Then will.be applied a coating of chipped rock and an evergreen8* planting program car- / ried out. Projects To Be Recorded Cards on which to record the Coronation tributes were sent out from Imperial Headquarters, Lon­ don, some* time ago to all Com-: monwealth countries. In Canada they were distributed through p^roviricialTieadquarters to which they- will be returned when fill­ ed in by the various Guide units, of which there are 4,500 in Can­ ada, 7wi th a membership of about ' 89,000, \ A few of these will be selected and sent on to Dominion head­ quarters, to be forwarded in turn to London. Cards will be enclos­ ed in large square envelopes nicely illustrated an colors depict­ ing various Guide; activities and addressed to “Her. Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in this Coronation Year from hpr faithful subjects,, the members of the Girl’ Guides Association”. : ■From these will be chosen at Imperial. Headquarters the cards to be presented to the Queen. And only the Queen will know which cards are ■ selected for her perusal. Complete secrecy is being pre- 7 served at every level about which c cards have been chosen “so that there will be* no feeling1 of com­ petition between, or. evaluation of, the. different records of trib- 1 ute offered,” explained Lady Stratheden/chief comiriissioner of the commonwealth, when she an­ nounced the Coronation tribute plan, ‘ Which began on Thinking Day and will Continue until the end of June. , “The Unknown* War­ rior Tomb is the feeling We want to get-into Our plan. It may be the care} you send which repre- . sents so many others, but none « of us will know”. « “Because We are sUch a far- flung Commonwealth, . with a •, great diversity of conditions and opportunities, we will each: choose dur own' offering of service”,, she -suggested.
