Shot To Health
Thousands of people, hit by
recent heavy floods in Pakistan,
owe their lives to the "miracle
injectors" 'being used for emer-
gency immunization.
More than 75,000 Karachi re-
sidents have been treated by the
pistol-like injectors to protect
them against, threatened epide-
mics al Cholera, typhoid fever
and influenza.
When the Pakistani Minister
of Health toured the flooded
areas, he ordered the instru-
ments following their inventor's
claim of, more- than a thousand
immunizations in one hour.
The injector, which resembles
a pistol complete with trigger
and barrel, does not have a
needle to carry the serum under
the skin. Using a hydraulic prin-
ciple, it shoots the dosage, and
makes a hole only slightly larg-
er than the diameter of a human
hair.
When the point is pressed
against the skin, and the trigger
pulled, a measured dose of .the
serum is shot painlessly into, the
flesh. The injector has no needle
or other equipment that requires
sterilization after each use, and
the patient's arm does not have
to be sponged first with alcohol
before the injection.

for Marilyn Monroe's walkout on Hollywood in 1955 at mid-point in her first decade in films.

That form the official Regalia of
the Britiele realm there "Iles the, crown of Queen Mary M
Modena,
A, lustrous miracle Of rose-cut
diamonds and enormous pearls,
it ranks as one of the oldest
pieces of the Regalia and has
never been worn in modern
times. Yet it enshrines the me-
Mory of a beautiful Queen Con-
sort who longed above all else
for a child who would one day
hold the British throne,
Mary of Modena was only
fourteen years old when she
heard that she had been chosen
to marry a widower who was
twenty-six years her senior, "But
who is this Duke of York?" she
asked through her tears. "And
why should he want to marry
me?"
Schooled in a convent ever
since she was nine, the lovely
young Italian princess knew no-
thing of life outside the grey
walls of the nunnery. A courtly
ambassador poured jewels into
her lap and explained that her
bridegroom was brother of none
other than King Charles II of
England,
"It may well be that the Duke
of. York will one day be King,"
he added. "And then you will
become Queen of England!"
The widower Duke—then forty
years old—had pored over the
portraits and dossiers of half a
dozen European princesses be-
fore he selected the innocent,
timid child in the convent.
The marriage was readily ar-
ranged and, in the event, Mary
of Modena was actually married
to James, Duke of York, without
seeing him. According to the
custom of the tine, the bridal
ceremony was performed by
proxy.
Then Mary set out for Eng-
land. At every stage of the jour-
ney, she wrote to the Reverend.
Mother, her heart still more with
the nuns than with her husband.
Yet Mary was to prove a faith-
ful and loving wife. She set to
work to learn English and when
she found that her husband
longed, above all, for a son who
would become heir to the throne
she soon shared his ambition.
By his first wife James already
had two daughters, Protestant
in upbringing, but a son could
dispossess them in the succes-
sion. Soon the court was in a
fervour of excitement at the
news that Mary was expecting a
child.
When it proved to be a girl,
Mary had the infant baptized at
her bedside but King Charles
insisted on an official christen-
ing with full ceremonial. "De-
spite her two half-sisters," he
declared, "she might yet grow to
be a Queen!"
It was not to be, for the baby

then began a series of baby

Again the baby proved to be .a
girl, The following year a baby
Prince arrived at last . but
not for long, It is sometimes
said that his elder half-sister,
Princess Anne — later Queen
Anne—quickly dreamed up a
fiendish means of his disposal,
As a boy he robbed Anne of
her prospects of the throne. But
Anne was just recovering from
smallpox and, either thoughtless-
ly or with malice aforethought,
she left her sickbed to rush to
the baby's side,
The nurses incurred the blame
when, instead of peals of rejoic-
ing, the bells tolled his funeral.
With ecitial folly Mary of Mo-
dena saved his baby clothes 'for
the next arrival. "Other women
give their children to the world.
I give mine to the angels!" she
consoled herself when yet an-
other baby—and after still an-
other—went the same tragic
way.
Five years passed and men
whispered that Mary's hopes of
a living son for the throne could
never be fulfilled. The issue was
becoming crucial. King Charles
died, whispering of Nell Gwynn.
James was King and Mary —
walking in golden shoes over a
path strewn with flowers—was
crowned Queen at his side.
Then, before Coronation Year
had run its course ,she jubilant-
' ly announced that, once again, a
baby was on the way. In the
coffee-houses gossips gave open
cries of disbelief. Far from Sup-
porting the Protestant succession
of his daughters, Anne and Mary,
it was argued that James wished
to foist an impostor on the na-
tion. Perhaps a Catholic baby
would be smuggled into the bed-
chamber.
The rumour of a plot was so
rife that no fewer than eighteen
peers and privy councillors
crowded into the natal room in
St. James's Palace. A gaping
crowd of sixty-seven people
jostled in the anteroom outside.
Curtains were drawn around
the bed while the officials stood
at a distance but at the first
sound from the Queen they rush-
ed to the curtains. Pitifully she
begged the King to hide her face
with his head and periwig.
Then, unmistakably, there was a
baby's cry.
The shout passed from one to
another. "A Prince! A Prince!"
The King was so delighted that
he promptly knighted the doctor
who knelt beside the bed. '
A lively, lusty infant was car-
ried through the crowd in the
adjoining room but still there
were doubters who averred that
a maidservant's new-born baby
had been smuggled to the Queen
in a warming-pan.
Next day the story took a
different turn. The real baby, it
was said, died in the night and
was replaced by a changeling.
The simple truth was that
King James had already declar-
ed his intention of rearing the
boy as a Catholic—and men
were ready to believe anything
they heard rather than accept a
Catholic successor to the throne.
Louder grew the voices of
rumour and a petition was
drawn up complaining that a
spurious prince had been foisted
on the nation. To stem the' tide
James set up a special tribunal
of inquiry.
A string of witnesses gave
precise evidence of the birth,
One witness had even seen fire
in the warming-pan that was
supposed to have held the spuri-
oue baby.
Still the nation was dissatis-
fied and William of Orange was
asked to "invade by invitation."
Married to King James's eldest
daughter (by that monarch's
first marrige) he eventually ac-
cepted the. British throne,
The rest is history. Mary of
Modena's infant son never gain-
ed the crown. At five months
old, wrapped up to look like a
bundle of washing, he was hur-
ried quietly into a rowing-boat
on the Thames and so transfer-
red to a ship for France,

