SUBSCRIBER ? When one of the faithful workers has called on you for help in the campaign, which you can give with a subscription, have you said— “You’ll have to see my wife, she attends to that sort of thing.” “Come around and see me just before the close.” “I’d like to see you win the automobile, but I’m pretty far in ad­ vance now.” “I’m taking more papers now than I get time to read.” “I’d give you a subscription if I thought you’d win.” If you have given an excuse—any of these or others, INSTEAD OF A SUBSCRIPTION — are you TREATING YOUR FRIEND RIGHT.

To me it was a revelation to drive or walk’ in the city, which is the most ancient on this continent, and hear the expres­ sions of regrtet at the enforced delay of Their Majesties; there seemed to be^a feeling of dismay and many were heard to say “what can it mean” but tlifey spoke in French and I had the expression interpreted for me. Once the steamer docked there was' a feeling of great relief and the popu­ lace gave vent to great joy; the entire ro-ute of procession was thronged by cheering lines, of jubilant people. It was a grand spectacle at the landing dock, when Their Majestjes set foot for the first time, on Canadian soil, I was present hi the Red Chamber (Senate) when the address of wel­ come was read to Their Majesties and a number of presentations made. The ceremony was very dramatic and lack­ ed, in my opinion the feeling, which was pent up in the hearts of all pres­ ent; this was relieved when a member of the press gang commenced to clap and cheer and it was the signal for a great outburst of applause. The Queen ’was dressed in a soft pearl grey trimmed with fur and wore a large hat; HeiJ Majesty was decidedly lovely, very lovely, in fact beyond de­ scription. Her gracious- bow and sim­ ple wave of her left hand brought joy and gladness to thousands of hearts. At, the official luncheon in the Chateau Frontenac at noon, there was a grand Spectacle; democratic, yet it had that touch of British splend­ our which struck a} note of pride -in all who were favored by an invita­ tion; His Majesty delivered his first Speech at this function and dressed in simple Morning attire, he appeared to be a little nervous but his speech was clear and when' he spoke in French, the citizens of Quebec were almost hysterical, with delight for his mast­ ery of the language Was perfect. At this function Her Majesty' carried a bouquet of roses and sat at the left of the Prime Minister, Tile Right Honourable W. L. Macknezie King, while His (Majesty Sat on the right of the Prime Minister. At the Battlefields I had a place within a few feet of the stand ^vhere the King and Queen reviewed. 50,000 school children; it was a soul stirring sight to see that immense crowd cheer and-wave small flags; Their Majesties Were evidently deeply mov­ ed and the King appeared as wishing to speak to the children after they had sung God Save the King and O Can­ ada, in both languages, but there were no speech amplifiers arranged. The provincial Banquet at night was another scene of great splendour; words fail to describe the grandeur, it was a credit to the Provincial au­ thorities; the King wore evening clothes while the Queen was dressed in Pale Pink Satin encrusted with gold sequins and wore magnificent jewels. On Wednesday night the*' press party had to occupy the Pilot train which sat along side the ROyal train, in Order that me might leave ahead of the Royal party, early on Thursday morning. Enroute from Quebec city, to Mont­ real, it was one long line of cheering citizens, some from the nearby farms and some from the farms not so near; in the larger towns and especially at Three Rivers, the press train received a tumultous reception and -this be­ spoke a real acclaim for the train bearing Their Majesties and suite. At Three Rivers I took pictures of Crowds of children and people of all ages which I estimated numbered ten thousand, as far as I could See. Montreal was a scene of grandeur; the press party was driven over the route of the procession which was 24 miles in length and teeming with tens of thousands of cheering masses with the buildings .simply grand with dec­ orations. I have been told by an of­ ficial in this city of Montreal that the police department estimated that the Crowd of visitors reached 1,259,000 which together with the million and a quarter of a population, made the reception a great spectacle. It was impossible for your repre­ sentative to accept any of the assign­ ments for Montreal functions as this first story from the Royal train had to be prepared aficl written in order to catch the dead line set by our gen­ ial Managing Director Mr. Clarence V, Charters; it Is being written in the Mount Royal Hotel press room where a battery of typewriters are going and the sound of fifty bands cart be heard In the distance. FLASH—Their Majesties have just passed the window and the cheering is simply deafening; I had a look out to see the procession and the King is wearing the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet, while Her Majesty was dressed in pale blue ensemble with white fox epaulets and small pale blue hat with blue colored veil draped around crown. (This full description has been supplied me1 by one of the society writers in the press party). My .impression thus far is one of great pride in the British tradition and all that it represents; I looked on the manly face of the King, a young man with a great responsibility upon his shoulders; he is most ably sup­ ported by one of the most, gracious and really lovely young women it is possible to imagine; both enshrined in the hearts of their hundreds of mil­ lions of subjects. This Royal tour of Canada will solidify <,the Canadian peo­ ple and strengthen, if that be neces­ sary, their love and devotion to the Throne of the Empire. Such demon- •strations of loyalty and affection.as I have witnessed in* less than two days makes me proud to be number­ ed amdngst the 500,000,000 people ov­ er which His Majesty reigns, and es­ pecially to be a Canadian, for this great new land has already demon­ strated to the world since yesterday morning, that Canada docs stand four square behind the British Throne. Holy writ has been fulfilled very definitely, for in the text, I think it’s 1st Samuel 10: 24, it is written, “And the people shouted and said God Save the King”.- ■<* ASHFIELD (Intended for Last Week) * Friends, and. neighbors of Lochalsh and Hemlock City, where saddened when they heard of the passing away of Mrs. Hugh Macintosh, of Luck- now, on Friday morning.
