DOES SPECIAL DUTY
Chief of Police Helntar Snell, of
Seaforth, who was on special policy
duty in Stratford, on Tuesday, had
the good fortune to be inside the en-
closure during the presence of the
King and Queen, and was quite close
to then. Mr. 'Snell had been placed in
the morning near 'Falstaff school in
the north part of the city. In the aft-
ernoon the was stationed on the Main
street, but just before the royal train
arrived a police van picked him up
along with other constables and took
them to the station, where they were
able to get positions that were the
envy of the crowd.
WAS QUIET HERE
Con's'table Currie reports that Sea -
forth was. a 'very quiet place on Tues -
clay, with a large portion of the
adults and most of the children away
to Stratford. Things livened up tow-
ards evening when the ,trains began
arriving .back from the city and the
station yard andstreet for a bloke or
more was lined with (cars. The kiddies
were waving and singing as their
train pulled In. They were a tired ]beat
happy 'bunch.
Many were in Loudon on Wednes-
day for theroyal visit. Cars passed
through' town from north of here con-
tinually during the night, headed in
the' direction of London,
INJURED :SEAFORTH BOY'
WINS QUEEN'S SYMPATHY
Billy Jack, eight year old son of
Rev. and Mrs. Hugh jack, from now
on will be a firm 'believer in "All's
well, that ends well." Billy
was with the Cubs at Stratford sta-
tion when the royal train pulled in
wt Tuesday afternoon and, in the
jostling he fell and struck his head an
a stone, renderin=g him momentarily
unconscious. He was. ' given attention
by a 'kindly moun•tie who carried him
out of the crowd. When fully recov-
ered the man in scarlet asked Billy if
he had seen the king and queen, and
escorted him to the foot of the steps
of the coach as the royal couple were
getting up on the train after the
ceremonies.
The queen leaned over the railing
and with denip concern said to Billy,
"I can see you have been waiting a
long time," She then asked his name
and where he was from. The king
looked on and smiled to him,
Billy was greatly pleased by his
good fortune, and considers himself
well rewarded for the hardships of
the memorable day.
jack Vy'eedmark, another cub, 'was
also spoken to by the Queen,
HAVE SOUVENIRS
OF ROYAL TRAIN
Mrs. Ken MacLean and Miss Mar-
garet Finnigan of tEgmondvi•]le each
have a lovely red rose which they
will treasure as souvenirs of the royal
visit. 'While the train was at St.
Marys Junction the young ladies
called to a member f
b a the royal party
who was standing at a door at the
front end :of the last coach, which
was occupied by their majesties, and
asked hint for a souvenir.
"What do you want?" the asked.
"Anything at all," they said. The
charming red-haired young English-
man disappeared into the car and just
as it began to move out he returned
and tossed each of them a rose. •
VISITED IN CHICAGO
Mrs, John Cudmore of Holntesville
has just returned home after having
a very pleasant visit with her sister
and 'brother-in-law, 31f,r. and Mrs.
Thomas Dodds of Oak Park, Ill.,
and other friends and also her nephew
and niece, Mr. and Mrs. Albert C.
Dodds of Chicago.
MANY DID NOT SEE
THE KING AND QUEEN
"Did you see the 'King and Queen?"
is a question everyone is asking in
Seaforth after the local Tuesday holi-
day on the occasion of Their Majes-
ties' visit to Stratford',
Apparently, there were many who
went to Stratford who either did not
see Their Majesties, or got only a
distant glimpse of them,
The thousands of school children,
all of whom were east of the station
at Stratford,, had hard luck on Tues-
day when the royal train roared past
them, giving them scarcely a glimpse
of their king and queen, after hours
of patient waiting in the hot stn. And
the thousands who waited in a mile
long row of parked 'cars along the
tracks west of the station had hard
luck, for the train quickly gathered
speed and carried the monarchs
away, a :fleeting vision of a light
colored dress 'being the only inepres
cion of her Majesty, the Queen.
But there was •"'hard luck also
among those who braved the heat and
the crowds surrounding the receiving
stand at the station in the !hope of a
close-up view.
A highly esteemed Seaforth lady re-
counts her experience, 'Sloe was stand-
ing in the crowd and the :band was be-
tween her and the platform. She could
see absolutely nothing of Their Maj
esties or what was going on, She 'care-
fully climbed on a canvas camp stool
she had with 'her and from this point
of vantage got only a glimpse of
them over 'the heads of the band and
she tried to wave her flag,
Then she was seized from behind by
a 'huge woman she is sure must have
weighed 250 .pounds, and jenked off
the camp stool.
"That woman was so rough . I
thought she had nearly torn my dress
off," the 'Seaforth lady continued.
While she Stooped to pick up her
earrings which had fallen to the
ground, a big man rushed up with a
camera.
I want to take a picture," he said,
and jumped up on :her light stool,
The .stool collapsed. There was not
enough of it left' to bring hon=e. And.
so ended' her adventures and further
chance of.seeing Their Majesties.

A ROYAL WELCOME
King George of England, worthy of
the name,
Canadians welcome thee with glad
acclaim,
And the sweet maid of Glamis 'by thy
side,
Serene and gracious Scotland's joy
and pride,
The 'Motherland, so dear to us and
thee
Must ever 'be a kingdom strong and
free,
Its sceptre justice, as in days of yore,
Its watchword, Liberty from shore to
shore.
To the democracies we tune our lyre
May more arise that to world peace
aspire,
Lord cleanse the nations irony all
greed and dross
Centre their symbols :safely in the
(cross.
This • land of maples and the lordly
pine,
Of gold' and wheatlands and the
choicest wine,
Pours oni't its soul in loyalty to thee
Theruler of a great democracy,.
And to the princesses we wave our
hand,
Who stand alone on England's sea-
girt strand,
Looking with wishful eyes toward
this shore;
God bless our royal line forevermore.'
