The story from
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=topics.heraldry&m=775:
"The town of Capron has never had a flag, logo or seal. The town council is now
looking for someone to design a crest. Founded in 1888 in rural Virginia, Capron
remains today much as it has since it became a town. [Previously Capron was
called the Princeton Territory]. This is a tiny community of farmers. Farming is
not only a way of life, but it has been handed down through the generations and
the same families struggle to feed the nation. Population of about 140 people,
we are a proud community. We have no grocery store, no restaurant or doctor.
There is no hotel or movie house. We have the feed store [also built in 1888] a
gas station, small post office and 3 churches.
If interested in helping us to create our town crest, please contact Maureen
before May 10, 2004."

The municipal flag of Radford, Virginia, consists of the city seal centered
on a white background, according to the Public Service Librarian at the Radford
Public Library.

The lower part of the city seal seems to be visible on a photo of the Radford
City Council, available on the city website:
http://www.radford.va.us/citycouncil.html. The seal of Radford,
modelled after the state seal of Virginia but with a yellow background, is shown
on Chapter 12 "Obscenity, indecency and the law", Pr. Bill Kovarik's class in
Media Law and Ethics, Radford University. "Decisions by local, state or federal
authorities to suppress obscene or indecent materials are rarely consistent. One
interesting example of this inconsistency involves partial nudity in official
symbols. The seal of the state of Virginia, which shows the Roman Goddess Virtus
dressed in Amazon garb standing over the body of a tyrant, has remained exposed
since the seal was designed in1776. ('Sic Semper Tiranus' means Thus Always to
Tyrants). The state seal was apparently too candid for the city of Radford, Va.,
where the same Goddess was given a brazier but, strangely, an exposed midriff
and panties."
