The ~Illrylnnd ~liIitia under Major Cen· eral Samuel Smith has fortified Baltimore. The British land at North Point. Ceneral Smith sends Brigadier Gl'neral J ohn Stricker to delay them. Stricker has to full back. The British decide, thai evening, to take Baltimore by water. In the attempt, a national anthem is "'riUen by a voluntary hostage aboard a British frigate. On September 13, a thousand men under General Armstead withstand a 25·hour attack by 18 British shipe of the line under Admiral Cochrille. Baltimore doea not capitulate, and before the next major engagement four months later, the young republic has obtained a peace. The tide turned al Baltimore. The story is history and a matler of ch'ic pride. The Star Spangled Banner is an enduring monument to what happened. The place where ....e mark Ihis accomplishment is Fort McHenry, a !prawling, Vaubon.type star forlre:;:! of linest ei~ hteellth ccntury design. DOW Since its inception in 1776, 8S a de£ensive positio n guarding Baltimore's Inner Harbor, Fort McHenry has 8Crved an integral pari in our natioo's defense and a lasting monument to the dedicated patriotism of those who have !;C;rv('d to protect our Flag and its international integrit y. While Fori McHenry i! notd chiefly for in!;piring Francis Scott Key's writing of the Nationlll Anthem in September, 181·1, it has also been utilizcJ during Lhe Civil War, the Sp:wish-American War and bOlh World Wars.

This effort has not gone unnoticed. Yearly, the influx of vieitors, proud Americalli and impressed foreign tourists, has grown by remarkable proportions. ill STOP FORT McHENRY BY.PASS We, the members or The Locust Point Civic Asso· ciation, having made a tborough A tudy of and given due and proper comiideration to the proposed align. meut or Segment 14 of the 3·A Expressway System 1·95 (Fort McHenry By·Pass ) do hereby wish to voice our total opposition to the construction of thi,. !egmenl along any alignment. Call anyone conceive the amount of noise created by 115,800 "cllicle! per day, 11,000 of which will be heavy industrial trucb, p3!!!ing over the Fort, co uld do to the (olemnity of this national shrine. Exhaust pollution is a ma jor concern in America today. The already documented health hazard of exhaust emiuions, which are certainly potentially deadly, by no etretch of the imagination constitute a deterrent to viA itofll to thia national monument. An exhaustive study prepared by the Department of the Interior in 1969 warns repeatedly that aoy further encroachments upon the Fort'll environs will lead to disastrous distraction from its natural setti ng and historic accuracy. ThUll, the efforts of many national und local groups to improve the Fort will be cancelled out to appease poli tical considerations. Our proud heritage ill the birth right of every American citizen. In a time when change and ebbing patriotism have become national facts of life, should we be willing to allow the desecration of our national shrine by encasing it behind a wall of steel, concrete, noise and pollution? ru citizens, we have a right-indeed an obligationto insure that the dwindling threads of our proud pa£( Bre properly interwoven with the whole fabri c of modern American life. To impose this monstrous structure on such II prominellt ly historic si te, is to put the mark of Cain on the memory of the countlC!s number of men down through the history of o ur country, who fougbt and rlied to preserve what the Flag and the National Monument on which it stands means to all the people vf our great country. Ca n real progress be accomplished by a total dis· regard for national heritage? We say no !
