Clinton did not pet on any special
sports on M'ond'ay, Silver Jnbilee Day
of His Majesty, King George V, most
people probably staying at home to
take in the radio broadcast, telling
all about what others were doing in
otherparty of the Einpire. But Olin -
ton turned out several hundred strong
in the evening, as many as our good
old town hall would hold, bringing
ehairs from here and there and
planting them all over the place, for
the Silver Jnb"nlee Concert, sponsored
by the town council -and arranged by
a committee appointed at a special
meeting of that body. And it was
something of a 'concert too, all put
on by local talent.
Mayor Holmes acted as chairman.
There were two opening choruses,
•
"0 Canada,"and
another, n from the
public school pupils under the direc-

had said; there would be no encores,
they just had to return, The choir of
St. Paul's church sang two glees,

Who on Monday celebrated the
Silver Jubilee of their reign and were
the recipients of messages of good
will and loyalty from all parts of the
Empire.
Had anything been needed to prove
to Their Majesties that they were
firmly entrenched in the love of their
people • Monday's demonstrations
would do it. Monday evening, at the
close of a long and a trying day, both
physically and emotionally, the King,
in a general broadcast to his Empire
said, his voice almost failing him at
times:
"At the close of this . memorable

most deeply moved?
"Words cannob express my

trials and difficulties together. They
are not over. In the midst of these
days of rejoicing I grieve to think of
the numbers of arty people who are
still without work.
