LEADING STRENUOUS LIFE
[BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Recd. March. 13,. n00n.).,. . LONDON, March 12.
The veiled suggestions regarding the •'King’s health, circulated from irresponsible sources, perhaps with an insidious motive, but which have now cegs•ed, would seem to have their baselessness completely confirmed <by the strenuousness of His Majesty’s activities. It is generally recognised that these stories have no foundation in fact, but His Majesty has lately utterly disproved them? himself, by under- ; taking a round of daily engagements which might have taxed even his predecessor’s apparent tirelessness. King George’s daily official• engagement list involves sometimes six or seven audiences, irrespective of in.formal/dailV conferences with officials, with an endless routine of signing papers, and apart from engagements like yesterday’s Buckingham Pglace party ■to Diplomatic Corps. He lias now arranged a series of dinner parties at. the Palace, two of which willthp held? on March 15 and March; 17,. besides vigorous outdoor pursuits; £ ’
The Australian Associated Press understands that the King, at tecpnt shooting parties, walked for nfiles, firing out the other members oLthe party, in addition to which he has been playing vigorous tennis. . . His Coronation programme will necessitate almost daily nightly functions, and a certain amount of travelling, but there appears to be no diminution in his engagements before the Coronation weeks, which will occupy him practically., to the end of, July.'
