Hints How To Keep Seat", and "Vet- eran M.P. Gives Tips to Juniors in Commons", the two Ottawa dailies last week reported a speech by Huron M.P. Elston Cardiff, in the flag debate: "Veteran MP L. Elston Car- diff treaded gently through the Commons flag debate Tuesday night, tossing off homespun 'ad: vice to fellow members on how to get along with people and stay in Parliament. " 'I would suggest to the younger members of the House —if you want to stay here don't talk too often and then they don't know how stupid you are,' he said. "The 75 -year-old Conservative from Huron said he has seen many members leave the Com- mons in his 24 years. 'Mind you, they were a lot smarter men than I and could make wonderful speeches, but when it came down to solid facts they forgot all about the people who elected them . . , "More people talked them- selves out of this House than talked themselves into it." "Mr, Cardiff said he ' was speaking for his people when he supported the Red Ensign. "A farmer who is secretary - treasurer of the. Huron Plow- man's Association, Mr. Cardiff had a special theory on the business of getting along with men. "-`There are some men you cannot get along with . un- less you give them a goodick- ing. I believe in the ,old style; I believe in cracking down on a man who won't mind his own business'," The, Hansard report of Mr. Cardiff's speech follows:.._. Mr. L. E. Cardiff (Huron): Mx. Speaker, r do not suppose there is any other member in this house or at least not very many of the members in this house, who have caused you as little bother as I have. I do not speak very often in the house. I have been here long- er than most of you, and I al- ways thought, I could learn a lot more by:Sitting in my seat and listening 'tq:ethers than }Iy. talking. I have.;: learned. all- I' know by listening to others. I did not rise very quickly a few minutes ago because I •was ex• petting perhaps we would get a speech from the other side of the house. I would be con- tent .to sit down and let any- body speak in my place. As a matter of fact, the only reason I am taking part in this debate is because of the fact I repres- ent a riding that has instructed me to speak for it. I have received a lot of mail, but T am not going to bother reading it to you. I reecived. a lot of petitions signed by hun- dreds of .people who favor the, red ensign. I am speaking to- night because I favor the red ensign and I believe at least three quarters of the people in. Canada favor the, red ensign. Why the Prime "''Minister (Mr. Pearson) insists on making us take this flag, regardless of whether or not we want it, is more than I , can understand The Prime Minister" was ap- pointed—he was not elected, he was appointed by the Gov- ernor General—to the highest. position any man in Canada can hold. As such, he is sup - RECEPTION Mr. and Mrs. Mac MacLean (nee Carol Varley) LEGION' HALL, SEAFORTH SATURDAY, SEPT. 5 Desjardine's Orchestra Ladies please bring Lunch EVERYONE WELCOME RECEPTION for Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Ile cannot run Canada with one province; he has to have sup- port from all the provinces of this country. I cannot under- stand anyone who would offer us a flag without giving us a choice. Then he said that there would not be a free vote and if we voted against the flag there would be an election. I, for one, would Welcome an election on the flag issue. How- ever, I would not welcome it in so far as the unity of the country is concerned because it would split the country wide open. I have been here for a long time. I have never quarrelled with anybody. I have been able to get along with the French, the same as I do with the Eng- lish. I have a French commun- ity in my riding. I never got one letter from those fellows, and they are fine fellows, just as good as any others in my riding. I never got one letter from the French in my riding insisting on this new flag. I have received a lot of letters from the people in my riding and with the exception of two, all those letters favor the red ensign. The two letters did not oppose the red ensign but want- ed something added to it. As I said before, I am 'a red ensign man. 'I do not want to say any- thing tonight•• that will offend anybody else. I do not think that is the way we should go about this matter. There has been enough acrimony in this debate, and I do not want to add any more. We have' been able to get along in this coun- try for year without quarrelling, so surely in this enlightened day and age we will be able to get along for the next hundred year without having any in- terruption. I was rather surprised when the leader of the separatists at the other end of this room said one ,day that. he would welcome a revolution in Quebec. • I think that was a terrible thing to say. An hon. Member: Who said that? M. Cardiff: The leader of the'Creditistes at the other end of the room. I heard 'him say it because I was in the house when ;he said it, I think that is a terrible .thing to say. When- ever there has been a revolu- tion in another country, there has been a lot of bloodshed. If that is what you want, a lot of bloodshed, well I understand a lot of blood was spilled over this carpet yesterday when I was not here. We cannot stir people