ARD Hurricane Causes Severe Damage. In East Wavvanosh, Morris Local Trucker, Roy McVittie Miraculously Escapes Death From Transport Wreck A miraculous escape from serious injury and perhaps death Itself vas , the week -end experience of. Roy Me - Vatic, local trucker, when his tractor - trailer transport truck c me to grief on thd Maitland river bcd at the inter- section of the Centre sideroaci and the Fifth line of Morris Township about midnight Saturday. Roy was coming south from Bluevale and in applying the brakes at the intersection, the huge transport is believed to have jacknifed, going out of control, tearing up the posts and breaking the cable along the left side of the road at the approach to the bridge, finally strik'ng a Inrge cement abutment, before it plunged some 20 feet below onto the soft ground beside the river. The truck landed up- side clown and was completely wreck - cd, Roy broke the wind.hleld in the truck and walked to the farm of Jack Clark to summon help and notify pole ice, He was covered with oil •wh'ch flew when the truck overturned, So loud was the impact that a farmer, Gordon Wilkinson, living an estimated 2,000 feet away, was awakened by the ' , crash, Provincial Constable Charles Salter of Wingham, was called. The truck was righted and brought • In to Blyth by wrecker on Sunday. People viewing the wreck-ge and ill2 scone of the occident marvel at the fact that anyone could come out alive, Roy received only Minor injuries and was milking with a distinct limp, bet Was back on the job with a new truck Monday morning, The heavy bumper on the front end of the wrecked truck withstood the, .impact of the coll'iaon with thecement abutthent and may have been responsible to a large degree In saving the driver from serious In- jury, • Engagement Announced Local Groupings Announced Representatives from.

Large- Machinery Display Features Rutabaga Day The unanimous opinion appears to be that Rutabaga .and Agricultural Day held in Blyth on Saturday, May 23rd, was a great success from every angle. Activity around the town from early morning gave evidence that n large crowd would be present andaalthough there was no way of actually pinning down the •number who attended at var- ious times, a figure close to the 3,003 mark seems .to the_opinion of most. Machine company representatives, and various industrial firms took. ad- vantage ,of the day to display their machines find products, andthe grounds surrounding Russell Dougherty's plant resounded with the whir of, machines as the demonstrators took over. The outside events were favoured with ideal, weather conditions. Inside • the turnip •processing plant films were shown throughout. part of the morning and during the afternoon. The large seating opacity which had been- arranged ' for was comfortnbly taken during the entire time, and many fine films, the product of. various in- dustrial concerns, were shown, During the morning a motor caval- cade arrived from London under the supervision o'f Mr. Charles Ford, and headed by a loud-spenker sound truck. This parade attracted considerable interest and a good crowd was on .hand to greet It as It pulled in just niter 10 DM. With respect to this parade, a local industry stole the show. The Wallace I Turkey Form & Hatchery entered the parade as it came. down Queen street with 15' white "Tom" turkeys, all deck- ! ed out with .red; bows,' and the turkeys stepped - down the street with precis- ion, just like oldtlmers. They were, 1 of course, carefully guided by Mr, Wal- lace and his staff, Mr. Wallace got the.idea from the.United States where In n certain city, an annunl turkey trot is held when hundreds of turkeys are driven, through the main street. Of course ft is the mete turkey who par- ticipates. The female of the specie is too fickle for such a contine, being 11 - able to take to,the wing, and fly away. Tha sound facilities of the Halliday sound truck proved Its • worth at the grounill for a public speaking platform, Master of Ceremonies was Bob C.arbert, CKNX farm editor, Experts on soil. fruits and vegetables_ and provtelel and federal members of parliament , included J. J. Johnson, London, sup- ervisor and inspector, fruits and vege- tables branch, Department of Agricul- ture; R. J, Bryden,' soils specialist, On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph; T. Pryde, MLA, South Huron; L. E Car- diff, M,P,, North Huron; Charles Ford, 'London; Bob Wilcox, Kitchener; Lewis Howe, Goldman, fruits and vegetables branch; Essex and Kent, Reeve 'W, H. Merritt, who welcomed the guests to Blyth; Frank Strong, supervisor, fruits and vegetables branch, Perth and Wel- lington. The event was widely advertised as a free show, and that is exactly what it was. During the afternoon free soft drinks were handed out by a pop company. Blyth Farmers'. Co -Op held open house, serving free cheese and crackers, and also doing a brisk busi- ness selling cheese. Many favourable comments were forthcoming from those who inspected the plant. Gen- erally Speaking, not one ,unfavourable comment was heard from _those who participated, either as exhibitor or itor. Toadd toth t. t t, the : howly-formed Brussels pipe band came I over during the evening and eniertain- Ied for a brief spell, parading up and down main street. Booth privileges on the grounds, and up town during the 'evening, were.taken by local organiza- tions, who reported a good turnover. a Members of Parliament who called briefly' during the morning were Don- ald Blue,- and' A.

