At the age of 14 the Duke of York was sent to the naval training college on the Isle of Wight, where, in spite of his family, he was given no specie] privileges. The Duke has never been overly strong, and it took great courage to rennin there and submit to the rigors of a naval training school. Later he went to Dartmouth and then to sea on EMS. Collingwood. During he war he served on the Collingwood in the battle of Jutland where he was mentioned by Jellicoe in dispatches. After the war he went to Cambridge, and graduating there he married in 1928. Contrary to a number of Royal meninges, this was a love match. From the union there are two daughters, Princess Elizabeth, age 10, now heir presumptive to the throne, and Princess Margaret Rose, darling of the masses. The Duke, while not so widely known abroad, is loved at home in England where he is known for his quiet and un- Names-end 10an heye' amps. “he demon- strated his dislike of telatrtreonaeitiuaneat, by mingling with his boy 33313, and mixing with sons of factory workers and noble- men e. "Bertie" " he is affectionately called by the family, early showed the characteristics which made him appear s nonentity to the bulk of his new subjects. He is a quiet domesticated personage, human and sincere, not given to the spectacular deeds for which his brother was famous. The difference be. tween the two can beat be shown by the way in which each took to golf. Edward employed the best instructors and quickly established himself as a fair golfer. The Duke of Yprk set up a net in his back yard and daily practised his shots until in 1988 he defeat-ed Edward in a club chamnionship match. 1 “A____:1a.u “- ---- Born at White Lodge, Windsor Park, on December 14, 18%, the new King was brought up in surroundings intended to mate him t.JrityAt penance. The new King and Queen have gone quietly on their way and in a most undemonstrative manner have ful- f1lled the heavy obligations demanded of them. They face a very dimeult situation but we feel conf1dent that they will rise nohly to their new responsibilities and discharge their duties in the same God-fearing way as that in which they have met life's lesser demands. Our prayers and Si",',') Wishes greet the new rulers as they also follow in Edward on the road that he has chosen to walk through all the years. As a people, Britishers the world over will lament the abdication of a beloved monarch and the eireum, stances that led up to so momentous a step. But there is already a growing conviction that it was the only thing for the King to do. That he should take as his pnrtner on the throne a twice-divorcetx woman is to the great mass of citizens a thought inconce vable. The whole social fabric of the Empire would have been torn asunder. At the same time there is universal regret that his affair with Mrs. Simpson has led to such stupendous happenings. We are, however, not entirely without comfort in this national crisis. As Duke and Duchess of York the new King and Queen are firmly enshrined in the hearts of the British people. Their happy, unblemished domestic life, their boundless energy on behalf of the under-privileged, their wholesome kindliness, have won golden opinions. Their personal lives have been beyond reproach and they bring to their exalted position the finetrt traditions of both English and Scotch. Not the least factor in their popularity is their possession of two charming little daughters. one of whom becomes heir to the throne on the accession of her parents.
