Tf,E KING IS DEAD ' King ,George V, King Elnperor- of the British Empire and ruler over one-quarter of the world's populla- tion.;. died at his home Sandringham, g , on Maiday night; at 11.55,,.,..... He was 70 years of age. NO King'in British history' has liv- ed through as eventful `a.reign.. No King has ever had to live through the life of' crisis, at home and abroad, that King George lived through. No • King has, come through sucha time of crisis bearing with him ' such a large 'measure of the love of his peo-.... pie, and 'the respect of other nations. Perhaps no other King could. He ruled .over a far-flung Empire, the greatest the world has ever known, and yet he..: always remained a. modest Christiian, gentleman. His home life was an example; his public life one .of dignity and service. His own people .loved him; the people- of other nations honored and respected bimr.. He was hated by none. To 'the people of Canada he was more than just a king. Even to those who never 'saw him, -his -voice was familiar. Only last Christmas he .spoke to us, and we heard: He was very real to us. Not just a name or a deity, but a man, and a' man ainong men. =His life and his unceasing work brought him love,, honor and respect. And he earned them all... Canada mourns his passing: • The Legislature The second.. session of the 19th' Legislature, ' which was to have -open- " • ed at the Parliament 'Buildings, To- ronto, on Tuesday, has, owing to the death of the King,been indefinitely postponed, but at .present writing the agenda which.: was to' comprise the Speech from the Tone, has not been made public. ' - The " early calling of the session was made necessary in order. that the new income •tax Iaw, recently adopted by the Hepburn Government cou d receive the sanction of the ti Legi'sl'ature and immediately go into force. . - Ma believe the intention of the , Government is to hold - a week's sit- ting of the members, and then ad- journ journ the Legislature until the end of ,February, when Premier Hep- burn, who is• now in Florida in the interests .:of his health, will be back to again lead the. House. ' It is expected, however, that the Speech from the Throne, delivered on Tuesday, will contain the legisla- tive programme for the' whole ses- sion and that the main features will be the Inocme Tax Act, the ratifica- tion of the new power contracts, ' and if there is to be any change in Sep- arate School-tax ep-arate;:Schoottax legislation, those changes will be included in the throne speech. Whether the Governrnent will suc- ceed in reaching adjournment with- in a week is an open question. It is not expected that they will have any trouble over the income tax bill but theFother legislation mentioned ie an= other matter altogether, as far as the .Opposition is concerned. Premier Hepburn' Hepburn' is a doughty leader and it is quite possible that the Opposition Will -make the most ofhis absence. Not'•only- because that. absence will make their' restraint eel- less severe, hut. ,because the. choice of a new Conservative leader the ofiil k, - and .there may be vera) Opposition intenibers- in:.,., the would like to demonstrate t -news' for that position. the-' the-..aetitig Premier, n Ertl,txt ,t the Fe to reekon-. - a a np in factr..,..ifo i is not. only act ng eml+ r but he�is a ver i rev- er politician,v and a very astute a d - _ able leader. The Government members!. may. , end undoubtedly will, miss Premier Hepburn.- but the Government cause will not suffer much while in the hands. of Mr. Nixon. 1.1 The Passing of Rud yard iplinq Rudyard Kipling, perb.apawthe most versatile writer of poetry and prose in the British Empire, and certainly, the' greatest Victorian 'author, died in a London, England,, hospital .on Saturday last, in his 71st year. He was a.well known writer at the early age of, twenty-five years, and since that time his fame •hasever in- creased until his name became' a household word in . every .Dominion of the British, Empire, and beyond. As far as we can learn from .gib.. serv'a'tion, the youth of the 'present generation, particularly the boy end of it, aa not -given to the reading of • either prose ,or poetry. `Their great authors, : as well ' as . their heroes, spring out of the movies or outof the sport pagesof of the newspapers. To them names like Kipling are just riames. ' Names little known, if known at all. But there is an older generation of boys to whom Kipling was more than ' a n'anie. To ° Whom he was a . very near --friend; 'a,:' prince , of entertainers;' a creator of heroes,.' and a very vivid, human personality. " He has' gone now, and he has been honored. with \a resting place among the nation's great in Westminster Abbey, but .while that older genera- tion of boys live, Rudyard Kipling will always live with them through the pages of ' "Stalkey. & Co," "The Day's _Work,' "Captain's Courag- .eons". and other famous :' tales-. and bits of poetry in which 'thoseboys used' to revel in a bygone day: • It Did Not Take Long It'did not take long to changethe color:' of the car....lice-nse, plates ' this year. Other,years it required weeks and months, and even well on in the • spring one would see a car sporting a .previous 'year license, almost any place one went. This year the Change seemed to take place in a day. One' "day ' . the licenses were yellow, and the next day they were white and black. And' there was a reason.:. When Ton. McQuesten, Minister ofWHigh- ,ways,°stated that he would;°waive a Christmas concession and' extend the time of purchasing new licenses from -January 1st to January 15th; he said it in a way that . was plain. • No doubt ' the Minister's ruling will 'bear\ hard on" many car owners, particularly in the :country, where cars are used, perhaps, not half a dozen times during the winter •• month. Or even if.__ used more of- ten, the owners- do not feel that, such an expenditure is justifiable, when there are so many . other uses to which -the money could be put. Money is scarceand these owners would like to use their old license plates until the aummer roads come and their cars were in constant use. And others Want to trade in their old cars later, 'and do, not want to buy two sets ' of markers. No doubt the Minister of • High- ways is scarce o f money too. No ,doubt he gate consideration to these and other problems,,and no -doubt he dame to the concluicin'that the need • of the Government was more presing: = ., . At any rate the Highway Minister said that if the motorists wanted to run 'their cars after January 15th, they had to pay for new .licences or —pay a fine. It is quite evident, too, that the - motorists took' the Minister at his word. There is not "an old license to 'be seen on the 'streets, the country roads or the highways. No, not one! ,O Does not Mean a Thing To -Day Ari item taken from the files of fifty years ago, acid published in the Stratford Beacon -f erald a few days ago; 'said":One of the largeslt_grain markets Of the season was on.Tues- day, the light fall of show being im- mediately taken advantage of by the farmers.' this p elelrit ration, • Celebrate Birthday Mr. Thionic Kettle, Main • St;, anild celielra1ate ills a5tbi 'Ibitth'day on Sa!t- arday, January° • 19'th.

A heavy -fall of snow of course is different: It might block the roads ' to cars and trucks for an hour, or 'a few. hours, until the plows get out. •_. But that is all. One ..xnev= er now even hears the old saying that the snow will be good for the land in general. Snow is just snow. There was another day, however, when snow was. a ' a necessity to the people in the country, , „ Too much was a nuisance, of course; but too much was far better than not enough. • Without snow the farm- ers coald armers`could not team their logs and wood; could not mark-, et their grain, or -could scarcely travel any distance at all.

During the months of winter the sleigh had as much" advant- age over the wagon in the ease of travel as the ; ear - and the truck -now have over the cutter and the sleigh. And snow brought busi- ness to the villages and the towns and ""produce to the - markets. Business suffered for lack of snow, as it suf- fers in depression. It meant prosperity and was looked upon as healthy, toe. , But that was another day. Snow is just •snnew'••-to-day— something that we must put.. up with; not something that we anticipate for either bus- iness or pleasure . ............... • • iDa you e;ier 'knowthat'.
