UKbv IS IT PROPER TO FLY THE FLAG AT NIGHT? " For farT2So--long the- stars and stripes have been hidden away at sundown. Why let the "Old Wives Tales" of long ago deny our National Emblem the opportunity oppor-tunity to inspire America clear around the clock, morning, noon and night! Here are the neglected neglect-ed words, an important part of Public Law 829-77th Congress, pertaining to the Display and Use of the Flag of the United States of America: "... the flag may be displayed at night , upon special occasions when it is desired de-sired to produce a patriotic effect.' ef-fect.' This Editorial was Published in the Fort Dodge Messenger March 29, 1968: Farm Edition March 30, 1968. I'M A LITTLE SLOW at catching catch-ing up at times - for only re-' cently I discovered that the City Hall and the Federal Building are leaving their flags up 24 hours a day. I used to watch the one nearest me being taken down every day at sundown. But it's not being done any more -they fly in the breeze day and night. , So of course I had to find out why and learned from the General Gen-eral Services Administration office of-fice in the federal building that there were several reasons. The authoritative United States Flag Association is of the opinion that flying the flag after dark shows no disrespect - that it's just an old wives tale. The G.S.A. office in Fort Dodge which has charge of the flag at the federal building thinks that it is a patriotic gesture ges-ture to fly the flag at all times, and as a reminder to me mentioned men-tioned our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner in which we sing about "whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." Also that our American troops in Vietnam don't stop fighting at sun down, and many other reasons why the flag should be there to see, day and night. Among the first to fly the flag 24 hours a day in Fort Dodge were The FortDodge Messenger, Mes-senger, from the pole on The Messenger building, and the American Legion, at Veterans Park. The City Hall and Federal Fed-eral building followed and business bus-iness houses no longer take their flags in at sun down, all of which serve to remind us that patriotism patrio-tism has a 24 hour day, UBBA BASEBALL TOURNEY COMING The UBBA Baseball Tourney will be held August 3 through the 8th here in Orem. The Tourney includes 32 teams from central Utah and will be held at the Orem City Park. City Gen. ToB eneii Water - The Orem City General Fund Budget for 1970-71 will benefit from the transfer of nearly one-half one-half million dollars in funds from the Orem City Water and Sewer Revenue Fund Budget. This transfer was approved by the Orem City Council at its last regular meeting when the budgets for the next fiscal year were approved. The amount of $414,256 to be transferred, together with $29,552 to be retained in the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund for contingencies, represents the difference between the anticipated antici-pated revenues of the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund and the anticipated expenditures, totaling $443,808. The bulk of the revenues accruing ac-cruing to the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund is derived from a projected $375,000 in water service sales, $280,000 in sewer service sales, $40,000 in water service connections, and $19,000 in sewer service connections.
