Monday, August 28, 1944 EDITORIAL GENTLEMEN, THE KING So long as the British Commonwealth of Nations has such monarchs as His iMajesty King George VI we will never turn from a monarchy. No finer tribute could be paid a king than the following, contained in an editorial carried in the Italian edition of The Maple Leaf, published for Can adian troops in action: I Shakespeare, in the days when the business of being a king was a trifle difficult, suggested that, g royal heads were usually uneasy. This uneasiness j ; wa3 largely due to the fact that, at that time, kings : ft nau a habit ot conducting themselves in a manner most annoying to their subjects. Today, the man who is King George VI of England should have no uneasy moments. Ascending to the throne under difficult circumstances, His Majesty has come to be loved and respected by his sub- He has shown himself capable of facing trying fjects. situations, of appreciating the problems of his people. He has evidenced a keen interest in the affairs of the Commonwealth. King George VI has attained new stature as a monarch in wartime. When sacrifices have been necessary, he has made them along with his subjects. His cheerful confidence, his reassuring personality have helped the peoples of Britain through their most trying times. But it is with soldiers and sailors and airmen that King George VI feels at home. George was the "Sailor Prince," a man who saw action in the Battle of Jut-" land. He knows war and the men who fight wars. And he had made a point of seeing for himself that all was well with his fighting forces. .King George has been in France, in North Africa feand now in Italy with the men and women of His iMajesty's Service. He has inspected them, talked with them, presented brave men with medals and ,hi3 visit has meant more that a little to men fighting , a tough war in a tough country. God Save The King. ' UNITED VOICEiNEEDED The Daily News is. gratified over the editorial support the Evening Empire in its Saturday edition gave the Chamber of Commerce effort to have business at the grain elevator revived. The newspapers can do much to bolster the petitions of the Chamber of Commerce but the mass-of the local population and organizations must raise their voices, pass resolutions of support and send them on to authorities. No matter what the projects are so long as they are for the city's betterment and the country's good as a whole they must be well supported if they are to be brought to fruition. With only a few exceptions, it matters not in what order they are proceeded with. The big thing is to start the ball rolling for Prince Rupert, Terrace, the Hazeltons, points east and the entire country adjacent. mUc&t BOOKS ON MUSIC VICTOR I00K OF THE STMPH0NY Br Ckarlt O'Coanell contain, interett log riplaoirioo of ih iilllinfill of lb modern orchestra-fscte of lb it of treat nun in music, and annotations on tb. great composition. 642 pages.
