hollyhock time the good old days photo by pfhtr tyor the place en the flagpole one of the things thai disgusts us most in travelling almost anywhere in ontario is the number of tourist establishments that fly the american lag usually of course the faq is accompanied by the union jack or the canadian ensign but the effective purpose of the american flag can only be m the crass commercial in terest certainly united states and canada are friendly countries certainly americans feel pride at the sight of their flag but sure ty as canadians we are crawling to an un necessary depth m the interests of patron age when we fly an american flaq to attract the tourists attention now its quite possible that those who fly the american flag will defmd their ac tion by suggesting the flag of canada doesnt exist unfortunately this is a widely held misconception canada does have a flag the flag may not suit everyone but we are not a country without a flag an order of council dated september 5 1915 says thai on any occasion when it is desired to mark a canadian significance it is appropriate to fly the canadian red ensign this is the flag that was flown from the peace tower of the parliament buildings in ottawa on v e day 1945 in 1946 a select committee of the parlia ment of canada examined over 1500 de signs for a flag and no formal action has ever been taken thus the canadian red en sign is the countrys flag the flag of canada deserves to fly from rny flag pole in the country and those who usurp its place wtlh amancan flags except on ceremonial occasions are stooping to a new low m commercialism our american fnends set a far better example they fly their own flag skuth cars vs death dealers in the first five months of this year 520 people were killed on ontario highways this is a horrifying rale of slaughter three deaths a day 1 000 a year and the carnage is continuing despite increased patrolling police crackdowns and intensive safety campaigns traffic deaths between january and june this year were only three fewer than m the same months last year ontar io road crashes involving both mury and deah went from 35 602 in 1960 to 38414 last year what more can be done than is now be ing tried to end this slaughter one suggestion offered by the ontario police commission is that unmarked police cars be used to patrol provincial highways the proposal will undoubtedly stir up strong protests the practice admittedly isnt a very savory one but neither is there anything wholesome about the way some of our citizens behave on the highways police in unmarked cars are not victimiz ing the innocent all who are caughi are law breakers and some of them are puhl c men aces if the opp are permitted unmarked crui sers to pounce on speeders and reckless drivers the commission must ensure that the purpose is fully understood by the of ficers te reduce accidents not to fallen traf fie fine revenues commission chairman judge bruce j s macdonald gives assur ances that the only motive will be highway safety it is a question of whether to play a sporting game with the pohlc or tale steps to get results he slated speaking ol salety try this self check to see if you follow other cars too closely when driving in traffic thnk back and count the number of times someone cut m ahead of you from another lane last time you drove through the city if you drive carefully several
