HOW TO RESPECT IT
the Flag should be placed so that the
union is at the head and over the left
shoulder. The Flag should not be
lowered into the grave nor allowed
to touch the ground. The casket
should be carried foot first.
IA. When the Flag is displayed
in church it should be from staff
placed on the congregations right as
they face the clergyman. The serv-
ice flag, the state flag, or other flag
should be at The left of the congrega-
ton. If in the chancel, the Flag OF
the United States should be placed
on the clergyman's rights as he faces
the congregation and other flags on
his left.
Is. When the Flag is in such a
condition that it is no longer fitting
emblem for display it should not be
cast aside or used in any way that
might be viewed as disrespectful to
the national colors, but should be de-
stroyed as a whole, privately, prefer,
ably by burning or by some other
method in harmony with the reverence
and respect we owe to the emblem
representing our county.
Cautions.
1. Do not permit disrespect to be
shown to the Flag of the United
States.
2. Do not dip the Flag of the
United States to any person or any
thing. The regimental color, state
flag, organization or institutional
flag will render this honor.

United States touch the ground OF
trail in the water.
4. Do not place any object or EN-.
blem of any kind on or above the
Flag of the United States.

cry in any form whatever. Use
bunting of blue, white and red.
6. Do not fasten the Flag in such
manner as will permit it to be cas-
lily torn.
Z. Do not drape the Flag over the
hood, top, sides or back of vehicle
or of a railroad train or boat. When
the Flag is displayed on motor car

the chassis or clamped to the radiator
cap.

float in a parade except from staff

II. Do not put lettering of any
kind upon the Flag.
IL. Do not use the Flag in any
form of advertising nor fasten an ad-
vertising sign to a pole from which
the Flag of the United States is
flying.
13. Do not display, use or store
the Flag in such a manner as will
permit it to be easily soiled or dam
aged.
Proper Use of Bunting.
Bunting of the national colors
should be used for covering speak
er's desk, draping over the front of a
platform and for decoration in gen.
eral. Bunting should be arranged
with the blue above, the white in
the middle and the red below.
Salute to the Flag.
During the ceremony of. hosting
or lowering the Flag or when the
Flag is passing in a parade or in a
review, all persons present should
face the Flag, stand at attention and
salute. Those present in uniform
should render the right-hand salute
When not in Uniform, men should re-
move the headdress with the right
hand and hold it at the left shoulder.
Women should salute by placing the
right hand over the heart. The sa-
lutte to the Flag in the moving col
umn is rendered at the moment the
Flag passes.
When the National Anthem is
played those present in uniform
should salute at the first note of the
anthem, retaining this position until
the last note of the anthem. When
not in uniform, men should remove
the headdress and hold it as in the
salute to the Flag. Women should
render the salute as to the Flag.
When there is no Flag displayed, all
should face toward the music.