The havoc occurred bl uund 10:30 p.n and caught many of the residents o the torn area in bed and grve n warning; sneaking up like a thief 1 the night with terrible intent. Th high wind was precceded by an elec Weal storm which was nccompanle by hail In some areas, After the win had subsided the display of lightnin was one of the brightest seen in till area, but the damage wrought was al apparently caused by the wind which although no estimate of Its force ha been given, must have reached speed of at least 100 miles, perhap more, . The storm roared in off Lake Huron and seemed' to hit its peak just about at the division line between East and West Wawanosh, From the damage wrought its intensity reached.a distance in width of about three miles, As It proceeded across East Wawa - nosh and Morris the wind told' waste to probably'lliirty or forty barns, and severely damaged others. Many hous- es also show the effects of the storm. Hundreds of trees in. the arca are eith- er uprooted or broken down badly, s- !list of those who suffered from the as I storm, with the extent of the damage ty done. No doubt we have missed many, in but here is the Hat as we hove it; h aEel.] Caldwell's barn, completely de- n - molished; W.

Much of the district was without hydro throughout Tues- day as hydro crews worked to repair damage•in East Wawanosh and Morris. ' Highway No, 4 was blocked for a time Monday night when a huge tree crashedacross the pavement just north Of -Mr. Jack Johnston's' gate, 'and had to lie removed. Many sideroads and concessions in the stricken area had to bimb e'csl!ared of fallen. trees and broken i For the most part residents of Blyth escaped damage, and many were not aware of the severe damage done un- til Tuesday morning, Neighbours climbed atop the roof on Mr, Leslie Johnston's house and worked until 2 aan, trying to place a tarpaulin over a section which had been removed by the wind. On • other streets; trees and la -ranches were blown down, but the damage here was negligible com- pared to what happened just north of the village. The West -field district was severely damaged and ns the storm carried east into Morris township, the residents of the concessions north of Blyth caught its full force,,, also with disastrous': re- sults. On Tuesday those in the path of the storm were comparing it with the tor- nado that struck the Sarnia area a week ago, It may not have, been as severe but for many le was a touch of the real thing. Tuesday also found farmers busily engaged digging through the ruins of buildings, Three brothers, residents of East Wawanosh, W. J. Battalion, Dan. Ballot= and John Hnllnhan, were all hard hit, Bill's barn was flattened to the ground, and windows' were blown out of the house. c Further down the concession, which is the 4th of East Wawanosh, his broth- er Dan was in like difficulties, His barn was left in a shambles. A third brother, John, lost the roof off both his barn and dwelling, Speaking of the storm John remarked that its approach sounded like the roar .of a fire. He was In bed and just got up as the roof Was'torn from his stone dwelling. The stone hotise shook on its foundation at the height of the wind. Farther north on No. 4 highway one would hordly know that Eorl Caldwell's barn had ever stood, As you viewed it from the Highcitly about alt one could seo. was the straw that still lay about the barn, Still farther north the wind appeared to have picked the top sec- tion Clear off Jack Jchnston's. barn and carried it n distance of perhaps 25 rods across No, 4 Highway where part df It could be seen.

At the Joe Carrel farm, now owned by Bert Moss, both barn and house were blown down. The roof is off Wm. Good's barn in West Wawanosh, The house and barn on Jack Lockharta farm On the 3rd of East Wawanosh are both reported'down, This can be considered a partial list. There was hardly a farm in the path of the storm that did 'not suffer to some extent. It is estimated that eith- er 19 or 20 barns are down or bary; damaged on the sixth concession of Morris. At this season of the year most barns are empty hulks following the long winter season of feeding. There is no doubt that this fact aided the wind in its wild rampage. Counteracting this is the fact that most stock had already been turned out to grass for the sum- mer season., so that while some stock losses were experienced, that angle was perhaps kept to a minimum. A huge reconstruction job will have to be undertaken throughout the area. It may well be that some of the build- ngs will never be .replaced, which is a distinct loss to nny municipality. Any help that can be rendered the infortunate people in the areas affect- ' d should be forthcoming immediately, There has been no report of anyone injuredwhich can be attributed to the damage of lesser degree to dwellings. It is perhaps fortunate that the dis- aster did not occur at some other time when farm owners might have been trapped in the barns, Help Sought By M. P. On Tuesday night A. Y. McLean, M. P. (Huron Perth), wired Brooke Clax- ton, acting prime minister, as follows: "Northern part of Huron County last night subjected to a storm of equal In. tensity to that which struck Lnmbton, Middlesex and Perth last Thursday.

