+ _The Advance has not always admired what Premier Hepburn may term his plain speaking. Often when he claims to be "calling a spade a spade," he appears rather to be terming it a "deminition shovel," and there is a distinction between a shovel and a spade. But in his plain speaking to the impudent agitators at Crowland, the premier spoke both boldly and welil within the mark. He is perfectly right in suggesting that the trouble at Crowland was chiefly due to outside agitators. He would have been within As man, as citizen, as ruler and adviser, His Majesty King George theFifth has won the plauâ€" dits of the world, the deep respect of all, the sinâ€" cere affection of the thoughtful ones among his people. Because the British people are fair and honest and grateful, the prayer should be sincere and universal and from the heart, "God Save the King." The man who thoughtlessly speaks against the King speaks against his fellows, against himself. Only in the one country does he so speak against the head of the nation. In Germany, in Italy, in Russia, in Spain, in most of the countries of the world toâ€"day there is short shift indeed and punâ€" ishment stern for critics of the kings they call by other names. Under the British flag there is the greatest liberty to carp and rail. It is supposed to be smart, modern, independent. It is well sureâ€" ly, at this time, to remember that common sense as well as gratitude to liberty would prompt re-! spect for liberty rather than abuse of freedom, abuse that seems as impossible as it is unfair. | All that the King getsâ€"and whether it is much or little is a matter of attitude of lifeâ€"is apparent at this time. For his unselfish devotion to the interests of his people, for his untiring efforts in their behalf, for the whole life that is not his but theirs, for the days of untiring labour, and the hours of â€"unceasing responsibility, the King has the people‘s admiration for ability beyond the usual. The King has the people‘s affection for the life of devotion in their behalf.. The King has the gratitude and loyalty of his people for whom he labours without stint. The King has the devotion of his people for the example and the inspiration of his model life so generously spent in the servicte of others. _ It is well to remember that at times the people| may have to turn to the King to save them from the tyranny and the greed of upstarts. Looking around the world where is there such a full measâ€" sure of selfâ€"government, of personal safety and} freedom as in the British Empire? From many | sides there appear evidences of attempts to en-l croach on what has been won for the common man. It is well to remember that the constituâ€"l' tional monarchy is the common man‘s bulwark’ against oppression and graft. To the thoughtful! student the system is of advantage and protection to all but the King. It is a weary grind of tramâ€" ing, of duty, of ceaseless work and responsibility | for the head of the nation. In so far as the Briâ€"| tish Empire is concerned, what the pal'roting[= wiseâ€"crackers call "this King business‘" seems to| be of advantage and profit to all but the King himself. To the average man it means permanâ€"| ance, order, security, as much liberty as is possible’ | in this life. The student of government and of|| life must be tempted to ask:â€""What doés the! King get from it all?" ," On Monday next there will be special celebraâ€" tion of the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary of the accesâ€" sion to the throne of "His Most Excellent Majesty, George the Fifth, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland amd the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor Oof India."

But have you noticed the town police uniforms the last few months? ,! For years The Advance has been repeating the fact that work is the only real cure, for unemployâ€" ;| ment. Many people have taken this same stand, 'and there is at the present moment opportunity ltox them to prove their sincerity. This is the | time for cleanjingâ€"up, brightening up, painting up. It is the time for cleaning up yards and gardens, [ for housecleaning, for a hundred and one odd jobs. ‘The cleanâ€" â€"up, paintâ€"up spirit will add to the ‘health, the comfort, the beauty of the town. The majcrity of the people of this community can afâ€" ford to spend a few dollars to have the work done. ‘There are a score of odd jobs that may be made at lthe moment. There may be ashes to move, winâ€"| Idow:> to remove or replace, many an odd job in the house, the yard, the garden. Call up Employment Service of Canada and ask that office ito send you a man for the odd job. The result is | nearly sure to please you. They know the right !ltype of man to supply for the work. You will be’ |pleased, and some man struggling, perhaps, tot keep off relief or to get off relief will be helped along in his laudable ambition. In recent years this plan has worked in excellent fashion in Timâ€" mins. It will work again this year with the coâ€"| operation of all. The Employment Service otl I Canada is very ready to help in this way and the services given are surprisingly satisfactory. I1 you haven‘t tried the plan, try it now. It is well to call upon governments, municipal, provincial and Dominion, to provide work for the unemployâ€" ed. The Advance still believes that work is the only cure for unemployment, and also that in the f end it would prove the most economical method of meeting â€"the situation. The governments, however, claim that they can not provide sufhcxem,] 5 work to completely fill the need. At the same time the governments are giving a large amouny of work. It seems to be incumbent on the inâ€" ] dividual citizen who can afford a few dollars to previde employment. By doing so he will be setâ€" ting the right example to the governments, while § at the same time proving his own sincerity when . he says, "Work the real cure for unemployment."|r 1 J' T7 ce Pis...ccitts. .A hy tm â€"sctiessd GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER § | the truth had he added the term alien to the agitaâ€" tors and the further inference that they were paid for their agitation.

