That Flag Issue

There was no reference to the
flag issue in the Speech from the
Throne at Ottawa last week. Prime
Minister Pearson, however, told the
Commons on Friday, in reply to a
query from a Montreal Conservative
member, that the Government will
propose the adoption of a inctive
national flag “within two years.”
His party, he said, had made a
commitment to this effect to the
electors.

This statement was greeted with
loud applause from Liberal back-
benchers. But there was “laughter
but no reply” when another Con-
servative member asked whether
Secretary of State J.W. Pickersgill
would be given the task of choos-
ing the flag design. Mr. Pickers-
gill had said while in opposition that
certain English-speaking Canadians
would object strongly to the replace-
ment of the Union Jack and the Red
Ensign, and that the solution might
be to adopt a distinctive flag and
retain official recognition for the
Union Jack.

Whether Mr. Pickersgill is chosen
for this assignment or not, we trust
that his voice will continue to be
heard on the side of retaining the
symbol of British unity under which
Canada has grown to its present
status in the Commonwealth. Or-
ganizations like the Royal Canadian
Legion want the Red Ensign re-
tained, and their views should
¢earry weight; but if there is to be
any change at all it should be along
the lines suggested by the hon. mem-
ber for Bonavista-T willingate,
now a very important man in the
Pearson cabinet and one who, as we
have had reason to note on other
occasions, is not afraid of either
criticism or derision. We expect him
to stand by his guns on this issue,
and keep the Jack floating regard-
less of what comes or goes.

In any case, we are relieved to
note that the matter is unlikely to
be given consideration at the pres-
ent session, which has much more
pressing business on its hands than
tampering with our national flag.

Viewed With Misgiving

Considering the Soviet perform-
ance over the past five years, says
the New York Times, President Ken-
medy’s pessimism regarding the
breakdown in nuclear test-ban ne-
igotiations seems justified—as of
this moment. But that is no reason
for throwing up our hands in des-
pair. On the contrary, it is a reason
for further and more intensive ef-
forts to reach the goal.

There are, adds The Times, ele-
‘ments on both sides that oppose any
test band whatever. The Soviet mil-
itary is supposed to be pressing for
‘further tests and the Kremlin is
‘supposed to be unable to set new
‘policies pending clarification of
Premier Khrushchev‘s power status
ie settlement of the quarrel with

ist China. On Washi 8
ki, the Joint Chiefs of Staff want
(more tests to develop new defensive
tweapons. Three small tests, includ-
‘ing one above ground, are already
scheduled for this month.
| Like many other responsible
‘American newspapers, The Times
‘views these tests with grave mis-
\giving. It believes that any kind of
‘acceptable test ban involves far
‘less risk than no test ban at all, and
ithat a freezing of the existing weap-
‘ons development would be far bet-
ter than nuclear proliferation. “We
therefore consider it necessary,” it
gays, “to weight anew both the
‘fumbers and the priorities involved,

in the argument with the Russians,
in order to reach agreement if it is
humanly possible. If it is not, the re-
sponsibility for failure must un-
questionably not be that of the Un-
ited States.”

New tests will inevitably mean
further contamination of the at-
mosphere. Although there is con.
troversy over thi ue, and most
scientists do not believe the con-
tamination has yet reached danger-
ous levels, nevertheless the know-
ledge in this area is admittedly im-
perfect and it becomes still more
conjectural where future tests are
involved. And, of course, renewed
testing by the big powers will also
heighten the probability of the
spread of nuclear weapons.

A Rural Anniversary

An event that took place in Ro-
land, Manitoba, this month is of in-
terest to all concerned in the 4-H
club movement, in which Prince Ed-
ward Island is so well represented
today. It was in Roland, in 1913,
that the first forerunner of the pres-
ent 4-H clubs was formed and the
event there, on May 12, was the un-
veiling of monument commemorat-
ing the movement’s birthplace.

As noted by the Winnipeg Free
Frese, there are 4-H clubs today in
many countries of the world. Canada
alone has 5,454 clubs. Their mem-
bers are hard at work—as only
youngsters engrossed in a project
of their own undertaking can be—

at the job of fitting themselves with
the skills and the philosophy they
need for better and more useful
citizenship.

The clubs draw their name from
the pledge their members make
when they join—a pledge involving
Head, Heart, Hands and Health in
promoting the interests of the club,
the community and the country.
This pledge is more than an empty
formula, as can be attested by any-
one who has watched a young club-
ber nurture a calf, a piglet, a seed
plot or whatever, for month after
tireless month.

The movement encompasses al-
most every aspect of rural life,
from cooking and sewing for the
girls to soil anal and tractor
skills for the boys. The improve-
ment they have made, through the
skills they have learned, in farm
living and farm practices would be
impossible to compute.

“But,” as the Free Press well
says, “one thing is certain: Their
contribution to better farm living
is infinitely greater than the sum of
all the politicians’ preachments
about preserving the family farm.
The difference is that, for 50 years,
the boys and girls of the 4-H clubs
have been learning to practice what
the politicians and the ‘farm lead-
ers’ preach.”

Drastic. Regulations

According to an Ontario ex-
change, this looks like a good year
for tobacco growers. The export
market outlook has improved, and is
expected to absorb any excess to-
bacco over the usual yield. But the
industry has reached a stage in On-
tario where strong action against
illicit tobacco growing has had to
be taken by the Ontario Flue-Cur-
ed Tobacco Growers’ Marketing
Board. In their program they intend
to make full use of the teeth in re-
cent tobacco legislation and they
have the support of the Farm Pro-
ducts Marketing Board and of the
provincial government.

Tobacco growing from now on
will be a licensed procedure in On-
tario. To grow the weed at all, one
must have a board permit. The
power remains with the board to
destroy crops not legally grown.

A second action is being sought
by the growers’ board—prosecution
of persons who disposed of a free-
lance growers crop contrary to the
1962 regulations. This prosecution
is intended as a warning against any
future infractions and could be a
penalty against companies who
bought the illegally produced pro-
duct.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Where were all the flags in
Charlottetown on Victoria Day?
The occasion was duly observed at
the Federal Building, but one would
expect to find the flag flying on the
Provincial Building, the City Hall
the city schools and other public in-
stitutions as well. Or have we he-
come too sophisticated for even this
mild display of patriotism?

MILITARY INSIGNIA

Sir, Although Canadians
have rendered military service
in both peace and war under
more than a thousand varieties |
of unit badges, no comprehen-
sive history of these insignia |
has ever been published.

The writer is now attempting
to assemble material for a re-
ference book on this aspect of
Canadiana. Any assistance your
readers could give would be ap- |
preciated,

Material sought includes hel-
met, cap, collar and shoulder
badges; buttons; enamell-
ed brooches and pins; unit com:
memotative medals and troph-
ies; photos and pictures illustrat-
ing these devices; letterheads,
envelopes, programmes an
Christmas cards with unit crests
and marking: ks and artic-
Jes on unit histories; and infor-
mation concerning designs, the
reasons for selection and nick-
names and anecdotes associated
with them. Of special interest
would be information from je-
wellers and others who at one
time engaged in local manu-
facture of these items.
