They :seein to believe that a powerful | throne is an asset in these parlous days. The Belgians don’t want any ‘dictator, but should it become ‘necessary for them to have one, it {will be the king if the present po- ilitieal bosses have their say. When King Edward raised his; jhead a bit and tried to be a little more of a king than prescribed by Hoyle, ultra-conservative Premier, Stanley ‘Baldwin and his cabinet used the big stick on the thinking ruler. He escaped from his difficulty by abdicating. Leopold II of Belgium was cata- pulted into the kingship in 1934 through the sudden death by acci- dent of his father, King Albert. He had traveled extensively, his trips ineluding the Belgium’ Con-; go and the Dutch East Indies. And he speaks French, German, Italian, English Swedish. He had served through the World war as a common soldier, and thereby acquiring a close acquain- tance with his people and endear- ing himself to them. When he was 25 he had become a senator, and frequently had taken the floor to discuss weighty subjects among the grey haired members of that august body. People Like Him The reception accorded him re- cently during a visit to the miners of the Black country, was the most enthusiastic of its kind ever witnessed in Belgicm. It was an endless ovation from the work- ers and their families. Leopold inspected new works which are under way to protect homes against river floods and sinking grovnd, In at least one instance he took up a complaint and, after investigation, promised to have the trouble righted. $10.00 FREE If We Can't FIX YOUR RADIO REPAIRS—Not Excuses GUARANTEED SERVICE Yates Service Station Ladies Free, Phone 525-J White at Catherine a RR a RTE TS free- | Flemish, | BRAVO, CASTILLO, VARELA MAD@ ADOPTED SONS; PLAQUE PRESENTED PRES.
