Huron By HARRY JENNINGS and KEN HULL of The Star's Sarnia Bureau SARNIA The bodies of J. W. Jackson, 47, his wife, Edith, 46, and his partially-blind son, Paul, aged 15, were recovered this morning from the wreckage of a borrowed plane which crashed in fog-shrouded Lake Huron near Sarnia Wednesday afternoon.

The plane was also removed from the water this morning. Dr. Jackson was piloting the craft and only his wife and son were passengers. Linda Jackson, 16, and Douglas Jackson, 12, remaining members of the family, had stayed home. OTTAWA (CP) Prime Minister Lester Pearson was reported today to be backing a modified design of the government's three maple leaf flag in which the colors will more approximate those of the Union Jack.

John R. Matheson, Liberal MP for Leeds and a key figure in the original concept of the maple leaf flag, said in an interview the revised version will have more vivid colors aiming at those of the Union Jack. Mr. Matheson called the original design "shockingly ugly." He agreed with critics who said it resembled a beer label. He said the blue, a pale aquamarine in the first version, now will be a "dark navy, I'nion Jack blue." The maple leaves would be a darker crimson.

The modified flag would also be of different proportions in size and the blue vertical bars at each border would be wider in relation to the rest of the flag. There also would be slight changes in the stylized leaves, which he said would put them in better balance. Mr. Matheson said the refinements would require no change in the government resolution before the Commons. i i i i 1 'iff 4fr i 4 i 9 By MAURICE JEFFERIES OTTAWA Agreement has been reached to end the House of Commons marathon flag debate.
