Show Page Four - The Springville Herald - July 3, 1980 Flag etiquette told There is considerable misunderstanding misun-derstanding among the general public as to the proper manner of rendering courtesy and respect to the United States Flag. On December 22, 1942, Congress approved Public Law 829, commonly knowrv,as the "Flag Law," which codifies and emphasizes existing rules of flag etiquette. These interpretations are based on provisions of this law. Here are some questions and answers. Q. Is it proper to fly the flag of the United States of America outdoors all night long? A. No, not for individuals. The U.S. flag flies night and day by specific legal authority over: 1. Ft. McHenry, Baltimore, Md.. by Presidential Proclamation of 2 July 1948 ; 2. Flag House Square, Baltimore, Md., via an Act of Congress, Public Law 319, Chapter 109, 26 March 1954; 3. U.S. Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington, Va., via Presidential Proclamation of 12 June 1961. By custom, the flag flies constantly over the East and West proticos of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. since 1918; Birthplace Bir-thplace of Francis Scott Key, Keysville, Md., and his grave site at Frederick, Md.; World War Memorial, Worcester, Mass. In addition, the Flag flies by custom, tradition or by a loose interpretation of Section 2a of Public Law 828, Chapter 806 (known as the Flag Code) at Pike's Peak, Colorado; Mount Stover, Colton, Calif.; Little Bighorn Battlefield, Montana ; Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima in the Pacific; and marking the sunken hull of the Arizona at Pearl Harbor; Plaza, Taos, New Mexico; and Cemetery (Civilian) Deadwood, South Dakota. There are many other places in the U.S. and foreign countries where the flag flies 24 hours a day, but not all have been confirmed. Although there is no requirement that a night and day display be authorized by law Section 2a of the Flag Code indicates as follows: "It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flag staffs in the open. However, the flag may be displayed at night upon special occasions oc-casions when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect." Q. What interpretation is placed on that part of Public Law 829 which reads: "The flag may be displayed at night upon special occasions when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect." A. The term, "special occasions" means athletic events, bond campaign ceremonies, patriotic pageants, parades, etc. Q. Is it proper to carry the flag with a band or other marching unit at night at an athletic event and to display the flag on a pole, with a spotlight or floodlights on it, during the event? A. Yes, it is entirely proper. As provided in section 2 (a) of the Flag Law for display of the flag on special occasions for patriotic effect. Q. When the flag is not flown from a staff, how should it be displayed? A. It should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out, or so suspended that its folds fall free as though the flag were staffed. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall or in a window, the union should be uppermost and to the left of the observer ob-server in the street. Q. What is proper respect to the flag during the ceremony of hoisting or lowering it, or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review? A. Those present in uniform should give the military salute (men and women). When not in uniform, a man should remove his hat with his right hand, hold it over his left shoulder, his hand being over his heart. A woman salutes by placing her right hand over her heart. Q. Is it proper to fly the flag during bad weather? A. In addition to the cases noted earlier, the Armed Forces have special storm flags for display in inclement weather. Q. Is there any difference in the position of honor for the flag whether on platform, in chancel, or on the floor or ground level? A. Yes. The position of the flag of the United Staes is determined by the displayer who displays it on his right ( to the observer's left) , whether he is on a platform, stage, in a chancel, or on the same level as the congregation or audience. Section 3(k) of the Public Law provides that the National flag should occupy the position of honor and be placed to the right of the speaker as he faces the congregation or audience, with any other flag being placed to the left. If the congregation or audience is displaying the flag to the speaker, the flag should be placed to the right of the congregation or audience (on the same level as the audience), with any other flag being placed to the left. Q. In advancing and retiring colors, how should the flag of the United States and other flags or banners be crossed at the front of the room? A. At no time should any flag or banner pass in front of the flag of the United States. "Front" meaning nearest or next to the audience. Flog Boys Q When should the flag be displayed? A The flag may be displayed on all days when the weather permits. Specific days, however, on which display of the flag may be most generally expecieu aic.

Those seniors attending the centers in each town, know that the same people are preparing the meals as always just a different location and a different sponsor. But the home bound who do not get out and who are ill have time to worry about their situation. It is about time these seniors were reassured that the programs for the seniors are even better than ever with Mountainlands sponsoring and monitoring them together to provide more services to more seniors without duplication of travel, time, hours, etc. ARA is a world-wide food service and they' have many sources and many specialists to draw on. If they cannot provide more nutrition and better leadership for less expense ex-pense no one can! If you have any questions about ARA or the security of the senior's programs, I would invite you to come and visit. Plan to arise at 4 a.m. and be at the kitchen by at least 5 a.m., and you will see Maria Moore, our nutritionist, in her smock,, hair net and running shoes all over the kitchen monitoring every single item of food, portion and quality and nutrition control and balance! Now she will visit a center or go on a mobile meal route and be back to plan food production for the next day! Back to the kitchen where the meals are ready to go out to the 900-1300 900-1300 seniors, you can ride along with the drivers who are mostly seniors over sixty or nearer to seventy! They will jump in and out of their van no less than forty times each day carrying heavy pans to the centers down stairs and long halls careful not to upset a single piece of bread! Merrit Floyd and Walt and Dora Chappel are the drivers for the Spjingville - Mapleton area. All three of them really look out for their seniors just as if they were their own parents spoiling them, and confiding con-fiding in them and pampering them with flowers or other gifts or cards! Meanwhile, while you still have on your running shoes you may want to visit a shut-in with an outreach. Again, you have to be very quick because the outreach ladies slip in "little" extra things like the "special" people that they are! Of course, you know that the outreach day starts at the crack of dawn when the seniors first awake and call to tell the outreach all their problems or what has been worrying them all night! Viva Bird is your outreach in the Springville - Mapleton area and as all of you know, your seniors are in good hands! A.I. Tippets and his lovely wife are the most active seniors over eighty and whether it is calling on a homebound, fixing a leaking tap or serving the meal A.I. has it all under control! Springville seniors will never have a more dedicated director than A.I. Tippetts! Odessa Nielson keeps the kitchen running smoothly with enough food and enough volunteers to take care of everyone! Owen Black is the director, o,the SQS JKit-chen JKit-chen and cafeteria and Food Service for ARA. Owen went to school in Orem where his parents Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Black still reside. Owen and his wife, Lynda and three daughters are active in the Springville community where they have their home. Owen has made many improvements in the two years that he has been running the Food Service and everyone loves him. He takes the time and has the interest of each employee so that each individual can develop personally and each meal and each job gets done the very best possible way that it can be done!
