rewards, are the incentives to thuse who compose the words ex- pressing the aspirations of a people. Two years ago the Government of Albania offered a prize of £80 for a poem to be adopted as the national anthem.

The award went to a young Alban- ian schoolmaster. His lyric, "O Flag Star of Liberty," might never have reen the light without the encourage- ment of a State reward.

At the Santo Bine, his fervent words, taking shape at a time when mall nations were being devoured by dictator States, have the authentic ring of national aspiration.
