This was due to the radio and it was also due to the man. Again and again in his public utterances he expres­ sed his faith in God. courageous, fatherly spoke at the Silver again at Christmas over the world­ wide network. His words, were kind and courageous. He spoke to the suffering. He had a word for the children. His last great utter­ ance was at Christmas at the family festival. We shall never forget these words in which he talked In­ timately from his hearthside with his subjects, revealing the real King George. His was a brave and gentle heart and his death is an irreparable loss to the world at a critical time in its history. It was a beautiful close to a noble life. “He being dead yet speaketh.’ Concerning the during the brief sciousness some kind observation words of gratitude or kindness fol­ lowed. Oxi one occasion he said to his secretary: “How is the Empire?” The secretary replied: “All is well, sir, with the Empire.” The King gave him a smile and lapsed again into unconsciousness. Hence it is that today thoughts of an Empire’s people centre upon one ‘Whom we have loved long since and lost awhile.” Hence the enthusiastic loyalty to the crown, an ever-grow­ ing devotion to the King as a belov­ ed personality. The British Empire and the whole world mourn the death of His Ma­ jesty King Ge'orge. They mourn not so much because he was King of England but because of those gentle qualities of heart and soul which have endeared him to his subjects in every part of the wide-flung Bri­ tish Empire. “Our King is Dead” King George V has been truly well beloved. So it seems to me that the familiar cry “The King is Dead” gives place at this time to the more personal, affectionate cry, “Our King is Dead.” A tired heart is stilled; a faithful servant goes to the rest he has earned. A leader of men, wise, loving, and selfless as few leaders are or have been, is lost'to his people. Not even with his death is the full stature of the dead King revealed. Years yet to come must measure it. Yet with death comes some understanding of the place in his people’s hearts held by the brave and simple-hearted gentleman who was England’s King and pire’s. “He being dead, eth.” “This man was King in direst need; In the black-battle years, after- hope was gone His courage was a flag men rallied on, His steadfast spirit showed him King indeed.” And when the wax* was ended, when the thought Of revolution took its hideous place, His courage and his kindness and his grace (Scattered (or charmed) „ its ’minis­ ters to naught. No king of all oui- many has beexi proved ,By times so savage to the thrones of kings, Or- won more simple triumph over fate. • He was most royal among royal things, Most thoughtful fox’ the meanest ixx his state, The best, the gentlest and the most beloved.” It wag this heart that J ubilee and To the Editor, Exeter Times-Advocate ANNUAL MEETING The sixtieth annual meeting of the Usborne an4- Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurance Qo. will be held/. at Farquhar, Mon®y, Februaryv"3rd, 1936 at 2 p.m. ffii* the puiT^'se of receiving the KSforts of d®1 Direct­ ors and.

Recent press despatches intimate the possibility of the Provincial Government making changes in the apportioning of school grants that will further favour the separate schools of the province, to the detri­ ment of the great public school sys­ tem. The separate schols have been clamouring for some time for legis­ lation which would divert taxes paid by corporations and utilities, re­ gardless of stock ownership, on a basis of school attendance; which would mean that companies entirely Protestant owned would be compell­ ed to pay a portion of their taxes to these religious schools where the doctrines of the Church of Rome are taught daily. This change in the Act would not only divert tremen­ dous sums from the public schools, which now rightly belong to them by law—which law is the basis ot Confederation—it would be a great injustice and manifestly wrong that any other than a separate school supporter should be taxed for the support of denominational schools. While the question of school grants is being discussed, it would 'be well for the public school sup-, porters to give some thought to the way in which their schools have been treated during the last few years. How much is our school grant now? How muelf less is it than it was three or four years ago? How much bet­ ter is the separate school treated? The facts are, Mr. Editor, that in the years 1931 to 193 4, public school grants were reduced from $4,104.- 436.41 to $3,112,814.92 (official government figures) or nearly One million dollars; while the separate school grants were increased consid­ erably! during the same period. The separate school are only 10.6 per cent, of all primary schools, yet they get nearly 18 per cent, of all the government aid. In 1934, for every $1.00 granted a public school in Assisted School Grants, a Roman Catholic separate school received $1.71. Why should this be, and why should public schools be so discriminated against? Public School Trustees should be interested in getting to the bottom of this matter, and compel our Mem­ ber of the Legislature to do some­ thing to correct this grave injustice and see that the rights of the pub­ lic school supporters are not further infringed upon.

I to the throne in 1910 and the 25 years of his reign were as strenuous and as critical as any in the long history of the British crown. His reign began in troublesome times: the general strike; the Irish Ques­ tion; women’s suffrage and then the catastrophe of the Great War which shook the world to its very founda­ tion and shattered many of the old dynasties of Europe. It covered the past six years of depression and has seen governments tumble, ancients theories challanged and new pan- acies arise. There hds been general unrest throughout the world but Britain’s King and Britain’s Throne have, enjoyed an increase of stability and honor. Even though throne after throne has fallen as a result of the Great War our King was such that lie came through the ordeal more firmly established in the hearts of his people than even before. Notable As a Lover of Peace Although King George was head of the British Empire during greatest war of its history, or world’s histoiT, he will not known as a war king. Rather will be notable as a lover of peace and as a British King who made himself one with his people, an­ xious for their welfare and thinking only of the betterment of the Em­ pire and the world. It was more than just the Tact that it was solid old Braitain, that the English throne during the war and since was never in peril, and to-day is more strong­ ly entrenched in the affections of the people than ever. It was large­ ly due to the tact, diplomacy and the wisdom of King George. Columns could be written in re­ gard to the King during the war. He visited the front at personal risk on many occasions. He was thrown from his horse on one visit and confined to his bed for- weeks, was unceasing in cheering troops; keeping in touch with ministers and generals and visitin, hospitals. All through these trouble­ some times ou,n King gave us a courageous lead. During the King’s reign the world passed through per­ haps the most troubled period in its tragic history. How well the Em­ pire bore itself in the “full clutch of circumstance” has become a matter of record. And even during the dark days, George V set for all his people an example that was largely followed. He and they remained calm1, dignified and resolute. These grim years saw a King at his best as head of an Empire facing un­ flinchingly new and terrible prob­ lems. WINCHELSEA The community skating rink is being well patronized these nights.
