Proper respect for flag needed The recent war in the Persian Gulf brought about a renewed sense of patriotism among Americans and with it came a noticeable increase in the number of flags flying from homes and businesses. Local American Legion member Maurice Ursery provided a pamphlet produced by the American Legion entitled "Let's Be Right on Flag Etiquette." The booklet is published in an effort to increase the knowledge of the general public in the proper display and respect for the flag of the United States. The booklet contains information about the flag, including time and occasions for display, hoisting and lowering, position and manner of display, respect for flag and conduct during hoisting, lowering or passing of the flag.
According to the Flag Code it is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaff in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously. The flag should not be displayed during inclement weather, except when an all weather flag is displayed. Flags should be displayed daily on or near the main administration building of every public institution, in or near every polling place on election days and in or near every school during school days.
In a procession, the American flag should be either on the marching right or, if there is a line of other flags, it should be in front of the center of that line. The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except from a staff. The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle. No other flag should be placed above, or, if on the same level, to the right of the U.S. flag.
The flag of the United States should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs. When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the U.S. flag should hold the position of superior prominence. The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground. No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water or merchandise.
The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery.

Juror Thomas Joe Williams voiced his concern about putting the jury in a "financial bind." He suggested the jury ask the courts to allow them to phase the repair work and take care of the health and safety problems first. The jury approved Williams' motion to ask the State Bonding Commission for the loan, to ask parish engineers to repair key items first and to ask the courts for approval to do the repairs in stages. A resolution concerning the loan will be presented for adoption at the next jury meeting. The matter will be included on the State Bonding Commission's agenda at its next meeting May 16.

The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture or drawing of any nature. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