Premiers of Quebec and Ontario will meet shortly ito discuss the proposed cancellation by the Ontario Governâ€" ment of econtracts between the Ontario Hydro Commission and a number of Quebec companies, Premier Taschereau of Quebec announced at Montreal this week. Premiers of Ontario and Quebec to Confer Soon And a walker could start from Lonâ€" don and walk right round, through and along the British countryside withâ€" out having to spend a single night anywhere but at a youth hostel. It would take a.long time, and he would have to be a fast walker, but it does show that the cpen air age, organized and unorganized, has reached its maâ€" jority. Now there is a "twoâ€"seater" .tent which is made of silk and weighs about a pound, and a tent which blows up with a bicycle pump and weighs, deâ€" flated, about half a pound. Bicycles may be had for a matter of two pounds, brand new. In 1933 a car mountaineering formed, to a short time. "It. is .a tent," the gentleman exâ€" claimed, and gave the whole of campâ€" ing Europe a new word. The "Itisa" tent became famous. It was the first really lightweight tent. Orders for it came from France as well as from Engâ€" land. It was the signpost of the road camping would take. In 1910 the membership reached 820. And, about this date, a gentleman, in company with a few English camping enthusiasts and one or two leading European campers, took a small parce! out of his pocket, "Lightâ€"weight camping, which m ans campingâ€"forâ€"all," said the secretary of the Camping Club, The club itself was founded in 1906, to further the idea of camping among those who did not use bicycles or moâ€" torcycles. This movement for open air leisure in Britain was cardled, brought up and seen ‘through its majority by the Jubilee years, The railways have shown they reâ€" alize how large the movement is. Walkers on genuine tours can now obâ€" tain fares at two thirds the usual rat»e. And the railways are themselves caterâ€" ing for open air vacationists by offerâ€" ing a number of railâ€"coach caravans which, complete with beds, crockery and linen, are left for their hikers in any one of a choice of sidings near the sea. has become popular. British canoeists have their own club. Caravan enthusâ€" lasts number thousands. Youth Hostels Youth hostels, modeled on the Gerâ€" man idea, are showing that the open air for leisure hours is an ideal of many. The Youth Hostels Association has in five years built up a memiserâ€" ship of 7,000. The nights that walkers spent in the lakelangq hostels in 1934 totalled â€"10,000. The total "bedâ€"nights" spent at hostels in that year numbered 40,000. The letter continues to say that in the last 25 years in the Old Country more fields have probably been desoâ€" lated, more trees felled and hedges uprooted to make way for towns‘ exâ€" tenisons than ever before; yet it is only in the last 25 years that the countryâ€" side has won its fullest appreciation. A parad:x, but true. While motorâ€" ing has grown, so also have grown rhiking. cycling ang camping; the open air has been given to the clerks, tho typists, the office bovs. Now in Great Britain â€" 10,000,000 cyclists are awheel. With 18 district associations, the Camping Club of Great Britain and Ireland has a memâ€" bership of 6,000. Spread around the country‘s finest beauty spots, the club maintains 2,000 camp sites..

" The daylight saving fad tempts the thought that so many people may be roughly divided into two classesâ€"those who appear to enjoy being foolâ€" ed, and those who certainly enjoy fooling other people. In the daylight saving matter these two classes join together to fool themselves into the beâ€" lief that by monkeying with the clock they can in mysterious way or another steal an extra hour of time. The amusing part of the matter is that a large majority of those advocating the soâ€"called daylight saving could quite easily arrange to start work an hour earlier and quit an hour sooner., the Jubil ibe] ments, "I was sorry that the innocent unemployed did not have opportunity to enjoy such luxuries."
