Informal :Greeting of War
Veterans at Ottawa Unprecedented
The unexpected frequently 'happens
in radio 'broadcasting. The Royal visit
is provingno exception. First of all,
at Quebec, due to -the :delayed arrival
of the R.M.S. Aus'tra'lia bearing Their
Majesties to Canada, schedules that
had been 'carefully planned' during
many months :had to be revised. Then
there was the mernoralble Sunday in
Ottawa when the Xing unveiled the
'beautiful 'memorial . to Canada's war
dead. The Canadian Broadcasting'Corporation had made arrangements
to broadcast the event from ,beginning
to conclusion—'but the sign -off was
scheduled to come not later than 112
o'clock noon. The King and Queen
themselves set awry •the well -lard
Plans of the CRC, 'When Their Maj-
esties did the unprecedented thing of
stepping down into the .crowd of
cheering war veterans, the OBC 'com-
mentators were as amazed as were
the members of the accompanying
official party. put they kept on talk-
ing, describing to 'the thousands Of
eager listeners, who could not be pre-
sent on the history -making occasion,
the remarkable sight as the youthful,
dignified sovereign .and his smiling
and gracious consort moved about in
the milling throng, shaking hands
with ex -soldiers and ,chatting with
blinded or maimed veterans.
So dense was the crowd it was irn-
.possilble to move about with micro-
phones - to catch Their Majesties'
words of encouragement and cheer.
Throughout the half:'hour, from the
end of the official ceremony until the
King and Queen entered their open
car to drive away special microphones
that had 'been .placed in strategic loca-
tions in order to pick up the music .af
the 'band's and the singing of the
massed bands, (provided a bac'k-
ground of color for the 'words of the
commentator. They picked up the
shouts and. -cheers of the vast assem-
bly, even the lusty singing of a group
of veterans, Thrilled by the action of
Their Majesties, 'they struck 02 the
good, old song "For They are Jolla'
Good Fellows."
I'n Toronto, another unforeseen in-
cident occurred to change plans
slightly. It was the appearance, 'be-
fore the crowd in the Legislative As-
sembly, of the five little girls from
Callander—the sisters Dionne. The
quintuplets had come down, from
their northern Ontario home espec-
ially to be presented to their Royal
guardians, but their public appearance
had Ibsen unheralded. However, the
CBC commentator was able to con-
tinue with a description of the five-
year-old quints and the reactions of
the crowd,
"I believe," said the judge to the
prisoner, "you were before me a year
ago, and you promised to turn over a
new leaf; yet here I find you
charged with forgery."

KING'S HIOHWAY5 . ----
Wibh the arrival of 'Their Majesties King and
Queen Eliz'a'beth less .than a week off, Minister
of Highways Hon. T. B', ,McQluesten today re-
inforced his program for reducing highway accid-
ents throughout Ontario during the Royal Visit.
Mr. M'clQuesten said every effort 'was being
made by his department to avoid any serious
traffic mishaps which might mar the pleasure of
Their Majesties' tour. The program was designed
as a tribute to King George and his keen interest
in accident 'prevention.
The highways minister urged all motorists to
co-operate in attempts being made to prevent
heavy 'congestion on roads leading to cities where
the Royal party will pay formal and extended
visits,
Mr. M9Questen pointed out that the King's
Highway system near these ,cities would be
heavily congested with - motor traffic coming
,from distant points. He felt that motorists who
lived comparatively close to ''hese 'cities might
reach their destination with much more comfort
and convenience if they used the many good sec-
ondary roads available to them.
He also suggested that many motorists coming
from distant points would find these secondary
roads a means of avoiding congestion and delay.
To the end of promoting traffic safety and mot-
oring comfort, department of highways engin-
eers have mapped out alternative routes which, if
followed, will relieve some of the pressure on the
main routes and help to avoid some of the heavy
congestion. The map above emphasizes the roads,
apart from the principal 'highways, by which mot-
orists may travel safely and comfortably 'to see
the Royal celebrations,
'That's night, my lord. I rememb-
ered your words about turning over
a new leaf and the 'first book that
came into my possession 'was a
cheque-book."

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,
Asparagus
'(Experimental Farms News)
Every 'permanent fruit or vegetable
garden should 'have an asparagus bed.
It supplies the family with spring's
first cultivated vegetable, states James
Gallaher, Head Gardener,Experi-
mental Station, Kentville, N.S.
Tie soil should :be comparatively
deep, 'friable, well -drained and fertile,
with plenty -of organic natter and an
abundance of soil nutrients. A good
coat of 'barnyard manure deeply dug
in the autumn previous to planting,
and a spring application of a 5-'110-5
fertilizer at the rate of five pounds per
square rod, dug into the soil when it
is .being worked up 'for planting, are
advisable. One -year-old plants of
Mary Washington are recommended.
These may 'be grown from seed -a year
before, or purchased as roots. If two
or more rows are planted they should
be six feet apart. A trench eight -in-
cites deep by 2 •feet wide is dug out,
levelled at the bottom, the roots of
the plants spread out flat on the
bottom of the trench one and one-half
'Feet apart, covered with about 'two
inches of soil and tramped firmly. Do
not fill in the trench. Hoe frequently
to control weeds and moisture. The
roots of the asparagus work toward
the surface and the trench is grad-
ually filled in over a period of twenty
to thirty years, the lifetime of the 'bed,
Do not cut any of the tips the year
after planting and but few the second
year, and never too many thereafter.
Some must be deft to develop the
roots for the following year's crop.
In the late autumn after planting,
the stalks are cut off close to the
ground and taken; away and burned.
The be is then heavily manured
,(three to four :inches) with well -
composted manure, which is covered
with one inch of soil. In the years
that 'follow all the stalks that 'produce
seed should be removed ,(or the seed
picked off) to prevent then from fall-
ing to the ground and reseed+.ng' the
bed. The 'bed is cleaned up annually
late in the autumn and the stalks
'burned to destroy insects and.diseases
that they might harbor.
"Couldn't you- ever learn 10 love
me, clear?"
"Learn to love you? P certainly
could not"
"Just as I thought. Tot, old to
learn."
