Clinton News-Record, 1946-06-20, Page 11THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1946 CLINTON. NEWS -RECORD "Our King and Queen" By "PEG" In recent days we have been think- ing a great deal of our King and Queen, King George VI has just passed another milestone in his life. He is a monaroh whom everyone honors and our hopes as a nation is that God, if it is His will, will spare him. for many years to rule over us. Just sevenear y sago the Sovereign of the British Commonwealth of Na- tions and his Queen were guests of the Dominion of Canada and for a few days of the United States of America. With what joy we look hack over those weeks. By newspaper and radio we followed thein across Canada and when on June 15, 1939, they sailed from Hailfax we all felt they had won a place in our hearts which could never be taken away. Since then many things have happ- ened, World War 11 has been fought and won. Many of the young men and women who were so anidous to secure a good vantage point from which to see their Majesties have cros§ed the ocean and have e v fought u t g for the liberty ty of the world, lid The majority of themhave gone thioh the conflict with credit to themselves and to their country; a comparative few have been called into the presence of King George to be decorated for their valor; many thousands have gi grven their all, even their lives to save us from the despotism of the enemy. Others have returned hoarse tired of war and have entered some branch of cilivian life, all deserve great credit for their actions and many times they have been thanked personally, in groups or over the radio by His Majesty, who appreciates to the full everything which ther have done. Those who have seen the King and Queen in recent months say the war has aged them. They have bothgiven more than any of us know hi order that the people might realize that in all details of life they, have had sym- pathy with their subjects, If they. Were in the hearts of'the Canadian people prior to the war, that terrible crisis has endeared them all the more to those who held them in such high respect. It is to be hoped that ere many years have passed that they will again visit this part of their v;st Empir"e, this time, if possible accompanied by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose. The story of the courtship of His Royal Highness Albert Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes.Llylon, youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, was one of the most beautiful love stories of all times. Lady Elizabeth had been very busy attending to and entertaining sick and wounded soldiers at Glamis castle, the family home, which in the meantime had been turned into an infirmary. When the war was over andhome, for r itwas a true home, was back to normal again, ar- rangements were made for a house party. Included among the guests. \ves .Albert, second son of King George V. He and Lady Elizabeth had met when Prince Albert was just eleven years of age. On account of his speech, Albert was rather retic- ing. Noticing this, Lady Elizabeth determined • to do her best to make' him feel happy. It was not very long until they each one knew that they were meant for one another. On occasions they were able to meet. Finally Albert felt he had met the one' he wanted to share his life with him. A shorttime previous pr v ua to this, King George V had decided that the young- er children of the Royal family could marry from the ranks of dukes, mar- quisses or earls. As Albert was not the heir to the throne he was justified in asking sk Kingor • g George and Queen g M •for Mary their consent to marry ya Lady Elizabeth. This permission was readily granted as the Earl , and Countess of Strathmore were every where esteemed. This permission had to be obtained before Albert could present his petition to Lady Eliza- beth. The marrage took place April 26th, 1923, in Westminster Abbey. It was for them a day long to be remember- ed. The happiness of that time still continues, although their position in life has been greatly altered. At the time of their marriage there were two heirs between our present Icing and the thione. His father, King George V and his. elder brother, Edward, Prince of Wales. On Jan- uary 20, 1936, King George V passed away. He was succeeded by his son, Edward VIII, but on December 11th, of the same year, Edward VII abdi- cated, making his choice between the love of an American friend, 1VIIrs. Waffle Simpson and the throne cf Great Britain. The Duke and -.Duchess of York saw their duty before them. Although they would have preferred their home life with their two daughters, they ac- cepted the responsibility of the throne QUARTER/0,4e ROUND TRIP GOOD going from 12.00 noon, June 28th, ifttil 2.00 p.m. Monday, July 1st, 1946.

James C. Caley, B,A., L.Th., was inducted into the parish of Gorrie, Fordwich and Wroxeter by the Ven. Archdeacon W. J. Doherty, D,D., London The Rural Dean of Huron, Rev. R. M. P. Bulteel, Clinton, conducted the first part of the service. * *' * APPOINTED TO DISTRICT GODERIC31--Major T. B. ennings of the Salvation Army, London, has announced the appointment of Capt. Gladys Smith and Capt. Margaret Lockwood to Goderich, and Capt. Ilene Kerry to Seaforth. Major El- eanor Webtser has been transferred from Seaforth to Wallaceburg; Lieut. Margaret Farmer, formerly of God- erich, goes to London. • INDUCTION JULY 5 BLUEVALE—•At the morning ser- vice in the United Church, Rev, S. J. for which Edward VIII had been trained. Life indeed has not been easy for them but with Godshe 1 theyhave P av carried en the ,task 1iey assumed under His guidance. The close contact each one of our beloved rulers has had with the sub- jects aver whom King George rules has been really remarkable. Many times11 following o� destruction txuctr n the bombs of the enemy one or by hof them have gone to see the chaos and to sympathize with those who have been bereaved or who have suffered loss of property. What' that meant to those so affected is known only by the ones to whom their .help and sympathy was offered. When they were in Canada they many times slipped away from the immediate presence of their guards and so it was in England following the raids. They are much beloved by the people of all lands over which they rule. They plainly allow that the lowliest of their subjects mean just as notch to then as these who hold high office. A patient once deplored the fact that he would rot be able to, see the King and Queen when they visited our fair Dominion and a friend said to him, "Well, never mind, some day you will see the King of Kings." Our Earthly King came to us in the grandeur of his high office, but yet he who has precedence over everyone in the British Empire ack- nowledges that he is only a lowly subject as compared to the King of all the Earth. At the coronation, when it came to the communion ser-. vice, both he and the Queen removed their crowns in honor of the King whom they both love and serve. Neither the Ring nor Queen ever speak to their people without bring- ing in some reference to the God who is their: Master; We always feel as their message is being broadcast that God surely is with a country which is ruled ever by such loyal and de- voted rulers. We know that during the war we have not deserved the victory which God gave us in World War II, but we are thankful that we have a King and Queen who love the Saviour of the world. King George VI asked all his sol- diers to take God as their guide. Many during the war gave their hearts to Jesus .Christ. Are they standing true to their vow? Many are but we know there are some who have returned not the good, clean boys they went away. There may be some people in Can- ada who 'do not want to , abide by Canadian laws. They do not wish to obey the earthly King. Our legal courts mete out punishment for them, We are not compelled to accept Christ as our King but if we do we must ask Him to abide there alone. We, cannot serve God and the world too. As we have said on a previous oc- casion the colors of our earthly realm Bridgette preached: Announcement was made that the , Rev. Arthur Hewitt, Belmore, would be inducted into the pastoral charge of Bluevale and Ebenezer on July 5. + * * FISHERMAN FINED W1NGHAM—Pleading, guilty be- fore Magistrate Morley, Clifford Locking, R.R. 2, Clifford, was 'fined 810 and costs on each charge which included having in his possession an undersized speckled trout and having a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle.
