When a Catastrophe Menaces—
the World Turns to the Red Cross
Because the wearers of the Red Cross are universally
recognized as agents of mercy—the world in time of fire,
flood, famine, pestilence and war—turns to the little white
flag with the red symbol for help and hope.
The peace of our beloved land is threatened—war
with its accompanying horrors stares at us. The physical
welfare of armies after battle is wrapped up in the work
of the Red Cross.
It now most earnestly urges every man and woman
in this community to lend support —that the glorious work
may go on.
The employes of Bowman's have joined together to
offer help to the local Red Cross branch—let everybody
turn to this noble humanitarian work and at least give it a
moral support.

Fling Old Glory to the Breeze
The Stars and Stripes should not be hoisted before sunrise, nor allowed j
to remain up after sunset.
When flown at half-mast as a sign of mourning ,it should be hoisted to full ;
staff at the conclusion of the funeral.
On Memorial Day, May 30th, the flag should fly at half-mast until noon,
and at full mast from noon until sunset.
In flying the flag at half-mast, it should be hoisted first to full mast, then j
lowered to position, the distance of th ; width of the flag from the top of the |
staff. Preliminary to lowering from half-staff, it should be hoisted again to j
the top.
The flag should never be allowed to touch the ground.
When two flags are displayed the Stars and Stripes should be placed at '
the right.
When the National Flag is passing in parade and review, the spectator
should, if walking, halt; if sitting, stand, and stand at attention, uncovered.
