alice ruvc john pavnt ltt capadcs revue jei m ctilonni vera vague then thlt is surprising because it ha always seem ed that mod of those who are really very terested in the flag controversy are per sons who want a change to something new however even if the red enugn hat nfwr teemed to be widely displayed it hat had semiofficial ttatut and limited use for to many yean that perhaps it should not be surprising that a great many perion want to keep it it was in 1892 that mer chant thipt of canadian registry were uthorljed to fly a flag with the union jack in the upper quarter next to the staff with ihe badge of the canadian coat of arm in the flag on a red background in 1924 parlia ment approved the flag for use on any canadian building abroad and an order in council dated soptember 5 1945 state that it is appropriate to fly the red ensign to mark any significant canadian occasion a similar flag but with a blue background is flown by ships in the public service and by all menof war 4 in point of fact the badge of he coat f arms that is incorporated in both ihe red d blue ensigns is not a old a those flag s badge a shield displaying the arms two year term acton council at a regularly

there was business thai should have been transacted or the metmmg woum not have been scheduled n the first plait situations uch as this can be expected dunnq the vacation period we feel that when council does qei back to meeting again one item on th agenda should bt the consideration of a two year term for council member it it s necessary to hav the iubect put to a vote of the rate payars we fael this should be held at the municipal elections this year the procedure to put the question to tlie ratepayers should be started now the twoyear term would serve the ratepayers to a better degree than the present system we would revommend that the council be elected tor a stirftght two year term wtth no staggered expiry ot terms of office we can not see where a staggered system of expiry ot th terms of oftue would be any improvement over the present system under the one- year term of office count it the number of provinces increased to nine this design became cluttered and difficult of recognition and itvas changed whon the present arms of canada were proclaim in 1921 the present government apparently believes it can find a new flag design that will be universally acceptable to canadian this may be a lot essier said than done particularly if a million or more persons hold a sufficiently strong opinion about the red ensign to petition parliament for its rettntion to date no one other drsiqn seems to have more than individual support although some thing like 6 000 different designs havt lvni submitted to ottiwa since l46 and if tho qrwemment dne- come up with a new flaq
