Flag Waving
\WHEN it comes to flags, I imagine that many of gur people were not too sure about the New . Zealand flag some years ago. When the present King and Queen visited New Zealand as Duke and Duchess of York, at one very tiny settlement the school children were lined up along the road, each with a flag to wave. And most
of the flags were either the stars and stripes of America, or the rising sun of Japan. Apparently there had been such a big demand for the Union Jack and the New Zealand flag in the larger towns, that the stock had run out. And when the local authorities of this remote place wanted flags, they had to take what thev could cet. I’m sure
the children had no idea they were waving foreign flags. Some of the men in authority were very disturbed, but the King was extremely amused at the incident-(" Shoes and Ships and Sealing Wax." Nelle Scanlan, 2YA, October 7.)