up emotionally, and,this is an • emotional issue, so the best thing to do is to be care- ful of what you say. You should not stir up• somebody else who may be more emotional than you are yourself. I am'one of those whose temper can be aroused, too, but I do not like to quarrel with anybody. I like to get along with people. I think the fact I have been here for so many years is the result of my ability to get along with men, and women too, for that matter. Some hon. Members: Ex- plain. Mr: Cardiff: • I have often said that I never saw a' horse that I could. not drive. A horse is not much different from a man, and there • are -some of them • to whom you have to give a good licking in order to get along with them. There are some men you cannot get along with either, unless you give them a good licking. I believe in the old style; I believe in cracking down on a man who won't mind his own business. I believe that very oftenthe_01,4 laws we had. years and years ago are more effective than the laws, they have now. However, I do not intend to take too much of the time of the house tonight. The last speaker brought out many of the points I intended to bring out, so I do not intend to re- peat them. The hon. lady mem- ber from Northumberland (Miss Jewett) --I do not see her in the house at the moment— made a stater ientlwhen she was speaking on the 'ag issue two or three weeks ago. She said that she was appealing to fel- low M:P.'s to disregard their own personal preference for a flag, and also the feeling of their constituencies about a flag which- would " best serve Canada. I was elected a mem- ber of parliament for a certain area and I intend to speak for the people in that area. When it comes to the point where I cannot speak for them they can replace me with someone else, and that is exactly what will happen. You know, Mr. Speak- er, you can pick the best man in any community but you do not know what you have got un- til after you have got him, You do not know what his reactions will be until after he is elected a member of parliament. Some people come here think- ing they are some special cre- ation and they forget all about their constituencies, but those people do not stay here for Iong, and during my time I have seen a lot of them leave. Mind you, they were a lot smarter men then I and could make wonderful speeches, but when it came down to solid facts they forgot all about the people who elected them. They did not pay any attentlon to 144 • their mail. I have seen fellows with mail piled a foot deep on their desks and who thought all they had to do was get up in the house and make a speech, More people talked themselves out of this house than talked themselves into it, and I would suggest that if you want to stay here, don't talk too often and then they don't know how stupid ypu are. That is the reason why I have stayed here so long. When this flag issue first came up I thought the Prime Minister would at least give us a choice. I am sure hundreds of designs were submitted to him,, as they were to all of us, but in my opinion he picked the one that was the, least at- tractive. Had he gone to the Indians or Eskimos I am sure he would have found an artist among them who could have drawn a better flag than he produced, I do not understand why the Prime Minister will not accept the amendment proposed by the Leader of the Opposition. This is the best way out that I know for him, and he should let the people tell him what flag they want. I myself do not want any particular flag. If the majority of the people want another flag I will . go along with that, but I do object to having no choice ,Whatsoever and I cannot understand this attitude of the Prime 'Minister and why he has been so ill- advised. During the time the Liberals were in opposition they had two members who had, more to say than anybody else, 'and knew how to run the country, or at least they said 'so, when the Conservatives were in pow- er. Now they are in the cab- inet, and if this is the advice they have given the Prime Mini- ster, all I can Say is that it is not very good advice. I sug- gest that he take advice from some of. his backbenchers who have more sense about flagsthan he himself has. I have a daughter-in-law who is a Ukrainian. -Her family has been in this country for a gen- eration and she can speak Ukrainian. She has a family of four, the youngest being about nine, but she has never tried to teach her children to speak Ukrainian. These people were satisfied to come to Canada and live like Canadians. In fact all the different -nationalities that have come here In the last 25 years do not clamour for us to speak their languages. They are good people, fine .people, and have contributed a lot to this country, • but they do not demand that their languages be spoken,and why a minority language should be forced on the rest of Canada is more than I- can understand. • I do not think the Prime Minister can stay prime mini- ster unless he is ready and will- ing to do the things that the ten provinces want him to do. The sooner he gets that into his head the better he will get along.. If he is the statesman he should be, he will not listen to any minority group and. do the things' they want him to do. He does not have to do those