3. Whereas it is in the best interest of Canadianization and the young
people of our Dominion in particular, that Canada have a National Flag,

take place alternately in Edmonton and Calgary instead of as at present,

such questionable methods, which are under the ban of the law;
Therefore be it resolved that the Women's Institutes do not favor
schemes of this sort for increasing their funds.—' Little B o w Constituency
Conference. Lost,
7. Whereas a closing ode is used in most organizations;
