KING'S SILVER JUBILEE
EMPIRE APPEAL WRITTEN LONDON, March 10. The Bishop of Norwich, who will preside at the Albert Hall thanksgiving service on May 8, to mark the King's silver jubilee, has written an Empire appeal which is being translated into all Empire languages for the jubilee service. He refers to the King's difficult 25 years' reign and adds: "It is everything for the Empire that their Majesties' own family life and ideals are within the range of high and low, rich and poor." PLANS OF INDIAN BOY SCOUTS GREETINGS TO RE CARRIED BY RELAYS CALCUTTA, March 10. Fifty thousand boy scouts in the Punjab Province are planning an unusual celebration of the King's silver jubilee. Scouts will assemble at their respective headquarters and 1000 picked youths from five provincial divisions will carry loyal greetings in mile relays to Lahore from the most remote areas. The most arduous trek will be from Kylang, in Ladakh, where runners will have to cross snowcovered Himalayan passes. Others will have to swim the mighty Indus and traverse the arid Sind Desert. The messages will be handed to the Governor (Sir Herbert Emerson), Chief Provincial Scout, who will send them to the King by air mail. ______________
