About 20 Attend Ist Lecture Some 20 Island business men attended a method study lec- ture at the Provincial Vocation- al Institute last evening. The lecture was delivered by Norman Lower, Fredericton. of the New Brunswick Research and Productivity Councl: These lectures have been ar- ranged through the co-operat- fon of the provincial department of education, the National Re- eearch Council and RPC, as the New Brunswick body is known. Last night was the first of » series of four lectures, the sec- ond one for people in the Char- lottetown area will be delivered ones next Monday a evenings at the PVI. A similar set of lectures: be- gins on Wednesday in Summer- side, at the Vocational High School, for residents in the west- ern sector of the Island. Method study is described as a simple technique which provid- es management with a useful tool for improving the way things are done.

The only incident occurred when John Grasscamp of Niag- ara Falls, Ont., paraded around the hill briefly with a vig Red Ensign draped in black. | SOME ‘FEEL BAD’ He did it, he said, on behalf | of the millions of Canadiana who ‘‘feel bad’ about losing the ensign. But he left the hill be- fore the outside ceremonies be- gan Opposition Leader Diefen- | baker, whose Conservative party led the battle against | adoption of a new flag, attended’ the ceremonies with Mrs. Die- |fenbaker, but had declined an invitation to speak. Mr. Diefen- baker had earlier sought the | opinion of .the party's national executive on whether he should attend. The consensus was that | he do so. | | The quiet ceremony on Par- | |liament Hill represented the end | of a fight that had given the! new banner its battle honors be- fore its official birth. Monday | was perhaps the most even- |tempered day in which the flag | has been a central issue on Par- liament Hill. Until the Commons passed the | flag resolution Dec. 15, there | had been a rousing campaign | that flared off and one for six months through 279 speeches. Many of the speeches involved the government's original flag proposal—calling for three red maple leaves on a white back- ground with blue bars at the sides — and introduced in the Commons May 27. RESOLUTION DROPPED Under heavy fire, this resolu- tion was dropped and the mat- ter referred to a 15 - member Commons committee, which was given six weeks to come in| with a recommendation.
