I am trying to figure out "Over the Rainbow" and the bow directions go along up,down,up down, up,up down and I am having trouble following.
is that a stop then start or a return to center of the bow and restart in the same direction?

Just a suggestion. The second up bow is meant to be played with a new emphasis. Almost like a slur with a line over each note. Also up bows work great for crecsendo's. It's works out well to put you on a down bow for the first beat of the measure as well.
Try playing it as a slur and see how it feels. In the end you should always play what works best for you and the phrase.

If you hope to play in a group, like a community orchestra, then bow markings become important. If you are not trained then this can be a serious problem.
The FM music is an excellent way to develop bowing skills.
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