things, and he does not have to be embarrassed about it either. At present he is em- barrassing his own members who are trying their best to follow him against their will, I will not disclose any names, but, some of them have told me they do not want to go along with the Prime Minister, but what else can they do when he says; "Either vote for my flag or else there will be an elec- tion"? Like a great nl'any oth- ers—they—de not want an elec- tion and I do not believe the country wants an election. Surely to goodness there is not anyy group who .would want a flag which the majority of the Canadian people would not accept?, I hope the Prime Mini- ster will take this advice from me. I have been here longer than he has. I do not pretend to know as much as he does, but surely I could not have stayed here for this length of time without being able to fig- ure.out the best thing to do. 1 have been in some pretty good fights since 1.,Came here, and 1 say to the Prime Minister That the easiest way to work this (Continued on Page 7) DANCING Every Friday Night at Bl uewater Danceland Music by DESJARDINE ORCHESTRA SPECIAL DANCE SAT, SEPT. 5th Music by Cavaliers 'TUcKERSMITH REJECTS TWO-YEAR (continued from Page 1) if he found it necessary. "Is there anything we can do to stop farmers plowing right to the read and using the road for turning grounds?" Council- lor Varley asked. He •referred to a growing practice Of farm- ers using the road for a turn- ing when plowing. Other coun- cillors agreed. a "If they tried it on the high- ways they would soon hear about it," Councillor Ervin Sil- lery said. . Councillor Varley went on to point out that he was not ob- jecting to the roadsides being worked up to a certain extent. "It's nice to see some of the roadsides tidied. It keeps them clean, but the work shouldn't be extended out to the edge of the gravel," he said. Council agreed to provide re- flector lights along a new road on the second of Tuckersmith, where wotk was carried out adjacent to the Bayfield River a year ago. Additional fill will be provided as recommended by the Department of High- ways, and Road Superintendent Houston said that a base of stone would be installed to re- sist washout. Additional grading will be carried out on the shoulders of the paved roads in the area of RCAF Station Clinton. Mr. Houston said water was col- lecting because the 'gr ss 'had grown up over the blacktop in some locations. In some sec- tions the blacktop needed seal- ing, he- said. C6iinciI was advised that the Centennial Commission had ac- knowledged receipt of propos- als to provide the tidying up of cemetery on • No. 4 Highway, south of Brucefield, at an esti- mated cost of $1,200, as a cen- tennial project and had, asked for further information regard- ing the additional project which had been proposed, that of as- sisting with anentranceway and pavilion at the Lions Club Park. Discussing the completion of the Swan Drain, Reeve Thomp- son said that there was no doubt the drain was working and referred to work which had been done to the manse at Brucefield. He said that there was 14 inches of water in the basement, and when .the drain was hooked' up to the new drain there wasno difficulty in the. water getting away. Accept Plow Tenders Council accepted the tenders of Gordon Heard and Robert Dalton for snowplowing. The Heard tender for a 1959 Adams grader with ' hydraulic operat- ed V -plow and wing was for $10.50 an hour, the same as last year. The Dalton tender pro- vided for $9.00 per hour for a plow, and was an increase of 50e an hour from last yea. In a communication from W. J. Routley, road superintendent of Usborne, council was advis- ed that the estimated cost of the Tuckersmith-Usborne boun- dary road this year would be $2,300. Tuckersmith will be re- sponsible for one-half of the cost. A bylaw providing for the establishing of tax rates for 1964 was passed. Rates of 11 mills and 13.5 mills were agreed on at the July meeting. While comments indicated there was difficulty in maintain- ing street lights in operation in Egmondville, ,council agreed that the HEPC be asked to in- stall an additional light adjac- ent to the residence of Orville Stimore. Possibility was indicated that a special meeting would be call- ed to consider outstanding drain reports. Council agreed to re- fer the Rogerson drain report to the engineer for changes on the request of Frank. Falconer. Council approved .construc- tion of a sidewalk to serve the. Lions Park. The sidewalk will be a continuation of the Sea - forth sidewalk, and will extend on the south side to the lower level of the western entrance to the park. The cost will be shared by the Department of Highways and Lions Club. Rains belay . 1 Huron Harvest Periodic rains are making the harvesting of spring grain crops difficult, according 'to D. H. Miles, agricultural representa- tive for Huron County, but ex- cept for low lying areas in some fields, white beans have not been hurt. Harvesting will be delayed at least two weeks, he said. Sun -scalding makes fields look as if they are dam- aged. Corn is making good growth and is cobbing well, and many fields are beginning to dent. Silo filling will likely be later than average. He added that hay and pasture are in 'plenti- ful supply.
