It will be tragic if revelry becouses the dominant note in the Coronation celebrations as the British Empire was never more in need of disciplined thought and action than it is today. Whatever one's opinion about the Hitler regime deeply impressed by his call to the youth of the cannot fail to be

the nation and their almost spiritual response. No man is ever good for much who has not boen carried off his feet by enthusiast between the ages of 18 And 25. The Church has set itself a high and perhaps hard task in eudeavouring to recall the nation to service. When a man talks loudly against religion it is usually his passion and not his reason which have got the better of his creed. We are turning over a new leaf in the Empire Book of Monarchy and while joy in doing so is not out of place it should be tempered with a full realization of the solemnity of the occasion.

A good Coronation thought would be to purchase British goods where it is economie to do so. A case in point is Wakefield- Castrol Motor and other oils. They are 100% British at reasonable prices and most of the profit goes to the nation either by taxation or through the generosity of Viscount Wakefield. The record breaking achievements with which these oils are associated suffic qntly prové their superior quality.
