King Of England has got a country
home, and. like ali other well-to-do
or rich gentlefolk in all the countries
in the world. he'll come here to rest
this summer.
All the village will be glad to see
him. just as all village folks, wher-
ever there are rich country homes,
are CAD to see the summer visitors
return
In Windsor the King can see what
his people are doing for him. iH
London. Of course, he may see the
same thing. but here in little Wind

touched It to the quick. In Windsor
people know the King and Queen and
the royal family. know them person
ally. and the King and Queen and
the royal family know them. SO wnen

fittings that the troops accredited to
