“The Other One,” Says Barrie Really lines The Trick
The other day a motor car driver charged with care- lessly and negligently driving his car to the danger of the public, was fined and sentenced to have his license sua- pended.
“Don’t take away my license,” he pleaded, “my living depends upon it.” '
“So does theirs” responded the Magistrate.
Some may think that we are driving too vigorously in this column, but the faith and hope of many little ones de- pend upon the response.
And it may aptly be added-so do yours.
In Barrie’s new play just produced at Edinburgh "The Boy David”, the author of “Peter Pan” seeks to portray the inner meaning and significance of David as a boy who ultimately, unlike Peter Pan, did grow up and became a man.
The author explores and sets forth the divided minds of a King and a shepherd boy.
Saul was a mighty man of valour, who broke away from his spiritual direction and allegiance and imagined that he was a reservoir of power, instead of merely an in- strumcnt.
David, with a singularly appealing naivete, recogniz- cd that it was Someone Else, acting through him.
The impression of the play which stands out most
‘significantly, we are told by the critics, perhaps, is the
youthful David’s sense of the ncarness of that. “Other One.”
It is in a measure to inculcate and develop in the hearts and minds of the little ones, whom Santa Claus may for- get, that there is “The Other One" who always, but especial- ly at Christmas-tide, makes llis presence felt, that Santa
’als arc in action.
“In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my little ones ye hnvedone it unto me”, means that hu- man instruments are necessary, hence the charter for Santa Pals. _
No one who is not moved with compassion needs to heed the appeal, but thanks-be there are more than enough friendly disposed souls in our community to see that n0 child is without a practical reminder that there is a Santa Claus, their juvenile conception of “The Other One."
Please make your choice of little ones early and ad- vise the (luardian accordingly.
Ring No. 188, if you have not. time to make up your parcel right away, and advise Santa Pal department of your intentions.
If you would prefer us to select the toys you may make .'l remittance and your wishes will be attended to.

King Edvvard’s Message, Re- nouncing Throne In Brothefs
Favor, Read In House Of Com- mons Yesterday.
LONDON, Dec. l0—(CP)—King Edward VIII abdi- cated today. .
The announcement was made by Capt. Algernon Fitz- roy, Speaker of the House of Commons.
The Duke of York will succeed his brother as King. H0 will bear the title George Vi.
Parliament will remain in session, it WZIS indicated. un- til all the necessary steps are taken for the abdication.
Prime Minister [Baldwin prefaced the announcement by telling-thc members he had"“a message from His lllajcsty; the King signed by his own hand."
THE KINGS MESSAGE King Edward's words, in renouncing thc. Throne, the Speaker read, were:
“I have determined to renounce the Throne."
“After long and anxious consideration I have deten- mined to renounce thc 'I‘hrone to which I succeeded on the death of my father and I am now communicating this. my: final and irrevocable decision."
"Realizing as I do the gravity of this step. I can only hope that I shall have the understanding of my peoples in the decision I have taken and the reasons which have led me t0 take it."
"I will not enter now into my private feeling but I would beg that it should bc remembered that the burden which constantly rests upon thc shoulders of a. Sovereign is so heavy that it can only be borne in circumstances different from those in which I now find myself.”
“I conceive that I am not overlooking thc duty that rests on me to place in the forefront public interest when I declare that I am conscious that I can no longer dis- charge this heavy task with efficiency or with satisfaction to myself.
Briiisli
“I have accordingly‘ this morning executed an instrw ment of zibdiczition in the terms following:
"I Edward VIII, of Great Iiritain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the seas, King and Emperor of India, do hereby declare my irrcrocabfe determina- tion to renounce the Throne for myself and for my descendants and my desire that effect should be given to this instrument of abdication inmzediately.”
“In token whereof I Imrc Iierezlnfo sct my hand this tenth clay of December, 1936, in the presence of the witnesses whose signatures are silbscribcd."
“Signed, PIDWAIII) Ii. l."
“My execution of this instrument has been witncsseh by my three brothers, Their Royal Highnesscs the Duke of York, the l)ukc of Gloucester and the Dukc of Kent.
"I deeply zippreciatc the spirit which has actuated the appeals which have been made to me to take a different decision and lhavc before reaching my final determination most fully pondered over them.“
“But my mind is made up. blorcovci‘ further delay cannot but be most injurious to the peoples whom I have tried to serve as Prince of Wales and as King and whose future happiness and prospcritv are thc constant wish of my heart.
“i take my leave of them in the confident hope that the course which I have thought it right to follow" is that which is best for the stability of thc Throne and‘ Empire and happiness of my people.“
“I am deeply sensible of tho consideration which they have always extended to mc both before and after my ac- cession to the Throne and which I know they will extend in fuil measure t0 my successor".
"I am most anxious that there should bc no delay of any kind in giving clfcct to the instrument which I have executed, and that nil necessary steps should be taken immediately to secure that my lawful successor, my bro- ther, His Royal Highness thc Duke of York should ascend to the Throne."
The document was signed “EDWARD R. l."
