The Hometown Newspaper Of Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Bowmanville, Pickering and neig VOL. 94 -- NO, 38 hboring centres, "GOD BLESS OUR FLAG -- AND GOD BLESS CANADA" -- PEARSON Hoist New Flag At Ottawa OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson said today he is sure all Canadians will fly the new maple leaf with pride, even though many regretted the re- placement of the Red Ensign. He spoke in the Hall of Fame in the Parliament Buildings shortly before a red - coated mountie, Constable Joseph Se- cours, hoisted the new flag on a specially-installed white flag- poie at the foot of the Peace Tower. Mr, Pearson termed the oc- casion "a milestone in Canada's progress from a group of sep- arate British colonies to "a great and sovereign Confedera- tion." Governor - General Vanier, Commons Speaker Alan Mac- naughton and Senate Speaker Maurice Bourget also hailed the new flag. Referring to the stormy par- liamentary debates and public controversies that preceded the adoption of the maple leaf in December, Mr. Pearson said; "There are many in this coun- try who regret the replacement of the Red Ensign by the red maple leaf. Their feelings and their emotions should be hon- ored and respected. "But I am sure, now that the decision has been made by the representatives of the Canadian people in Parliament 'assem- bled, that all Canadians, as good patriots, will accept that decision and fly with pride our national flag." Opposition Leader Diefenba- Conservatives in a six-month parliamentary struggle to re- tain the ensign and block the new flag last year, took part in the ceremony. He had turned down a government invitation to speak. Mr, Pearson said: "Under this flag may our youth find new inspiration for loyalty to Canada; for a patriotism based not on any mean or narrow na- tionalism, but on the deep and equal pride that all Canadians will feel for every part of this good land, "God bless our flag. And God bless Canada." Speaker Macnaughton said the adoption of a distinctively Canadian flag' was a '"'dramatic illustration of Parliament at "It is reassuring that in this 20th century when the old order is changing in so many parts of the world, here in Canada = have been able through the time - honored parliamentary process to reach agreement on a matter so charged with emo- tion as a national flag." The design had been the sib- ject of much debate, but govern- ment by consent had taken place and all agreed on what the flag stood for. "In the best tradition of Par- liament, the participants have gathered here today to mark by their presence their respect for a democratic decision, "In a few moments from now, the Red Ensign will be lowered to take iis honored place among ker, who led English-speaking work.
