The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1937-02-11, Page 7THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE •THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1037 King Edward VIII Written by -Margaret Taylor, daugh ter of Lloyd Taylor, A-B Line School Grand Bend.EDITORIAL Edward, Prince of Wales, became King Edward VIII at the death of his father King George V on Janu ary 20, 1936. The King was born at White Lodge, Richmond noar London on June 23, 1894. He was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, while Queen Victoria .acted as god mother, The Prince was given sev en named, Edward, Albert, Christian George, Andrew, Patrick, David. While Edward and Albert were attending the Royal Naval College at fesborne and Dartmouth their fa ther’s eldest ibirother the Duke of Clarence was accidentally killed. This event brought his father and himsef in direct line for succession to the throne. Edward <was sent away from the Naval Colleges, that1, he might 'pursue other lines of study which would better fit him for the future King of England. We are told that Edward was sorry to leave the Naval Colleges because ihe loved the sea and the life of the navy had to .offer. |Also we are told that he was deeply impressed when made aware of the important place that he would hold in English life when he became prince of Wales. Edward, as Prince of Wales, was a very popular young man and was England’s most travelled King hav ing visited practically all the British Empire and also many other coun tries. He visited Canada four times and owns a ranch on the Canadian Prairies. No King 'has ascended the British throne w'ho has been so greatly lov ed by all classes of his subjects in all parts of the Empire. He gained the love and sympathy of the com mon people and the depressed class es through his contacts and visits which he made to the mining areas, the slums, and in Wales where he visited the miners who had been un employed for years. They felt he understood tfaeiir conditions. During the Great War while he served in France his fellow-soldiers felt he was. a real comrade. To him was given the honour of unveiling the monument of Vimy Rid'ge in September, 1936. Edward as Prince of Wales was very popular in social circles. He speaks Fren'cli fluently. He is fond of sports and dancing and though his name was frequently coupled with many eligible princesses he never’ met one he wished to marry, until he met Mrs. Simpson. .She was a rich American lady who has- been pre sented in Court, but who had been twice divorced. He abdicated his throne in order that he might marry Mrs. Rimpson. Parliament could not accept Mrs. Simpson as the King’s wife and queen, not because s’he was American or a commoner but be cause she was a divorced woman. The Established Church of England also has as its head the King and does not recognize divorce. The English people wish their king and queen to have morals which they can respect and which have come down from Queen Victoria, Edward V,II and King George V and Queen Mary. We are sorry to lose our much loved Prince Edward but we will .be loyal to our New King George VI, God Save the King.

The elig ible maidens are pleasantly pilump,.while the dilatory bachelors are doing their washing, mending their -socks and-living on stale pan cakes. No, there’s nothing bo report. DON’T OVERDO We were interested a icouple of- years ago in the remarks made by an, outstanding physical -culturist to a man he was making -over. The 'Subject of the treatment and remarks was eager to get well and strong. Shouild ihe fail to do so, he realized, that dark days were ahead, for him. Said the manbuilder, “You- expect to irepair in a few weeks the damage you’ve wrought yourself in years. Well, it -can’t be done, no matter how eager you are to get the results you seek. You -over did it in hockey and baseball and sleeip-d'Odging and eating. You’re the wreck yon are 'because you overdid, not because of what you did. Get that, my man.’’ J.‘But I must get back quickly!” “It can’t be done. Remember, the piper in suclr leases always overcharges, though you called the tune. Unless you -come oCf your high horse go to some one else for your help.” “I’ve- tri&d everything else, so I’ll do as you say!” the (poor vic tim submitted. We were -amazed at the simplicity of the course iprescribed and at the remarks o-f the mant-builder. “Do these things with interest and don’t overdo. Now, no ibunk about it!” “I met the iparty treated only the other day. He was a new man. His eye was good. His step was lively ‘I can -do a whole day’s work and not get tired’, he told1 us. ‘I was desperate or I’d never have stood Ifor his grim ways and his slow methods. But in two months without knowing it, I was stronger in every way. I’ve struck to his way’. Every time I see my real friend his last word is “Do, but don’t -overdo.’ ” Ever think about this?

With abundant snow and rainfall on the uplands, and ample reservoir capacity in numerous lakes, Canada is fortunate in having a reliable supply of water power within transmission distance of the principal industrial centres. Only one country, the United States, has a greater total of hydro-electric development. More than three-quarters of the power equipment used in manufacturing industries in Canada is electric- driven. Seventy per cent, of Canadian homes, urban and rural, are equipped with this "modern servant." Cheap hydro-electric power has been an important! ,j factor in the rapid .developmentof the miningindustriesi' ■ -it It^ has been^a deciding factor in the refining of base} metals from Canadian mines,*which"onlyTfewvearai 1 ago was a monopoly of foreign countries. The use of? water power has gone hand in hand also with the ex*) ; pansion of the great forest industriesof Canada.
