MACON R-1 BEGINS ARCHERY PROGRAM
Page 11A
MMU Responds to Hurricane SandyMacon Municipal Utilities (MMU) is cur-
rently providing assistance to restore electric service to First Energy Corporation customers in Cleveland, Ohio in response to massive out-ages resulting from Hurricane Sandy. As part of its membership in the Missouri Public Util-ity Alliance (MPUA) MMU received a call to be on stand-by for mutual aid assistance on Sunday, October 28, 2012, prior to the super storm’s predicted arrival on the east coast. On Monday, October 29, 2012, MMU Manager of Energy Resources Scott Lucas and Journey lineworkers Anthony Witt, Jason Carr, John Cook, and Austin Barnett traveled to Spring-fi eld, Ohio with aerial bucket trucks to be clos-er to the east coast for response when the storm arrived on land later that same day.
First Energy provides electric distribu-tion services to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Maryland. It had dispatched half of its crews to assist in New Jersey which was expected to and did receive the most damage from the storm, not anticipat-ing the depth of outages in Ohio. On October 30, 2012, 250,000 of First Energy’s 750,000 customers in Ohio were without power and 950,000 of the 1 million customers in New Jersey were without power. First Energy’s website currently indicates that there continue to be 78,943 customers without power in the Cleveland area. MMU will assist with electric distribution system restoration for an estimated period of fi ve to seven days. In addition, a re-tired First Energy employee has been assisting the crew. The weather conditions have includ-ed cool temperatures, wind, and rain from the Great Lakes. In addition to inclement weather, electricity restoration abilities have been hin-dered by traffi c congestion and an excessive number of clearance requests to headquarters in order to start jobs for the safety of all re-sponding crews in the area.

Missouri’s National Archery in the School Program (NASP) will be introduced to students in grades 4-12 at Macon R-1 this school year. The NASP started when Kentucky De-partment of Fish and Wildlife Re-sources (KDFWR) Commissioner, Tom Bennett wanted to fi nd a way to reach the youth of the state and get them outdoors. The KDFWR hosted an event to introduce the Kentucky Department of Education to the sport of archery. The Department of Edu-cation liked the event and agreed to start it in middle school PE classes.
Since the NASP began in 2002 over 10 million youth have partici-pated from more than 10,000 schools, including 47 states and 5 countries.
The Long Branch Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited, in Macon, do-nated $3800 to help pay for equip-ment. Another $1500 will be obtained through reimbursable grants from the Missouri Department of Conserva-tion. Thanks to these contributions there is no cost to the school. White-tails Unlimited’s money came from proceeds at their banquet each year in Macon. The group is very support-ive of shooting sports for local youth.
Pictured is a course given to the teachers at Macon R1 by Rob Garver, Outdoor Skills Specialist.
This local chapter has invested thou-sands of dollars so local youth can have opportunities to participate in shooting programs including local 4-H, FFA, and Boy Scouts.

Tom Herriman loaned an old newspaper ad from the Bucklin Her-ald dated February 15, 1929. Here are just a few examples of prices at Ira Herriman’s store in 1929. Advertised was 18 pounds of sugar for $1.00; blackberries only .65 cents per gallon; a man’s work shirt sold for .48 cents; men’s overalls were on sale for .89 cents and a man’s heavy sheep lined coat was offered for $4.60. While these prices seem to be the best of all bargains it must be noted a dollar was a great amount of money in 1929 and not easy to come by. Thanks Tom for sharing this glimpse of 1929.

The Christian Worship Center lo-cated at 30046 Lake St. in Macon, Mo will be hosting a stunning presenta-tion of the Christian drama “Eterni-ty”. The presentation will be held on Saturday, November 10th and Sunday, November 11th at 7:00 pm
This play will take you on a jour-ney to Heaven and Hell. You will see the joyful saints in Heaven in white robes and crowns, reunited with loved ones and praising God with harps and vials. There will be many beautiful angels, the living creatures (the lion, ox, man and eagle), the lamb taking the scroll and of course God upon His throne. Next comes the dreaded en-trance of Lucifer and the unbelievers, whereupon judgment will be given and Hell waiting. This presentation is beautifully done with a powerful ef-fect to the winning of souls.
Evangelist Aaron and Jeanette Pack have been in Christian drama for 30 years. They have traveled to pres-ent their drama revivals for 19 years. They have presented Christian drama hundreds of times using thousands of different members in their casts.
Rev. Ron Thomason, pastor of the Christian Worship Center, invites you to join in these nights of drama re-vival. The program begins at 7:00 pm and is free of charge. The Christian Worship Center is located ½ mile west on Lake Street, past Van’s Nursery on the south side of the road. For more information contact the Christian Worship Center at (660)385-5698.

