Meaning Of The Flag Folding Ceremony
The flag folding ceremony stands for the same religious principles on which our country was founded.
The portion of the flag denoting honor is the canton of blue containing the stars representing states our vet-
erans served in uniform. The canton field of blue dress from left to right and is inverted only when draped as a
pall on the casket of a veteran who has served our country honorably in uniform.
Armed Forces in the United States: The flag is lowered, folded in a triangle and kept under watch during the
night as tribute to our nation’s honored dead. The next morning it is brought out and at the ceremony of reveille,
run aloft as a symbol of our belief in the resurrection of the body.
The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life.
The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of
life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature. For as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn
in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance.
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decauter, “Our country, in dealing with
other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our hearts that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liber-
ty and justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through them that we protect our country and our
flag against all enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see
the light of day, and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion the
character of the men and women who have made this country great is molded.
The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our coun-
try since he or she was first born.
The 11th fold, in the eyes of the Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and
King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In God We
Trust.”

First United Methodist Church Comer
No Place To Go
A fellow died. Two friends
walked by his casket. One of them
snickered. “Why?” asked the other.
“Pat didn’t believe in heaven or
hell,” he answered. “There he is all
dressed up and no place to go.”
But I have a place to go — heav-
en. There, no pain will be upon any-
body, no burden upon any back, no
grave upon any hillside, no sin upon
any soul, no want upon any heart,
no worry upon any mind, and no
tear upon any face.
The Lord said, “I am the way.”
Take him and make heaven your
home.
Prayer: We thank Thee, Father,
that Thou art our hope and help. As
we now yield ourselves to Thee,
lead us to live an obedient life: in
Christ. Amen,

At
The
Lake
In the blue hills of north Newton
County, just a stone’s throw from
Toledo Bend Lake, lies an 18,000-
acre tract of pine and hardwood
timberland. Laced with creeks and
featuring ridges, valleys, hills and
canyons, the land harbors white-tail
deer, wild turkeys, and wild hogs.
More than 25 miles of roads run
through the tract, and the sportsmen
who join Blue Hills Hunting Club
have year-round access to enjoy the
property.
Membership in the lease is
offered on a family basis only. A
husband, wife and all children, 18
years old and under, living at home
and going to school, can be mem-
bers for a total amount of $805 a
year. Children 17 years of age and
under must be accompanied by an
adult member and must have the
immediate supervision of a parent
or guardian in the same stand when
they hunt.
Campsites are free provided that
they are removed by Jan. 31st. A
permanent year-round camp
requires a fee of $150, charged by
the landowner, International Paper
Co.
All vehicles used on the lease,
included ATV’s, must have a club
sticker attached where it can be
readily seen. Also, members must
carry their membership cards when
on the lease. Lease wardens patrol
the lease and will ask for identifica-
tion.
Hunting Club limits for a family
membership comply with those
allowed by Texas Parks and
Wildlife for Newton County. A
family limit is four bucks (four
points or better) and two mature
does.
Each family membership entitles
the family to set up two deer stands.
Each stand must have four signs
identifying it with name, lease
number, date, number of yards to
stand, stand number, and an arrow
showing direction to stand.
Stands must be placed at least
100 yards off the road and at least
300 yards from any other stands,
and they must be erected prior to
opening of bow season.
Feeders must be identified with
the hunter’s name.
No shooting on any road is
allowed in the Blue Hills Hunting
Club, and target practice is limited
to the firing range. The firing range
is open year-round, except from
October through the end of deer
season. Hunters are asked not to
use glass targets and to pick up all
their trash before they leave,
including spent shells.
Hunting is not permitted from
vehicles. Sighting in of firearms is
not allowed on the lease during
hunting season.

Notes from the Journals of Judge Charley A. Woods and Hoy A.
Woods:
Tuesday, Nov. 29,1927—Newton in forenoon, consulted with J. S.
Peters and members of Equalization Board for Newton Independent
School District relative to raises in Houston Oil Co., et al. valuation.
Wednesday, Nov. 30,1927—Gladys Woods (granddaughter of the
Judge) went to Kirbyville. She worked on coloring maps of Newton
County. (Now days, computers draw the maps and color them).
Thursday, Dec. 1, 1927—Weather cold and rainey. Still no heat for
office. Gladys remained at Newton because it was too cold in office.
Friday, Dec. 2,1927—Remained at Newton to assist in School tax
matter. Mr. Merrem (president of company) and Mr. Seaman came from
Houston. (When Mr. Merrem came up from Houston, my sister, Fay and
I) were instructed not to go up to the office. This was because we had
gone up to the office one time and Mr. Merrem came up and my sister,
Fay, asked Hoy A. (our daddy) for the keys to the company car, which
we were not ever supposed to drive. Reminds me of another story: Mr.
Jessie Lee, Houston lawyer and former Newtonite, was not known for
his good looks. My sister and I went up to the office, and Fay asked our
daddy, “is this Mr. Jessie Lee? Must be cause he is so ugly!” This doeslt
mean that I never got into trouble. My sister, Fay, was older than I was
and protected me a lot.
