SOVIET FLAG
CENTENNIAL DISPLAY POST OFFICE DECORATIONS EMBLEM LATER REPLACED The inclusion of the emblem of Soviet "Russia among the flags of various nations used as part of the centennial decorations at the Chief Post Office, Queen Street, caused some unfavourable comment among passers-by yesterday. The red flag with the device of a star over a hammer and sickle was among those flying from one of the pylons that have been erected on the footpath outside the post office. After flying for some time the Soviet flag was removed and replaced by that of the Republic of Panama. It was stated that the change was made because it was decided to replace the particular row of flags with larger ones.
