While they largely suppressed pictures Of the Duke of Windsor, they appar- ently gave an order that no day must pass without pictures of royal ty, especially the King, Queen and little PrinceSseS. The result was that, so to speak, every time roy- alty sneeSed, out came Q picture,

 The present King hopes that time and the tests that time brings will make history repeat itself and that he. too, will strengthen the ties be. tween sovereign and people and be- come rooted In their deeper afIec. tons.

OTTAWA. July 24-Canada's two
coast lines, Atlantic and Pacific, have
long been focal points for lovers of
boats and boating. During the Sum-
mer season there are special cruises

pleasure of deck and lounge, but for
the sense of freedom which takes

on the long Atlantic waves while the
dim Nova Scotia coast draws nearer
and nearer. revealing headland and
cape, reef and island. Into the line
OF vision drift the quaint fisher
villages and hamlets, with boats at
anchor or scuddlng under full sail

leads along the Fundy shore, where
New Brunswick looks across the water
to It's sister province, or along the
gulf, where Prince Edward Island
