NEW HAZELTON, B, C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1935

At King’ 8 Silver J ubilee

Eye Witness
Fine Story.

l mu writing this on a soft green
lown of an old English garden; the
firyst red buds of rambler roses sparkle
from the old brick wall, ahd bring
lack memories of rose bedecked walls
1 A little orchard with
its apple blossoms trembling on neatly
pruned trees carry my mind swiftly
to the Annapolis Valley. ‘Tulips still
hlaze along the borders of the flower
heds, but the little English daisies be-
neath the apple trees, the wall flowers
mid primroses,bring memories only of
Mngland, for they~are as English as
the great banks of blie bells we saw
from the tvain yesterday on our jour-
ney tom Liverpool 'to London.

It was. a wouderful journey; we
shaved a carriage with Australians
who had shewn us. colored photog-
riphs of, the erent Australian red-flow
ero gum trees ;
sight which had impressed them most
on their tong journey from “down un-
ver” had been our Canadian rockies;
we had: Yaughed ut the chimney pote
of the little houses’ of the ‘Liverpool
“anburbs: had. cheered when we ‘saw
the first ‘English: “bobby” ; had got our
tirst Fubilee thrill when, as the train
rushed through Widness we had. seen
the long’ , ‘straight strects of AJittie |e
houses with’ strenmers of flags, . from
bedroom “window to bedrooni’ window,
hut it wai. the: sight of the blue. bells
massed .in” elorous color on. the railway
“ning aliesbened th: the; trees. taythe: lit
tle copses | we ‘passed, whieh | ‘told: us
that we were in ‘Wigland again, and
the Rockies and ‘the’ red-flowered gum
trees sank back into other lands, al-
most another age.

Now, in the longdrawn out English
twilight, with the scent of the’ flowers
mixing with the faint honey smell 6f
the beehives, I try to recall the crowd-
«] events of-the day, the day upon
which the King was driven by’ on. his
vay’ to St. Panis Cathedral to give
thanks for his ‘long reign ; driven, ~ by
in his state coach looking so proud and
happy ns he acknowledged ‘the. cheers
