SOLDIERS LIKED THE PRINCE
Heir to British Throne Fond OF Min
Cling With the Fighters, When
He Was Permitted.

In the front lines Canadian soldier
was building a Ere one cold night OF
late autumn. Out of the night behind
him came footstep. He turned. and
became doubly alert when he saw that
the man was not an officer of his regi.
mont. The visitor approached the
blaze. held his hands out over If and
said:
"Tms fire certainly looks good to
me-
The tone was pleasant enough, and
suspicion was almost unarmed when
the voice went on:
Have you wood enough? If you
haven't I'll get you some more"
The fire builder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained. but
there had been special warning
against strangers not of ones own
regiment. In response TO it he was
about TO question the newcomer close
~. when an officer whom he did know
came within the firelit circle and ad'
dressed the stranger:
Your royal highness, it is best that
you return 10 the automobile at once
And the prince of Wales reluctantly
left the fire and returned 10 fireplace
where he officially belonged. 1t was
not the first time he had left that place
of his own accord aud gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
tells the story learned afterward that
the princes staff had its hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
aud mingling With the men on their
own ground.

Belding Banner-News,
Belding, Mich
Dear Sir
/ see by your papers
dated December End and 9th that
the Bedding High school coach, Mr..
Shand, told of some of the needs of
facilities and equipment for athlet-
ic work in this city.
AS a member of the Bedding High
School Alumni ! fully think that the
school has not been given just at
tention along this particular line.
In the first place the townspeople
do not back the teams enough, by
getting out and boosting for the
home team at the games, and show
ing their interest in what is going
on.
Secondly, the school should not be
without a fully equipped gymnasium.
Towns of half the size have better
facilities for athletics than Belding.
The small town of GAINESVILLE is
backing their team in basketball to
the extent of hiring a store building,
in which to play, and hiring coach
from Grand Rapids to come there a
couple of times a week to give the
team instructions.
In order to get a gymnasium, why
would it not be good plan to build
a new High school building in the
second ward. This would take care
of the growing needs of more room
for the high school grades and a
gym. Then use the present high
school building for a grade school.
know from experience that the pres
ent high school is not large enough
and it will be only matter of short
time before there will be a call for
new high school building.
understand that there is a move
ment on foot to organize an ath-
lectic boosters club for Bedding and
/ sincerely trust this will be start
ed at once. And that the business
men, Alumni, school students and all
other people that are interested in
athletics, will get behind this move
