KING GEORGE’S TRUST.
FOR HELP OF YOUTH
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, March 2. A cordial reception is accorded, in all quarters to the national movement launched last night by the Prince of Wales to aid the organisation providing for the welfare of youth as a means of commemorating the jubilee of the King’s accession to the throne. The Prince announced his plans at a meeting at St. James’s Palace, to which the Lord Lieutenants, Lord Mayors and Mayors of all the principal cities and towns of tho United Kingdom were invited. He said that he could think of no call that made such a universal apjjeal as the cause of youth, and he had ascertained that nothing would give Their Majesties such pleasure as the devotion of a national thank-offering to the welfare of theyounger generation. He .invited subscriptions, pennies as well as pounds, to be sent to Him, and also asked the. mayors and others to open local subscriptions on behalf of the fund to establish a “King George’s Trust.” The work will be not to inaugurate, any new juvenile organisation, but to extend tlie work and activities of the existing voluntary movements. “Youth, as I see it,” said the Prince, “needs three things to fit it for life—discipline, friends and opportunity. Those three gifts are in our power.”