A.—This was formerly frown- ed upon, but society has now re- lented enough to condone the re- pairs most women deem neces- sary to their lips and shiny noses after eating, it necesary for a young woman to rise when being in- troduced to the mother of a girl friend?. A,—Most certainly; to remain seated would be exceedingly ill- bred. Q.—When friends, who have moved into a neiv home, invite you to an "open house," are you obligated to bring 'a gift? A.—No; this is merely an in- vitation to visit these friends and see their new home, If, however, you are giving a "house-warm- ing" in their honor, then, of course, you are expected to give a gift. Q. --Should a man ever hand his coat to a woman for her to assist him 'In putting it on? A.—Only 1f he is rheumatic or very feeble. Otherwise, he should be capable of getting into his coat without the woman's assis• tante. Q.-1 should like to have my. mother serve as my matron -of - honour at my wedding. Is this all right? A, --Yes, And the bridegroom is privileged to choose his father as his best man, too, Q.—What should a woman do when calling unexpectedly on a friend, if she finds that her friend is ready to go out? A, -She may. say, "I see you are ready td go out; I won't keep you," However, 1! her• friend in- sists that she stay awhile, it is all right for her to remain, but not longer than ten or fifteen minutes.

It ,was the occasion of the Fifth Women's .Institute'• Officers' Conference for .Ontario Delegates cane from points as far as . distant as the , borders of Manitoba, Quebec and the United States, and from the northerly district of Cochrane, It was a two-day affair so there were many from distant points who, stayed'in residence at the College from Wednesday night to' Saturday morning, Now for some of the highlights, Dr. J. D. MacLachlan, president of the O,A.C, welcomed the dele- gates and. outlined, the work and opportunities of the student's coming from farms, Two inter- 'esting — and interested — visit- . ors, throughout the session were the Reverend Mother Mary Ali- cia and Sister Marie Adele, so- cial welfare workers from the Dominca Republic, B,W.L, tour: ing Canada for the purpose of studying rural, social and . edu• cational work in this country. Mother M a r y Alicia told the Conference that two years ago a Women's League had been or- ganized in Dominica patterned after the W, I, in Canada The need for -social work in that country was shown tobe very great, and so, as a practical ges-• ture of goodwill, a collection was taken up at the. Conference, amounting to $211, which was given to and gratefully received by, the two Dominca Welfare Workers. The official delegates from the various W. L branches were the conveners of Home Economics and Health and the conveners of Resolutions, so the addresses throughout the Conference were slanted towards those subjects There were many excellent ad- dresses. Dr. Mackinnon Phillips, Minister of Health, spoke on the "Health of Ontario," outlining the progress that had already been made for the care of psy- chiatric cases and .the project already underway to provide hospital care' and treatment for mentally .retarded children. An- other, speaker, Mr, McVittie, In- spector for Auxiliary Classes for the Guelph district, outlined n plan to help pupils in rural schools- who need special train- ing, the ' same as the special courses already available in ur- ban centres. Anyone interested, and no doubt there will be many, can obtain' full information from their own local Inspector of Schools. . A panel discussion on Health, was most interesting, Those par- ticipating were •Elizabeth Chant Robertson, Dr, Gordon Bates, Director,Health League of Can- ada, and Dr, W. E, Blatz, pay= chiatrist, ,The main purpose of the discussion was to promote better understanding of . the im- portance of good eating habits; particularly in regard to chil- dren, Resolutions, as a topic for dis- cussion, could be uninteresting. At the Guelph Conference' it was far from being that. Byrne Hope Sanders, well-known to the public as one-time editor of "Chateliane" gave an inspiring add r es s, emphasizing the strength and effectiveness of resolutions, if properly used. These two points were proved beyond question by the next speaker' — Mrs, W. 0. Walton, president of the Canadian Con- sumers' association. Said Mrs. Walton — "Never vote for a resolution, unless you' are pre- pared, to back it up , , always ,send supporting data with the resolution . , make it sound and convincing , , , and send the resolution not only to the Gov- ernment but to the Opposition Mrs. Walton reported that the CCA had been working on a • resolution which came from • the W.I. to have sizes for children's clothes .standardized,, a plan on which the manufacturers . are now working. Progress was also reported on a request for'screw- tops for jam jars and for the dis- continuance of ,red and white wrappers for bacon. The Hon. Dana Porter assured the delegates that sending reso- ' Miens to the Government. was not waste of time, that most • legislation was the, direct result of resolutions, from various groups, .Referring to the brief ' on edible oils, this resolution, said Mr, Porter, was so' reasonable and constructive that it could be accepted practically in its entire- ty. It showed members of other industries that'the dairy industry is basic. to. agriculture and if it fails other industries will suffer, There you have the highlight's , of the Conference. If your Branch of the W.I. sent delegates they will bring you a full report; But I suppose not all branches were represented. Even 2 at that . it was' a full house, Every seat in the half and gallery was taken and 'a loud speaker system in- stalled in the basement to take care of the overflow. It was an enthusiastic • a u di e n c e, the weather was perfect and so was the Conference , , : and I haven't' heard of any ill effects to the families left at home. ... LoveAtFirstSight.., -- It's All Nonsense. ! I know 1 lay myself open. to the risk of being shot at dawn or being battered to death by umbrellas when 1 say that court- ing couples have not the re- motest idea of what love really means. I say that real love does not even begin to grow until after marriage. Nor .do I believe that there is any truth in love at first sight, It is absolutely impossible, Noth- ing could be more ridiculous than the belief that two people, meet- ing for the first time, can fall in love, They may not speak the same language. One might adore bebop and the other Brahms; one might find heaven in a ballroom and the other on a mountain top; one might love children and the other hate the sight of • them, Love at first sight? Poppycock! Before you start throwing things at me, consider the mat- ter sensibly. What first attracted you to your present boy friend? Perhaps he was tall and tanned; or he had wavy hair and blue eyes; or he smoked a pipe; or he danced well. You had a thrill each time he spoke to you; your heart began to do queer things, You smiled brightly, and put yourself out to charm him, He fell for your smile and your shape, and dated you for the following week. You may have thought your- self in love, but you weren't, Wou were just attracted • physically, You were afraid, because you thought hien so good-looking, that you would not be able to hold him against competition, So every time you met, you were on your best behaviour, You dressed as attractively as you could afford, You went out ,of your way to please him and to agree with him. You let him think he was marvellous. At the same time, perhaps, he we's doing exactly the same thing. He was afraid some other man would take you from him, so he was charming every time you ?net, In cases like this it often hap- pens that odd habits suddenly pop out which you, don't like. So he may find your bright chat- ter a little boring, so he kisses you, And you bath think the world • is wonderful, and "ain't love grand?" • Then you have a row and part. For a day or so you are miser- able. Then another wavy-haired, tanned young man appears on the scene and the same thing happens over again, And once more 'you believe you ' are in love. Or perhaps • that first row comes' after you are married, and you are not able to shake it off. The next thing you know you are in the divorce court. Re- member, all the thousands of people who go through the div- orce courts every year once felt just as you do, and were ,fust as certain that they were In love. I am not being cynical, 1 know • that only a fraction of marriages break up. But I want to show that real love, undying love, only comes after marriage, when there is no need to put on an aet to hold your man, when troubles come and have to be faced. That is the testing time of love. Could it Have Happened?? Have you ever seen two mid- dle-aged people walking or sit- ting together; not speaking, but quite happy in mutual silence? Could that have happened when, you were courting? No, you would be frantically thinking of what to say next, in case he thought you were a bore, The bonds of love cannot be forced in the hothouse air of courtship. They are forged, by years of close association, by facing adversity together, and because of memories shared, and by the exercise of tolerance and common sense, Love is a mixture of the phy- sical, mental, and spiritual be- tween two people, and that mix- ture cannot be achieved before marriage. Nature generally arranges that as the fierce flame of passion die down, true affection begins to take its place, and eventually supersedes it, until both per- sons become halves of one whole and know, quite seriously, that they couldn't live without each other.

