Lenten Days

“I like the schooldays” Mack, the eight-year lad of this place said this morning, “but when Sat- urday comes, I find I’m wishing there was a whole week of them in a row!” He was about to set out on foot then with lovely an- ticipations, to spend a day at Rob’s. It is a favorite or“ g of his, and one to which he can al- ways look back happily.

We watched him go down a- long the front meadow roadward, on youngand happy steps.

“If I were you" James called after him, “I wouldn’t play a- long the creek today. You don't want to pick up another cold. “The child nodded to show that he had heard, but continued on his way. .- '

Yetwe thought, what an in- triguing place a stream is, rip- pling,c1ear these days between white banks, murmuring as it passes over a partly submerged log, passing gently over the sha- dowed pools where lurk the fin- ny tribes, singing a quiet winter time as it draws down, down, to- ward the river. And along the banks what interesting tales are written for lads -to read and pon- der—stories of many a furred and feathered visitor and , passer- by.

As it happened the activity he

and Gage chose to pursue indus- triously was one. most healthful, if it_did present its dangers as well. Given leave by Rob, always most indulgent where small ones are concerned, to “cut down the whole woods if it pleases you” they betook themselves to a fir- 'ry grove to fell trees for the logs they‘ propose to use, come vaca- tion -time in a project of build- ing near by. . . . , '

The floor of Gran-ddaughter’s playhouse in the orchard where in the sheltering trees the -blue of jays flashed this morning, is now covered with snow. And we

suspect too that September Is- land, caught cozily in the alders in the field across the creek is a desolate spot. But it is likely, though we see the children fast growing up, the summer will lead them back at times to tl~‘Ir make-believe lands again.

‘Well, we didn’t seem to ac- ‘ complish much this week, Ellen” James commented with a half- sigh at supper. “Nothing extra — no woods’ "work, no shipping -- out . . .'just the choringabout. But” he smiled on another thought “what if we hadn't been able to get that done!”

How sunny and serene the days were. Mornings sparkled in the Winter sunlight; afternoons, ici- cles d-ripped and presently rosy paths led up to‘ the far gates of the day. In the afterglow, a new moon climbed above a wooded hill and the old mill, in the twi- light to be a fetching crescent to “wish upon.”

Skies commence now to speak of the spring and the Easter sea- son ahead around the bend of weeks. We walk now the Lenten days, quietly, meditating on the everlasting truths of ancient days. ' And remember:

“Now once again the Christ keeps watch beside

The sickbed of the world; vmore he kneels ”

Within the Garden; once again he

Vicariously man's sinning as a tide

Of mighty waters, deep and d-ark and wide! ,

Do you recall as gathering night conceals

His presence, as the lengthening shadow steals 4

Across His heart, how once be- fore He cried: .

‘Can ye not watch with me o'ne hour?’ ”

Prince Of WcII

es Is A

Proud AnoI Ancient Title

Everyone who goes to Caernar- von Castle -- that mighty’ Med- ieval fortress which has been des- cribed asone of the cornéir-stones of Welsh history -- remembers the legend of Edward I and the baby Prince of ,Wales.

In 1284 the Welsh chieftains, anxious for their freedom, ask- ed the King to appoint as their Prince a man of royal blood, whose character was . irreproac:h-

‘':.the ring. of domination in them. X The King agreed and called the , ieftains to Caernarvon. There Presented them his infant

n who had Just been born in

e Eagle Tower of the castle —

_ oyal Prince without a stain on his character and whose first Words ‘would be in'Welsh. The chieftains knelt and ‘kissed the tiny hand, and the baby was carried on a _sheIidl to the cas- tle- gates to be proclaimed be-' fore the) people as “Edward, Prince of Wales.” y Prince of Wales‘! For over 650 K years that proud title has been conferred on the eldest son of the SOVBTYSH. and it carries with

mous scene at Caernarvon but of such staunch defenders of Welsh

FUCHS NEARS GOAL

WELLINGTON, NZ. (Reuters) -- British explorer Vivian Fuchs reported Tuesday night his trans- antarctic team was approaching the halfway point on its 110-mile trip from Plateau depot to Skel- ton depot, which is‘ 180 miles from Scott base and the end of

liberty as Llewelyn the Great and wOen Glendower. It brings to mind, too, the close links be- tween the Royal family -and the ancient principality, for Elizabeth II has Tudor blood in her veins and the House of Tudor, to which Elizabeth I belonged, sprang from the marriage of the Welsh clans- man Owen Tudor with Queen Ka- tharine, widow of King Henry V, about the year 1425.

