Thurston & Son, Proprietort The King is Dead Beloved Sovereign, George V, Passed Peacefully Away Monday Evening Ea^s./^' King George \ died peacefully at his home' at Sandringham, England, at 11.55 p,m. Mon- day, after an illness of only a few days. At his bedside at the time of his passing was Her Majesty the Queen, the Prine of Wales, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent. It was only Friday afternoon last that the public was informed of his illness, when he was confined to his room with a slight cold. The cold was followed with heart v\eakness and life slowly ebbed until the end came on Monday night. It was the twenty-sixth year of his reign, during which time he won the love and re- spect of his 450,000.000 subjects throughout , the Empire and the high regard of hosts of j citizens of foreign countries. At the moment of the death of George V. | the Prince of Wales automatically became; King, his title being "Edward \I1I, by the, Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and; British Dominions beyond the seas. King, de- fender of the faith, Emperor of India." The new King will adopt the name of Edward VIII, as his grandfather was Edward \1I. Not since George II died, in 1760. has a bachelor succeeded to the Throne. News of the death of King George \' was received in Elesherton Monday evening with genuine feelings of sorrow and regret, at the same time with feelings of security that the one ascending the Throne had such out- standing qualifications for the high position which he is now assuming. His millions of subjects throughout the world will show him the same devotion which was given to his illustrious father in such strenuous times as he passed through while on the Throne. As Prince of Wales the new King won a place in the hearts of his people that will never be erased. May his assumption of the Throne bring a greater measure of prosperity to the Empire than ever before enjoyed.

Edward \ ill, \va born at \\ liite Lodge, near London, on June lo, 1894, and was christened with se\en given names, Edward Albert Christian (.leorge Andrew Patrick David. He served with the Brit- ish Army in P'rafice. Italy and Egypt from PJ14 to 1918. His first visit to Canada was in 1919. when he purchased a ranch in the foothills oi the Canadian Rockies, which he still owns. In 1920 he toured \ew Zealand and Australia, and in 1921 visited India, Hong Kong, Japan and Borneo. In 1923 he made another trip to his ranch in .Alberta, while in 1924 made an "incognito" visit to the L'nited States. .\ trip was made in 1925 through West and South .\frica and then crossed the Atlantic to South America. Another trip was made to Canada in 1924, his last. WTiilc hunting in East .\frica in November. 1928, he rushed 6,000 miles back to England in thirteen days, when notified that his father, the King, was seriously ill. Eight of Twenty Die From Auto Accidents Twenty people died violently in the year 1936 in th« County of Grey and exactly eight of them met their death on the highways of the county, due directly to automobile accidents. Three of the total deaths were recorded in the city of Owen Sound. The auto accidents included head* on crashes, cars going into the ditch and people struck by cars on the highways. The record is not good by any means, but it is not nearly as bad as many of the counties through- out Ontario, and Grey County in the summer time, wihen trajf^ic reach- es its peak, has several highways on which traffic is extremely heavy, particularly on the week ends. Of the other twelve that died vio- lent deaths, aside from those in the city nf Owen Sound, four committed suicide, two died as a result of shoot- ing accidents, one died trying to stop a team of frightened horses, two were drowned, one died from injuries re- ceived while cutting down a tree one died ivom. injuries received when she fell from a chair and one was burned to death. It was a wide variety of causes that resulted in the twenty deaths, and possibly too few people realize the everyday dangers which surround them, particularly in the country where hazards are numerous as wit- ness the death of^e man by being trampled by horses and the man kill- ed by a falHne tree. Suicides are evidently unprevent- able and come in a wide variety of methods, hanging being apparently tie most popular method. Most auto acoideiita of course, could be prevent- ed. There are fewer drowning trag- e<lies than in the past, which shows the value of an educational program in regard to the proper time and place for swimming. The New Income TaxjWm. H. Fenwick Died On Monday Newspapers the other day carried two items. Some papers, by coinci- dence carried them side by side. U; reported salary increases for civil ser- vants in Ontario; the other reported plans for a new Ontario income tax to equal about one half the EJominion in- come tax. As the Financial Post ob serves, public servants are as much entitled to salary increases as anyone, although generally their reductions were less than those forced upon pri- vate business. But civil service sal- ary increases must come out of taxes. The simple truth is that, in order to pay the increases in the governmental service, private individuals in other occupations will have to keep their own belts tightened that much longer. â€" Alliston Herald. Captured A Wolf The Township of Albermarle hat< been freed of another marauder, by the capture of a large wolf by Mr. Edward Howe of Purple Valley. On Friday night Mr. Howe noticed the tracks of a wolf near his barn yard and decided to set a trap for the un- welcome visitor. On going out Sun- day morning he was surprised to see that Mr. Wolf had stepped into the trap, and Mr. Howe will now be $15 richer by the bounty that he will re- ceive fi-om the government. Mr. Howe bi-ought the skin of the animal in' the office of H. M. Newman, the wolf bounty officer, where, on exhibition for several hours, it was admired by citizens who called during the after- noon. It was noted the wolf was of such a size that when standing on its hind legs it could easily take a tall man by the throat. One hundred thousand people in Ontario will be effected by the new provincial income tax but the list is not likely to include many farmers or newspaper men.