Annual BBQ Pork Steak
by Jean RayAfter work G.C. Would
have a glass of tea and do some kind of farm work every night, he tended to be a workaholic most of his life. One day I thought that I would help him and I cut down a row of trees by the driveway I could hardly wait for him to come home. He had Charles Boze with him and he started laughing, telling Charles that I had cut down every shade tree in the yard. I finally real-ized the worth of shade trees, and learned a valu-able lesson that day.
Charles and his wife Jean would visit us once in a while bringing their two boys Greg and Chet with them and later added a cute little red head name Doug. The grownups would play cards, four point pitch, and the children entertained themselves. After a while we had Pepsi and popcorn which was a given every time we met. Payday Jean, Wanda Wyatt and I would go to Callao bank to put
our husbands checks in the bank only keeping out two or three dollars to last two weeks. At that time our men only worked one or two days a week so we had to watch our pennies. We did treat ourselves by stopping at the Callao sale barn, where we would buy a hamburger and split a piece of pie which was a total of fifty cents .
Minis and Mary Elam, were the owners and op-erators of the sale barn and Mary baked wonder-ful pies, making the crust with lard. There wasn’t any air conditioning at the cafe and etched in my mind is Mary, red faced and sweating, cooking hamburgers on the grill. A harder working woman would be hard to find, and I held great respect for her. Minis helped her too and would regale the cus-tomers with lots of stories which seemed like he nev-er ran out of. These warm and friendly people were highly respected in the community and it would
not be long before I would work for them.
Gene and Lavange Buster became good friends of ours which, added more pitch players to our group. Sometimes all of the group would meet and play late into the night and the children would fall asleep. Most of us took our children with us when we visited neigh-bors and they would form their own entertainment and were satisfied.
Lavange called me to ask if I would help her cook at the Callao sale barn, it was on a Sunday. We cooked fried chicken etc. and I was to bake the hot rolls. We were visiting and playing up a bit and the hot rolls burnt. Twice we did this and finally decided to serve dinner without them. Maybe the good Lord was trying to tell us something because that was the last Sunday we served dinner. I did work for the Elams after that for seventy five cents an hour and my dinner.
After a while I took over payroll taxes and all forms of bookkeeping that went along with a business, and I taught myself. I did not have an adding machine or typewriter so everything had to be handwritten and the math done on paper.
Later on Minis rented space to the National Farm-ers organization and Dean Dawson, sherrif Dawsons dad called me to run the office there. I accepted and worked there for sixteen years. Again this called for a lot of Math and I was given a simple adding ma-chine with a pull down han-dle that could only handle one transaction at a time so most of the math was done on paper again, but in a lot greater volume. I also had to load the trucks by add-ing enough hogs on paper to equal forty thousand pounds and it was essential to arrive close to that figure to keep the truckers legal. To Be Continued…

Nov. 11, 1918 The fighting in World War I ended. (The Treaty
of Versailles formally ended the war on June
28, 1919)
November 1919 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed
that Nov. 11, 1919, would be observed as
Armistice Day—a day to honor the veterans
of World War I.
Nov. 11, 1921 The first of the unknown soldiers, a veteran