The legend is that all prolessional sports''.managers possess, rasping tongues, acid vocabularies, that they drive• their charges mercilessly by torrents of abuse and threats, It's a legend that has .gained through imaginative fiction, but, if it ever was true, and we believe It was correct only in some isolated: instances, it doesn't hold in professional hockey today. A player may be sharply reprimanded in private for some misdoing, some breach of training rules, but intel- ligent analysis and conferences in which coach and manager submit their plans and discuss thea with the players, have replaced old-fashioned and out-moded bullying, if this ever existed generally. This legend of managerial abuse was punctured right in the Detroit Red Wing camp. Jack Adams, former playing star, who as manager has been one of• hockey's greatest build- ers, is a fighting leader, He is forthright; he is experienced, he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind, Indeed, he has the repu- tation, outside his club, of being a hard driver, Before the second=last game of the Bruin -)ted Wing series, a game played in Detroit, it was apparent the great - Red Wing machine was grinding its gears. Bruins had already won three games. Another defeat would put Wings out of the series, Jack Maths called for a players' conference, There were those, on the fringe, who thought that the Wing leader would rant, roar, abuse the players, seek to inspire thein by threats. But, as it' turned out,Adams talked to his players as a kindly father might talk o a beloved baby son who had slightly misbehaved. • As he talked, the Stanley Cup stood In the room with him. And Adams said, quietly, sincerely: "This Stanley . Cup is yours now. You won it last spring and you know there's fun in winning it. Every kid in Canada wants his name on it. You're the greatest team today and your names should be on it. But a third place team is on the verge of preventing that, I want you to know that no matter what happens tonight, you are still my boys and you're the best boys I know on and off the ice." No threats, no abuse. But the psychological appeal of the quiet Adams' speech was far stronger than any fulminations could have been. There wasn't a dry eye in the Wing dressing - room. And .Wings went out, fought furiously, wpn the game, kept their hopes alive until these were snuffed out by the driving Bruins in Boston two nights later, The days of abusive leaders. are over in • professional hockey, if they ever existed, In hockey today, the potential awards are too great, the athletes playing a game that con- stitutes a career in itself and a springboard to the future are too aware of these facts to require, or perhaps to tolerate, the driving, abusive, blustering coach pictured in fiction.

