As they bury King George the Good today, we think, however, beyond the personal aspect. In our mourning tribute we pay respect not only to the King as an individual, whom we do well to honor in the fullest degree, but to a tradition which we hold dear and a symbolism which binds us together. Perhaps no other custom than that of clinging to the democratic monarchy could more effectively maintain our unity. While it is fitting that we should mourn with restraint and respect we need not lose ourselves in sorrow or impose our grief unduly upon others. A good King is gone long before the allotted span hut the world and we are the better for his reign and the example of this quiet, unassuming and Holier ItliK'k Prince Rupert. B.C. ray...
