THIS WEEK AND NEXT By RAY ARGYLE © “Canadians who want a distinctive national flag had thelr long dormant hope *. thermometer last week. Prime Min- ister Pear- wark- his fiest azutver- sary in uf- + qe, dofi- nitely com- Ray Argyle snitted i's government to bringing in a@ new flag before 1967, For those who have want- a flag bdaring only Canadian symbela, the PM's announcement was a welcome gesture. But as always seems the case in Canada, what has been planned as 2 move toward unity rebounded in a chorus of disunity. This observer, for, one, - has never been able to get very excited about a dis- tinctive Canadian flag. Like most Canadians, I’m not a strong ‘nationalist and the seem to be much hope that we'd ever. have a Canadian ‘Prime Minister with the ‘gumption to produce a dis- *tinctive flag, 'so why debate astrictly academic subject? Mr. Pearson's courageous move has changed all this. We now have been clearly warned that we’re going to get a flag whether we like it or not, and if we don’t lke, it, we'd better speak upnow. . This ig exactly what nu- merous organizations are TODE, and including many influential newspapers, Canadian mayors and other legislators. The most voiced argu- ment of the opponents of a |, distinctive flag is that Cana- Gians haye fought and died ‘under ‘ithe Red Ensign: or - ‘Union Jack, that Canada is a.British nation, and: that the symbols of the Crown are dear to most Canadians and should be retained. Other more suspictous critics see this all as a sell- out to Quebec, with the pro- posed maple‘leaf on a blue and white background favored because Quebec’s colors have been blue and ' white. y Others add that a flag for Canada wouldn’t mean any- Ing anyway: because a flag,‘to have a worth more than as a mere duster, must have been fought and died for. I heard the distinguish- ed Canadian editor, Arnold Edinborough, use just this argument when he said the other day that there isn’t a flag in the world worth any- thing unless blood has been shed to unfur I it. This is virulent national- ism at its worst, and it seems to me this is the * wonderful distinction which a Canadian flag would have, It would be one arrived at by evolution, without blood- shed or riot, and it would fly peacefully over all the diverse racial elements that make up modern Canada. To do this, it is evident that Canada’s flag must in- deed be distinctively Cana- dian. To have any meaning, it must exclude any and all- symbols of our motherland, be it Britain, France or any other. country. As Mr. Pearson said it so magnanimously, let us have our own symbols ‘to bring us together, in a way. that will show no disrespect for those other symbols that mean so much to us and represent our ties with Eng- land.” i : I will accept any reason- able design : that“ is” Cana- dian, And I believe that for all the outspoken pro-British opposition, the time has come to turn our first loyal- ty to Canada. A distinctive flag, if produced in‘ time, will win the next federal election for Mr. Pearson’s Liberals. ‘YGREE INDIAN DOLLS.

Personally, I think the discordant note is caused by the rapid rotation in his grave of the bones of The Bard, a shrewd business- man, as he agonizes over all those royalties he is not collecting, Otherwise, things are going swimmingly as the erlties. and professors . of English peer and peek and poke among the magnifi- cent debris, and the inane argument about who really wrote his plays waxes once . more with futile fury.

Many a man has wished he had ‘the gift, and the nerve, that Will displayed ‘. the night he got home from the pub, tiddly and tardy, and was confronted by his *<. wife, her sister, and ‘his ‘mother-in-law. Did he say ~ “he was. sorry and’ would never do it again? Not he, He roared, “How now, you feo black and midnight age! He knew men, as witness, “ ‘Tis ever common that men are merriest when they’ are from -home,” He knew women, too. “There Was never yet a fair woman ° but she made mouths in a glass.” As this piece of research ends, I can hear a multi- tude of English . teachers saying, in unison, “For ’"-!3 relief much thanks.” Moco — By Barley "Canadian, social. worker Doris Clark invites you to write. hor about your problem.
