Coronation, in 1911, is in the possession of H. Ralph Latimer, of Zurich. The money recalls centur- ies-old religious rituals associated with Good Friday. The set—a silver penny, and two, three and four -pence pieces, were given to Mr, Latimer by his father, who was present to receive them from King George at the time of his Coronation. Being a spec- ial Coronation issue, the coins have quite a high value. But their real value is not coun- ted in monetary terms. They are a symbol of the monarch's humil- ity and an expression of Christ's, "new commandment" given at the Cs, Den's Plumbing Heating and Tinsmithing Phone i 56 -- Zurich FOR DEPENDABLE HEAT Ai!

Maundy Thursday is tomorrow, In Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches it will be celebrated by the traditional stripping of the al- tar, a symbol of baring one's sins before God in preparation for Good Friday. Maundy money is still given out by Queen Elizabeth, and a ritual preceeding the money presentations —that of washing the feet of the poor—is still followed by the Pope, bishops and priests. The traditional rites of Maundy Thursday have three origin in the ancient church in ceremonies de- signed to show both humility, com- passion and love. Maundy Thursday is sometimes called Sheer or Chare Thursday, either in allusion to the "sheering" of heads and beards in preparation for Easter or, in the word's Middle English sense of "pure", in allus- ion to the ablution of the day. These were the washing of feet of 12 or more poor men or beggars, and the ceremony continued until the mid -eighteenth century. As long ago as the fourth century the rite of foot washing was com- mon and was performed by the Pope, prelates, priests and nobles. In England, the king washed the feet of as many poor men as he was years old, and then distributed meat, money and clothes to them. Encyclopedia Britannica records that Cardinal Wolsey, in 1530 "made his maund in Our Lady's Chapel, having 59 poor men whose feet he washed and kissed; and after he had wiped them he gave ev- ery of the said poor Hien 12 pence in money, three ells of good canvas to make them skirts, a pair of new shoes, a cast of red herrings and three white herrings." Queen Elizabeth I performed the ceremony — it was hien called the paupers' feet" — but the feet were first washed by yeomen of the laundry with warm water and sweet-smelling herbs. By about 1750, the foot washing ceremony had been abandoned. In its place the ceremony became a presentation of Maundy money, or AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES C minds are a+ .v kahie Fertilizer at Competitive Prices E. I. .

He hasn't had a cent. And he's still plageud physically from the injuries he received three years ago. Probably as a result of the fracture of his skull, his head aches 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Part of his right hand and arm is constanly numb. The Hay township farmer was hospitalized for weeks after the ac- cident. He wasn't able to start even light work on his farm until seven months later. Struggled Through Despite the many-sided adversity, the extent of which only they know, the family has struggled through, thanks to the help of neighbours and friends and the assumption of responsibility by the children. Time may have little effect on the settlement of legal claims but it doesn't delay a family's growing up.

It had been willed to. her by her mother, who died three months be- fore the accident. While the moth- er paid for insurance for a period extending beyond the date of the accident, the insurance company contends its coverage lapses when the person for whom it is issued dies. The case has created considerable interest in the insurance industry because its result could have far reaching effect. If the Global com- pany wins, it may mean that if a driver is killed in an accident, his insurance won't cover any of the damages incurred by him. The legal complexities and re- percussions, however, are not of great concern to Harold Finlay, an ordinary farmer in a little commun- ity in a large country which guar- antees justice to the individual. His question is: how many years must it take to get that justice?
