Spectators Jam Streets Rooftops throughont.,the length of the Strand, Fleet Street and Ludgate 'Hill' were jammed with cheering spec- tators, sidewalks presented a solid mass of humanity. Within the huge cathedral, flanked on every side by members of their family and the highest dignitaries of the land, the king and queen sat in high, red-plushed chairs directly fac- ing the high altar. Pomp, pageantry, affection and re- joicing mingled in the stirring church ceremonial conducted by Very Rev. J. W. C. Wand, Bishop of London, Later the packed congregation heard Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, say of the king and queen: -The evidence and example of their steadfastness, rooted in the serenity of a happy home life and expressed in the selfless service to their peo- ple, has steadied and encouraged the whole nation and has stood as a liv- ing symbol in our midst of these sim- ple sanctities wherein a man's true life consists." The queen, who smiled radiantly as she did when she was married in Westminster Abbey in 1923, sat on the right of the naval -uniformed king. The queen wore a full-length dress of silver-grey crepe with its grey crys- tals sparkling in the sunshine. Trumpets Signal 'Arrival' The arrival of the king and queen was signalled by a silver battery of trumpets sounded by trumpeters of the household cavalry standing on the west steps. As the royal party, preceded by church dignitaries, entered the cath- edral, notes of welcome were echoed by trumpeters of the Royal Military School. of Music. Four heralds in scarlet and gilt cas- socks imparted a blaze of color to the triumphal procession approach- ing the altar.

They .Said Unto Me," was sung. A short distance behind sat Queen Mary, in a shimmering sea-greeu dress and traditional high toque, with Prin- cess Margaret next to her in a gown of ferget-lne-not blue. Princess Elizabeth, serene in a China blue thick -ribbed silk gown, sat beside her uniformed 'husband, Prince Philip. When the organ in- troduced ntroduced the hymn, "Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven,"' the princess smiled happily at Philip. When the Archbishop of Canter- bury referred to the royal family's "steadfast example" of family life, Queen Mary glanced down with tremb- ling • lips. When Princess Margaret touched her arm understandingly, the Queen Mother immediately regained her composure. The choral and organ music reach- ed a climax in the anthem, "Zadex the Priest," composed by Handel for the coronation of George II and re- peated at the coronation of the pres- ent king in 1937. Their Majesties exchanged glances of mutual recognitions -as the first notes were sounded. The last 'tri- umphant chord brought the congre- gation to its feet. The Bishop of London, in his •cape and cloth of gold,- blessed the King and Queen with his right hand held high. •Outside the cathedral dense crowds heard the service through the loud- speakers. As the King and Queen at 12.30 p.m. stepped from the shadow of the cath- edral into the brilliant sunshine, bells rang out over the city. Norman Robertson, Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, 'represented Canada at the service. After their return to Buckingham Palace for the family luncheon, cheers from thousands packed ' outside brought Their 'Majesties to the bal- cony. A minute later they were join- ed .by Princess ' Elizabeth,' Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and Queen Mather Mary.

Because this will vweaken, if not kill the plant, professional nurserymen are careful to wrap all roots in moss, fibre, or keep some of the original soil around them, and they also keep them moist. In every garden there is a lot of •transplanting work to do. Tomatoes„ cabbage, petunias, marigolds and oth- er annual flower and vegetable plants will have to be taken from window boxes, hot beds or from the flats in which they were purchased' 'from greenhouses and set out in the gar- den. There will be nursery stock, like fruit and ornamental trees, rose bushes, shrubs, 'etc., to be moved or bought and planted. Often, too, in thinning certain (flowers or vegetables plantedseed open, from in the o en it is possible to salvage the plants taken out. If there is any secret about this business of transplanting it is to pro- tect the roots from air and sun, keep them moist before, during and after the transplanting and make surerseedl soil is pressed down firmly. Moisten- ing before removal will allow a bit of earth to come with the roots and will prevent damage to the tiny hair-like feeding roots, which are essential if the plant is to survive, Plenty of water during the transplanting (and this applies to shubbery and trees just as it does to tiny, little plants) will help ,,�tnpress the soil about the roots. forcing out 'the air and offset evaporation and wilting. If the wea- ther is dry it is a good thing to keep the soil moist about the newly -set plarits, shrubbery or trees for a few days. A little chemical fertilizer spread close to. but not actually touching, the roots will also help stimulate growth and help recovery from the shock of transplanting. With small things like tomatoes, head let- tuce, cabbage and annual flowers, it is a good idea, where feasible, to pro' tett from hot sun for a day or two. 'Must Have Right Seed No matter how favorable the wea- ther or how rich the soil results are sure to be disappointing unless one uses good seed. This costs but a few cess. It is also vital to use seed that .is suitable for Canadian 'conditions. Something that might give wonderful results in the South or in Europe may be far too tender when planted in Canada. On this account it is advis- able to stick to purchases from Cana- dian seed houses which only carry seed tested and approved by govern- ment officials for Canadian condi- tions. Health is Best Protection The best protection against insects and pests is a healthy garden, grown from good disease -resistant seed, well cultivated and free from weeds. Bugs usually lurk in weed growth waiting until the garden stuff is big enough for a raid. • For those bugs that eat holes in the foliage use poison. For those that suck out the puices and make the plant wither, use a spray that will burn. Disease usually hits the plant cells and causes withering or rot in blackish spots. Chemicals like sulphur are used in this case. Often one good treatment will be en- ough, but with things like leaf hop- pers and potato bugs which` lay eggs, two or three successive treatments to get the young ones will be needed. Most chemicals lose their potency in time so a fresh supply each season is advisable. For a Real Display , It is surprising how little it costs in time or money to have a really big bed of massed annual' flowers, some- thing that will really, attract interest and attention. One should not crowd these things, Leave a foot or more between all but the tiny types.

