EMPIRE DAY We think of the twenty-fourth of May in Canada as Victoria Day more than as Empire Day. More and more, however, around the Rritish Empire the day is coming to possess an Imperial significance. ‘Z‘he association of the name of Queen Victoria with Empire Day is . fitting, too. It was the action of Lord Beaconsfield, first of the great Imperialists, in making the beloved Queen Empress of India that first turned the thoughts of the British people Empireâ€"ward. The Queen, whose name is kept fresh in our minds at this home of the year, herâ€" self possessed the larger vision. She not only saw a lovely, little old England living under her gentle sway but glimpsed the splendid visi- ‘on of the far-flung Empire we know to--day. It was her Diamond Jubilee celebration that first brought home the fact of Empire, in all its magnificence and potentiality, to the mind and soul of the British people at home in the Motherland. Here in this oldest of the Dominions of the Empire we shall cele- br'ate the coming Empire Day as loyally and sincerely as in any other part of the Empire. Perhaps we shall do so more fervently in future than ever. The attainment of complete equal status and its Imperial recognition, making Canada a sister nation of the Motherland rather than a daughter nation. will give an added and deeper joy to the sense of high Imperial destiny that stirs our pulses at such times. In a very real sense we are still “daughter in our mother’s house” though “mistâ€" ress in our own," but it is more the appreciation of parental selfaabne- gation that moves us so deeply than the feeling of pride that We have won our nationhood. We are better children because the old folks have so ungrudgingly recognized our growth to man’s estate. The ties that bind us to the Motherland are infinitely stronger to-day be- cause they are deeprooted in love and tender affection. “Blest be the tie that binds”. .- 4...“ :u 'mmm 1mg nevéi‘ PAGE TWO What wonderful thing this Empire of ours is: men: has nch been any confederation of peoples like unto it in the world’s history. It is a grouping together 0f nations that have come out from an origiâ€" nal stock, homing in a few little islands in the wild North Sea. To these have been added others, Such as our French Canadian fellow- citizens in Canada and the Dutch in South Africa who by reason of the larger liberty the British Empire confers on them, and the consequent higher relative position they occupy in the world’s life have become as loyally devoted to the Empire as the blood children of the mother country. Linked with these are Dependencies and Crown Colonies, all of which, it shall yet come to pass are to possess the full freedom within the Empire that the Dominions enjoy. The secret of our strength is our freedom, of our growth our powers of selfâ€"government, of our virility the democracy which char- acterises our institutions. Let us all pause as Empire Day rolls a- round again to pledge in our hearts our loyalty to the Throne, our fealty to the Empire, and our love for Canada, a love that shall in- spire us to build a Canada worthy of the Empire and an Empire wor- thy of Canada.

The careless handling of a match may set a whole community on fire, and likewise neglect to conform with the simplest rules of conduct on the part of a motorist may be attended by fire results. A recent bulletin issued by the Ontario Safety League outlines a few of these Well known rules which should be fOIIOWed. They are all rules which every motorist is familiar with, but that very familiarity may breedâ€"if not contempt â€"- a very dangerous carelessness with re- gard to their observance. Here they are: ‘ » rLAâ€" ~:.â€"..n‘l +1“, nav hohind‘ gara t0 tneu‘ Uuicl. "mm.-“ a--... -_.-‘, 1â€"â€"Before bringing your car to a 2â€"11: is better to rely on the hand signa stop light.
