NATIONAL FLAG
• (To the Editor of the Herald.) Sir, —Perhaps few people have noticed it, blit many of the Union Jacks flying in Gladstone road arc showing the distress signal, being flown upside down. As the flags are obviously intended as a sign of welcome to the Duke of Gloucester, who will be sure to notice such glaring errors, it would be well for our shopkeepers to look to their flags before to-morrow afternoon. We all should know how to fly our own flag, surely. For those who do not know, the correct way to flv the ling is with the broad hand of ‘white in the corner by the head of iho pole above the cross of St. Patrick and not below it.—Yours, etc., UNION JACK.
