Music has been chpsen from Public service use of the national Bicentennial symbol has been authorized, any is being encouraged, by the American Revolution Bicen­ tennial administration (AR­ BA) Under the policy, the symbol may be used where public service space is traditionally offered free to carry public service messages. Samples of such use would be on milk cartons, matchbooks, stationery, on the sides of trucks and buses, as a leader on motion pictures, on billboards, and on magazine, newspaper and certain authorized product wrappers. The symbol cannot be used in a way which would increase the intrinsic value or imply en­ dorsement of the product or service. Used in this manner, the symbol would also be ac­ companied by the legend "Support Your Bicentennial," "Discover Bicentennial America," or "Official Bicentennial Symbol". Generally, there should also be a brief informative and positive message relating to the Bicentennial. Specific written ARBA authorization is required for public service use of the symbol. Such use must be in accordance with guidelines in the Official Graphics Standards manual. John W. Warner, Bicen­ tennial administrator, who has urged Americans to display the symbol, including flying the Bicentennial flag, said he hoped many businesses, associations, and other groups would use the symbol as a public service so that it will become even more familiar to the nation's citizens. The Bicentennial symbol takes the form of a 5-pointed star, surrounded by continuous red,» white and blue stripes which form a second star. It is derived from the stars, stripes and colors of the United States flag. The ARBA has previously authorized use of the symbol for purposes of identification, official recognition of projects and programs, public in­ formation, and on licensed official commemorative items. Authorized users include federal and state agencies, Bicentennial Communities, programs that have received^ official recognition and members of various ARBA- sponsored Alliances. The nation's news media are en­ couraged to use it in connection with news and editorial coverage of the Bicentennial.
