Unaccountably, the Esperantists did not rant for their symbolicolor but seemd to favor orange as the Calif. color (poppy). Yerke, however, argued against orange, declaring a pg of it woud produce astigmatism; an issue, "orangitis". Green had been thumd down a few mins. before because someone said it was hard on the eyes.
