His suggestion for a distinct- lve C anadian flag. painted about three years ago, is sim- lilar to that now being proposed in Parliament by the govern- ment.
The design of the 81-year-old painter. one of Canada‘s famed Group of Seven artists. has three red maple leaves joined on a single stem on a white background. But where the gov- ernment's design has a vertical blue bar at each side of the flag. Mr. Jackson proposes a waxy horizontal blue bar at the top and the bottom.
This. to him, makes} big difference.

“Now. the government design is meant to indicate the seal-to- sea motto. But oea-to-sea does not really mean much. Downs of countries have two seas. and anyway most of the Pacific coastline belongs to the Amer- icans. Our biggest coastline is in the north. and the govern- ment‘s flag doesn’t show this."

NOT A GOOD ONE
"I donft really want to push my design." said the artist. “The government has appar- ently decided on a flag - al- though it’s not a very good one."

DARTMOUTH. N.S. (CF)— Ian McLennan. a navy lieuten- ant. likes to fly and is deter- mined the loss of a leg in an automobile accident four years ago won’t keep him out of the pilot’s se t

Merit. McLennan. a husky six- loot-stx, 2154pounder. began his navy career in 1952 and by early 1060 had won his pilot’s wings. The wings were clipped in May of the same year when his small car crashed into a bridge near Montreal. Bot-h his

But he's all in favor of the maple leaf motif.
“We had to decide either on an emblem or an abstract de- sign such as a tri-color. and there's so many of those it’s hard to get a distinctive flag. We have no animal—the beaver looks like a' rat — and so the maple leaf seems best.
“Having decided that, t government should have called for suggestions, and then made up some of the designs in full- sined flags and flown them in various parts of the country.
“You have to think how a flag will look through a tele- scope from three or four miles away. One maple leaf. from that distance, might look like a circle or something and the flag would not be distinctive. The three leaves would make it distinctive."
