6.

At those parks that are made up of separated tracts, some of which occupy prominent positions, the flag shall be displayed at each tract that is of sufficient importance to warrant it. The post flag will be used in pleasant weather and the storm flag in stormy and windy weather. Torn or dirty flags will not be used. The flag will be displayed from sunrise to sunset.

8. Visitors. One of the principal purposes for which national military parks and national monuments were established was that visitors thereto might enjoy the facilities afforded for studying the scenes of action and whatever natural beauties might exist, as well as to pay homage to the brave men who fought at these places. The superintendents and other employees shall therefore exert themselves on all occasions to place all the facilities at their command at the disposal of visitors for observation and study of everything connected with the parks and should be prepared to explain fully all details concerning the movement of troops, monuments, and other factors of the activities. Employees are required at all times and under all circumstances to be courteous to visitors. All persons who visit the parks and monuments will be shown every courtesy and consideration regardless of their standing. There are many occasions upon which the visitors are dominated by patriotic and tender sentiments. Therefore the official representatives of the Government must display tact and appreciate the sentiments of the visitors and fully cooperate with them on all occasions.

9. Maintenance of order.-a. Superintendents and employees are empowered and directed to maintain order within the national military parks and national monuments. They will require orderly conduct on the part of visitors and will take action to prevent or detect the commission of any crime or any conduct or behavior that is repulsive to the public. They are especially enjoined to enforce the following regulations: (1) Damage to property. The removal, destruction, mutilation, injuring, or defacement of any monument, statue, marker, guidepost, or other structure, or any fence, railing, inclosure, tree, shrub, or other work for ornamentation or protection, or any ruins or other relics is prohibited.

(2) Hunting or molesting of wild animals.-The national military parks and national monuments are sanctuaries for wild life of every sort, and hunting, wounding, capturing, or frightening any bird or animal, except poisonous snakes and dangerous animals when it is necessary to prevent them from destroying life or inflicting injury, is prohibited. Hunting with dog, gun, or trap or interfering with birds or their nests within the limits of any park or monument is prohibited.

(8) Dogs.-Dogs shall not be allowed within the limits of any park or monument unless accompanied by their

owners.

(9) Residence on reservation prohibited. No persons other than authorized employees shall be permitted to reside permanently or engage in any business in any park or monument except by authority of the Secretary of War. Employees shall not be permitted to engage in any occupation or private business, such as farming, gardening, merchandising, etc., except by authority of the superintendent of the park or monument in which employed. (10) Pictures.-Still and motion picture cameras may be freely used, but filming of motion pictures requiring special or artificial settings, or professional cast, will not be taken without first obtaining the permission of the officer having administrative supervision over the park or monument. Such pictures must show the park or monument and incidents connected therewith in their true light and be historically accurate.

(11) Camping.-Parties

are

prohibited from camping within any park or monument without the consent of the superintendent thereof, and then only upon such grounds as that officer may designate. Such parties will be held responsible for fires or other damages caused by them. Fires constitute one of the greatest perils to the parks and monuments. They shall not be kindled near trees, dead wood, moss, dry leaves, or other inflammable material. (12) Use for assembly.-The facilities of the parks and monuments are available for the purposes of assembly of military or patriotic organizations, and superintendents and the employees shall cooperate with such organizations. The parks and monuments will be available for purposes of assembly of purely civic activities, such as festivals, picnics, and similar assemblies, only when authorized by superintendents. Visitors are expected to be orderly, so as not to interfere with the full enjoyment of the parks by other people. (13) Other prohibited acts.-The commission of any act not specifically mentioned above which will tend to injure or destroy any park property, interfere with the carrying out of the purposes for which the park was established, or any conduct or behavior repulsive to the public is prohibited.

b. Any person who violates any of the above regulations or otherwise conducts himself in such a way as to injure or destroy property or interfere with the purposes for which the park or monument was established will be warned, and, if necessary, evicted from the grounds, or arrested and proceeded against in accordance with law according to the nature and gravity of the offense.

c. Such paragraphs of these regulations as refer to a superintendent, caretaker, or other similar employee are applicable to only such parks, monuments, or battlefield and memorial sites at which such a superintendent, caretaker, or other employee is or shall be regularly employed.

All leases of Government property within the several national military parks and national monuments shall be executed by the Secretary of War, upon recommendation of the Quartermaster General, on behalf of the United States as lessor and by the lessees. Such leases shall be executed in triplicate, one signed number to be furnished the General Accounting Office, office of the Comptroller General; one to be delivered to the lessee; and one filed in the office of the Judge Advocate General with the deeds and other title papers pertaining to the park or monument. Copies will be retained in the

office of the park or monument within which the property is situated, in the office of the officer having administrative supervision, and in the office of the Quartermaster General. Requests for lease of Government property will be submitted to the Quartermaster General with recommendation of the administrative office.

b. The sale of photographs, souvenirs, and refreshments or the taking of photographs of private monuments for commercial purposes will not be permitted without authority of the Quartermaster General.

12. Organization.-a. A guide service will be organized and maintained at each national military park and national monument where, in the opinion of the corps area commander, the number of visitors justify such service. The purpose of the guide service at national military parks is to assist visitors in visualizing the positions and movements of troops by describing the action and pointing out landmarks, features of the terrain, monuments, markers, and tablets, and thus enabling them to appreciate fully and quickly the magnitude of the struggles which took place on the battle field. At national monuments the purpose is to explain and point out features of historical interest.

b. The guide service will operate under the direction of the superintendent. Where a limited guide service is maintained, the guides will work under the immediate supervision of the superintendent or his designated assistant. Where an extensive guide service is maintained, a special supervisor of guides will be appointed by the superintendent to supervise the guide service. Records will be kept of the efficiency of the guides and of all matters pertaining to the service.

13. Appointment.-a. No person shall be permitted to offer his services or to act as a guide in any park or monument unless licensed for that purpose by the superintendent. Any person desiring to become a guide shall make application to the super
