i J * District Will Win {My Flag" When Edward, Prince of Wales--eager, bright eyed, smiling and sincere--arrived in Canada in August, and when he voiced his great admiration of the wonderful achievements of Canadians, on the fields of battle and at home, once again te were thrilled with joyous pride. y He asked concerning Canada's reconstruction pro- gramme, and when he was told of the Victory Loan 1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat cof Arms on a flag, which is to be the prize of honour for districts achieving their quota in the loan. In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on Labor De}, His Royal Highness said in part:-- "It is a great joy to me 'to be associated with the loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and which is finishing off the job." ; "I hope every city acd district will win my flag." Striking, and beautiful in design, this flag will form not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a lasting and outstanding souvenir of the visit of His Royal Highness--a visit which will remain as one of the most memorable events in Canada's history. The reprcduction zbove shows the design of the flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper left hand corner is the Union Jack, and in the lower right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms. The flag is made in two sizes, 4 feet 6 inches by Ofeet for small cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population. Canada has been divided into canvassing districts by the Victory Loan Organization. Each city forms one district. Other districts have been determined according to population. Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell. To win the Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its pliotment. That is the one and simple 'condition, each twenty-five per cent. excess of the quota one Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded. Thus the workers in a district doubling its quota will be the proud win- ners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These crests will be sewn to the flag. The Prince's Crest-- Ti, a fy oy the three ostrich plumes--is shown at the top of the coat of arms. To every crganization with fifty or more employées, where seventy-five per cent. of the enrollment invests & a total of ten per cent. of the annual payroll in Victory | Bonds, a supplementary Prince ¢f Wales Flag in | © smaller form--48 inches by 34 Inches--will be = awarded. 3 § The allotment for each district has been carchilly § considered, and is based on a conservative of the purchasing power of the district, Your district can gell its allotment and thas win You will gladly do your part and encourags neighbour to do kis. v Remember, YOUR purchase may be the onejthi decides whether or not your district is to be the p possessor of the Prince's Flag. The Prince's Motto is "I Serve" pi ill You also Serve?
