Make Day For Flags
A call for more flags and bunting in Queensland cities and town to mark Australia Day, January 26, was made yesterday.
“Last year, most of the flags seen on Australia Day were those carried by children,” the Australia Day Celebration Committee secretary (Mr. W. Murphy) said.
“There should be plenty of flags available this year, as hundreds were sold in Queensland in preparation for the Royal tour,” he said.
Real significance
“To most Australians Australia Day is just another holiday. We are trying to change this attitude and make them realise its real significance as our national day.”
Mr. Murphy said 13 bands would take part in Monday’s procession through the city. Special trains will run to bring spectators into the city.
The procession is to be followed by a sports carnival at the Exhibition Grounds, including trotting, cycling, dancing, hunts, and a massed bands parade.
