King George Sends New Year Greetings Touching and Inspiring Message from the New King to His People. At London, England, on Thursday night, King George VI issued a New Year‘s ‘greeting to his people in the Empire. The message has the ring of sincerity and should prove an inspira â€" ticn and an incentive to loyalty and deâ€" vetion on the part of all the people of the Empire. The message in full reads as follows:â€" "In this first New Year‘s Day of imy reign I send all the peoples of the Enâ€" pire my warmest wishes for their welâ€" fare and happiness. "In succeeding to the Throne I follow a father who nad won for himself an abiding place in the hearts of his peoâ€" ples and a brother whose brilliant qualâ€" ities gave promise of another historic reign. His reign was Ccut short in citâ€" cumstances upon which, from â€" their very sadness, none of us would wish to ‘over to her husband. As an apparent dwell "I realize the full responsibilities of my noble heritage. I shoulder them with all the more confidence in the knowledge that the Queen and imy mother, Queen Mary, are at my side. "Throughout my life it will be my "Throughout my life it will be my constant endeavour to strengthen the foundation of mutual trust and affecâ€" tion on which relations between the Sovereign and the people of the British Exnpire so happily rest. I ask your help toward fulfilment of this purpose, and I know that I do not ask in vain. "To repeat the words used by my dear father at the time of his Silver Jubilee, my wife and I dedicate ourâ€" selves for all time to your service and we pray God may give us guidance and strength to follow the path that lies before us."

The Montreal man, however, did not so easily leave off efforts for the securing of the return of the cash or the lady. Another attempt in the matter was made last week in the Disâ€" trict Court at Sudbury when Maceâ€" junes had an action before Judge Proulx to recover $500 from Mr. and Mrs. Bakus. The case against the husâ€" bard was dismissed, but Macejunes obtained judgment against the woman for $500. Mrs,. Bakus claims that while in Montreal she turned over $500 of her earnings to Macejunes, and that she only received this much in return, and that anyway she turned the $500 over to her husband who bought stock with it, and so she cannot pay the $500 because she hasn‘t any $500.

Commercial. The streets have been like a skating rink and on this night several small children were out ion skates. A taxi driver, unable to put on brakes quickly on the slippery surface tried to avoid these children but little Lionel Beaulac, a visitor from Cochrane fell under the wheels and was picked up by the taximan and taken quickly to the Tisdale hospital. He is doing niceâ€" ly toâ€"day, and is a very lucky boy, not to have been killed. The police have issued orders that no child may skate on the streets, The drivers of cars have all had attacks of the "jitters" owing to the youngsters being daring enough to take chances on skates in front of them.
