flag.

“There ‘is no. official ‘statute con-
cerning. the .salute to’ the; flag: in
Canada as‘in some other countries.
When ‘the flag’ is raised: it’ is’ cus-
tomary, however, for. civilian males
to: stand and remove ‘their hats.
Ladies: -also . stand. -

Officially, the flag | is flown only in
daylight’ hours with the exception
of ships at sea. It: is raised.at sun-
rise. and- lowered at sunset. :
The’ national’ flag should’ always
be given the place of “honor. When
the national flag is to be flown along
with a second flag, the’ maple leaf
flag occupies the staff. onthe left,
from the viewpoint of the audience
facing the .flags,. and. the. second
flag “flies: on’ the. right-hand’ staff.

‘But: communism is not.the issue.

‘The main problems we face are

poverty, the gap between develop-
ed and’ undeveloped. countries, “the
unbalanced distribution “of wealth
and war. :

No country vin which. the’ people
are reasonably well fed and fairly
prosperous: is: faced by a serious
threat from. communism. » Despite
the propagandistic scares that are
raised from -time: to time, it is
impossible to believe that the people
of a country like’ Canada would even
consider adopting such a philosophy.
The only places in’ which \it: has
succeeded, ‘and: the only places: in
which it can even succecd are those
in which the people care: suffering
from deprivation and injustice and
abuse. :

If we were to bend our efforts. to-
ward the eradication of these :sourc-
-es. of. suffering, ‘the threat of com-
munism would: dissolve “into an-un-

done ‘through love, and not. by war!

porcupine, rabbits, beaver and deer,’
and by hurricanes and: fire. Thus a. -
complete cycle is formed: - With the _ -

America; the balance of nature was °
upset... Vast areas ‘that ihad--once
