THURSTON. - Editor CANADA AT WEMBLEY At Wer.ibley, on Saturday last, un- der the P)Ost favourable ouspiccM. the Kinir, accompanied by Que»'n Mary, formally nnmed the new British Em- pire Exiiibition. The date chosen wax moi^t o pproni'iato, bein<< the fif- teenth cnnivcrs-ary of the proclama- tion of Kin? GeofKo aa^King. Those in charge are trusting to have bettor luck i:i the matter of weather, than 'hit' whit-h was voucli-.safed hist year, so that the guarantors may in at least some measure be repaid for their loB.ses, which they sustained last year. The maiii show expenses at Wembley have been much smaller than in 1924, many additional attractions are beinsr provided. Par* of the palace of en- Rine^rini; h this year devoted to hous- ing, and o-er a dozen dwellings have been se' ; p as a model villapj, which will bo of I'pecial interest to many ur- ban comnuinities that have «;ver since the war been iiufferinpr from shortage of house.-. Many interesting fvents have also been arranged for, to occupy the colossal stadium for the entiro six months a' *he c.-^hibition. For three weeks from the opening, a magnifi- cent spectacle â€" "London i". 'fended" will b* given, in which detaciiments from the royal m.irine9, the Royal Air Force, Metropoliian Mounted police â-  and the London Fire Brigade, will participate. All the latest agencies for the defence of the metropolis on land and in the air are brought into play, certainly an awe-inspiring spec- tacle, which tlie populace may well hope will never be called upon to wit- ness. Victoria day this year falling on a Sunday, there will be a Thanks- giving .Service, which the king and other members of the royal family will attend. The wind-up of the ex- hibition will bo an old English Fair, for thr:e weeks in October, on the lines of the historical St. Bartholomew Fair. Last year it was conceded by all hands that Canada made the most striking of all the displays made by the sister nations, and many thous- ands of visitor.s marvelled at the at- tractivctiess of the exhibit of her products of the field, forest garden, farm and mine, of the excellenc>.> and variety of her manufactured products. The display of apples and other fruits was not excelled by r.:.y, and the special exhibit of the railway systems were su'-h a.s to brinij encomiums on I all sides. This year, the display is even more in'iircsting and instructive. The principal new feature is a pan- aroma which shows Canada from East to West as it unfolds itself during a railway journey across the continent, certainly ^ives to the visitors a real- istic idea of the expanse and attract- iveness of the Dominion. Last year the department of Agriculture supnli- ed a statue, entirely made up of Can- adian Ijutter, of the Prince of Wales. This year a life sized effigy of the prince, al.so of butter is sure to be a centre of attraction. It represents the Prince, with feathers and toma- hawk, and tho general paraph'-nalia which h; wore when admitted to the tribe of .'-'toney Indians, who hold sway in the region of Banff, as Chief Morning Str.r. We confess we arc not enamoured of this ^dvortisement of Canada and its attract'ons. Would it not \mvj been more in nccoid with modern Conada to have represented the Prince as a yeoman, equipped to ter ranchman of Alberta? It is many tcr ranchman of Alberta ? IT is many a yeai s'nce the Stoneys laid down the tomahawk and "took up the shovel and thf hoe" on th; foothilb of the Rwkies. Nevertheless, we do not doubt tliat the statue of the prince as an Indian chief of thi great Indian tribe that farms near his Alberta ranch will command much attention. It is likely that many Canadians will take occasion to visit Britain this Humnu'i' and to see for themsclv.'8, the wonderful spectacle at Wembley, but the chief obj?ct of the exhibition will, as last year, be \o promote com- joitrw between the Motherland and the auxilary nations of th« Empire, Canada taking no secondary part. The death last week of one of the leading Britiith Admirals, Sir Duveton .Stunlu?, britig4 to light one of the Hrst naval engagements in the late waf. It was otf the Falkland Islands that Admiral Sturdee won an import- ant naval victory from the German navy. He later was in a command on the North Sea and saw active s.'r- vice in other fights thervs * • • Many a marriage goes on the rocks because a girl cannot realise that the marriage ceremony literally means what it says about forsaking all others and cleaving unto the man she that this means her father and moth- er, sisters and brothers, us truly as it dc^.? strangers. GREY COUNTY HISTOHY There has been â-  appointed by the municipal council of each municipal- ity in Grey County, a comniittC'j to secure data and write the history of their municipality, and it is the wish of the county committee that each be fully dealt with and would^ suggest that anyone knowin;? of any events or incident.? that they think would be interesting, give the same to the com- mittee in their district. The commit- tee also wish tl>-^ names of all who en- listed for the great tVnr in other un- its than the Slst,^ 117th and 248th, these we can get from the records, but many enlisted in otli.?r units and we would like full particulars as to these.
