\ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~"PRGR TWENTY-TWO SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1948 as: a : CRE TTT NRO SR RT Tr Sh MT ---- Seek Support For New Flag 'Quebec, Dec. 11.--(CP) -- In an official "bulletin" La Ligue du Dra- peau National du Canada today sought fresh support in the fight to have the flag of its choice se- lected eventually as the official Ca- nadian flag. "Today sees the opening of a new national campaign for obtain- ing official recognition at the next session of Parliament of our flag as Canada's national flag," Lucien Debuc, Teague secretary, said. This is the flag which placed second during the 1945-46 Parlia- mentary session's deliberations to a modifid diversion of the red en- sizn which was chosen by a Com- mon's committee as the likeliest Canadian flag. The league's - flag, with green maple leaf in the centre, is divided by a green diagonal from upper left to lower right which leaves the upper triangle red, the lower tri- angle white. The Canadian flag, the league's bulletin declared, "must be free of all idea of foreign domination or protection." It added: "The red ensign, even under its modified form, still contains the Union Jack in the centre and is therefore unacceptable to true sons of the Canadian soil." Then the bulletin listed reasons in support of the league's flag: 1, It contains red and white to represent the two great races, French and English, and the green maple leaf for other ethnical. groups. 2. The maple leat is the only Canadian emblem formally recog- nized in Canada's coat of arms by official proclamation. - 3. 'The maple leaf is the emblem adopted by the state in its official documents and decorations, 4, The green diagonal, unique among national flags, provides vis- ibility from long ' distances and provides a true symbol of equality between the two main ethnical groups becaus: in heraldic langu- age it means suppression of domin- ation of one group by another." Further, regarding the green diagonal, the league considers it the best means of conveying the national motto: "A Mari Usque ad Mare." TOO HOT FOR MINK COAT Durban -- (CP) -- er can- fot be found for a £1,745 #($7,000) Canadian mink coat. It was offered for sale at auction, but was with- drawn because the auctioneer could not even get a starting bid of £100. An Indian summed it up: "Coat for cold, price too hot." --------------------------------t-- RHODESIAN TOBACCO 'The 1948 tobacco crop of Southern Rhodesia reached the unprecedent- ed quantity of 76.3 million pounds, compared with 58.9 millioin in 1946.

B., Fennell as registrar of the University of To- ronto and appointment of Joseph C. Evans as his successor was an- nounced last night by Dr. Sidney Smith U. of T. president. To many of Varsity's 50,000 liv- ing graduates, Mr, Fennell's retire- ment on January 1 will mark the end of an era. Except for service in World War I when he won the Military Cross for conspicuous gal- lantry, "A. B." has been associated with the University since shortly after the turn of the century. Born in Napanee 67 years ago, he entered Victoria College on an Edward Blake scholarship, graduating with honors in mathematics in 1906. He joined the staff of the registrars office in 1910. A resolution adopted by the Uni- versity Senate reads in part, "To the office of Registrar of the Uni- versity of Toronto are assigned many duties and responsibilities. The adequate performance of the Registrar's tasks require an adroit- ness in handling diversified and changing situations; a thorough knowledge of academic procedures; and an immediate apprehension of rights and rules established by long tradition and promulgated in the acts of legislative bodies. The Regis- trar must be alert to sense what may threaten established standards, and yet remain receptive to inno- yations. Above all, in a University whose strength grows out of its di- versity, where Faculty, College and School bodies in their own right and, at the same time, parts of a greater whole, the Registrar can and should be a powerful unifying force." The resolution says that in carry- ing out these duties Mr. Fennell "has achieved the golden mean be- tween the strict law and the richer equity; to the reading of precept and regulation he has brought the quickening spirit of common sense and human sympathy." The new registrar is one of seven children of T. W. W. Evans, Brad- ford Minister. All seven attended the University of Toronto, Two brothers are practicing as lawyers in Toronto and a third is Reeve of Bradford where he also practices law. Two other prothers, graduates in Applied Science, are engineers in Toronto. A sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, won her B.A. at Victoria in 1929. As an undergraduate, Joe Evans won a First "T" for hockey and la- crosse, He gained experience in a variety of jobs after leaving Uni- versity including ten years as a school teacher. He joined the COTC in 1939 and for three years was on active service as Captain and Adjutant of the University of Toronto Unit, Mr. Evans is married and has three children.

Condie tions in the alfalfa seed producing areas of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were favorable for good seed setting and the absence of "widespread and damaging frosts before maturity has resulted in good yields of excellent quality 'seed be- ing harvested. The latest estimate d production on a cl d seed basis at 14 ,750,000 pounds, about 37 per cent larger than the record crop of 1947. Over 90 per cent of the total crop was derived from the three Prairie provinces, with One tario and British Columbia account ing for the balance. Production in Manitoba is placed at 2,150,000 pounds, ' Saskatchewan, . 6,700,000 pounds and Alberta 4,500,000 pounds. Canada normally uses about 5,- 000,000 pounds of alfalfa seed an- nually, says H. R. Parnell, Plant Products Division, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, with the surplus usually being exported, chiefly, to the United States. One of the smallest crops of alfalfa seed in recent years was harvested in the United States in 1948. This has been responsible for American seeds- men paying good prices for hardy Canadian alfalfa seed which enjoys a high reputation on the American market. Exports of alfalfa seed in the twelve months ending June 30 last, amounted to nearly 8,000,000 pounds 0 FF A SA HR DBRS OPEN EVENINGS v and ALL DAY WEDNESDAY until CHRISTMAS for your CONVENIENCE HE FIN EST ISPLAY OF TOYS IN oe Come In And Make Your Selection ® The Lowest Possible Prices eo All BRAND NEW Stock Toyland is literally crammed with toys of every de- scription , . , the Santa Manufacturing Co. has indeed done a brilliant job for your children this year.
