Almost every person ap- proached on the issue had cone Meet. Few allowed their re- meeks to be quoted after they had—,in some case given vent to oaths of profanity to eXpress their opinions of 'the new flag. Its acceptance Monday in the House of Commons at Ottawa by a 152-85 vote ter closure ended The Great Flag Debate which has held the headlines internitttently for months. Here's how the 20 persons answered the question: "Do you like Canada's new flag? If you like it, why do you like it; if you don't like it, why don't you like it?" Jas. Daigle JAS. DAIGLE, RCAF Sta- tion Clinton: "My impression is that it is a good thing for Can- ada so the country can show itself with other nations. May- be With the flag we can get the itepression across thet Canr ada is something, It's a geed flag beraille it represents most parts Of Canada." eMe. Daigle said his home is Montreal; his native language is French. He said it did not upset him that the fleitr-de-lis did hot appear On Canada's new flag, "It's all right just the way it is," he SW.)

As an inntigrant I don't have so much feeling for the flag., and It doesn't Mean at =oh to nie as It W'otiki to tt Canadian,' MRS. LORNE GARROW, Clinton: "I like it. I think it is good far Canada to have its own distinctive flag. We have been using England's flag for too long." Cameron Proctor CAMERON PROCTOR, Clin- ton: "I think it's terrible . . Pearson's Pitiful Pea-mane it could be called. I'm an Ensign man, of course, but I haven't heard of anyone yet who likes the new, flag." Susan Smith SUSAN SMITH, Clinton: "I like the new flag, It just seems to separate Us from the Mother country and makes us appear snore independent. I also think the new flag pretty." Sherry kozell SItOlitItt ROZEL1.4 d iatom "I like it. I just like the look of it Just the way It le MRS. BETTY WAGAR, Clin- ton: "If the Red Ensign was good enough for my grand- father to fight under and my father to fight under and good enough for my husband to fight wider, its good enough to fly on flag poles in Canada now. I don't like the new flag." Clarence Perdue CLAIWNIOZ PERibtiE, Clin- ton: "I don't like the new flag. It's too plain looking, There should have been three little green maple leaves in the 'top left corner with a beaver under- neath that and a Union Jack at the right Side This ChlilistrnkA give the greatest gift, Give ate. dive blood. Contact your Red Citss for art appOinhtent. DONNA SHOBBROOK, Clin- ton: "I like the old one--the Red Ensign. It took us through both wars and was good enough. We didn't need a new one. If they (Parliament) were going to give us a new flag then there should have been a public vote to make the choice." Herb Bridle HERO BRIDLE,- "I preferred the three-leaf6a flag which was proposed originally before the flag eommittee mes- sed it up. I like the idea of a distinctive flag for Canada, This is not politics speaking , it is my own personal Wil- lem I think they should take all the voltimes of Ilansatel that have been Written tip .on the flag debate, wrap Diefenbaker in Itheni, and binn them and hitt, A national flag should not be a eernpromfee. This tew fleg it ten:PeoltilSe," DAVE BEATTIE, Clinton: "To me the choice of the flag could matter less, but I can certainly see the point of view of some people who fought un- der the Red Ensign and wanted to keep it. It sure was a strange thing spending all that time and coming up with a flag that looks like this one." ---• • Geo. Bell- chamber GEORGE BELLCIIAMBER, 13ayfieldi "I see no reason why we should not be proud of Ottr new flag. As a Legion member I would have preferred to tee the Ensign retained es Canada's national flag, but if it is the wish of the majority of Caned- lams to have a uniquely nation., al emblem, I see no reason why We should not be proud of it," Pete barnsmd PE TE DAmS1VIA, Clinton: (Mr. Demerna has a coleted newspaper aliening Of the flag on the wall of his store, Peter's Meat Market.

The Union leek is great flag for Groat 'Brit- Ain het feir Catedsi," MRS. RON MCCANN, Clin- ton: "I'm disappointed they took 'the blue out of it. I would like to have seen something representing all -the provinces —like the United States has a star for each of .their states, because each of us is proud of our province. I don't particul- arly like this flag." Margaret Addison MARGARET ADDISOIse Clin- ten: "I don't like it at 'all be- cause it appears as though Can- Oda is breaking away from the Mother country. This Could tend to give the United States some indication that Canada is up for grabs . . possibly as its 51st state. I would not Want to See this happen."
