No Holiday Matter CANNOT blame the children of the schools WE of Prince Rupert if they accepted lightheart-edly and with little, if any, appreciation of the occasion the sudden holiday they were granted Wednesday soon after the sessions for the day ofiened because the King had died. - " If we had been children ourselves we would, "doubtless, have felt just as happy about the unexpected break. After all, a holiday is a holiday, no matter how it may come about. That is why we fail to see the point of the Department of Education, in its wisdom or lack thereof, of precipitately calling it a day and sending the children home as soon as . possible after hearing the King had died even though school was already in session. " So it was the day of the King's death became just a period of carefree relaxation with little -,thotight or concern of what it was all about al-" though teachers had explained the reason. : . . Much better it would have been, in our opinion, ."if schools had been left in session and the teachers permitted to give a lesson under quiet and appropriate circumstances in current history and social studies, emphasizing the significance of the Crown, the things for which it stands and the symbol which it is of democracy and good citizenship in the highest sense of the word. In fact we think it was almost a disrespectful ..action on the part of the authorities (the holiday order came direct from the Department of Education) and a most obtuse and inept method of observing an occasion which most of thinking citizens-were 'accepting with a sense of shock and sorrow. ' ' The for is that the only thing we can hope now 'Department of Education, when the day of the King's funeral and national mourning comes, will se to it that provision is made for a fitting and mandatory observance of rites which will effectively -bring home to the young people the lesson and moral which might have been taught yesterday but Was allowed to be missed by granting precipitate surcease from a day's study and work. The death of the King, we think, was far too symbolic an event than to be merely an occasion for 'the young folk, as they did, to "go on the town." ; If the schools were to be dismissed, there might have been other institutions that could have also been closed if we were really meaning to effect a solemn tribute of esteem and respect to a beloved monarch. 4, , -5 r'tplurc jfaMagc for Jodatf "Children, oboy your parents in the Lord."

When morning dawns at BraunPoinUlm, Now, there behold a sight; When the sky is red a scarlet hue. And a new day begins to lifiht. When the robins arrive at BraunPoinUlm, And myriad birds are on the wing; And the plac quivers with our feathered friends, It's a sure harbinger of Spring. When the day is bright at BraunPoinUlm, And the s-ea is calm once more; It's a thrill to observe all the boats ply by, To and from Prince Rupert's shore.

When night descends at BraunPoinUlm, And the day ends with varied chores; I sure enjoy a peaceful rest, On Digby Island shores. RUDOLF BRAUN. G.E.
