When a number of flags are displayed in a group J the national flag should be in the center and at the highest point of the group; when displayed with one other, as with crossed staffs, the national flag should be on its own right (observer's left) with its staff, over the other. When hanging with the stripes in a vertical position, as against aj wall, the union should be in the upper left hand corner; if suspended suspend-ed by a rope over the street the union is to the north over an east and west street and to the east over a north and south street. But if projected by a staff from a building the union is away from the building regardless of direction. direc-tion. . Our flag is never displayed with the union down except as a signal to indicate distress. And now for a few don'ts. Never use the flag to cover a desk or table; only the Bible may rest on the flag. Never place it on a platform plat-form below the level of the persons per-sons seated; if used on speaker's platform it should be either flat against the wall, above and behind the speaker, or displayed from a staff at the speaker's right. Never use it draped or twised into fancy shapes but display it open, full and free; use bunting for draped effects. ef-fects. Never embroider our flag on cushions, handkerchiefs and the Hke and never use a napkin bearing bear-ing such an emblem. Never wear a flag as a whole or part of a costume cos-tume and when worn as a badge it should be pinned in the left lapel or over the left breast. Contrary to the opinion of some, no disrespect is shown by washing or cleaning the flag in the privacy of the home; and when the flag is in such condition as to render it unfit for display it should not be cast carelessly away but privately destroyed, preferably by burning. To honor the passing of our flag, stand at attention. Men should remove re-move the headdress with the right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, shoul-der, the hand being over the heart. Women should place their right hand over the heart. The salute to the flag in a moving 1 column is rendered the moment the flag passes. Flag day this year also marks the 20th anniversary of its offi-j offi-j cial recognition, such observance having been decreed for the first time by President Woodrow Wilson Wil-son in 1916. And on this day no . loyal American citizen who prides himself on being such could do no better than repeat in all sincerity sin-cerity the pledge to the flag written writ-ten by Francis Bellamy in 1S92: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. o |