In 1911, the eldest son of King George V —- later King Edward VIII and now’ Duke of Windsor — was invested as Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle with traditional ceremony. Among the Crown Jewels, » which everyone may see at the Tower’ of London, is the crown of the Prince of Wales, which is of solid gold with

a coronet.

Sinc e the accession to the throne of King Edward. VIII in 1936, there has been pd Prince of Wales —'= or, to be exact, the princedom has been invested in the Sovereign. That is because neither Edward VIII nor George VI had a’ son. Now‘, however, there is once more an heir appar- ent to the throne ;. and thepeople of'Wales,' and indeed of all the Queen’s realms, look forward to the day when, it is confidently ex- pected, the Queen will confer the title of her son, Prince Charles. That young boy already holds several titles, including the duke- doms of Cornwall and Rothesay, for these -are automatically held by the oldest son of the mon- arch; but the proudest title of all can only be conferred by the dir- ect act of the sovereign. Perhaps it will not be so very long before Wales has a prince again.

78 Great George St.

Lewis Roberts of the British Travel Association has written an article on Wales which appears in a recent Toronto Saturday night. It makes for good reading at any time, but especially on St. David’s Day.——

“Yimwelwch a Chrymrru” 'may look like a lot of pied type Canadians but to a.Welshman- It means “Visit Wales.” The Can- adian who does ymwelwch ‘a Ohymru for the first time will undoubtedly be amazed at the strangeness of it all, for Wales is indeed Britain’s most “foreign part}:

In spite of the fact that the Welsh and English have lived to- gether as peaceable neighbors and partners in government for hundreds of years, the Welsh still regard themselves as a nation quite distinct from the English; They have managed to keep alive their own traditional language — a distinctive Celt-ic language and the language is spoken and writ- ‘-ten by thousands.

E Even the name of this tiny coun- try. Wales, or Wealas as it was -originally called, means land of foreigners; When Anglo - Saxon conquerors over-ran Britain in the sixth and seventh centuries, the surviving British sought ref- uge in the‘ area of mountains in the west and the Saxons named ‘it Weala-s.

This year the expatriate Welsh- men in Canada ( and there are many of them) will be wearing his leekior daffodil on St. David’s Day (March 1st) with a particu- larly proud air; for 1958 is a year which will be marked in the history of this delightful princi- pality. One‘ of Euro-pe’s major .e- vents of 1958, the Festival of Wal-

on a holiday trip to Florida.

Miss Susan Clark, young daugh- ter,of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Clark, entertained her school friends on Wednesday afternoon at a birthday party. A very pleasant afternoon was spent with games, singing and dancing. ,

Mrs. Cyril Kenny, Harvard St., entertained friends at bridge on Friday evening.

Mrs. Fred Bell returned to her home in Summerside on Monday after spending the past week in Halifax visiting her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. 13 11- ald R. Smith.

A’ fanfare of trumpets will pro- claim the ina-ugeration and the Red Dragon national emblem of Wales, will be unfurled beside the ‘British Union Jack on the ancient castle towers and modern civil halls throughout this land of Fes- tiitals.

The Games, July 18th to 26th, -have a special importance for Ca- nadians because the first of the present ‘series, although there were earlier predecessors, was held in Canada — ht Hamilton — in 1930. They are held only once in four years and the invitation to act as host country to the ath- letes of th-e many different na- tions comprising the Empire and Commonwealth family, is re- garded as a great honor. The British Travel Association, official information centre‘ in Ca- nada for Wales, has made avail- able the programs of both the Festival and the Games in a free spec-ial “Holiday in Wales” plan- ning kit — which also includes a guide book, map, general tra- vel information and helpful facts on transportation and hotel ac- commodation. This can be obtain- -ed free of charge by writing to B.T.A., Dept W.F., at 90 Adelaide St. W., Toronto. ‘ '
