Schultz Con- crete Pipe Limited, Toronto, also bid $3806.88. (A Kitchener firm was $24 higher.)

"We made them retender and got lower prices," he said. Two weeks ago, council got identical bids on corrugated pipe from four firms.

Have Power To Increase Committee Organizations which will not be represented at tonight's first centennial committee meeting may have their representatives at the next meeting, Mayor Ly- man Gifford told Oshawa City Council Tuesday night. "There were some we hated to leave off," said the mayor last night. He said he accepted all responsibility. Letters went out to a dozen city organizations a few weeks ago over the signature of Act- ing Mayor Hayward Murdoch, "There have been rumblings of discontent," said the mayor as he reminded that the commit- tee has the power to increase its numbers Tonight's will be under the chairmanship of Ald. Murdoch; On National Flag OTTAWA (Special) -- On- tario Riding MP Michael Starr said Tuesday that it is most unfair that the Liberal Party caucus, or even the 265 mem- bers of Parliament, at Ottawa should decide on 4 new national flag for 20 million Canadians. Mr. Starr was commenting, outside the house, on the ques- tions and answers that were fired back and forth across the Commons' Chamber Tuesday af- ternoon as opposition MP's ques- tioned Prime Minister Pearson o the contentious flag issue. NO REPLY During the exchange, Mr. Starr rose to ask whether it was not a fact the government was planning to ram_ their choice of a flag down the throats of the Canadian people. As Liberal benches broke into a storm of calls and shouts, Mr. Pearson simply sat and did not rise to reply directly. Outside the house Mr. Starr said it was clear from the noisy attitude of the Liberal benches that this was what the govern- ment has in mind. He said it was noticeable that very few of the Liberal back benchers did not join in the applause for Mr. Pearson when he announced the government's intention to sub- mit the design of a new flag to Parliament for approval. One of those who remained silent was Ralph Cowan, Liberal MP for York Humber, who wears a Red Ensign in his but- tonhole and is well known for his support of this flag. "It is apparent there will not be a free vote on this issue. The government has lined up its cau- cus in support of their decisi and the flag that, will be chosen as Canada's new emblem will be the one chosen by the Libs eral cabinet," Mr. Starr said, He said the Creéditiste party will likely support-it as well as most of the 'members 'of the New Democratic, and "Social Credit parties. : ¢ Mr. Starr said that in a mat. ter which involves so much emo- tionalism, the only way to set- tle the matter would be through the holding of a national' refer- endum. He said such a refer- endum should not be held in conjunction with an election ahd the cost of a separate vote of this kind would be well justified in such an important matter, CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who is celebrating his birth- day today: Elfie Tureski, 248 Etna avenue and Catherine Alice Smith (8), 248 Cordova Road, Phone 723-3474. two aldermen, Walter Branch and John Brady will be council liaison members, | Naval' Association reunion in Kitchener - Waterloo at the weekend.
