No, I'm net a Red Ensign boy. The Red "Ensign was a make- shift, at best. It is too confused with colonialism and the mer- chant marine and the UnionJa.ck ever to be accepted. If we MUST have a Canadian flag, which I deny violently, By the way, I think the Cana- dian Legion has had some pretty shoddy treatment from the daily press because of its espousal of the Ensign, and it's less. than-enthusiastic reception of the Prime Minister, atthe Win- nipeg convention. What's wrong with an organi- zation standing up for something it believes in? Everybody else does it, from hog producers to folk singers, But the Legion was sioner Lawrence May needed no introduction for they had gone to school together in St. Marys some years ago. After the dinner, presenta- tions and speeches, a colored film of the 1963 Scout jamboree in Greece was shown in the Parish Hall. This much prized film was made by a Tillsonburg enterprize and was awarded first prize in the 1964 Film Festival.

The men who did the dirty work In two wars were suddenly catalogued as a group of re- actipearies, or as one daily pet it, a "bunch of old soldiers,H trying to tell the rest of Canada what flag it should have. This canard was climaxed by a brutal cartoon by Duncan Macitherton in the T or onto Star, portraying the Legion- naire as .a bleary-eyed, beery- nosed old blimp, clinging to the past. Even the Star was ember, rpsed by the cartoonist's lack of taste. But this isn't a defense of the Legion. It can look after itself. It has a minority of old boozers. So does the yacht club and the curling club and the service club and the press club. Before I finish this digres- sion, let me ask a question. What's wrong with booing the Prime Minister? It may be impolite, but it's a heck of a lot better than assassinating him, and I know he'd rather be booed than defeated in office. At the same time, let me express my admiration for Mr. Pearson's courage in attacking this flag fiasco, and doing it in front of a body opposed to his views. None of his three pre- decessors had the guts to do it. But to get back to what I originally started to say, let's ?bon! 474155 cotrotpondont; Mot Ono Abbott Wanton destruction of facili- ties at the Lucan Conservation, Area may force the Ausable River Conservation Authority to remove the picnic facilities from the area. The vandalism has been termed "disgraceful" by an Authority staff member, who reported more damage has been done in the park west of Lucan than all the other picnic areas maintained by the Authority put together. The destruction has been ap- parently going on since the area was opened some three years ago. On several occasions the pic- nic tables have been dumped into the river, although the Authority took steps to guard against this by chaining the tables to trees. However,over the past week- end, the hains were cut and the tables again dumped into the river. In the past, the garbage cans have been dumped into the wash- rooms, then stacked in piles and used for shooting targets. The Authority believe the damage has been caused by a certain element of the area population, due to the fact it has happened time and again and not just occasionally. They point out the repairs have to be met in their entirety as there is no grant for equip- ment of this nature, "We just can't afford to keep replacing this equipment," they explained, noting they were thinking it may have to be removed entirely, Twp members of the Liman Boy Scouts received the highest award of the youth movement — the Queen's badge at a special ceremony, Friday.