On the 11th hour,of the 11th day, of the 11th monthin 1918, an armistice, or agreement
the Allied nations and Germany in World War I.
One year later, President Woodrow Wilson declared that Nov. 11, 1919 was a day to remember Americans for their military service in World War I. He called it Armistice Day. He suggested that Americans celebrate with parades and perhaps a “brief suspension of business” around 11 a.m. President Wilson also hoped it would be a time when Americans offered prayers of thanksgiving for those who had served and for peace for all times.
★ President Wilson originally intended Armistice Day to be observed one time, but many states decided to observe it every year to honor World War I veterans.
★ Congress followed the states’ lead and in 1938 declared that every November 11 would be observed as Armistice Day.
★ Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor veterans of all wars.
★ For a brief time, 1971-1974, Veterans Day was observed on the 4th Monday in October. Since 1975, Veterans Day is always observed on Nov. 11.
★ If Nov. 11 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively.
★ Nov. 11, 1921, when the first of the unknown soldiers was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, unidentified soldiers also were laid to rest at Westminster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
★ Memorial Day, the fourth Monday in May, honors American service members who died in service to their country.
★ Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, living or dead, but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
★ States designate their own holidays, so there are no official U.S. national holidays. The government can only designate holidays for federal employees and for the District of Columbia. But states almost always follow the federal lead.

THANK YOU!
LEARN Christ through His Word,LOVE Christ by obeying His commands,LIVE Christ revealed!
This weekend is the beginning of rifl e season and all the hunters will be heading in! My goal is to get everything done and out of town before noon!.After that you are stuck in the traffi c of trucks, trail-ers, ATV’s and everything else that comes with out of area hunters. Of course coming from a family of avid hunters you would think I would like the sport, but I never got it.
I love going to the cab-in and visiting. Even as a kid I can remember going to camp and playing cards and having a great time. But, I never was a hunter. My fi rst year hunting, I chased a deer over 100 yards because I didn’t think the gun would shoot that far. Yes, I got laughed at and still get reminded about it when all the camp stories come about.
The next year my dad put me in a stand and took off to his stand across the way. It was still dark and I was, and still am, scared of the dark. I knew I wasn’t going to survive the 15 minutes it took for the sun to come up, but I did. I think I sit in that stand for 5 days. I decided it was lunch time and mom packed us sandwiches so I took out my sandwich and all the sudden I noticed a couple of squirrels play-ing. Finally, something to look at! Then the birds started singing so I decid-ed to whistle back at them and fed them the crust off my sandwich. Hunting wasn’t so bad as long as there was something to entertain me.
And then it happened. Apparently my whistling got a little loud and I wasn’t being quite or still enough, next thing I know
my dad is standing at the bottom of my stand, mad-der than… “a hunter that just had their trophy buck ran off”. All I can remem-ber is fi re coming from his eyes and him telling me to get down out of my stand NOW! I guessed he was done hunting and must have been in a hurry, I knew I didn’t do anything. Actually, I believed my dad was magic after that. How he could just appear right under me without me seeing or hearing him???? Well, needless to say, after that my mom started tak-ing me shopping in Quin-cy every deer season. Now that was something I was good at!
I do wish all you hunt-ers the best of luck and will pray for your safety. As for me, I will be sit-ting in my nice cozy house watching Christmas mov-ies on the Hallmark chan-nel.
Don’t forget to honor your Veterans on Sun-day, November 11th. The Bevier School will have holding a breakfast Mon-day morning starting at 8:15am and later at 11:00 am will be the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Ma-con County court house.
Thank you to all that has served in our military. You are the backbone of our country and are great-ly appreciated! Until Next Week...
In order to understand the working of the Holy Spirit we must understand The Spirit is the third part of the God head.
1 John 5:7 Forthere are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Without understanding this, there is no way we can give the Holy Spirit his proper respect.
Gen.1 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
From the beginning of time as we know it the trinity is mentioned. Par-ticularly in Genesis 1 and in the new church in 1st.John.
God spoke to seven churches in the second and third chapters of Rev-elations. He started by saying “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says, to the seven churches”.
At the end of time the Spirit is still having his voice in the church.
John16 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Now that is exciting, a personal guide, and he has a straight line to God; he reveals to us what the Fa-ther says. When we fail to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit, we shut down all communication from the throne of God.
A question asked, “Where is the Spirit”?
John14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, be-cause it seeth him not, nei-ther knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
If you are saved he abides within. If you are unsaved he is outside asking for permission to come in. He is a friend that sticks closer than any brother.Pastor of The Worship CenterRon Thomason
By: Marjorie BaggosEvery year deer
hunting season has been a long a waited event for my family and kinfolk. We all get excited and have an agenda of things to do and pack. There are so many things to remember from deer tags to hand warmers and food. That’s why I enjoy keeping deer camp dinners simple.
Deer camp; for us, is a special place that’s cozy and sleeps eight. We warm up around a wood stove and enjoy kettles of chicken noodles, trail hash, and venison stew. Keeping a large kettle of one of those favorites allows the hunters to eat whenever they come in. All of that walking, waiting and adrenalin rushes from the hunt builds a big appetite!
The fi rst night of
camp is always full of excitement and chatter. Everyone is sharing stories of previous hunts and there’s not any deer to cook. So I like to make a big pot of chicken and noodles to dish up.
Chicken with noodles is easy to make. Just take 4 to 6 fat chicken thighs in 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Boil the chicken until it falls apart. While the chicken is boiling you can make your noodles and let them dry. You can always use a pound of store bought frozen home style egg noodles if you don’t want to make your own. Boil the chicken until it falls apart and is done. Remove the chicken and add your noodles to the rich boiling broth. When they’re done add the chicken. Be sure to remove the bones and fat fi rst. Salt to taste and
serve.Thanks to a dear
friend of mine we have trail hash. Trail hash was created one deer camp eve with what was left to cook. Simply take a pound of ground deer or beef and brown. Drain off the fat if necessary and return to the kettle. At this point we add a quart of homemade salsa. If you don’t have any you can improvise by using store bought. If you use store bought salsa you may need to add some water or broth to thin it out. Next, add 2 cans of whole kernel corn, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer. The different textures and bursting fl avors of this dish are guaranteed to please everyone.
Finally, nothing beats a thick hearty venison stew with lots of potatoes
and carrots. For this dish you will need a pound of tender chunks of venison. Take your venison and dust it with cornstarch. In a skillet add 2T of extra virgin olive oil and heat on medium. Brown the venison on all sides. In a large pot add, venison, ½ C chopped onion, ½ C chopped celery, 5 or 6 peeled quartered potatoes, some baby carrots, salt, pepper, 1 beef bouillon cube, ½ t brown bouquet, a bay leaf and 3 cups to a quart of water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender. This meal can also be made in the slow cooker.
Everyone will enjoy these simply delicious meals at deer camp or at home anytime.