The letter was written in Spanish .and addressed to the U. N. International Children's )Emergency Fund. It said in part: "The undersigned, all neigh- bours of this town and unfot- iunately poor, without any pat- rimony other than the scanty product of our own toil, respect- fully set' before you that: "Lacking the means to • give our, c h 1,1 dr en their. rightful vitality, we hasten to beg you to.. submit this petition to the noble institution of 'the United Nations, so that our children can be provided with' the precious benefits — the extra gust of life — that is supplied in the pow- dered milk and cod liver' oil which they -now lack because of extreme poverty." Prosperity through Scarcity At the very same time parents beg for a f e w cents worth of milk powder for their children, the largest farm organization of the country, the Canadian Fede- ration of Agriculture, is serious- ly considering . the possibilities of creating prosperity f o r its members by controlling and re- stricting production of food stuffs. They carried a resolution to that effect in their annual convention last January, In an editorial "Plan Produc- tion," published in The Rural Co-operator of May 12th, 1953, Mr, V. 5. Milburn, • Secretary - Manager of the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture, discusses "overproduction" and "market- ing problems" and offers similar thoughts. Mr. Milburn wonders "wheth- er farm people would be will- ing, and have sufficient ,intelli- gence," to accept advice as . to "the v o I u m e s required and whether they would attempt td regulate the position ' of supply and demand." In other words he. wants to corner 'the market. It would be deplorable if Can- adian farmers did not have "suf- ficient intelligence" to soe through the hollowness of this suggestion. If, indeed, the idea were not, propounded in all seriousness in the official organ of the leading farm .organization in Ontario by the highest ad- , ministrative officer of this or- ganization, it would be a waste First Time—Joe Adcock, Milwaukee Braves' first .baseman, hits the first home run ever to land in the bleachers at the New York Giants' home field, the- Polo Grounds,•Cross and dotted lin•, show the path• of the walloped, ball and where,it landed, 475' feet from home plate. • Australia Bound—"Mooseheart Prince" takes a last Zook at one of his many descendants before taking off on a Ione/ trip to Australia, where he will 'sire a Holstein dairy herd, Until now sire at Mocsehec'rt, he was sold to the Australian govern- ment. ' of paper *and effort to discuss it at all. Without going into details there are three arguments that immediately come to mind. They are Nature, Organization and Morality. The yields of any given com- modity are. to a large extent de. pendent on the weather over which man has no control, A shower at the right time on a grain field may increase yields by 10 to 20 per cent, Too much rain at ha y mg time will ad- versely affect milk producticn in winter. ' To plan production without any surplus it needs a) so exact a forecast of future' demand that we doubt it can be made; b) so strict a regimentation that we know Canadians will- not accept it. Canadian food surpluses — with the exception of wheat — are said to vary betwen 6 and 12 per cent, The uncertalnty of nature and the impossibility of precise gauging .of future mark- ets wi 11 prevent any . cutting down of this narrow margin. • The third, and probably heaviest, arguinent against • re- stricted production, are the mor- al aspects. Two thirds of hu- manity lay themselves to sleep every •night on empty stomachs, The question arises whether we have the right to curtail the al- ready inadequate world supply of food, only because we are not clever enough to market it profitably? There is no problem of over- production; there is only a problem of maldistribution. Farming like most other busi- nesses can be profitable only by producing to capacity, and by trying to hit a long term high average. This was easy in war- time. •Once, Canadian farmers begin , to cut down on their production according to known existing markets, they'will soon find these markets to shrink and finally find themselves reduced to subsistence farming. Farm surpluses - again with the exception of wheat ,— are such a small part of 'over-all production that it should not be impossible to market them, be it in Britain against payment in Sterling or anywhere else in a hungry world as ammunition against communism. Mr. Milburn also wonders "whether the solution to this problem plight be in our own hands," It is! But not by the negative approach of restricted production. Let otir farm leaders go after • the long „ promised marketing legislation which will enable Canada's farmers to market their own,•goods deter- provincially and internationally. Let then work out plans for orderly marketing. The Canadian farmer has "sufficient intelligence" to reject the idea of curtailing produc- • tion, but he is willing "to accept some discipline" and will give "a reasonable amount of sym- pathetic and ' intelligent sup, port" to a constructive plan of distribution, What he is waiting for is in- , telligent leadership, This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer • any question, Address' your letters to Bob -Ellis, Box 1, 123 • 18th Street, New Toronto, Ont, Is your vocabulary average?