The long wait is finally over
and we have another little prince.
Isn't that wonderful? I am so
glad the baby is a boy because
with two male heirs to the
throne poor little Anne will have
a better chance to lead a normal
"little-girl's" life. When Edward
VIII abdicated my greatest
concern was for the two wee
girls, Elizabeth and. Margaret.
From the schoolroom they were
suddenly thrust into, a world in
which they became heirs to the
British Crown and all the in-
cidental responsibilities that
naturally followed. Until now it
looked as if Anne, too, as second
in line, would be subject to a
strenuous life of tr aining. Now
however, concentrated prepara-
tion for royal duties will centre
more on the young princes than
their sister. I would imagine the
Queen will also be glad that her
small daughter is twice removed
in the line of succession, She has
reason to know the difference it
can make,
Of course, until the birth was
announced interest last week was
mainly on the Queen herself. I
think many Canadians felt a cer-
tain responsibility for her wel-
fare because of the strenuous
tour of Canada during the un-
comfortable heat of last sum-
mer. But now we can really re-
joice, According to all accounts
the Queen is fine; the baby is a
boy and everyone is happy.
We were busy quilting again
last week. I took my needle-
threader with me and you should
just have heard the comments
. . . "I'd do a lot more sewing if
I had one of these contraptions
. . . the most marvellous little
machine I ever saw . . . no need
to suffer from eye-strain with
one of these around." I rather
think the store from which I
bought the needle-threader will
be deluged with calls.
Another little sewing job I
undertook last week was mak-
ing "bundle-wraps" for our local
hospital. It was my first attempt
at that job and before I got the
hang of it I was almost saying
my prayers backwards. You have
to be so exact in measuring to
ensure a perfect square that I
began to think a special course
in geometry would have been
quite and asset. Bundle-wraps
are for the purpose of wrapping
surgical instruments, and, since
they are So necessary, I suppose
anyone who can sew should at
least do her Share. In my in-
nocence I accepted thirteen to
make up — about seven too
many for my peace of mind.

May had vy pretty and hearty
reception on Monday Evg.--sail.

This reception at CoWeS . was
Princess May's first taste of the
kind of public life she would
now constantly be leading as
Duchess of York. All the ships
in Cowes roads were jaunty with
flags in honour of the newly
wedded pair. Travelling down
from London with a equerry and
a lady-in-waiting, the Yorks had
been met at Portsmouth station
by the Duke of Connaught and
by Lord Clanwilliam. They cross-
ed to the Isle of Wight in the
Alberta and were ceremonially
welcomed ashore at Trinity Pier
by the Prince of Wales, his
nephew the Emperor of Ger-
many, and other royalties. A car-
riage with four horses took them
swiftly up the decorated road to.
Osborne House, where they were
received at the entrance by the
Queen herself, attended by Prin-
cess Louise, the Duchess of Ar-
gyll, the Duchess of Connaught,
Princess Victoria of Scheleswig-
Holstein, and "the little Con-
naughts & Bats."
"After a short talk," Princess
May wrote to her mother, "we
were shown our rooms down-
stairs, under those we had last
year, & opening on to the pretty
terrace. We each have a sitting

drove with Grandmama in the

Claim Rock 'n' Roll
Curbs Crime !
The tide is turning! At last,
responsible authorities are coin-
ing to the conclusion that teen-
ager and rock 'n' roll are not
so bad as they've been painted,
Far far too long rock 'n' roll
has been blamed for all manner
of teenage crimes, says the 'Me-
dical Press.' But maybe the re-
verse is the case, it points out.
"By affording a relatively
harmless way of getting rid of
surplus physical energy, dancing
may be said to conduce to lawful
and respectable behaviour," says
the editorial.
Rhythm is natural to the hu-
man being, even before birth, a,
noted Dutch psychiatrist, Dr.
Joost Meerloo, is quoted as say-
ing. The child "hear" its mother's
heart beating — at eighty to the
minute — in a syncopated two-
to-one harmony with its own —
at 160 to.the minute.
The doctor explains that epi-
demics of dancing have broken
out following wars and cata-
clysms, right through history.

There might be an increase in
