...threatened to deny George V's representative the royal salute. It crashed and thundered as Royal Canadian Dragoons saluted in Dr. Bruce by a legal fiction "the person of the King." Admirers of "Mitch" had expected him to bar the Lieutenant Governor from Ontario's Throne. Instead dignified old Dr. Bruce, with radiant young Mrs. Bruce on his arm (see cut), entered the Legislature not only unmolested but followed at a respectful distance by spat-wearing "Mitch" with his New-Dealing smile. Then began the traditional mummery which the New Deal Premier had explicitly sworn...
With Dr. Bruce firmly seated on the Throne, Provincial Secretary Harry Nixon addressed Ontario's Legislators with the proper viceregal arrogance: "I am commanded by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor to state that he does not see fit to declare the cause of his summoning the present Legislature of the province until a Speaker shall have been chosen according to law, but today at a subsequent hour His Honor will declare the cause of his calling this Legislature...

Although they fail in the attempt, their remarkable loyalty and indomitable courage is faithfully reproduced in this picture. Perhaps a bit remanticized in treatment, it nevertheless has captured the quiet heroism of these men as they succumb to the firing squad in the brilliant uniforms of the Graude...
...disposes of the theory that the rites were imported from Egypt. Also cleared last season was the 14th Century Palace of the Rulers, where the Goddess was supposed to have taken refuge. An object of search and speculation for 25 years, the palace revealed one room closely resembling the throne room of the Palace at Knossos. Broken pottery and crude clay figurines were found. Final task was clearing the well beside which the goddess rested. The diggers were hopeful that it contained a wealth of objects of art, found it had long ago been rifled, was empty...