' Burglars Defeat All Known Safeguards So runs the startling statement of a special Study Group set up by the Insurance Institute to London. They trace the endless struggle rbetween men seeking to protect their property and thieves trying to steal it. That whatever new security has been devised, the thief has . always beaten it by a newer ingenuity. Locks, bars, bolts, safes—even, bank strong -rooms — have been labeled the last word in burglar- proof protection. But all have given way to the attack of deter- mined cracksmen. "Strangely," comments the re- port of the group, "there have been few new inventions against burglaries. Nothing comparable to the combustion engine and • flying machine in other fields, Current devices are largely mere improvements on old ideas. The banker's . strong -room, a master- piece of anti -theft, is only little more than a' stone -walled room with a metal door," These devices are made more complicated, not to defeat the skilled cracksman, but only to make him spend a longer time breaking them down. Something he cannot always afford. Taking a Tip ! So the ingenous thief takes a tip from science. Using a. pneu- matic drill, he smashes his way through a wall, breaks down the concrete around the safe, and removes the unopened safe to wh9re he can work on it at his leisure. The Study Group of the In- surance Institute give this and other instances, One gang of crooks made use of a power- . operated grab to wrench away, a protective grille from its con- crete setting. They have used vehicle -operated battering-rams against • gates and doors. What are the police —, and • nightwatchmcn — doing all this time, you may ask?

A different matter. Since the end of the war bur- glary has increased sharply, So has the d a r in g and skill, of c r o o k s. Elaborate protections which take time to defeat are costly—and that is the biggest barrier to their adoption. And did you know that the strict rules governing fire safety often makes it easier for burglars to break-in? Section 36 of the Factories Act states that precautions are ap- plicable "whilst any- person is within a factory for the purpose of employment or meals." Right- ly so. But insurance men feel these rulings should be relaxed when the building is closed as anti -burglary assistance to gen- eral precautions. How often thieves step in by way of fire - escapes, More Light. Are there, then, no protections? Certainly no thin g absolutely crime -proof. The Study Group commend light, for there are less break-ins in well -lit ' places and summer evenings. Insurance com- panies favour steel bolts because of their strength, but they con- sider lock and door should be of equal strength, Neitheraudible nor inaudible alarms prevent crimes. Ringing`bells are said to alarm burglars, yet damage is done to goods even when silent systems automatically call the police, The ideal of insurance is to keep crooks out. The most pro- mising devices are electronic, already used to guard secret sec- tions of research stations and service airfields, These unseen, unheard alarms connected to the police operate indoors and across open spaces. Any movement in their area sets them into action. So crooks can be caught, but "More use should be made of television as a method,of spread- ing anti-crime propaganda," says the report of the Study Group, Yet still the major problem is unsolved—you cannot keep the better burglars away, ROLL YOUR OWN BETTER CIGARETTES wires FUJI SAM V81*1$8 CORN SALVE—For sure relief, Your Drugglst 'elle CRESS, REGNA CASH REGISTERS The modern Ca'h Register with the push button system, Has 0 clerk and 8 distri- bution keys, Gives automatic atamped cub receipt, $ Dolour', Write for folder*, and prices, Bushmen Equipment Machine', 480-11 King St, W„ Toronto.

