Proper Use of Flag
On Fourth of July

lT HE flag OF the United States
| symbolizes that freedom, equal
ity, Justice and humanity for
L which our forefathers sacrificed
! their lives and personal fortunes.
Today that nag represents q nation
of more than 100000. 900 free people;
its Constitution and instutions; it's
achievements and aspirations.
In order that this flag may prop
erly carry it's full meaning to all the
world, and be honorsd at all times
and everywhere, a nag code was re-
Gently adopted at the national flag
conference. called by the American
Legion and attended by delegates
from sixty eight national patriotic
organizations. Not only that. but q
permanent committee was appointed
to stimulate all patriotic social. fra
ternal and educational associations
organizations and institutions to q
constant dissemination of the code
adopted SO that the flag of the United
States may be brought into greater
and more universal reverence and
respect.
There are certain fundamental
rules of heraldry which. If understood
generally, would indicate the proper
method of displaying the flag. The
matter becomes a very simple one
II 1t Is kept in mind that the national
flag represents the living country
| and Is itself considered as a living
thing. The union of the flag is the
honor point; the right arm 10 the
sword and, therefore, the point Of
danger and hence the place Of honor
The flag Of the United States has
thirteen horizontal stripes-seven red
and six white, the red and white
stripes alternating-and union
consists of white stars of five points
| on blue field placed in the upper
quarter next the staff and extending
to the lower edge Of the fourth red
stripe from the top. The number Of
stars Is the same as the number of
states In the Union. The canton or
union now contains forty-eight stars
| arranged in six horizontal and eight
vertical rows, each star with one
point upward.
X X x
THE flag should be displayed from
sunrise to sunset only or between
| such hours as designated by proper
authority on national and state hoii-
days and on historic and special oc-
| casion. The flag should always be
hoisted briskly and lowered slowly
and tremendously.
When carried in a procession with
! another flag or flags the place Of the
flag Of the United States Is on the
right, l. e. the f1aR's own ri1bt ~
| when there Is a line of other flags
! the flag of the United States may be
| in front of the center of that line.
When displayed with another flag,
\ against a wall from crossed stalfs,
the flag Of the United States should
| be on the right the flags own right,
| and its stan should be In front of the
star Of the other flag.

REPR|SAL CHARGED
TO RESERVE BOARD
Par Clearance Decision Held

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, June 3o.-New regula-
sions announced last night by the
Federal Reserve Board at Washing
ton. extending the scope OF the red
eral reserve systems par clearance
arrangements. were termed "a system
Of reprisals In the par clearance con-
troversy" in a statement issued to-
night by L. r. Adams. general secre-
tary of the Country Bankers Associa-
tion of Georgia and the National and
State Bankers Protective Association.
According to the Federal Reserve
Boards announcement federal reserve

against Part of Citizenship."
The new regulations present "a
very remarkable, If not alarming sit
uation," Mr.. Adams says in his state
ment. The Supreme Court has de-
clared, according to extracts OF deci-
sions he quotes, that the policy OF
the federal reserve banks Is governed
by the policy of the United States.
When emi-governmental agency,

Zens in order to compel those clttzens
10 bow to their Will and acquiesce In
IL system of doing business, Whicn the
Supreme Court has said Is not re-
auired by the law and Is contrary TO
the express provisions of the federal
reserve act" the statement declares.
I'VE find the government arrayed
against a portion of Its citizenship,
seeking to accomplish by reprisal that
which under the law they have no
right TO demand"
Par clearance is but an incident
to the controversy. however. the
statement added. The real issue Is
bigger and broader. 1t relates to the
purposes behind it all, and of which
the Supreme Court has said. Tor the
service rendered by the drawee bank
in so remitting funds available for
use at the place of the deposit OF the
check, it was formally common prac-
tice to make a small charge, called
exchange, and to deduct the amount
from the remittance. This charge or
the drawee bank the Federal Reserve
Board planned to eliminate and, in
so doing, to concentrate in the twelve
federal reserve banks the clearance
of checks and the accumulation or the
reserve balances used for that pur-
pose
Fears Concentration.
This purpose. If accomplished.
would concentrate in the federal re-
serve banks practically all the bank
ing reserves of the United States and
give them degree of control over
the banking resources of the United
States, which it is alarming even to
contemplate"
The present efforts offer no better
prospect of ultimate success than did
the reserve boards previous war
fare" the statement concludes.
