For A Better World This is Junior Red Cross Week in Canada; and the occasion calls for a salute to the young people in this | community and across the country | who are active participants in the work of this great organization. 20,177 Prince Edward Island boys and girls are among the more than a million and a quarter youngsters who are. members of the Junior Red Cross in Canada. They are directed by a dedicated group of 40,000 teachers who serve as Red Cross volunteers and carry on a project that has been active in our schools for over 40 years. Our children are joined by more | than 65 million other young people | in the Junior Red Cross in 85 na- tions.-It-is the_world’s largest youth organization and is embraced by re: of many races, many i He 1 iF gi383* beats tH 3 ch years as Canada’s emblem, except that in the fly there will be the crest of Ontario rather than the arms = _resenting Canada’s French and Brit- ish heritage. ~ Last December he announced that he would propose a flag for the province in the style of the Red En- sign but bearing on it the entire ‘ Ontario coat of arms, Besides a shield, _ the coat of arms includes a deer to” the right, a bear on top,:a moose on the left and a motto below. Now the Premier has stripped away these _ adornments and reduced the provin- maple leaf sprig below. _ “Without conflict with the flag of “Canada,” he said, “there is an honor- d place for a provincial flag for pa Oe ee eee ee been associated with Ontario eae ee See ere ee li izor Ein ibles sha; telve eocbs td w. land and are beneficiaries of d under a flag for which a have nothing but honr an n reaction to the flag, | flag of the province e ; * i E It also typifies new~ > that could be construed as being de rogatory to the flag-whieh has replac- ed the Ensign as the national emblem.

British Columbia and Saskatchewan also have flags; Manitoba and Alberta are considering flags Ontario didn't feel it needed a pro- vincial flag while the Ensign was our national emblem. Now the situation has changed, and there is no reason why Premier Robarts and the citizens he represents shouldn't welcome his | choice as both timely and meritor- 10us. Retaining The Color In anticipation of the passing of - | the bill to repeal the margarine ban in this province, Agriculture Minis- ter MacRae is reported as planning the introduction of legislation this week which will provide regulations for the sale of the butter substitute. The regulations will cover moisture content, color and packaging. The other provinces have various regulations in this regard. Some of them permit the sale of yellow color- ed margarine, others do not. We note that in New Brunswick a bill has been | introduced to allow for coloring, but on a basis that will make. misrepre- sentation impossible and insure that butter and margarine will be sold with an acceptable color on their own merits. As explained by Agriculture Min- ister Adrien Levesque, “the tradi- tional yellow color range which has been used for butter, going back to the very beginning of the usage of butter, is being preserved, and right- ly so for this important and essential industry in the provincial economy.” The remainder of the yellow color range—between 16 degrees and above 10.5 degrees on the yellow color scale—has been allotted to mar- Doubtless equal care will be taken in any legislation we embark on in this province, to insure that full pro- tection is given our butter producers in this important matter. , ’ - Joey's Complaint Premier Smallwood has hit out | with characteristic vigor at the high — cost of Canadian schoo! books—a problem, he says, which he has been grappling with for some time but has been unable to do anything about. School books now cost the Newfound- land government more than $1 mil- lion a-year; and will increase to near- ly $2 million by 1975. The trouble, as-- Mr. Smallwood sees it, is that this business is in the hands of a few publishers “and the fancier the books they sell, the more they like it." They send round, he complains, “elegantly d ress e d per- sons, persons with the looks of lords and dukes, people like archbishops in mufti, wearing spats and corded vests and looking down their noses at their customers. They get off with their expensive order and then when it wills them, they change parts of the text, the format or the layout, and | then they have a lot of new books to- sell.” His grievance has a familiar ring, | though we haven't heard it put in such strong terms before. Surely it should be possible for the Atlantic Provinces to get together on an of- EDITORIAL*NOTES A hydro-e ic station powered by the rise and fall of the tide is to be constructed in the straits between : ; ; 8 . i : ae ee Fe MAYBE IF WE “TRIED LOOKING AT THINGs FROM “THE OTHER FELLOWS POINT oF View BAND B BIFOCALS | MORE WINDS OF CHANGE - White Supremacy Sought In Rhodesia National Geographic Society Africa's winds of change are , and cotton grow on the high! fow_ gusting through Rhodesia veld. along with some three White settlers are clamoring millon beef and dairy cattle for their own uhuru, or freedom In contrast, Rhodesia’s Airte- But Britain déclines to grant | an inhabitants still practice sub- independence to the self - gov- | sistence agriculture within the erning colony until ‘voting mghts | traditional tribal structure are broadened to include most | Rhodesia‘s 150.33 square native Africans.

Undoubtedly Gromyko, who will arrive in London Tuesday, will press for agreement on the Geneva conference in talks with Wilson and Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart. Wilson has been quietly seek- _ing some form of East-West ‘compromise and some way out of his own political dilemma. It is unlikely that he would want to yield to France the position of being the avenue of approach to Moscow. Though it is unlikely that he . would want to risk his close re- lations with Washington, the critical nature of the issue sould indicate Wilson may be well persuaded to attempt to modify President Johnson's de- termination, possibly when Wil> son visits Washington April 15.
