Back in the fifties our TV station played, “The Ode to Newfoundland”, our national anthem before confederation, followed by O’ Canada. We still are proud of the fact we are the only part of Canada that was it’s own dominion before confederation.
Since the late sixties our private station has been 24 hr with very few shutdowns.
Do not archive.

Once upon a time at a Nascar race here in Michigan, they were playing
our National Anthem, followed by "O, Canada", (because Canada is
close-by) and I made the remark "I think I like the sound of O Canada
better than I do our Anthem"....man, you'da thought I set fire to our
flag! A couple of my veteran buddies climbed all over me. I told them
all I meant was the tune, not what it stood for...sheeesh!

Funny thing: Being a photographer you may have noticed this. I looked
through a catalogue of the flags of the world... there are several tri
colours...France, Germany, the Vatican etc. There are several what I call
geometric designs... Japan, Canada, Newfoundland. But there are two flags
that stand out strictly form a design point. These flags are easily
recognizable even if the colours were completely washed out. They are the
Union Jack and the U.S. Flag. I find it interesting that Englishmen,
separated by a little scuffle in the mid 18th century, were behind the
design of both flags.
