It is gratifying to know that Their Majesties, after having crossed the country. appreciated its greatness and the spirit of its people. Canadians too have seen their King and Queen in the every day associations of life, and they have become more deeply attached to them and they will sing with greater fervor than ever before, “God Save the King.” It has been given to few persons to make a trip across the country under such favorable auspices as Their Majâ€" esties enjoyed. They have not only seen the country, with its rivers, great lakes, cities, towns and hamlets, the rolling prairies, the foothills, and the Rbcky Mountains, but they have also witnessed the unprecedented demon- strations of loyalty for the Crown. It was only fitting that as he stood in view of the vast Pacific Ocean, the western boundary of the Dominion the King should ex- press some appreciation of his wonderful Visit. “When I remember that here I am as far from Ottawa as Ottawa is from London,” he exclaimed, “I realize something of the vastness of Canada. When I saw the broad plains changed by the pioneers to the uses of man, and the mighty mountain ranges through which they cut their roads, I began to understand the_qualities of the Canadian people.” Although there have been some 90 traffic accidents of one kind or another in the Sault since the first of the year, there has not so far been one at the schools and the police are inclined to give a large share of the credit for this to the school boy patrols which have been organâ€" ized at three of the public schools where there is heavy traffic.â€"â€"Sault Ste. Marie Star. Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific readily discerned the fine tact and insight which characterized the King’s speeches while in Canada, but they especially appreciated his address at Victoria, the gateway of the Pacific, after he had concluded his journey from the Gulf of St. Lawrence through the entire Dominion to the Pacific Ocean. It was not only an enjoyable experience for Their Majesties, but it proved to be a wonderful education re- garding the extent and resources of this vast Dominion and the spirit of its people. During the past few weeks all the networks of the world including the huge chains in the United States, have depended upon the CBC for full coverage of every impor- tant public appearance of two of the most important peo- ple on earth. Sole responsibility of this task of carrying the voice of the King to world audiences and giving the graphic story of the triumphant Royal progress across Canada was assumed by the CBC. Whatever opinions might be held about the Corporation, it must be admitted that the tremendous job of broadcasting the Royal visit was accomplished in a very satisfactory manner Months of intense preparation with provision for all the emerg- encies and special problems bound to arise in an under- taking of such magnitude, reaped a reward in the fulfil- ment of a difficult task and the appreciation of radio listeners who followed Their Majesties’ tour across the continent. While we do not like paying“ a $2.50 license fee for our radio any better than anyone else and while we do not approve of many of the actions of the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation we must give credit where credit is due and say that the CBC deserves commendation for the broadcasts of the recent Royal visit. One of the biggest tasks in broadcasting history was handled with ability and discretion. The determined stand of the British Government a- gainst the dictators, and the apparent backing down of Hitler from his aggressive moves had a great deal to do with the banishment of this disturbing war dread. But as far as Canada is concerned, the visit of the King and Queen has been even more effective in its influence on the public. Canadian citizens have been so absorbed in the Royal Tour, there has been little time left to worry about what might happen in Europe. The trend toward better business has been in the makâ€" ing for two or three months. of course. but it is interest- ing to note that the situation has become markedly better since the public mind has been rid of war fears. There are plenty of other signs in sight to back up this inference. One of the largest baking companies in the province has had to step up production sharply in the past two weeks to keep up with the demand. For the first time in several years, the employees of this company have had to work overtime to get orders out. It doesn’t take very much imagination'to foresee what the effect of this manufacturing expansion is likely to mean to the province generally. The increase in factory payrolls should increase the consumption of farm products this fall. And then comes the cycle, with the farmer turn- ing back some of his surplus to the manufacturer for new equipment for his farm and his home. The inference to be taken from this bald report is plain. Unmistakably, Ontario leaders in the manufactur- ing field can see increased markets ahead, and they are preparing to get their share of the new business. This total might be passed over Without much notice, were’it not for the comparison that goes with it. The ex- act total for May this year was $1,897,000. For the same month last year, the total was only $180,600. BROADCASTS 0F ROYAL VISIT WELL HANDLED Business generally according to unmistakable signs is on the upâ€"and-up and it’s definitely moving in the right direction. Building reports for municipalities as near to home as North York township show record activity and what might be termed the most significant sign of the past few weeks came from the factory inspection branch of the Provincial Defartment of Labor last week. It revealed that the Department has approved nearly two million dollars worth of plans for new factories or additions to existing factories and office buildings dur- ing the month of May. J.