Zeeland, one of The 'Netherlands' most fertile provinces, is slowly being rehabilitated, THIiFAM FOT Several years age', who would have though that air, condition- ing could save the life of any- one or anything? • Today we know it as something that is healthful and certainly comfort- able, if properly controlled, but to be used as a "life saver" is rather unique to say the least. ✓ * * The fact is, that the lives of thousands of newly hatched baby chicks ,' are being saved every year by .the air conditioner that Morris Gray has installed in his hatchery at Rossville, Ind. • • * Judging from this unique "Idea" of Mr. Gray's, it must be said that he certainly knows his business — and to further prove that statement, he owns end suc- cessfully operates two poultry farms, plus the hatchery at Ross- ville where he specializes in Barred Rock broiler chicks hatching about 30,000 a week throughout the year. • * Y Before Mr. Gray installed the air conditioner in his hatchery, he and other hatcherymen were losing many baby chicks every summer through heat suffoca- tion. It is extremely important to keep incubating rooms from getting too hot, but during the summer months nothing seemed to solve. the problem of beating the heat and the tragic, costly loss of the chicks. • * • Finally Mr. Gray hit on the ,idea of cooling his incubating rooms by installing an air con- ditioner. He called on the dealer over in neighboring town and, ' after sizing up the amount cool- ing needed, a 5 horsepower unit was installed. • • * Froin that time on there have been no chicks lost due to .heat suffocation. The incubating rooms are kept at the desired temperature and humidity all summer long. Also dirt and dust are kept out by the filtering ac- tion of the unit. * • • Mr. Gray reports that several neighboring hatcheries, in ad- dition to many in the East, had heavy losses' during the last hot weather season, and he feels these losses could have been. avoided with the use of air con- ditioning. • • •. An Associated Press story from Pittsburgh says rarmers now can burn coal to save their crops. It sounds queer, the story goes on, but it makes sense. The research organization of the coal industry, Bituminous Coal Re- search, Incorporation has devel- oped a coal-fired device. • * * By helping farmers harvest crops at the proper stage a ripe- ness, the crop drier reduces the losses from bad weather. And by providing a means of artificially drying crops, it eliminates an im- portant part of the hazards oi weather in making hay or har- vesting grains. a • • This drier, the story goes on, is portable and thus can be used in many locations and for many purposes on a farm, This drier also costs lessand it is cheaper to operate than other drying methods because it uses coal as the fuel.And 'it 'should prove a great asset, for the story quotes Agriculture Department • figures showing that bad weather robs crops of enough protein each year to give seven • and a half million cows all the protein they need for 'six months, , • * • This device not only is a for- ward step in agricultural prog- ress, but it also offers another important market for coal. For, as the Agriculture Department Yearbook says, "the mechaniza- tion of agriculture may have as far-reaching implications as the Industrial Revolution." Canadian and American farm- ers will pay at least $45,000,000 to feed the large roundworms in their hogs this year. ° * t That's the belief of Dr W. P. Elmslie, noted livestock nutri- tionist and co -discoverer of the sodium fluoride method of worming pigs. This hugs feed bill does not include the death losses caused by worms, or the additional time required to feed out wormy hogs. • 4 • Here's how Dr. Elmslie arrives at his estimates. Farmers are ex- pected to market about 90,000,000 hogs this year. Approximately half — or 45,000,000 — a r e "wormy," according to packers Dr. Elmslie believes each of these harbors at least 25 worms 0 * • Now, each worn requires one 'pound of feed. Figuring feed at 4 cents a pound, it costs $1.00 to feed the 25 worms in each wormy hog. That adds up to 45 million dollars for 45 million wormy hogs. • 4 • Since he helped discover the value of sodium fluoride as a hog anthelmintic, Dr. Elmslie has supervised thousands of worming experiments. Because sodium fluoride is toxic to hogs he cautions against using exces- sive doses, In fact, he has per- fected a three-day treatment that is not toxic to hogs, but is highly poisonous to worms, • * 1 The best way to slash the huge feed bill is to practice strict swine sanitation, he says. How- ever, because a single female roundworm can lay 26 to 27 ,pil- lion eggs, one wormy hog might easily infest an entire herd. For this reasonand because you i cannot tell f a pig has worms by looking at him, Dr. Elmslie rec- ommends treting . them with a safe, effective expeller as the one way to be sure they are free from worm damage. Any Excuse Is Better Than None In London a man was fined thirty shillings for keeping a horse in his boarding-house room. He sadly .explained to the police: "I was 'lonely." • 0 . * Police In New York • asked a man four times convicted of pick -pocketing how his hand managed to be in the pocket of a roan sleeping on a station bench. He replied: "I was walk- ing along when I had .a dizzy spell. I grabbed the bench, • but my hand slipped and went into his pocket." • * * • A roan charged with not obey- ing a traffic signal won his case when he explained to .the judge: "There were two ladies with me, which made the front seat crowded. I was too modest to reach over and change gear." • • • A negro arrested for the theft of a lawn -mower tried to tell the police; "1 didn't steal it. I just stumbled over, It and was too lazy to walk round It, so 1 push- ed it away." * A citizen of Vienna could offer only one explanation for the fact that he had been arrested for robbery: ''I've been an honest man up to now, hut a little while ago I had a blood transfusion, 1 mist:have been given the blood, of a thief.' HOW CAN 1? Q,—flow can 1 aid digestion?

A.—If the material is wash- able, dip it as quickly as possible into lukewarm water and a mild soap suds. In the case of non - washable fabrics, sponge with denatured alcohol, rubbing gent- ly until the stains disappear, WASTEFUL Two women were having tea together, and the hostess was in- dulging in complaints about her husband. He didn't come home early enough, he drank too much, he smoked too much, and so on. "And," she concluded, "he's terribly extravagant," By way of proving her point she led her friend to the hall and pointed to a fire extinguisher. "Look at that!" she said bit- terly.

In both vegetables and flowers one should aim at a succession of crops or bloom, With quick ma- turing things like beans, radish, spinach, lettuce, carrots. and so on the best plan, is to make suc- cessive sowings two weeks apart right up to early July. This will bring on a continuous supply of vegetables in the very prime of condition. With flowers, a cer- tain amount of succession is pos- sible, especially with those which normally are in bloom within six to ten weeks after planting Many people make it a practice to save a little of the seed in each packet, then plant this a few weeks laser.

