The explosion was believed to have occurred in woods near the home of Lord Snowdon's sister, Viscountess De Vesci, where the royal couple are staying. It was understood the De Vesci house was not damaged and that no one was injured. The vacatioi royal couple had been driven here from Birr Castle by a secret route be- cause of the fear of trouble from Irish nationalists.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS The provinces are preparing to receive Canada's new flag in a fittingly mixed range of moods from carefully cool to welcoming warm, Once Parliament's adoption of the red and white maple leaf is confirmed formally by royal proclamation later this month, the 10 provincial governments will be faced with the questions of how, when, where or whether to adorn official flagstaffs with the new national flag. A cross-Canada survey by The Canadian Press shows the regional governments preparing a variety of answers--from Brit- ish Columbia's plan to fly four flags over the legislature to New Brunswick's decision to use only the maple leaf flag on all provincial buildings. F Years of discussion, climaxed by six months of repetitive de- bate, apparently have failed to beat all Canadians into resigna- tion or total boredom on the flag issue. Therefore, some provin- cial governments are treading carefully to avoid affronting the |nationalists who lament the de- |motion of the Union Jack and {Red Ensign or the nationalists who say it's about time Canada got its own flag. Thus British Columbia plans to hoist four flags together at the provincial legislature building in Victoria--the Union Jack, the Red Ensign, the rising-sun pro- vincial emblem and the new maple leaf flag. Neighboring Alberta's com- promise will be to continue fly- ing the Union Jack above the provincial legislature in Edmon- ton and use the new maple leaf flag at other provincial govern- ment buildings. NO DECISION YET Saskatchewan, Manitoba, On- tario, Quebec and Nova Scotia officially have made no decision on what to do about the new national flag. Quebec is expected to con- tinue flying only its blue and white fleur de lis flag, Nova Scotia both the Union Jack and its provincial flag at provincial buildings. Saskatchewan has tentative plans to adopt a provincial flag to mark its 60th anniversary this year. Manitoba, which just last year updated legislation to replace the Union Jack with the Red Ensign as the official flag for public schools, is now con- sidering the new turn of events. Ontario, which now flies the Is Advoc A regional Separate School Board committee was advocated Thursday night by Lloyd Bola- hood, retiring Oshawa Separate School Board chairman. Mr. Bolahood, who did not seek re-election last month, spoke at the new board's in- augural meeting. He said the Oshawa Board should set up a committee to form a regional committee com- posed of representatives from Ajax to Bowmanville, and as far north as Port Perry, includ- jing all the small boards in be- jtween and also the townships |which are contemplating sep- jarate school systems. apes ead HOST BOARD With Oshawa being the cen- |tral position, Mr. Bolahood said ithe city board should be the }host board. | "T feel this regional committee try. and stimulate all types of|should be started immediately churchias it will become the regional |board which will eventually do jaway with the smaller boards Solution Proposed Rivalry in the Royal Canadian Navy over the flag issue could be saved by a simple comprom- ise, Herbert A. Maynard, of Osh- awa, National President of the Naval Veterans Association said today. The solution, he said, is to retain the white ensign with the new Canadian flag in the upper right corner. "While our association voted for the Red Ensign to begin with," he said, "we now feel it is the White Ensign which should be retained on our ships." The Naval Veterans Associa- tion has 3,000 members from coast to coast. Naval ranks split over the flag question last week in Hali- fax, the navy's biggest com- mand headquarters, after the Defence Department: in Ottawa order that the White Ensign be! the Maple) pulled down when Leaf flag is proclaimed. Retired Rear-Admiral Hugh F. Pullen, charged the new flag was, "completely at variance with everything the navy stood for". This was followed on Satur- day with a statement by Rear- Admiral Michael Stirling, the Navy's, Pacific coast flag officer that the decision to replace the white ensign on ships with the new Canadian flag was a logical step. His remarks were termd "a disgraceful thing', by an- other retired officer, Commo- dore V. S. Godfrey.

He said with a regional board, everything will be handled from one central office. One central board, he added, would be made up of representatives from the different communities and areas, "This also should take place before finalization of the plans for an administration office are completed because eventually the office would probably house the regional Separate School Board of this area," said Mr. Bolahood. MUST PROJECT NEEDS He told the incoming board trustees they must now intelli- gently project. the future needs of the Oshawa separate school system for many years to come. "T feel that -our educational system should be second to none and this includes physical edu- cation as well as academic," he said. "The board should not be afraid to try new methods in teaching or building because it is a lack of initiative to change that holds our system or any system back." Mr, Bolahood said board mem- bers should not be '"'arm-chair" trustees and set policy only. "A trustee has to visit the schools and know the problems of the schools if he is going to intelligently sit around a board table and discuss the prob- lems," he said. PUBS HEALTHY COBHAM, England (CP)-- A local vicar in this Surrey community has risen to defend an English institution -- the "good" pub. Rev, O. R.

Meantime, Premier John Robarts plans to ask the legislature to approve use of a Red Ensign with the Ontario coat of arms on the fly as a provincial flag. Prince Edward Island, which adopted a banner bearing the provincial coat of arms last spring, will continue flying only the new provincial flag at gov- ernment buildings, says Pre- mier Shaw. Newfoundland, where the Un- ion Jack has remained dom- inant since the former colony joined Canada in 1949, is await- ing the return of Premier Joey Smallwood from a trip to decide what to do about the maple leaf.
