 | | Qantas said sure, though it was a strong supporter of the new laws, it did not plan to undermine the power of the 15 trade unions with which it dealt. | | | Union Jack noticed the revival of the sobriquet "black gold", but what now would he call gold? | | | That was as unfair as the interpretation that business wanted an end to some unfair dismissal laws so it could quickly exercise itself with some unfair dismissals. |

| | Although he was able to prevent Blood from assassinating a member of Parlaiment, Union Jack couldn't apprehend the vampire. | | | But Jacqueline and the other Invaders were then taken captive by the Nazis, who were going to execute the heroes in front of a firing squad. | | | When the Falsworths were again threatened by the Nazi vampire Baron Blood, Kenneth was too weak to assume the role of Union Jack. |

| | In then years the now extremely elderly Lord Falsworth suspected that a series of "slasher" murders in the vicinity of Falsworth Manor were the work of a secretly resurrected Baron Blood, whom he now knew to be his brother John. | | | Falsworth escaped the prison and became a costumed fighter of Nazis within Germany itself known as the Mighty Destroyer. | | | Lord Falsworth, Spitfire, and Dyna-Mite parachuted into Nazi Germany in the hope of finding a means of restoring the brainwashed Dyna-Mite's memory. |

| | Union Jack |
| | The flag, known as the Union Jack, formed in Great Britain, of the Jacks representing a strong concentration of these peoples has been described, most appropriately, as representing a "Union of Jacob", and thus it has become a point of attack by some who would deny the identification of ourselves with ancient Israel. | | | Let us follow the trail of investigation further. | | | Pointing out that the derivation suggested, while "ingenious", cannot be accepted as "there were 'Jacks' long before the time and reign of James 1" the author presents information concerning feudal companies which wore the heraldry of their liege lord and military companies which wore such, marking their allegiance to a king. |

| | The appearance of such a jack in the Flaggenbuch - considering the lengths gone to in ensuring the accuracy of that publication - seems to confirm that the practice had (at least in 1939 if not now) some sort of official sanction? | | | There are various theories as [to] how it became known as the 'Union Jack', but most of the evidence points to the name being derived from the use of the word 'jack' as a diminutive. | | | Both the 1:2 and 3:5 versions are official (although the government uses 1:2) and their specifications are given in BR20 Flags of All Nations, the British government's flag book. |

| | The European Union flag has however been under threat, and there have been many proposals to replace it. | | | Permission appears to have been given to allow the Union Jack to be used on land as far back as 1800, and there have been many authoritative confirmations since then that the Union Jack should be used as the national flag. | | | On land, the use of the Union Jack is an issue which has never been resolved in legal or constitutional terms and it has never been officially adopted or defined as the national flag, no matter what one wishes to call it. |

| | U.S. Navy's First Jack |
| | There is a widespread belief that ships of the Continental Navy flew a jack consisting of alternating red and white stripes, having the image of a rattlesnake stretched out across it, with the motto "Don't Tread on Me." That belief, however, rests on no firm base of historical evidence. | | | It is well documented that the rattlesnake and the motto "Don't Tread on Me" were used together on several flags during the War of Independence. | | | The only written description of the Continental Navy jack contemporary with the American Revolution appears in Commodore Hopkins's "Signals for the American Fleet," January 1776, where it is described as "the strip'd jack." No document says that the jack had a rattlesnake or motto on it. |
