But there are still long lists to be provided for, and we hope there will be a con- tinuance and increase of the support which Santa Claus "rgeliilY needs to out over this Christmas-tide. Why Santa Pals? Asked some one over the phone yes- lerilllynwhy not contributors or subscribers like other or- ganlzaiions? we", lo be candid, supporters of Santa Claus at this season are something more than contributors or subscri- hers. And they are not by any means aims givers. “Take heed that ye do not your aims before men, to be 5°91! 0f them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which 1s m Heaven. Therefore when thou doest these alms, fl° "°t 501""! l1 "limpet before thee,'as the hyprocrites do m the synogogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you they have their re- ward.” Aims giving means the relief of distress, providing the necessaries of existence. ' ‘ Not a few people erroneously compare aims with church subscriptions. ~ . Thcre is nothing in common between them. Subscribing lo a church. is a purely business proposi- tion. The church must be maintained on a business foot- ing, and the members and adherents must contribute in proportion to its needs as a practical business proposition or take the nsequences of unbusiness-like procedure. The poor box, or poor fund, on the other hand-which seldom is heard of nowadays-is a means of anonymous aims giving and should not be heralded by trumpets; alas, it rarely is-except by way of protest against old age pen- sion taxation for a similar purpose. On the other hand, church members and adherents are commanded by their Master not to hide their light under a bushel, but to “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” Therein is the Christmas _gospel for Santa Pals. Don’t be ashamed of letting people know you believe in and sup- port your individual churches financially and otherwise; likewise, do not let the words of warning about aims giving restrict your generosity towards the little ones Santa Claus may inadvertently overlook. Let_your light so shine (hat others may see it, and go and do likewise. If you desire to become a Santa Pal, choose a number and name from the list below. Send your gifts to Santa Pals care of The Guardian, or telephone No. 133 advising us of your choice. ‘ Anyone who would prefer to send money to buy gifts may do so, and a balance sheet will be published as usual showing receipts and expenditure.

Married since 1923 to Lady Eliza- beth Bowes-Lyon. he has two chil- cess Margaret Rose. The former so captivated the British public that he once remarked: "My chief crim ,to fame seems to be that I am the father of Princess Elizabeth.’ While likening King Edward VIII to his spfghtly grandfather, Ed- ward VII, Ioridon of‘en has ‘noted a resemblance between the sober. studious Duke and home-loving King George V. TYPIFIES DIFFERENCE Typical of the difference between the brothers was the way they went at golf. ' Edward, as Prince of Wiles, h'red a ‘professional and nevsr lost a chance t0 get pointers from golf stars including Archie Cornpstcn, Walter Hagen and Leo Dlegel. "Bertie", the Duke erected a net in the handkerchief-sized lawn back of his London home, 145 Picad- ily, and practised strokes by thc hour. His brother had a head-start in learningto play the game-but the Duke of York advanced so quickly that In 1985 he defeated the then‘ Prince of Wales in a club tourna- ment. . In (he same slow but sure way. he took up riding and fox-huntln". “The Duke of York," Captain G. H. Drummond, his frequent host. has related, "came down to my place with two of his brothers and you can imagine my feel'ngs when we put hfrn on a hunter for a trial run round a field. Like the char- acter in ‘Jorrocks’ he sat a ho"sc with ease, elegance and firmness until the animal moved-rod then he generally fell off." KEPT TRYING But the Duke kept try‘ng and in 1929 Drummond was able to s"y: "He is as good a rider to the hounds as anyone." Stammering was. perbap=. the Duke's greatest handicap. His in- ability to speak smooth'y made him shy. sensitive and reserved.

By Guardialfs Special Wire) ' LONDON, Dec. i).—(\vednesday)-—King Edwards choice of love or Empire remained unanswered to an anxious realm early today as those who might know his decision main- tained silence. Cabinet ministers were to assemble in» formal session this morning, prior t-o an af- ternoon meeting of the House of Commons, t0 hear from Prime Minister Baldwin a re- port of his long audience with His Majesty and two of the Kings brothers at dinner in Fort Belvederc last night. If Mr. Baldwin carried away from the country retreat a final answer to his urging that the King renounce his love, he guarded carefully that answer — until formal an- nouncement could be made to cabinet and, Commons. nxracr ANNOUNCEMENT Some authoritative observers said they were convinced Baldwin may end the tense situation with a simple an- nouncement i0 the House that “the crisis is over.” These observers felt the Prime Minister might answer questions from the floor in the Commons today, but that no final statement would then be forthcoming. But. they added. if iile King's final choice had been made, it would be communicated first to a .full, formal cabinet session—nnd such a session was called for today. Baldwin retired for the night shortly after his return from ihc dinncl‘ at Fort Bclvedcre but the Duke of Kent's car returned lo the estate in the early morning hours. A cold, wintry ruin beat outside while the momenious four-hour conference was hcld in- the hcavgv-bczimed dining room 0f the Kings rural rcircai.