MCCOLLUM AND HENDRICKS DELEGATES ATBOYS AND GIRLS STATE
1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the Tomb of the Unknowns and why?
21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or for-eign dignitary.
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why?
21 seconds for the same reason as an-swer number 1.
3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moist-ened to prevent his losing his grip on
the rifl e. 4. Does he carry
his rifl e on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why?
He carries the rifl e on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifl e to the outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
6. What are the physical traits of the guard lim-ited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5’ 10” and 6’ 2” tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30“. Other requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fi ghting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signify-ing they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.
Questions About The Tomb of the Unknown SoldierThe shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mir-ror. The fi rst six months of duty a guard cannot talk
to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent study-ing the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery . A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of
WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends fi ve hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty. ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Wash-ington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They re-spectfully declined the offer, ‘No way, Sir!’ Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been pa-trolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930. God Bless and keep them! Submitted by Jan Watts, Macon County Historical Society.

The last couple of weeks we have experi-enced a couple of really windy days. As I take my daily walk at the Masonic Cemetery so many lovely fl ower arrangements have been blown from their places.
You will fi nd fl owers and banners in Jenkins soy bean fi eld, Payne’s pasture and the BNSF rail-road right of way. Don’t think someone has taken your fl owers when you come to visit the grave of a loved one. Blame the strong wind. It is a good idea to fasten your nice arrangements a bit more securely than you think is necessary for the wind can be relentless.