TELEPHONE 9 THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD. “THE LIBERAL” Last Saturday evening a pretty wedding took place at Newtonbrook 'United Church Parsonage when Miss Minnie Bottrom‘ley of Toronto, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. H, Bottomley became the bride of Albert Archi- bald Campbell, son of Mrs. Camp- bell and the late Jerome Campbell of King.

Richard-son of Toronto sup- ported the groom. After the cere- rmony the happy young couple left on a honeymoon to Northern 0n- tario. On their return they will re- side at the Campbell homestead at Kinghorn. At the close of the evening a. talk was delivered to the cubs by their cub master, Russell Robb, who stressed the importance of living up to the cub law, promise and motto during the holiday months. On be- half of the boys, the cub master thanked Mr. and Mrs. Kitchener for 'their assistance in making the even- ing a complete success. The Wolf Cubs of the lst Wood- bridge Pack closed their season’s work on Friday evening by having a weiner roast on the farm of Mr. Kitchener, north of Woodlbrid‘ge.

The Sunday services in connection with the Sunday School Anniversary were ail that ‘could be desired. The day was fine, beautiful flowers in profusion decorated the church, and the Junior choir assisted by Miss Thursa Boys added to the success of the morning service, while the Zion Lutheran choir gave excellent singing at the evening su‘vicc. Rev. Westcott of Temperanceville was the guest speaker at both services. In the morning his subjec; was “My Church" and in the evening from the words “I keen the Lard ever be- fore me.” Splendid congregations attended both services. There will be no service in Teston Church on Sunday next, the 25th, it being Union Communion Day for the circuit and will be heldvin Laskay Church at 10.30. ‘Teston friends of Fred Kruska felt very sorry to hear or his pass- ing on Monday last.

The funeral was held‘ from Lawrie’s Funeral Parlors Tues- day afternoon to Zion Lutheran Ce- metery at Sherwood.

An old-timer is a fellow who re- members he could- buy a pound of steak for a dime, but forgets he had to work an hour to earn the dime. Mrs. H. Farr and Mrs. T. Wither- spoon sang a beautiful duet after which hymn 3‘99 and 1 verse of God Save the King were sung. Mr. Bow- man closed the meeting with prayer after which the hostess and com- mittee served‘ lunch. We were also glad to welc‘Ome some visitors to our meeting. Son’s Question â€"â€" How fast will she go? The June meeting of the W.M.S. of St. Paul’s, Vaughan was held at the home of Mrs. J. McGillivary with the President presiding. The meeting opened with a hymn and sentence prayers and the Lord’s prayer in unison. The Scripture reading was taken from the 12th chapter of St. John followed with prayer by Mrs. L. Egan. Roll call was answered by the word Lift. Mrs. L. Egan. Mrs. T. Witherspoon, and Mrs. Bowrnan gave splendid papers and talks on the 4th chapter of the study book, the lower castes, and untouchables of India, and what the Christian teaching has done to raise the standard of living in India’s lower classes. At the first house an angry wife complained: _“It’s‘ been two weeks since my husband applied for relief. And not a thing done about it! He just couldn’t wait any Yonger, so he had to go out and1 get a job.” At the second house, the applicants had not been forced to the dire extrem- ity of seeking work. The husband was still at home, but he was very much vexed at the department’s de- lay. He demanded of the relief inâ€" vestigator: “Is this the service you provide taxpayers in our city?” The Printed' Word tells an amus- ing little story about a relief in- vestigator in a Canadian. city. who was recently sent out to examine two cases where relief had been ap- plied for, but where, through deâ€" partmental oversight. no action had been taken. F. W. McCarthy, of Beeton, claims to have the oldest clock (running) in the province. It is all wood except one wheel, is run by weights, and is in a good state of preservation and keeps perfect time despite its age of 118 years. A work of ancient art, the clock was made in Connecticut by a manufacturer named' Terry. ALL KINDS OF SHEET METAL WORK One of the biggest tasks in broadâ€" casting history is being handled with ability and discretion by the Canad- ian Broadcasting Corporation.
