Instead these words were in the New York Star Tabloid, dated October 2nd, 1979. The centerfold article described the F-106 fighter jet crash into the grain elevator in Dillon. This occurred during a demonstration fly-over at the Labor Day Parade. I was there. This was my first experience of what it is like to report on a disaster story as a freelance writer. The pilot, Joel Rude, was the only casualty that day. The memory of how this could have been a major slaugh ter of innocent people lingers on today in the minds of many who stood shoulder to shoulder along that parade route. Sirens were howling, smoke billowing, people scurrying every direction to escape the falling debris and flames. It was the same scene that must have taken place in New York that horrible Tuesday on a much grander scale. The jet in Dillon, flying too low and too slow, slammed into the 100-foot grain elevator. Flaming fuel and debris rained into the streets as two giant fireballs engulfed the elevator. Had the plane crashed in the opposite direction where the crowd of continued p a g e 2 Fly Your Flag Regularly - and Correctly Important Do’s It is the universal custom to display the national flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaff's in the open, but it should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement. The U. S. flag may be displayed at night upon special occasions when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect. Display the U S. flag on all days that weather permits but especially on national and state holidays and other days that may be proclaimed by the President of the United States. On Memorial Day, the U. S. flag should be half-staffed until noon. The U. S. flag should be displayed on or near the main building of every public institu tion, during school days in or near every schoolhousc, and in or near every polling place on election days. Always hoist the U. S. flag briskly. Lower it ceremoniously. Important Don’ts Never in any way should any disrespect be shown the U. S. flag. The U. S. flag should never be dipped to any person or tiling. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are dipped as a mark of honor. The U. S. flag should never be displayed with the union down except as a signal of dire distress. The U. S. flag should never touch anything beneath it-ground, floor, water or merchandise. The U. S. flag should never be carried horizontally, but always aloft and free. Always allow the U, S. flag to fall free- never use the U. S. flag as drapery, festooned, drawn back, or up in folds. For draping platforms and decoration or general, use blue, white and red bunting. Always arrange the bunting with blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below. The U. S. flag should never be fastened, displayed, used or stored in a manner which will permit it m be easily tom, soiled or damaged in any way. Never use the U. S. flag as a covering or drape for a ceiling. Never place anything on the continued p a g e 2 Islamic Culture b y R o b e rt B le v in The Quran says “God forbids you not, with regards to those who fight you not for faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and just with them: for God loveth those who are just (Quran, 60:8).” This scripture from the Quran states how the people from the Islamic culture feel about other religions. The news states how these people from the Islamic religion, often referred to as Muslims, have started a Holy War against the United States. Growing up in southeast Idaho, there were not a lot of religions to choose from other than Christianity. When I moved into towns around the Washing ton, D.C. area, it was a real eye- opener to meet people of the Islamic faith. The first thing that caught my eye was the clothing that I saw them wearing; the women wore long dresses and scarves that covered their heads at all times, and the majority of the clothing was similar to paja mas. The biggest surprise that I received was how nice these people really are. Watching TV. we see everyone in the Middle East carrying a guy or always at war with one another. These depictions, like most in the media world, are the most extreme. A main part of the Islamic faith is peace. The Muslims are taught that war is only necessary if your part of the world is invaded. It is sad to me that a few people have to ruin an entire religion in the eyes of other contin u e d p a g e 2
