The Dominion emblem so familiar to Canadians is a marine ensign authorized by the Imperial Government many years ago for use on Canada's merchant shipping No flag has ever been officially adopted by the Canadian people. Among designs submitted for a distinctive Canadian flag, one which most appenls to the sense of fitness displays the Union Jack in the upper left quarter and nine blue stars in the form of the Great Dipper and North Star on a field of white in the remaining three quarters. One star for eac i province in the form of the familiar constellation of the Northlnnd, scaled with the symbol of Empire t The antipodean dominion of New Zealand has the Southern Cross on a field of red' with the Union Jack, for her official flag. This design was adopted from several Hundred submitted by citizens. Canada too should have a flag of sr own--an emblem to emphasize her sential nationhood--of a design that ill connote her stewardship of this North Portal of the Empire.

DONTS FOR SWIMMERS The season is here when drownings most frequently take plnce. The present summer has seen a greater mortality from water accidents than for some years. It Is certain that many a fatality could be prevented if more care was exercised by those indulging in water recreation. In this connection the Royal Bank has issued in the form of blotters advice to swimmers and bathers in general. The advice given is "Learn to Swim". The following list of Dont's for swimmers and non-swimmers" is also given: "Don't bathe within two hours after j a heavy meal. "Don't go into the water deeper than your hips if you cannot swim. "Don't dive into the water of which j you don't know the depth. 'jDon't take a prolonged swim when fatigued. 'Don't bathe alone if subject to faintness, or in unfrequented places. 'Don't dive from a boa; In a high wind or strong current. You may not be able to overtake the boat. "Don't get panic if you get cramps. Swim ashore with the unaffected limb. Cramp is more painful than dangerous. "Swim down stream if in weeds. Among water lilies don't swim at all; turn on your back and paddle gently with your hands. "it in difficulties don't clutch the person who approaches you. Keep cool and do what he tells you". (minn, Edward Quinn, Charles Rose, W. W. VanBlaricomb Gr Bellamy, Roy Lawson, A. R.
