An insignificant issue, ineptly introduced by an inadequate prime minister and immediately attacked by an in- credible leader of Her Ma- jesty's loyal opposition. People complain, periodical- ly, that Canada gets little or no attention in the world press. Thank goodness! If newspaper readers in other nations could peruse some of the juvenilia that has passed as debate in our Hoese of Commons on the flag issue, they would shake their heads in bewilderment, an d write us off as a nation about one jump ahead of the Congo. Personally, I don't care whe- ther ournational flag is three mangy maple leaves, or three beavers eating the left thigh of Sir John A. Macdonald, or three roosters crowing "0 Canada" from a dunghill. But I do care that my country shows none of the signs of strength, maturity and wisdom that might be ex- pected from an adult democ- racy. Another thing that has pro- There is one country in the world that I feel sorry for. It has all the outward attributes of a spoiled-rotten teenager. It is good,looking, if a little gangly. It is strong and well- made, if a little inclined to flab- biness, It has always had a big allowance because its mother and father came into a lot of property. But all the signs of the mixed- up adolescent are there: the sudden flaring resentment over nothing; the great desire to be loved and made a fuss over; the surliness when things don't gp right; the sullen apathy towards anything worthwhile; the absor- ption in material things; the flashes of decency; and the im- pulses towards vandalism. It must be dreadful to see a child you love, one who has brought sun and laughter as an infant, pride and joy through the growing years, turn into one of these creatures. It is equally sad to see a country one loves turn into a schizophrenic, whining with self-pity one moment, swagger- ing with threats the next, brag- ging with one breath, complain- ing with another. I'm talking about Canada.

Mr. Murphy was on a routine trip from Toronto to London and had reached Clarke side- road when, what was thought to be a dog, was spotted on the tracks 300 feet ahead—but it was not a dog; it was a child.
