Though the opposition party had expressed concern that this announcement should be used to curry favour with the electors at a time prior to the by-election, it was particularly necessary that it be made at the time of Mr. Frost's visit. Businessmen both in Clinton and in Goderich, as well as in other sections of the county have been making plans for the future, if net with thought of direct benefit considered, at least with regard to benefit they might (By C. J. Harris) APPARENTLY thinking he was doing Can- ada a favour, a Chicago Kiwanis Club official has proposed that the Union Jack should be banned from Kiwanis meetings and be replaced by the Red Ensign. Perhaps the Chicagoan also wanted to do a little tail-twisting on the British lion, for his resolution read in part, "Whereas the British Union Jask signifies, particularly what is left of the British Empire, namely Eng- land, Scotland, Wales, North Ireland, and a few scattered islands; whereas Kiwanis owes no al- legiance whatsoever to the British Empire." As reported in the press, the response to the proposal by Canadian Kiwanis clubs made it clear that Kiwanians north of the border think very little of the Chicagoans ideas on Canada, the flag, and the Empire. The flag resolution, which was to have been presented to the club's international convention, died still- born. The Union Jack, Canada's official flag for nearly two centuries, is not likely to be easily discarded. It has its own Canadian traditions, Its traditions of Empire, and beyond that it links us with events in history long past. As is easily CANADA'S MANUFACTURING industry employs no fewer than one-and-a quarter mil- lion Canadians. They depend for their pay cheques on the' industry being able to sell the goods they produce to Canadians, as, indirectly, du tens of thousands of workers in other in- •dus tries:. But, note this: Canadian purchase of for- eign made goods have risen enormously in the fast two or three years, and are now running at an annual rate in excess of $1,400 per Canad- ian family! Import buying on such a scale is both foolhardy and dangerous. One instance of buying foreign, products has lead !indirectly to the shutting down of a can- ning factory in this county, and with a result has. stopped a quite considerable income arriv- ing to farmers in the area. The Canadian house- wife probably never thought that by not "check- ing the label" she managed to put Canadian farmers out 'of a paying crop, and workmen out derive from the influx of people to this area which the hospital may well bring about. When doubt that the hospital might be built was once brought forward, it was then necessary for re- assurance of some measure. The coming of the premier nicely coincided with the need •for this reassurance. Actually the new hospital school will mean more employment than any other one institution or business within Huron County. It will in- crease travel through the county to the hospi- tal, and thus will be an asset to all those businesses who prosper by serving meals, ac- commodation, and al-o entertainment to the public. The increase in population brought about by the numbers of skilled and professional people will increase the work for building trades, technicians of all kinds, in the building of homes, and no doubt schools and other public buildings. This is, as the chairman of the meeting in Goderich remarked, "One of the best things ever to happen to Huron County." remembered, the Union Jack incorporates the cross of St. George of England, the cross of St. Andrew of Scotland and the cross of St. Patrick of Ireland. As is not so easily remembered, the use of these flags traces back to about 1200 A.D., to the time of the Third Crusade to the Holy Land. That is about as far back as flags go among the western nations, for before that a knight carried a penant that proclaimed his personal identity or displayed his loyalty to a particular King or a particular noble. The first flag seen here in Canada—raised by John Cabot, the Italian sea captain exploring in the service of England—was the red cross of St. George, A hundred years later ships trading between Scotland and England combined their flags to form the first Union Jack, and this was the flag that officially became Can- ada's in 1763. By and large, Canadians of today do not think of the Union Jack as England's flag. For most it is simply the Canadian flag. That it is also the Commonwealth flag, and that it has a history and traditions far beyond England's great days of empire is something added. For most Canadians it would be a flag impossible to replace. of work. The warning recently given by the president of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, is timely: "Every purchase of an import at the expense of this' 'Canadian made equivalent is a blow struck at a 'Canadian worker somewhere. Of course it never enters' the head of the un- thinking buyer that he or she is hurting a fel- low-Canadian, but obviously, a 'foreign article purchased means a comparable Canadian article left on the shelf. "Goode left on shelves don't .swell payrolls. They do the reverse. They reduce them and it's quite possible that a shrihking payroll may cauie, the loss of a job to a, neighbour, a :friend, even a relative. In fact, one could go so far as 'to say that a careless wife Who made a practice of discriminating against Canadian-made pro- ducts, all be it unconsciously, could indirectly jeopardize the job of her own husband!" A wise Canadian buys' Canadian!

She found the other day a couple of etray dogs' having a fight, or perhaps it was just a friendly wrestling match, in the middle of her choice est tulip bed. One can imagine what the bed was like after- ward, Fire visited the town about one o'clock Wednesday morning, brea- king out in the back of Charles worth's store, upstairs, which is occupied by the Peels& 'Hatchery, when about 1,200 chickens were suffocated 'by make. Mr. H. Bartlife, who was late at the res- taurant, gave the alarm. Consider- able damage resulted to the equ- ipment and also to the building by fire and water :and a hale was burnt through the roof of the News-Reoord building. No fire came through, however, and aside from a hole in 'the roof, little dam- age was done. Smoke filled the store of Plumsteel Bros, en the other side of .Charlesworth's and had there been a wind, the News- Record might be writing a dif- ferent story 'this morning.

Smiley) I think one reason men look back with a certain warped 'ten- derness on the war, and like to talk and read about it. is that it was the most peaceful period of their mature years, when they are trying to raise a family and make ends meet without going mad, mad I tell you, mad. * There's an old, and completely nonsensical tradition, that men who've come back from the wars don't want to talk about it. When someone asks them what it was like, they're supposed to go all thin-lipped and grim, and change the subject. I remember how dis- gusted I was with this business when I came home from overseas. Someone would ask: "How was it over there, anyway?" I'd settle back, prepared to tell him, for hours, when he'd add: "But I guess you don't want to talk about it," leaving me there with my mouth hanging open. I was dying to talk about it. * * * Men have been talking about war ever since Og the caveman and his cronies sat around' the fire and dis'cus'sed with grunts of re- Eels the late unpleasantness with the tribe across the swamp.
