THE HOME PAPElit His Majesty, King George v "Died after a on Monday Night The Empire is in mourning, because her. 'monarch, King George V. -beloved of his people as, perhaps,: no othermonarch ever was beloved, lies dead in his palace and we go .,about with a feeling of loneliness and sorrow. ' A littleover seven months ago we rejoiced with him. as he celebrated : the twent y-�f if th year o f his reign; less than a month ago we heard his The Kung is Dead voice, albeit a somewhat tired voice, over the radio in a ,Christmas : message to all parts of the Empire. Now that voice is stilled, the heart, which throbbed for his people, whom he greeted in his Christmas message as`frriy dear friends," lies quiet, and as, a man and as a King we mourn him and our hearts go out 'in sympathy to his devoted wife, Queen Mary, and to his children, in their hour of sorrow, more especially to the eldest, his heir, who is now our; King. Tread softly, all, the King is Dead And, while we mourn for the monarch whom we loved, we rejoice that the new King is also beloved of his people. King Edward VIII., whom we know as the Prince .of Wales, or more intimately as "The Prince, "`(it will be difficult to teach our tongues to use the new title), : is hailed with complete confidence and rejoicing as he ascends the ancient throne. of Britain. We in Canada know him and love him.` He won all hearts when he came here as a lad just after the war; he has visited us since and each time we have learned to love him more. We trust his -sincerity; we appreciate his common sense and we feel sure that he will make a worthy successor to his noble father. As a son who devotedly loved that father, we sympathize with him at this time, when he cannot even allow himself space to indulge a natural grief, but must care.for the things 'of the state. With sincerity we say "God Save The King. May his reign be a happy one for us all. Long Live The King!

In the .best game of hockey seen here this year the Colts defeated Kincardine 5-0 last night • at the local arena. The game was fast and the body checks were haanded out in great style. Althougni not a rough and tumble game by any means, Ref- eree Kemp handed out 13 penalties in :all; 5 to Clinton and .8 to Kincar- dine. A fine crowd was .int hand and na Thad it not been for the stoma no doubt as capacity crowd would have attended. Play 'was even throughout with the Colts capitalizing on the scoring chances. - The only goal of tine first period came about midway, when I'a Me - ,Ewan took a pass frons R. McEwan inside the blue -line and rased in to score. Both teams had chtatices, but failed to click. In lite second McI{ay made it 2-0 on •8 lone rush. It was a nice; effort, and Manager Elliott made no mis- take when he filled the vacancy with this boy. "Timmer" McDwan made it 3-0 before the period. ended. Kiel. 'Streets sent' the . Kincardine goalie off for repairs when he hit him ,with. the puck about ,midway through the . period . He continued after a short interval and finished the game under great difficulties. He 'deserves credit for his, plucic. Clinton 'scored their two goals less than 'two minutes apart.

CLINTON MAN'S EMPERIENCE Malty will be the stories told these days, in bemacks, aboard ship, and in many a crowded ,city and ionela_* hamlet, in Canada, in England, in New Zealand and Australia, in ev- ery corner of. the British Empire, :about the date King Genrge. In ron- versation with Mr. leerman W. Mil- ler : yesterday -we heard one ,such, which is worth repeating. Mr. Mil- ler had been wounded in Trance and was in W. ,audw.orth Hospital, London, when one . day the . King •came in. Ile was walking down the ward between the beds, bowing .and smiling at the men as he passed, when he noticed the Maple Leaf crest ,above Miller's becl. He then stepped lap beside the bed and shook • hands with him, ins quiring'about his condition and ex- pressing a hope that he might soon recover and have no lasting effects from his wound. "I was, theonly man amongst the twenty-two thous- and in that hospital that day who shook hands with the King," said Mr. 'Miller. - He also had • a little experience with the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VIII,, one day in France. He was in charge of a machine or air- craft' gun one hot June day when there was not much doing and he had thrown off his helmet, when suddenly a red call came around the corner of the dugout, a staff officer, followedby the alert' young Prince,'. The officer immediately gave Miller a . bawling out for being without ° his helmet, calling attention to the dan- ger anger of shrapnel, but Miller thought It was mostly because he could not properly salute His Royal Highness without, having it on his head. He listened to tne tirade and then the officer; went on, followed ' by , the Prince,; who when passing the young Canadian gave him . a friendly grin, as much as to say:_ "1 understand We• have to take that sort of thing." "I shall never forget _those' . two men," Mr. Miller said. "The Prince. was then on one of his excursions up front .which he liked to take as often as he could, even against,' the advice of everyone 'in authority. He'sa man . who doesn't like to be bound down."' JR. INSTITUTE MEETING The regular monthly meeting was held Friday evening.
