It was July 3, 1837, less than a month after she had been 'Proclaimed Queen, that Victoria drove there in state from Kensing­ ton tp take up residence.

L. Smith* of Zurich, Mr. Smith, who is on© of the oldest residents of Zurich, was born in Rainham Township, Haldi- mand County, on April 21 being a son of the Schmidt, who migrated from Ger­ many, and his wife, Catherine Offer­ man, of Alsace, France, In 1874 the family moved to Wilmot Township Does ADVERTISING PAY? from the a formid- high state been able of an the building Buckingham, who lived in said to have ‘with the haughtiness Cost $140,000 In 1702 The building was sold in 1762 £28,000' ($140,000) to George as a dower house for the Queen the King eventually decided to large it and make it into a ' palace, The great architect of that period, Nash, who had designed the famous Regent Street quadrant which these of the older generation will remem­ ber, was entrusted with the work. But there were so many complica­ tions in connection with the project that nearly £750,00'01 were expended before ever a member of the royal family came to live there. When Queen Victoria took up residence many additions were made. One improvement was the provision of a private chapel, which was built ion the site of a conserva­ tory. The Marble Arch, which us­ ed to stand in front of the palace as a memorial to Trafalgar Waterloo, was removed to ent site on the northern Hyde iPark. Little of the interior of ace is ever seen by the people at large.

Most sumptuous of all is the ballroom, where the and state banquets are held. For an evening court the King and Queen, members .of the royal family, their guests and the principal officers of the household pass into the ball­ room by way of the blue drawing room, the state dining room and the music room. Six vast chandeliers illumine the scene as their Majesties fake their places on thrones on a dais at the west end of the ballroom. Above the thrones is a gorgeous canopy of •crimson velvet embroidered with gold, made from the hangings of th© Imperial Shamiana, beneath which the sovereign and consort sat at the Dunbar in 1911.

Table 70 Feet Long *The most celebrated of private royal banquets is the King’s annual dinner to the Jockey Club, when the King takes his place in the centre of the dining table, which is 70 feet long and the Qeen sits opposite.

There are many emptjr spaces where a tree might be grown and there are many large trees that are rough and .unsightly in appearance that should be replaced by younger trees that look so much better. The old trees would provide fuel. This is a work that the Horti­ cultural Society and Parks’ Com­ mission could look after to the ad­ vantage of the town. Again has our School Board ap­ plied for two of the acorns tfrom Windsor Forest which King George VI sent to Toronto for the schools of the province? Should they riot do so? Would this year not be a good one for the farmers in the townships to take a half day off to plant trees for'the future? Such an-act would add to the beauty of their farms and to their intrinsic value almost from the first year ifor besides growing into value they would stop drying winds that are gradually carrying off the moisture stored in the top 42 feet of our land. Uunless some­ thing like this is done it is feared that some day we shall ihave dust storms similiar to those found in various states of the Union as well as in our own western provinces. who died in 1895.

INFANTS’ DEATHS Out of every thousand children born in Canada, thirty five die be­ fore they are one month old, and as many mor© die before they reach the age of one year. This is the record at the present time. A few years ago it was much ’worse, and it is grad­ ually improving, but it is still mot a record of which we can be entirely proud in comparison with other countries. There are countries where th© re­ cord is much worse, even two or three as bad, but there ar© many where it is much better. It is better in the British Isles, in he other British Dominions, in the Scandina- avian countries, in Holland and Switzerland. While we lose seventy babies out of every thousand, New Zealand loses only thirty and Aus­ tralia forty. British Columbia's re­ cord is the best "of any Canadian Province, being almost as good as Australia’s. IThe New Zealand re­ cord is one at which all provinces are doubtlessly aiming through spread of scientific knowledge mothers and others responsible’ the babies welfare. Years ago the baby death rate ed to be particularly high in large cities where danger of cantagion and infection were greatest. This is no longer the case. In Montreal and Toronto, the rates are about the same as for the * provides in which th&y are Situated, while in Winnipeg and Vahcouer rates are substantially lower than the provincial.
