Thoughts For The Times
The Coming Qi> The Prince
fjpy prince is among ns “a symbol of our national unity, R focus for our loyalty to t-l*P British ideals.” W.e deem it fitting to take time pff from daily labour to bedeck our streets with welcoming ornament and gay bunting, to hold festivals and make merry knowing tliaf tomorrow’s work will be none the worse for to-day’s ]ei lima to festivity. When we are foolish enough to stop the band because its music dies away into silencp without working any windmills, Hien w e may haul down our national flags to make garments out of them for the poor, Then, alas, for them whose chief surety, for our sympathy, lies in the sentiment that prizes the significance of the fluttering symbol.
