The king smiled broadly, and look
ed at the little gold medal. 1t is MOTH
ing new for king to get q medal; kings
con have them by the gross. But this
kind Of q medal King George had never
had before. Perhaps no king hod ever
had one before.
1t was the medal of the Trodes

George to offend any such congress he
chooses in the future It wos presented
to him by George Gibson. chairman Of
the TUG, at on informal ceremony at
Buckingham Palace.