The Macon County Historical Society Mu-seum holds a vast display of military items ranging from the Revolutionary war to present day.
When walking into the museum you can view a display of Women’s mili-tary uniforms, some from locals such as Loretta Yutz, Edna Scott Craw-ford, Gloria Campbell and Maxine Binder all from WWII.
Sally Watts and Jan Watts, both members of the MCHS, have worked very hard to arrange a nice display of photos and information of all mili-tary men and women in or from Macon County. From photos on display to actual artifacts from previous wars, you can fi nd so much history of the men and women that have so bravely commit-ted their lives to keeping our freedoms.
Sally Watts begin working on the military display in 2010 with what items they could come up with. Very soon, the dis-play has grown and cov-ers every era for the last 200 plus years. “There has been such a great in-terest and we will keep growing and continue to keep adding to our collec-tion”. Says Sally Watts. Ron and Sally Watts have a son, Randy, in the mili-tary so they can tell fi rst-hand what it’s like.
Jan Watts, Sally’s daughter in law, has been a great help to the mu-seum and Sally. Jan also has a son in the military

Horizon Credit Union (formerly District Two Highway Credit Union) held their Ground Breaking Ceremony on October 31st at their future location of 310 North Missouri Street. The new building is scheduled to open in Spring 2013.
GROUND BREAKING
On September 4, 2012, Warren, Jack, Lee was one of several WWII and Ko-ran Veterans to be honored on an “Honor Flight” to view Veteran memorials.
Jack said they arrived at Columbia at midnight and were served breakfast. At 2:00 am the bus left for the St. Louis air-port.
About 86 veterans were fl own to Bal-timore. “When we arrived, we heard all kinds of noise. There were around 100 to 150 people greeting us at the airport”. Jack said they walked through the crowd and were treated like VIP’s. From the airport they loaded on buses and went to Washington DC to view the monuments.
“We were greeted by everyone all day long” said Jack. I shook hands with a man from Kena, South Africa and had our picture taken. He said he never saw a WWII vet before and I told him he saw them everyday, they just didn’t have the t-shirt on”.
Jack, a former college instructor, ask to go view the Vietnam Wall. Jack had 4 students he taught that went to Vietnam and did not make it back home. Jack has carried each of their names on an index card in his front pocket for more than 26 years. Once the card gets worn, he cop-ies the information on a new one. When Jack was asked to see the cards, sure enough he pulled them right out of his front shirt pocket.
Once Jack got to the Vietnam Wall, he
Veteran’s Day is No-vember 11th, a day we honor our armed forces veterans, past and pres-ent, but what about hon-oring them everyday? Ellen Coram, resident of Macon, has found a very unique way to do just that. Two years ago, Ellen de-cided to fi ll the her wall space with photographs of family members in uniform. Before she knew what happened, her wall was full of pictures of friends of the family, then friends of friends, and photos of complete strangers (although they are no longer strangers)!
Ellen says if she hears about someone who is connected to a member of the military, she sim-ply asks them for a photo. Not everyone agrees, and only some will follow up
BY SHARON CORAMEDITORIAL ASSISTANT
BY KATHY LIEBHARTEDITOR
Local Woman Uniquely Honors Veteranson the request, but she has received photos that way. She will also fi nd photos on Facebook, has them printed and framed, and are added to the collection.
“I have always liked the military,” Ellen said, “and I just wanted to do some-thing for the servicemen. It’s not much, but I like to do it.” Ellen has about 22 photos of service men and women from Macon and other areas of Missouri. She has received a few as far away as Texas and California.
Recently Ellen was giv-en a rock from the beach at Normandy, she put it on display with her Veteran’s Wall. She is very proud of the rock and says her son teases her about having a rock on display, but she says with a grin, “Some-day the rock will be his!”
In addition, Ellen loves to go to San Diego and vis-
it the USS Midway. When doing so, she tries to visit with all of the veterans who work on the ship as visitor guides. She has nu-merous letters, autographs and written accounts from these veterans’ experienc-es in the military.
If you have an extra photo of your veteran that you would like to contrib-ute to Ellen’s Veteran’s Wall, please bring it in to The Home Press offi ce at 111 N. Rollins and we will make sure she gets it.
Local Veteran Takes Honor Flight
kneeled at each name and read a prayer he had writ-ten for each of them.When Jack was asked what his favorite part of the Honor Flight was, he said it was seeing and feeling all the respect given to them by everyone. “We were treat-ed and felt like royalty”.
Jack recalled as they were getting escorted back to Columbia, they slowed
at Kingdom City. It was dark and they heard an army of motorcycles. At that time they were told that over 300 bikes of the Patriot Guard Riders were also es-corting them to their stop.
Jack had family and friends waiting for him when he arrived. Once again ev-eryone greeting them and thanking them for their service as he walked to the car with his family.
Jack and many other heroes like him are among us every day. As Jack said, we just don’t know it because they don’t have a t-shirt on. It is so important to re-member and honor our Veterans as they were and still are willing to give all for our freedoms.

