Never has motion picture his- tory recorded anything so specta- cular, inspiring and memorable, as the Coronation of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Eliza- beth, pictured by British Para- mount Sound News, the inaugural screening of which commenced at the Queen's afternoon.

Some idea of the enthylasm shown, which characterized this splendid occasion, was the cease- less cheering of the crowds along the route through which Their Majesties passed.

The spectacular parade of the King's Guards followed by repre- sentative regiments from almost every part of the Empire presented scenes of dazzling wonder which

roused much admiration from the endless aurge. of humanity that thranged the London streets.

But the awards to what might be termed the un- oficial community are very few, particularly when we consider the importance of the occasion. on which we might have expected a much lengthier list of honours than usually comes to this country.

But, after all, the Government servant performs the duties for which he is paid, and he performs them during working hours. Els pay is good, he receives liberal leave and at the end of his career he has the solace of a sub- stantial, pension for the rest of his years. He may point out that his career is in a set grove and he is cut off from the pecuniary rewards which come to the successful man in professional or commercial life. To this the reply is that the big rewards are only for the few. The average man-and most of us are average men-looks with envy on the assured position of the Civil Bervant, who is beset by no anxiety as to how he and his family will live when his working years are over:
