Rules for Showing Proper Respect

The American Legion Auxiliary is
drawing attention all over the State
to the proper recognition of the
flag.
Don't sew the flag onto a sofa pill
low.
Don't use the flag as silk hand
kerchief
Don't use the flag in any form of
advertising.
Don't wear the flag as a costume
or in any comical way
Don't arrange the flag in fantastic
design or use it as bunting.
Don't let the flag drag in the dust
or touch the ground (even at unveil-
ings).
Don't use the flag as a tablecloth.
bible may rest upon it-nothing
else
Don't drape the flag below the
seats of a platform, or below per-
son sitting.
Remember The Stars and
Stripes always claim the place of
honor, the forefront, the highest
elevation.
When the Star Spangled Banner is
played, when sitting, rise, face the
music or the flag, and stand at at
tentiOn.
OUR GOAL.
Proper respect for the Stars and
Stripes-the symbol of the spirit of
America
AS respect for the flag can be most
successfully impressed upon the
young, see that the rules of OBJ
servance, together with the pledge to
the flag, are taught in the schools.
Il pledge allegiance to my flag.
and to the republic for which it
stands, one nation, indivisible, with
liberty and justice to all"
The Auxiliary can do much to
bring about the proper salute to the
flag by circulating flyers at parades,
with the following wording:
WHEN THE FLAG PASSES BY:
Rules for Men:
If in uniform, snap to attention
and salute.
If in civilian clothes, stand up;
simply remove your hat with your
right hand and place it against your
| left shoulder.
Rules for Women:
All that is deemed necessary for
woman to do is to stand at atten-
ton for moment as the flag passes.
Each flag, the Stars and Stripes, or
the allied flags, should be saluted

Sheetrock the freproof wallboard, is by
far the most permanent, most simple of
application, and most economical material
to use.
Sheetrock won't burn, each board bears the
official stamp of the Underwriters Labora-

Its wide rigid sections, sealed tight with Sheet

rain, snow and wind. Being non-conductor of
heat and cold it offers equal protection from the
heat of summer and the cold of winter.
