The Conservative partys bit- ter attack on the use of closure cannot hide the fact that it was a long,overdue demonstration of determination and decision by the PrimeMinister. There is no parallel between the use of closure to bring to an end debate on the flag, and its preeiptious and unnecessary use during the pipeline debate of 1956. At that time, the Liberal gov- ernment had a comfortable ma- jority. The issue of loaning'pub- lic money to a private company for construction of a public utility and furtherance of pri- vate profit was one deserving of the widest public scrutiny. In the flag debate, everything that could be intelligently said on either side about the unfur- ling of a distinctive Canadian flag had been said, many times over. Further, the government's minority position in the House of Commons assured from the outset that the flag would not be passed without approval of members of opposition parties. It ,is at such a point . in par- liamentary debate that contin- ued opposition becomes ob- struction. As far as can be determined, the publicgenerally understood and appreciated Prime Minister Pearson's position. Even those opposed to replacement of the Red Ensign by a maple leaf flag agreed that the elected repre- sentatives of the people should have an opportunity of voting on the proposal. Closure has been used only, nine times in Canadian parlia- mentary history—six times by the Conservatives and three times by the Liberals. It is used almost every week in the British parliament. If closure is intrinsically such an evil device, it can reasonab- ly be argued that Mr. Diefen- baker, when he was Prime Min- ister, should •have abolished it. In six years, he . did nothing about it. . The final =hours .of the flag de- bate. lapsed into ludicrous burl- esque, with the Conservatives heaping scorn on the maple leaf symbol which citizens of this Guttersnipers, 37'; L uc k y' Strikes, 33; Hepcats, 32; Red- caps, 29; Martians, 28. t, Ladies, high single, ' Beryl Nicholson, 244; triple, Helen Nicholson, 581; men's high sin- gle, G.

The Conservative amendment to direct the flag committee to bring in a verdict for the Red Ensign instead of the maple leaf design—after the commit- tee had voted 10-4 in favor of the maple leaf—can only be described as sheer effrontery. Mr. Diefenbaker's closing har- angue, in which he used every oratorical device to mislead Canadians on the facts of the case, makes a sad comparison with his great speeches of his earlier opposition days. It should be recorded here that perhaps' his worse lapse into demagoguery came when he claimed that Canadians had lived and died for generations under the Red Ensign. A .re- markable feat—for a flag th' was given cabinet approval on- ly, as recently as 1945! The bitterness will take time to clear, although clear it will eventually, But now that the' maple leaf flag has received the approval of the House of Commons, it should not be surprising that such bitter and protracted de- bate was required to win its passage. It marks another of those emotional wrenches of growing up. The country can now go for- ward; a little prouder than be- fore, having lost pone of its regard for the past, but having expressed a. little more confi- dence for its future. For -Prime Minister Pearson, the end of the debate should bring a renewed measure of personal strength and leader- ship at a time when leadership is the country's greatest need. Logan Council Logan Township. council held their final meeting for 1964 with all members present. The' resignation of Wilfred Nichol- son, who had been Logan Town- ship's representative . on the Mitchell District High School Board for the past number of years, was accepted with regret, and Earl M. Oppenhau e�q was appointed for a two -ye ir term. Payments of $88;424.4 to schools, $43,963.10 to the Coun- ty of Perth, general accounts totalling $6,029:06 and road ac- counts amounting to $4,603.61, were authorized. MCKILLOP The E.U.B. Ladies' Aid field their December meeting at the home of Mrs. Elsner Koehler, Rev. and Mrs. Shatto had charge of devotionals and program. The meeting opened with all singing, "There's Within My Heart a Melody." Scripture read- ing, second chapter of St. Luke 8-16 verses, was read .by Mrs. Shatto. Rev. Shatto led in prayer, and a poem, "Receive Him," by Mrs, Shatto. The program consisted of the different bells—Chinese bells, church bells, sleigh bells, sheep hells, Bossy bells, school bells, seven bells of Christmas, and each took turns reading a poem on the different bells, In the absence of the presi- dent, vice-president Mrs. La- verne Hoegy had charge of the business. Roll .call of 12 mem- bers was responded as to some- thing they received as a child or Christmas. Mrs. Elmer oehler had a birthday and "Holy Night, Peaceful Night" was sung in her honor. Dona- tions of $25 for the Salvation Army and $25 to help the In- dians up north were approved. Mrs. Dickinson received a letter from Africa, "The Chad," thanking the group for sending bandages. Meetings from now on are to be the first Wednes- day in the month, and at the next meeting, to be at the church, each is to contribute a New Year's reading or poem, and Mrs. Laverne Hoegy to sup- ply sandwiches and Mrs. Shat - to, cookies. Rev. Shatto closed the meet- ing with prayer and lunch was served, by the hostess. tOVVVIVOMMe JOHN A.
