MAURICE SEES THE KING
; Little Maurice Macelenchuk is eight and lives on a farm at St. Hubert, on the outskirts of Montreal. For weeks before the Royal visit he had heard his parents talking about how they would take him to see the Royal procession when it passed through the city, but when the great day came they decided that they could not afford the journey. So Maurice made up his mind to go alone. Bright and early, while his father and mother were .working in the fields, he .got out his tricycle and away he went. For 12 miles he pedalled away, and when he reached the city it was noon. He was spellbound by the vast crowds and the flag-bedecked streets, and it was while ho was pedalling along looking up at all the decorations that the wireless police noticed the little fellow and asked him where his parents were. They were astounded when he told them about his long journey to see the King, and were so touched by his determination that they made sure he watched the procession from a splendid position, and then made arrangements for him to be taken home.
