Keen, leader of the West Group, was in the chair for the devotions, at the June meeting of the Seagrave U.C.W. A call to worship was followed by Hymn 488 '"'Come let us sing of a wonderful love". Mrs. Eagleson offered a prayer. Mrs. Keen then introduced Mrs. Har- ris, of Greenbank, who read Chapter 1 of the Book of Ruth, as an introduction to her talk on Ruth. Some points she stressed were: "To wrong God is to wrong ourselves"; "Na- tional prosperity and righteous- ness are not necessarily linked together"; "To leave out God is to leave out peace"; "We cannot hide from God, but we can hide in God".

For although there are the same number of young people looking for summer jobs as in previous years there are fewer vacancies, says J. W. A. Rus- sell, manager of the National Employment Service. Mr, Russell was not able to pin point the reasons for the drop in vacancies but said some of the students were being placed. "There is a continuing flow of applicants and we fit them in whenever we can," he said. Mr. Russell pointed out that the situation was continually chang- ing. There are nearly always va- cancies for men with machine shop skills, he added. During May there were fewer unemployed than in the same period last year in Oshawa. family, Mr. and Mrs. Don Wylie and family, Mac Jr. and friend Miss Paulette O'Sullivan and John, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

June 16,1964 The long-awaited flag debate was launched on Monday, June 15th. Before it commenced a point of order was raised and suggest- ed that the Resolution embody- ing two flags should be divided into two Resolutions. This first Resolution to be on Pearson's flag, and the second on the Union Jack, which provides that it may be flown on special oc- casions. The Speaker, who had a pre- pared submission, read it and ruled that unless there was an appeal to the House from his decision, it was this intention to divide the Resolution into two parts. No appeol was made and we now have two dstinct debates before us. The Prime Minister spoke first and defended his proposed flag. The Leader of the Oppo- sition followed and submitted an amendment that would have the effect of giving the Prime Min- ister an opportunity to have a roll call of the people of Can. ada on this question. The amendment provides "that the Government be auth- orized to take such steps as may be necessary to conduct a plebi- scite prior to any further action being taken by the House of Commons, in order that all Can- adians may be given their right- ful opportunity to declare their choice concerning a national flag." If this amendment carried, Parliament could tackle some of the pressing business facing it, which in the opinion of many people is far more important than the flag question, The chance that the amend- ment would carry is very remote indeed. The Prime Minister has stated on many occasions that he rejects completely the idea that the people of Canada should have the opportunity to express themselves on this im- portant matter. The mail on the flag has been increasing daily and petitions are being presented to the Gov- ernment. Most of the mail in- dicates the rejection of the pro- posed Pearson Flag and the re- tention of the Red Ensign as a distinctive Canadian flag. New models of flags are be- '| ing submitted daily and the whole matter is becoming more confusing day by day. How long the debate will con- tinue is difficult to know. Many amendments will be sub- mitted and this affords every Member of Parliament an op- portunity to speak once on each amendment. The N.D.P. have indicated their intention to propose a flag with one maple leaf. It would also seem certain that the Red Ensign will play an important role in an amendment, ---- The support for the Red En- sign is growing stronger day by day and Conservative Members are its chief supporters in the House of Commons.
