PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1936 PRICE: 5 CENTS ALL EMME MOURNS THE KING'S FUNERAL Joining with the people of all the Empire we bow our heads in mourning today as the last rites are being performed for the late Kins George V. In spirit we arc with those who take part in the Mlenui burial service in London. We hear the sweet voices of the choir boys as they Badly sing the mournful chants over their King who is dead. We watch the proces sion as it passes through the streets to the music of muffled drums. We also pause for two minutes of silence with the workmen throughout England and Scotland and part of Ireland as they pause in their labors and remember that their King is now being buried. They do not make it a holiday celebration but continue their work as usual at the request of their new- King. So in this striking manner we are reminded that the old order, is pawing and a new taking its place. King George the Fifth was representative of the life at the beginning of the century. King Edward Vm represents the middle of the ctntnrjr and will make many rhtnits in the habits and customs of the monarchy. We are reminded that deaths and births are a sign of progress. While we mourn the passlnr of a great King, we do so with the full knowledge that he had fulfilled his usefulness and, in the ripeness of time, has been gathered to his fathers.
