But it gives me courage to know that I can count on your unfailtng help and affection.
 Carry On Fathers Work ''For my part I shall do my ut most to carry on my fathers work for the welfare of our great empire.
 'Tcday the world is harassed with perplexity and fear. In this family of nations, linked by ties alike flexible and firm, we have in- < herited from our fathers a great : tradition of liberty and service. : q am confident that whatever life may bring us we shall continue . to work together to preserve this noble heritage so we may hand 1t on unimpaired to those that come : after."
 ' The kings speech was eloquent of the attitude at this coronation to- ward the man who left his throne, his people and his country for "the woman I love-.
 Passed Over Edward
 As if he had never been, his brother-successor passed over the Duke of Windsor's brief, troublous reign today and got no nearer to him than his reference to "the re- responsibilities that have so suddenly and unexpectedly come upon me-"
 The more conservative newspa- pers contained no line of the life of the duke at Monts, France, and for the moment he seemed forgotten.
 The priceless crown jewels were removed secretly in the dark hours of this morning to Westminster abbey for tomorrow's ceremony, and Scotland Yard claLlped down a "crank watch" as railroads, busses and airplanes poured more thou sands of people into London to join the hordes already tanning the streets.

 Stage Managers Nervous
 Stage managers of the coronation ceremony were nervous. A slip in the complicated ritual of crowning a king is easy, for it is on event that takes place only once in a life time.
 A high cleric who assisted in yes- terday's dress rehearsal and will participate in tomorrow's ceremony told the United Press today:
 "That was the final rehearsal and it left much to be desired. We need arother-or better still, two more to insure smoothness and preclude Slip-ups."
 But this cleric, like everyone else, expressed hope that everything would go smoothly tomorrow and the weather men, though they would not be positive, forecast:
 "Unsettled-some prospects of sunshine"
 Regardless of weather, all the scheduled state processions will be held.
 First of Functions
 The first of the gorgeous state functions of coronation week was held last night when the king and
