One of our Scouts complained about
the ragged condition of many flags. They
disgrace our patriotic village. Get new
ones. 1t shows, d~isrespect to let them
be out in all kinds of weather and at
nights. The military rule is to fly the
flag from sunrise to sunset. 1t should
be no laborious work to hoist and 1ower
the flag. If you love it give it due care.
Do not have it so ragged that it looks as
if it should be over the almshouse instead
of our rich and patriotic homes.