Obituaries
The meeting was held in Washington D.C. to establish procedures for display-ing the United States Flag. The code was based on Army and Navy practices. In 1942, Congress passed a joint resolution to make the Flag Code a law.
Today, we celebrate June 14 as Flag Day.
Although it is a law, there are no penal-ties and the Flag Code is a voluntary guide for showing respect to the U.S. Flag. Forty-seven states have their own laws
with penalties that prohibit desecration of the flag or its use for advertising or
publicity.
The U.S. Flag should be displayed from sunrise to sun-set, unless it is well lit during
the darkness.
The U.S. Flag should always be placed above other flags and pen-
nants. There is one exception during a special Navy ceremony at sea.
On a stage, the U.S. Flag should al-ways be placed behind the speaker and to his/her right.
When hanging the U.S. Flag vertically or horizontally from a wall or window, the canton, or union, should be at the top right of the flag. When you face the flag, it should be on your left.
On Memorial Day, the U.S. Flag is flown at half staff until noon, and then raised until sunset.
The President of the United States, governors and limited other government officials may direct the U.S. Flag to be flown at half staff.
The U.S. Flag should not be allowed to touch the ground, but if it does, you are not required to destroy it as long as it is still suitable for display.
It is acceptable to wash or dry clean a U.S. Flag to keep it in good shape.
Only all-weather U.S. Flags made of non-absorbent material should be dis-played during bad weather.
When a U.S. Flag has served its life, it should be destroyed, preferably by burn-ing. Many American Legion posts have special ceremonies on Flag Day, June 14. You may have your own ceremony to dis-creetly burn worn out flags.
Never use a U.S. Flag to cover a statue or monument or drape the flag over the hood, top, sides or back of a vehicle, train or boat.
The U.S. Flag should not be used as wearing apparel, including costumes or athletic uniforms, bedding or drapery.
Every schoolhouse should display the U.S. Flag during school days.
The U.S. Flag should never be used for advertising purposes.
Flythe horizontal length, or width of a flag.
Fly endthe part of the flag that flaps in the wind and often becomes frayed.
Finiala decorative ornament on top of a flagpole or staff.
Half Staffthe position of the flag when it is one half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff or flagpole. This is done to mourn the death of an individual.
Halyardrope or cable used to raise and lower a flag on a flagpole.
Hoistthe edge of a flag nearest the flagpole. Also refers to the vertical width of a flag.
Vexillologythe study of flags.
Cantontop inner corner of a flag. On the U.S. Flag, this is also called the “Union.”
Fieldthe section of the flag between the hoist and the fly, not including the canton.
Activities1. Look through your newspaper for pictures and stories of holidays, events and deaths where the U.S. Flag will be displayed.
2. Write an editorial giving your opinion on this topic: Should there be a Constitutional amendment making it illegal to burn our flag in protest or is burning the flag an expression that is part of our Freedom of Speech?

scholarships, is complet-ing her education with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mu-sic Education.
As a Band member, part of the honor of being featured in the half-time show was to collaborate with other seniors in writ-ing part of the drill for the band’s fi nal show. West said, “Writing the drill with my fellow seniors was both fun and a learn-ing experience. I got to see a ‘behind the scenes’ look into what goes on
planning Marching Band shows. Writing the drill for part of the show was an awesome privilege and an honor that I’ve been look-ing forward to since I was a freshman.
You may recall Joslyn playing Taps at previous Veteran’s Day programs at the school, as well as recently playing at the Memorial for Adam Olin Smith, formerly of Bevier who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan.
