the correct use of the fag:-When
draping, decorating or making cos
tunes for flags always use bunting.
Let the flag wave freely, never hinder
it's movements, never allow small chill
dren to play with it. The flag was not
made for a plaything. Do not drape it
across the top OF a stand or table
where glass or pitcher rest or where
it might be raped with a gavel. The
dag is the symbol of our country, if
here should be any torn or faded flags
IN your community see that they are
-Orn down and burned, never destroy
t in any other way. You are asked to
cooperate in protecting your flag as
t has protected you.
