nosed Old blimp, clinging to the
past. Even the Star was em-
barrassed by the cartoonist's
lack of taste.
But this isn't a defense of
the Legion. It can look after
itself. It has a minority of old
boozers. So does 'the yacht club
and the curling club • and the
service club and the press club.
Before I finish this digres-
sion,. let me ask 'a question.
What's wrong with hoeing the
Prime Minister? It may be
impolite, but its a heck of a
lot better than assassinating
him, and I - know he'd rather
be booed than defeated in of-
fice.
At the same time, let one ex-
press my admiration for Mt.
Pearson's courage in attacking
this flag fiasco, and doing' it
in front of a body opposed to
his views. None of his three
predecessors had the guts to
do it.
But to get back to what I
originally started to say, let's
get everybody sore at me and

get it over with. The whole
business of flags is a medieval
hangover, with juvenile over-
tones.
Men used to rally around
flags, in the days of hand-to-
hand combat because they were
trying to find somebody else
who was on their side.
di *
War evolved (or degenerat-
ed, you like) until the
stretcher-bearer became a lot
more heroic than the standard-
bearer,
If you want a bit of gay
bunting, by all means go to it.
Hang up a rosy apple for the
Okanagan Valley, or a, lobster
for southeast Nova Scotia, or
a rampant oil well for Calgary,
and enjoy it. But a Canadian
flag is an anachronism, in the
first place. And in the second
place, the maple leaf, to me
and many another Canadian,
is just a clang nuisance that
clutters up my lawn in Octob-
er.
The only possible symbol that
would represent the whole of
Canada is a snow shovel.

Pierre Berton
Show Now On.
Local TV Station
!"It Is nonsense ,to suggest, as.
Many people do, that Canadians
are colorless and afraid to speak
At," With 'this in mind, Pierre
Berton, host of .The Plow
l3erton, "Show has sparked mew
a controversy And encouraged
countless" debates With some of
Canada's outstanding personal,
riles.
Pierre was in' London last
Thursday to meet the press of
Western Ontario and tape ihe
"Act Fast" Snow, which appear-
ed on 1QFFL,TV Sunday even-
ing.
The program, already a. re-
sounding suceess from coast to
coast has featured interviews
with many ,Canadian celebrities
and .covered topics of every
concern, from show business,
politics and medicine, to art,
music and literature.
Now viewers in London and
Western Ontario can see Pierre
Berton at his best. in the SPec-
ial evening program ',Tenor,
ama and the Pierre Berton
Show", .every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday at 6 pen,
on 'OF.PL-TV (Channel 10),
In the Weeks to come, viewers
can look forward to interviews
with world famous writers,
statesmen, artists and enter-
tainers. Using his wide back-
ground as repenter and author,
Pierre Berton will discuss .itn-
portant issues of our time with
leading 'statesmen, ..and offer us
a satirical look at some of the
more foolish aspects of our so-
ciety.
You'll meet popular stars and
hear them talk about the mean-
ing of stardom. You'll hear Mel-
vin Beni, Jadk Ruby's
et; discuss the intricacies of
criminal law. You';ll listen as
comedian Dick Gregory talks
about his experiences 'in the
American South and gives his
opinion on the civil rights prob-
leni.
You'll hear Pierre Berton
himself, expose one of the most
profitable rackets in Canada to-
day—door-to-door selling.

A SHOVEL FOR SYMBOL?
I don't know how you feel
about it; but that "distinctive"
Canadian flag with the three
spindly maple leaves on it
Makes me want to throw up.
I'd like to- see somebody ask
you to go out and fight and
die for it.
No, I'm not a Red Ensign
boy. The Red Ensign was a
makeshift, at best. It is too.
confused with colonialism and
the merchant marine and the
Union Jack ever to be accepted.
If we MUST have a Canadian
flag, which I deny violently.
By the way, I think the Roy-
al Canadian Legion has had
some pretty shoddy treatment
from the daily press because
of its espousal of the Ensign,
and it's less:than-enthusiastic
reception of 'the Prime Minister,
at the Winnipeg Convention.
What's wrong with. an or-
ganization standing up for
something it believes in? Every-
body else 'does it, from hog pro-
ducers to folk singers. But the
Legion was suddenly made the
butt of a vicious and slanted
attack in certain dailies. *
The men who did the dirty
work in two wars were sudden.
ly ' catalogued as a group of
reactionaries, or as one daily
put it, a "bunch of old soldiers"
trying to tell the test of Can-
ada what flag it should have.
This canard was climaxed by
a brutal cartoon by Duncan
MacPherson in the Toronto
Star, portraying the ' Legion-
naires as a 'bleary-eyed, beery-
