All over Ontario, in cross-roads centres as well as in villages and sometimes fairly large towns, the Women’s Institutes are continuing to devote themselves With all the vigor and resources at their command to betterment of conditions in the communities in which they are situated. They are doing so, not with the idea of benefitting them- selves or gaining publicity for the movement with which they are connected, but to the end that villages or other centres in which they are established may be better and happier places in which to live. WOMEN’S INSTITUTES The reports which are being presented at the annual meetings of different branches of the Women’s Institutes throughout the surrounding territory make it clear that these organizations which represent one of Canada’s great- est contributions to rural welfare and improvement, have not lost their zest for service, which has been an import- ant part of their activities since the time of their estab- lishment. We join with the thousands of Canadians that will converge at the stopping places en route and with the thousands that will cross the United States border this month, to give a warm and hearty welcome to our King and Queen. We appreciate the honour they do us. We are alert to the Royal tour’s significance. Long live Their Majesties! Englishmen under Queen Victoria came to regard the life of the. sovereign as something bound up with their own private lives, and cable and radio have since done much to extend this attitude among canadians. With this visit, hOWever, the many will replace the few who have some personal knowledge of at least the appearance of their King and Queen, this husband and wife, this father and mother, who are the human symbols that ensure to us our British way of life. No Canadian can ignore, moreover, the fact that the eyes of the world will be focused in our direction as the British Rulers see for themselves the natural resources, the industrial and agricultural development that is the heritage of this “twentieth century" country. His Maj- esty will speak from Winnipeg to all his subjects on an Empire hook-up while day-by-day accounts of the tour will be radioed and cabled to the four corners of the Earth. Our obligations will be increased in living up to a new international significance. 7 Who can gainsay that this first visit of a reigning British Sovereign to Canada will encase and strengthen those ties that bind this Dominion and the Motherland together, as perhaps no other event could? Their Maj- esties’ visit to our good American neighbours, too, is bound to cement those political, social and economic relationships which have been quickening in the reCent past. If ever there was a time when our English-speaking peoples posâ€" sessing great common ideals, should stand closely together that time is now. That Their Majesties should visit Canada in these troubled times is an honour we appreciate. How grateâ€" ful we are for the opportunity to do honour to them in our turn, is evidenced by the elaborate preparations of official and unofficial organizations and individuals up and down the country. ' Significance may be attached to the Royal Visit at this time because of Canada’s strategic position in the geographical formation of the Commonwealth. Still well- removed from European political hazards. a source of un- told natural Wealth for the Mother Country and perhaps ultimately the safest route to Britain's Far East, Canada is particularly favoured to-render invaluable assistance in time of peace and war to all the countries “marked in red”. That Canada will make her full contribution, is a foregone conclusion. Canadians have a special appreciation of this Royal Visit. When Their Majesties set sail for the North Amer-J ican continent they must do so with the confidence that there is in prospect no European crisis that will require. in the immediate future, their inspiration and counsel at home. As confidence is contagious. spirits here and throughout the English-speaking world. should receive an assurance they have long been awaiting. The King is more than the symbol of a common bond among 450 million Britishers over one-quarter of the globe. he is the visible Sign of something deeper. He signifies the spirit of that host and their institutions. a spirit de- sirous of liberty and peace but also a spirit that can be aroused to the defence of these ideals when necessary. WELCOME TO THEIR MAJESTIES We are living in history-making days. The present visit of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Eliza- beth to Canada is an event of such importance that prob- ably we overlook much of its significance. ls Week-End Sale Advertising Rates Paris AthSupply JOS.