This gets rid of the weeds and gets the soil in good shape. For a long bed three feet° wide is about a minimum requirement. Into this one can plant dozens of different type an- nuals, with the smaller things gener- ally at the front, the bigger things at the bottom. For tiny things like French Marigolds, allow about ten inches between, and for the biggest things like cosmos, full-size zinnias, etc., two and a half to three feet is not .foo much room. A solid bed of one kind of flower in various colors makes, a most effective display. 'Petunias and zinnias are especially suitable for this •purpose. Spread/Them Out • One gets quite a thrill out of having the first•vegetables or flowers in the neighborhood. But there is also much solid satislla.ction in having good and beautiful things from the garden long after those next door are gone. Per- haps the commonest mistake of all amateur gardeners is stopping plant- ing too soon. With vegetables, especially, most varieties should be sown at least- three times about two weeks apart.. This will protect against late frosts or flood damage and will keep a tasty supply of the freshest vegetables coming along. In most parts of Can- ada it is possible to set out plants and sow. seed almost up to the first :week in July and still have reason- able ° expectation of good results. There should be a succession of crops of beans, beets, carrots, lettuce, ,corn and such things. Lawn Should Be Centrepiece All informal, garden layouts, and the informal type is almost invariably the best, are built around a piece of lawn. Even in the very tiny city gardens, this makes the most effective treat- ment, the level stretchry08f green grass setting off the flowers, shrubs, vines and trees which surround it. If at all possible one should avoid straight lines in these surrounding beds of shrubbery and •flowers, though rigid fence lines and driveways some- times make this difficult. Experts ad- vise, however, a curving front to the flower beds rather than a straight one, and both flowers in this and any shrubbery should, be planted in clumps rather than in rows, Generally small flowers and smaller shrubbery are brought to the front, though there should be a little variation in this rule just for variety. Paths and Driveways Even where paths are not absolute- Lyi necessary they will add interest to any garden. But they should not be too obvious. and if one wants a curve or two in them then there should be some excuse for that curve, such as a tree or group of shrubbery. What the path will be made of will depend. upon how much traffic and what ma- terials are available. Good firm sod will take some wear and if dry will carry an occasional car. For more perjnanent results and heavier traffic, flag stones, bricks, crushed cinders or well packed gravel. are all auttable. Where these act as driveways, as well and carry heavy traffic, some founda- tion and drainage is advisable. Coarse gravel' or cinders will do very well. To keep down dust and weeds in drivefays therds are many good weed killers on the market. Common salt is also used for this purpose And it has the additional advantages of bind - :ng the gravel or cinder and discour- aging frost. Dietary Dentifrice Topping off a meal, with row fruit is recommended by dental authorities for leaving teeth clean. 'There is strong evidence, they say, that tooth decay is most common among heavy consumers of refined sugar products, such as candies, jams, • jellies, cake, etc., and sweet soft drinks. The den- tal experts suggest the "protective" fopds—meat, eggs, etc., for healthy teeth. And they recommend thorough chewing, so as to exercise the mus- cles of the jaw and massage .the gums. Refreshers Needed Relaxation may not be" magic• but, according to authorities in)the De - 'ailment of National Health anal Wel- fare, Ottawa, it does give the mind and body a chance to "pull themselves together." Many of us need that most beneficial of all relaxes—rest. Others, say the doctors, would profit most from exercise, recreation or some sort 'of change. All work and no play, they repeat, ;pakes for dull- ness. An unrelieved. grind. can upset the fine balance of activity so essen- tial if we are to keep happy and healthy.

Canadian public health authorities advise that once you find a shoe -clerk •who knows how to fit your feet, you put his name and address in your memo book, beside those of the fam- ily physician and your dentist. He, too„ can help you to health. Paleface Ph sic y One of the problems associated with the opening up and development of Canada has concerned care of the native population. Since 1759, army doctors have occasionally given medi- cal care to Indians, Eskimos and the nomads who are also our wards, but only in comparative recent years bias the government—for humanitarian ra- ther than legal reasons—provided for the complete health care of these peo- ple, Canada is spending more than four - and -a -half -million dollars this year for these services, maintaining 18 hospi- tals, and operating widespread nurs- ing and medical services. A 'special attack is being' made on the Redman's curse—tuberculosis. Keeping Young It has been wisely said that "Age is neither a visitation nor a penalty, but 4atber an accomplishment and a fulfilment." Health authorities say that, to grow old gracefully—to wel- come the silver threads—requires compliance with common-sense health rules applicable to one's -age, type, .oc- cu•pation and environment. Many of the physical problems of aging can be anticipated, they tell us. The best way to prevent the degenerative dis- eases is to catch them before they get a good start. A semi-annual check up by the doctor will ensure that. Bulirvarks For Babies At what age should a child be im- munized against whooping cough? Well, say National Health authorities' in this field, inoculations at the age of three months are thought by some to afford protection. However, im- munity is judged to be more reliably produced after the seventh month. In some instances a combined vaccine to protect against whooping cough, dipth- theria and tetanus i. used, when the child is six months old. The family physician should be the guide in this, as in other health matters. Personal Problem You can't 'afford simply to leave such a personal thing as your health, to others! •Canada's public health authorities are on guard and are maintaining the highest standards of health protection in the world. But, they warn, in the long run, health de- mands more than safety of food and' 'water or the elimination of disease throfigh research and preventive mea- sures. It calls for action on the part of every citizen, to preserve fitness and to plan and stick to healthful living routine. Safety Signals "Stop . . . look . listen!" Those familiar warnings at level crossings have health application, too, we are reminded by - Canadian authorities.
