BOWLING ALLEY
IS DEMOLISHED

Demolition of the bowling alley
located on Duval street near
Front, has been completed, and
workmen started removing the
players platform and other parts
of the equipment.
The alley was started at the
beginning of last season by Jack
Cook and for time was one of
the active spots on the Duval
thoroughfare. Players began to
lose interest until it was de-
cided to close and sell the plat
form and lockers.
This was done this week and
the lumber, including the floor
ing and lockers, were sold to a
local man.

Mackenzie King presented the
city Mayor of Halifax, but before
the presentation was made, King
George was heard to whisper
"A1l right, but please cut it short.
I'm awfully tired's
The tour was not without its
serious aspects. Especially is this
true of conversations held with
President Roosevelt. While no Of
fetal release of these talks has
come, authority states that a
thorough coverage of interna-
tional economic and political 81
tuations were up for discussion.
One prominent newspaperman is
quoted as believing that the King
told President Roosevelt that
England has just about come to
the end of the rope of patience
with the Rome Berlin axis"
And now-complete rest for
four or five days. Then for the

brations to be dealt with upon the

enforce the blockade which goes
into its third day of existence
today.
Further developments in the
serious Far-east situation is a
threatened blockade of the Am

condition that will almost GER

and serve to precipitate the
whole matter of foreign action

London has sent strong mes

may be borne out by future de-

King And Queen Board Ship
On Return Trip To England
tBy Associated Press,

HALIFAX, N. S., June 15.-
A tired, but extremely happy
King of England and his consort
boarded ship this morning in this
city for the return triumphant to
British shores. The last event on
the month-long itinerary, cover
ing approximately 10000 miles of
Canada and the United States,
will be a radio message from the
Empress of Australia this after
noon, directed to the people-at-
large of both countries. The
speech will be in the nature of a

extended by government Off
Gals and laymen alike while the
King and Queen were on their
good will tour.
And it is generally conceded by
all who have been in any way a
party in the celebration held
since the landing in Quebec over
four weeks ago, that the trip has
gone far to cement cordial rela-
tions between England and Ca
NADIA and the United States.
There were those who consider
ed with some misgiving the tour
ever since it was first planned
thinking that King George and
Queen Elizabeth were poor subs
titutes for their illustrious broth
er and brother-in-law, the pre-
sent Duke of Windsor. Color
less was the generally accepted
opinion of England's King, an
opinion born out of pure igno-

Something different in royalty,
to be sure, was presented to the
democracies of Canada and the
