He asked concerning Canada's reconstruction pro- gramme, and when he was told of the Victory Loan 1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat of Arms on a fag, which is to be the prize of honour for districts achieving their quota in the loan. ' In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on Labor Day, His Royal Highness said in part:--- f "It is a great joy to me to be associated with the, loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and which is finishing off the job." "1 hope every city and district will win my flag." i Striking, and beautiful in design,, this flag will form not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a lasting and outstanding souvenir of the visit of His Royal Highness—a visit which will remain as one of the most memorable events in Canada's history. . The reproduction above shows the design of the flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper left hand corner is the Union Jack, and in the lower right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms. The flag is made in two sizes, 4 feet 6 inches by 9 feet for small cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population. ' Canada has been divided into canvas§ing districts by the Victory Loan Organization, Each city forms _ • one district. Other districts have been determined according to population. Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted ,a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell To win the. Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its allotment. That is the one and simple condition. Anticipating that many districts will buy far beyond their allotment, the organization decided that for each twenty-five per cent, excess of the quota one Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded, Thus the workers in a district doubling its quota will be the proud win- ners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These .crests will be sewn to the flag, The Prince's Crest—. ,1142 -rot • the three ostrich prunes—is shown at the top of the coat of arms. 1. To every organization with fifty or more employees, Where seventy-five per cent, of the enrollment invests a total of ten per cent. of the annual payroll in Victory Bonds, es supplementary Prince of Wales Flag in smaller form 48 inches by 34 inches—will be awarded ,•. s The allotment for each district has been carefully considered, and is based on- a conservative estimate of the purchasing power of the district. Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her share. You will gladly do your part and encourage your neighbour to do his. Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that decides whether or not your district is to be the proud possessor of the Prince's Flag, The Pri' %ceAs Motto is "1- Serve'. Will You also Serve? 11 lssncd by Cana la'a Victory Lorin Committee iu co-operation with the Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canada, 614
