Canadian flag
deserves
a little more
respect
around these parts
The wicked winds of October and November
are upon.us
They rip through the countryside stripping
trees -of their leaves and reminding. us that
winter is coming .
They are also taking their toll across the
county.
The victims are Canadian•flags, of which
there 'are many across Huron County flying, in
tattered states
A few are merely the red remnants of one
red stripe
Many are fading away
While it's great to see more and more
Canadian flags being flown, it truly is
disgraceful to see the tattered ones still flying.
It is especially upsetting when they end up in
this shape on government buildings and there
are examples of this in more than one Huron
County location '
The flag is probably the most widely
recognized symbol of this country and needs to
be treated_with genuine respect
Whatever happened to raising and lowering
the flag each day?
There are rules about how a flag should be
flown and how it should be folded
HOW many people realize a flag should not
-be allowed to touch the ground when its being •
taken down and folded'''
There's so much we've forgotten about the
flag and so much we are no longer taught
But common sense should tell you when a
flag is ripped to shreds, it shouldn't be left to
fly
When it comes to flags, the maple leaf
doesn't last forever and needs to be replaced
once in a while
Please take a few minutes to replace your
torn and tattered flags and if you see them
flying on municipal properties, call the
municipality and remind them their flags need
to be replaced
While Canada Day may seem like a more
appropriate time to -remind- people of..tbiS,:-we.:
are also heading into Remembrance Day, it
could be seen as dust one more way to show
some respect to the soldiers who fought for our
country so that we can fly the Canadian flag

Sometimes the work isn't
worth the money being made
- Sometimes it's not worth the •
money...heing a government
employee 1 mean. -
Being called a sycophant by
Stephen Lewis i.n the - •
legislature was bad enough -
hut Hansard printed it as.
physophath...and it•was never
corrected. ' •
And there were -other hazards in the
public service...the Minister of `Tourism
-and :M.P.P. for.Leeds. Jimmy Auld,
asked me to drive from his house to
Brockville •to his uptown office to
deliver.a parcel. 1 was -a house:guest for
a couple of days in the mid '1950s. I
droye his car.' it was a. classy looking
yellow convertible. As 1 stepped fmm
the car to the curb and- the sidewalk.. a
rather tall 'man walked towards me, i do
remember the strong 'smell or hooie
Without any- warning he knneked me ro
the ground and i rolled into -the gutter:
As he- walked off 1 heard him say
something -like. "that'll teach you, you
son -of -a -hitch •Auld." No-douht a bad
case of mistaken identity. t, found nut
later he - had heen fired from the local -
Ontario Hospital for drinking on the
joh,..and•lim Auld refused ro intercede
on his behalf.

.something weird going on outside the

window. 1 look nut rhe.windows on the
other side and it's out there as welt. All
kinds of things go through my
mind,..from the fearful Bermuda

aliens taking control. of the plane. Mdst
Of the passenger; are members of a
parliamentary committee returning from
a .:onference in. Paris and appear to he
more interested. in what is availahle
from rhe har than what is Borne on out
on rhe wings. • .
There. is a hluish..almost i:uorescent
looking • hand of light that has
completely encircled the plane. It goes
from the.wing tip on my side to rhe nose
and around ro the other side. and from
that wing tip. to the tail and hack to •my
side...and it's going at exactly the same
speed'as the plane. Just as rill about ro

from Paris -o Ott.iw i' If 1 set out of
here alive 1'11 never set foot in a
plane again. "Please God." I'm

this." Then the voice over the
plane's intercom continues. •"if
-• you look out •the windows on
either side of the aircraft you
will see what is known as St. •
Elmo's Fire," it is an unusual
optical phenomenon hue not uncommon
when flying through clouds at this
altitude under certain atmospheric
conditions;' I learned later that it is a
luminous electrical charge that can he
seen. In' olden days, long before man
took to flying. St: Elmo was considered
.the patron saint of Mediterranean
sailors.
• - The trip had a hit. of a funny -ending
though. For when we arrived in Ottawa
and taxied into the air force hangar a
hoard of customs officers were .at rhe
ready They embarrassed many of the
Members Of parliament who were
returning with considerably more than
their legal allotment of foreign booze.
