It's a grand old flag

GLASSPORT, Pa. - Borough officials here learned just how behind the times they were when they noticed that their American flag was missing two stars.

At 48 stars, Glassport's Old Glory was a little too old for council members' liking.

While no one knows how long the old flag had been draped around a flag stand in the council chambers, it's a good bet it has been at least 44 years.



Inside a studio at Channel Three, Abe helps them decorate by hanging a large U.S. flag behind Homer's podium.

Marge: "There are only 49 stars on that flag."
Abe: "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!"
