In ten years' time the tFiriers
gossip,mongers will probably be
weaving • romance rumours
around. another British princess
who will certainly have all the
charm, glamor and fearlessness
of her aunt, Princess Margaret.
Blonde Princess Anne is des-
tined to become a vital figure in
the pageantry of the Common-
wealth — but none of today's
ioyal advisers has discovered yet
how to stop the constant whis-
pers of romance that are bound
to circle her when she's older
Luckily, Princess Anne is only
nine years old, But, even at
nine, she is a personality in her
own right ... riding shaggy fell
ponies - bareback' at Balmoral,
fearlessly befriending racehorses
at the royal paddoeks. She is so
very like her mother. Yet she
also takes after her father. too.
When she went into. hospital
for her tonsils operation. she
had to be persuaded to take a
few toys with her. She did not
particularly want them, she ex-
plained, because she needed a
change. When taken to the Royal
Tournament, she insisted on hav-
ing two little friends there. "It
will be so niee for them," she
said earnestly-, "and o nice `-or
me. tea'."
Her ycun friends were Susan
Babington Smith aed fre.-k:ed
Caroline Hamilton, who go to
"'coot's" at Buckingham Palace:
Mrs.. Ham r e n lives m one of
the streets behind the Palace.and
delivers Susan to "classes" in
the -.,rni in her baby car and
collects her fil, night.
I: s all part of the "new deal"
for pr:naesses a: the Palace, for
it was ::ought tha: Anne might
be in danger of becoming too
stuffy if she took lessons alone
wi:h her g:.verress. In the aYter-
noens, the three children ex-
plore Lenden, visiting perhaps
the Tower, the Zoo or the Na- "
tural History Museum — and
they are seldom recognized.
The Queen's policy of avoiding
the limelight f.r her children has
wonted well. Feld people know
what' Princess Anne really looks
like. Tali as her brother, she is
oaten dressed in frocks cut from
her mother's clothes. She was
taken for a wok outside the
Palace grounds not long ago
"just for a few minutes."
Ent the few minutes were pro-
longed into an hour and a half
as she made a complete tour of
the two 'lig Lonior parks near

Princess "escaped" with her bro-
ther and cycled•down to'Craithie
village, much to the horror of a
Dench governess who was in
charge of them. Then the truant
children devoted themselves to
the business of shopping, buying
sneezing powder for a practical
joke and a horror mask with
which Princess Anne hoped to
scare the grown-ups.
These are stories that might he
told of any little girl, but Prin-
cess Anne is happily growing up
quite naturaUy, a triumph for
the fresh breeze that has recent-
ly blown through Palace routine.
Not long ago, Anne was expected
to be a bridesmaid. at the smart
Abel Smith wedding. The Queen
made her own appearance at an
Abel Smith Wedding when only
five. But Her Majesty declined
the invitation for her daughter,
feeling that the publicity might
• not be good for the child.
Princess Anne had a mink coat
at four and riding boots when
; even younger. She has been
taken on Wonderful cruise_ on
the royal yacht and has shared
smuggled trips in her father's
• helicopter. She has whizzed in
speed boats and flown in a
'plane. Yet the last thing she is
• is spoiled.
• She has a set of the world's
most glamorous dolls perfect-
ly costumed little ladies from
F ante. But Anne has to address
them all whenever possible in
French. After her father gave her
swimming lessons at the end of
a long bamboo pole with a rub-
ber loop, the secretary of the
Amateur Swimming Association
wanted to give her a silver
swinitning spoon.
• The Duke explained, however,
that she was not yet proficient
enough. And Anne had to try
harder . , . until she developed
into a very geed swimnere and
eventually won the spoon, her
first sporting trophy.
When one of the royal corgis
fell ill, it was Princess Anne
who first noticed the trouble.
The dog was sent away to an
animals' hospital, and Anne ask-
ed about hint every day until he
came home fully recovered.
And when she heard that one
of the Celevland bays in the
royal stables was poorly, noth-
ing would content her but to
visit the horse to help feed him
and cheer him up.
Most people imagine that M,
royal princess must be sur-
rounded by toys. In reality only

cause of the time involved. A

Christian Science Monitor.

Spiels like these, recorded on
tape recently -by the Food and
Drug Administration, are the
chief stock in trade of a modern
version of the old American
snake -oil peddler: The 50,000
door-to-door salesmen who each
year are hawking an estimated
$500 million worth of "wonder
foods," vitamins, and minerals to
more than 10 million Americans.
Last month the Food and Drug
Administration, along with the
Better Business Bureau and the
American Medical Association,
opened a .detern-lined drive
against these pitchmen's cruel
exploitation of fear and false
promises.
The drive, built around a
movie, an exhibit of typical de-
ceits, along with anti -fraud
pamphlets, is aimed at reducing
public gullibility rather than
jailing quacks. The frustrating

The task of fighting food fads
and deceptions is aggravated by
the fact that Americans are the
most diet -conscious people in the
world. As such, an AMA spokes-
man said recently, they are easi-
ly victimized by food myths, in-
cluding (1) all diseases are
caused by tautly diet; (2) the
foods raised on the nation's "de-
pleted" soils are poor in vita-

industry kills nutrients by "over-
processing" food, (4) aluminum
pots and pans are poisoning the
nation, and (5) anyone suffer-
ing from "that tired feeling" has
a vitamin deficiency which can-

lead to serious ailments,
The Food and Drug Adminstra-
tion last week saw little hope of
total victory over such hokum.
"I am afraid that we can never
get rid of the hard core of
quack "victims," Dr. Kenneth
L, Milstead, a top FDA official,
said, "These people want to be
food faddists — they are a cer-

want to attract attention by eat-
