"In 1991, John H. Drenning, president of the Heckler Plains Folklife
Society, designed the Lower Salford Township flag, along with the help of many
interested individuals and local artist Paula Slemmer, in celebration of the
Township's 250th Anniversary. The three curved stripes, representing the brown
earth, green plants and trees, and the golden crops, along with proper rainfall
and warm sunshine, created a bountiful harvest, securing the survival of the
early settlers. The blue endless sky covers the rest of the flag. The logo
depicts an early Pennsylvania Dutch farmer sharpening the blade of his scythe as
he takes a rest from cutting wheat. His wife is behind him, carrying two oaken
buckets of water to refresh the workers in the field. The logo was in keeping
with the objective of the 250th Anniversary celebration to honor and commemorate
the common people of the township's past, present and future. Above the logo is
the Pennsylvania Dutch word "Gemeinschaft," meaning a "sense of community" or,
more literally, a feeling within a congregation. Standing to the right and left
are cedar trees, indigenous to this area. Cedar was preferred by the early
woodworkers in the construction of chests and closets. Also, in the Bible, cedar
is used as a symbol of splendor, glory and strength. The four stars represent
the villages within our township: Harleysville, Lederach, Mainland and
Vernfield."
