Dave Burton sends Flag Code information: Disposal of Flag

Dave Burton writes:
As a very proud retired Air Force vet, I'd be more than happy to respond to Mr. McCammish's request on the disposal instructions of the US Flag obtained from the official US Flag Code, Section 4, Item K:
"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."
I greatly appreciate your respect and proper etiquette of our great flag!

Expert ruling in on the Mystery Sign: Cash Dept. Store

However, Mike Watson confirms evidence of Brother Jim's eagle eye picking up faintest remnants of similar sign on the other side of the buildingMike Watson writes:

Upon visual examination of the Russell Building sign, it certainly appears to say "Cash Dept Store" only. At some time - either before or after the Cash Dept Story sign - there has been another painted sign and the letters of it mesh far too completely with the CDS one.

Brother Jim's eagle eye picked up the faintest remnants of a similar sign on the other side of the front of the building. I could not make out any letters, but there has been a sign painted there at one time.

There were also painted bands, perhaps lettered signs, between the second and third floors, beneath the windows, but I can't make out any wording.

Information wanted on proper disposal of US Flag

Doug McCammish writes:
I'm hoping some of our local veterans have solved the problem of disposing of worn-out flags. As I recall, a retired US flag is supposed to be burned with ceremony and respect. Our big flags (6' x 10') become worn after about a year of the wind up on this hill and have to be retired. I'd appreciate advice on the proper disposal of them. Thanks, Doug
