With Flags Unfurled
Seldom, if ever, in the history of Can-
ada has the world been treated to the
spectacle of a "family squabble" such as
that which has arisen over the choice of a
new national flag. The circulation of peti-
tions, the marching of demonstrators, the
expounding of fiery speeches and bitter
debate all have taken place before the issue
is actually placed before parliament. In-
dividuals and even organizations have taken
up verbal cudgels to bolster their choice
of a symbol.
Letters from the public appearing in
the press have attempted to show that the
veterans of the World Wars died for "the
dear old flag". We were always under the
impression we were fighting for principles
—freedom of speech—the right to worship
in our manner — and other tenets which
make up our Christian and democratic way
of life. Now some would tell us that wasn't
it, we were really fighting for a colored
piece of bunting, a flag. We mean no dis-
respect to any flag, but it only represents
our ideals, a flag isn't the ideal itself.
Canadians hare been said to have "no
image or identity". In view of what has
been going on, we seem to be developing
one—a sort of national immaturity.
Is the choice of a mere national sym-
bol — a badge of identification—worth all
the vitrolic comment? This sort of thing
should not go on in a world where millions
of children go to bed—or should we say to
sleep—hungry every night; where discrim-
ination abounds; where Christian morality
is being discarded as being old-fashioned;
where lack of education chains millions in
ignorance and superstition or economic
slavery. Let's direct our fighting enegries
into more rewarding channels such as solv-
ing and combatting the foregoing problems.
We don't need a 12 million dollar elec-
tion to choose a flag. We don't need people
to pass resolutions and sign petitions. We
have elected 265 members of parliament to
run the country, and if they choose a new
flag, it should be all right with us. We
could tell these flag wavers to hang their
heads in shame, but we'd rather have them
bow their heads in prayer—and ask for
Divine guidance in the trying days which
always lie ahead of all of us.—(New Ham-
burg Independent)
Show Appreciation
It's such a busy world ! There are
so many things to remember in order to
get on with the business of living that
people are inclined to forget to set aside
a moment to show appreciation.
In the course of a day most human
beings receive several small, kindly ac-
tions from other human beings. The feel-
ing of gratitude for them is present, but
oh, so often unexpressed !
Parents, for example, do so many little
services for their children. Unless the
children are taught to show some apprecia-
tion for them, they will take them all very
much for granted. Later in their lives,
the little services are likely to become
greater and bigger demands will be made.
And they will be taken for granted too—
through custom over the years.
The little word, "Thank -you" is not
too much to expect, either from children
to a parent or from one adult to another
for any kindness in word or deed. Yet
it is not used nearly often enough in this
busy world. It may not be adequate in
some cases, but at least, it is a beginning.
A return service or kindness can always
follow the word when the opportunity
arises.—(Nanton News)

DEAR DORIS — I have two
sweet little boys ages three and
five. They play often with a
boy about 11 who lives right
across the street. I like this
boy and never was suspicious
about him.
But one day another neigh-
bor of mine told me that this
boy molest little children sex-
ually. Believe me, I was shock-
ed and from that time on I have
made sure that my boys were
inside when he came home
from school.
I do not want to hurt his
parents' feelings but on the
other hand I am so afraid that
something might happen to my
little boys. Since you always
give such good advice, perhaps
you can tell me what to do.
Should I go to his mother and
ask her about it? Perhaps she
doesn't even know.
MOMMY
DEAR MOMMY—Right now
your little ones can't under-
stand or cope with such be-
havior. Keep them in your
own back yard.
Simply tell the offender you
want your sons playing with
boys their own age. Talking to
his mother will get nothing but
resentment, unless she is a

DEAR DORIS—My boy friend
and I went together for two
months pretty steady. Then he
went to work in another city.
He says he is saving his
money to buy a home. The way
he talks he's serious about hav-
ing
awing a wife. He seems to like
me but didn't tell me to wait
for him. On his letters he puts
"Dear One", and "Love" at the
end.
Should I do the same?

DEAR THINKING—No, not
even if he calls you "Future

DEAR DORIS—My husband
and I are going to make a trip
to Switzerland in July. My hus-
band has two sisters, a step-
mother and 10 step brothers and
step -sisters. I feel they expect
us to bring gifts from Canada,
but, as there are so many (and
children besides), I don't think I
could bring them all something.
Could I give some and not
all or just something for his
stepmother?
DEAR NOT STINGY—A fam-
ily gift is the answer—maybe

DEAR DORIS—I am a Cana-
dian who has lived in the States
for the last six years. If I get
a divorce down here, how effec-
tive will it be when I move back
to Canada?
ALWAYS A CANUCK
DEAR ALWAYS—Quite ef-
fective. There is reciprocity
between the U.S. and Canada
when it comes to divorce since
you are a U.S. resident. But,
if you were to cross the border,
set up housekeeping for a few
months in order to get a di-
vorce and then return here,
your divorce would not be
recognized in Canada.

.. get a good grip on it
. bend your knees and keep your
back straight
.. keep the load close to your body
be sure you can see past it -
