An old and honoured flag has been struck, with, no doubt, nostalgic memories and some regret. It took centuries to form, composed of banners of several countries, and over the years became a symbol of respect the world over. So it can, and must, be with our present emblem. Today, it flies as a symbol of a still young and prideful country-tomorrow and in the years to come it must earn the respect of the world. It is for all Canada's citizens to be on the alert, to take an active part in the day-to-day events which make for progress in the right direction. Tradition may be good or bad; let us ensure that the tradition of Canada's flag is built on a firm foundation. There are those who are prepared to make tremendous changes in Canada, little by little, taking away the good and putting nothing of real value in its place. We must not stand idly by. SALEM by G. A.

A Ve-y Special Queen's Scout Delmar Lafave, 18-year-old member of the 1st Ontario Hos pital Boy Scout troop at Smiths BELL LINENS By J H. Guest your telephone manager Colborne residents may be interested in hearing about a practical demonstration that raised some scientific eyebrows recently -- though I hope it never happens here! A group of professors at a major technical institute were holding a conference on "component reliability," a matter of considerable importance in these space-age days. One engineering professor fidgdted while the discussion rambled on at length in profound scientific terms. Finally he jumped up, grabbed a nearby telephone, and slammed it against the wall. As the dust settled, he asked one of his startled colleagues to pick up the phone and dial Operator. The operator answered immediately. "Now that, gentlemen," liability." he said triumphantly, "is re- AIM TO BE HEARD If folks sometimes have difficulty hearing you over the telephone it may require only a slight twist of the wrist to make your voice come in loud and clear. Seeing television performers talk or sing over microphones that may be located 18 inches from the mouth or suspended overhead out of sight may give us the impression that we can do the same with the telephone. We may carelessly talk with the telephone transmitter held anywhere from beneath the chin to above the nose. But the telephone is not a broadcasting device. It is an instrument designed for personal -- and private -- conversation. It has been engineered to operate most efficiently when you speak directly into the mouthpiece -- with your lips about an inch away. You need speak only in normal tones to be heard clearly .... if you hold the telephone directly in front of your mouth and speak into the transmitter.