Watch for Bugs Even with bugs and uise around, and there are few places. in Canada where these enema's are not lurking, it is possible to grow the finest of flowers and vegetables, if one is reasonably on guard. For every rest, for• tunately, there is a control oi cure. The plain thing is to get this control operating at the very first sign of attack. Careful gardeners will examine any damage like wilted or partially destroyed or eaten leaves, will regard with sus• picion any sudden check Care- ful gardeners will also supply themselves with some sort of a duster. or sprayer and the proper materials to go with them. There is all sorts of equipment avail- able, and for the small garden it is not necessary to spend more than a dollar or two. There are also specific dusts and sprays ready mixed for use, As a general rule, insects that eat the foliage are attacked with a poison such as DDT, arsenate of lead, etc,, while those that suck out the juices like aphids and other plant Tice are control- led with preparations incorpor- ating nicotine or tobacco solu- tions, lime, sulphur or special soap. Finely ground sulphur dust is an excellent preventive for diseases like rust. Above all it should be remembered that a healthy, well -cultivated, well - fertilized garden is the first and main defense. If plants are telt unthinned and surrounded with weeds, if the soil is poor and growth spindly and weak we have an ideal spot for pests to flourish. Keep a Record It's an excellent idea to keep a note -book and list certain jobs we are going to do for sure next year. We should also jot down such items as color and season of bloom, height, resistance to disease and drought and, of course, the name of any flower or shrub we see growing in a neighbous's garden that we hope to have in our own. With certain lines of nursery stock, most shrubs, trees, vines, etc., one can buy and plant in the fall just as well as next spring. By doing this we get these established earlier and save time for other tasks next year, Y Invitation Accepted, In Mil- waukee,citizens who were in- vited to help themselves to the kindling wood left over from. the dismantling of Borchert Field also carried off the , main gate, 118 benches, two tool sheds, $105 worth of tools.

Westminster Abbey- Focus Of All Eyes Probably no other single edifice in the world today so stirs the emotions of western men as does Wesminster Abbey — or simply The Abbey. as it is affectionately called, For in this ancient building will presently take 'place the corona- tion of Queen Elizabeth II, In June there will journey to Lon- don a multitude of visitors — citizens of England and the Com- monwealth over whom. the new ..(queen will reign, people from the Continent of Europe and beyond, others from the Americas, lovers of England and of the English from , across distant lands and seas, Closer to People The focus of all their attention will be The Abbey, still standing stalwart as it has stood now for almost 1,000 years, just across the square from the Houses.of Parlia- ment, thus evidencing that indi- visible link between church and state which is so firmly en- trenched in the English tradition, One might consider St. Paul's Cathedral more impressive, thrusting its great dome high against the pale blue sky, stretching its vast length along the top of Ludgate Hill and thus overlooking much of the city, the Thames, and the surrounding country. As for The Abbey, one might argue that it is humbler, less dramatic, lying as it does close to the soil, nearer to the river, as though it loved the very terrain of England, And this may be true; yet, built at first in the marshes about Thorney Island, gray and somber If one likes to fancy it so, Westminster Abbey comes closer to the people. It is at the throbbing heart of the Commonwealth with all its diversified and far -scattered citi- zens. No building more nearly typifies the unity and allegiance of the English people. Also, to an amazing degree, It touches the sympathies and calls forth the devotion of men outside the. Com- monwealth, What, indeed, is the first build- ing to claim the notice of the average newcomer to London? Why, Westminster Abbey, of course. Riding the top-heavy red busses as they charge down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square, hurrying through the dim pas- sages -of the Underground, trudg- ing on foot past the entrance to Downing Street and skirting the Cenotaph, come visitors to pay their solemn respects to The Ab- bey and, within itb eloquent walls, to say their ardent prayers for the peace of the world, Place To Meditate • Go in under the portico of the great door In the north trasept. The interior seems at first im- penetrable, so grope for a nearby pew and sit down until eyes be- come accustomed to the shadows. Perhaps it is the hour of after- noon vespers with the organ play- ing softly and those high, sweet voices of the choir boys pene- trating the reaches of the vast building, echoing under the vaulted roof, heard far down the nave to the west door and even in the exquisite chapel of Henry VII at the eastern end, Sit and listen and meditate, while gazing raptly at the jewel- like glass and delicate tracery of the rose window in the opposite trasept. Therein lies pleasure enough for some time. People move about silently, black shad- ows which' are scarcely notice- able, so absorbed one is in the significance of his surroundings. One quiets in the atmosphere of- the Abbey. There 'steals over the average man an awareness of its long consecration of the worship of God, down the ages from the time when King Ed- ward the Confessor demolished a ruder church on this site which had .been built by Sebert, King of the East Saxons, and laid the foundations of his own church, Edward did not long outlive the consecration of this church of his, which took place on the fifth day of January in the year 1066. Harold's coronation followed and then that of William' the Con- queror, the Norman, as is de- picted in one small, section of the Bayeux Tapestry, ti'or nine hundred years Westminster Ab- bey has been the place of crown- ing for all English kings and queens with the exception of two only. Now it will soon see one more' coronation—that of the young Elizabeth II, who has al- ready consecrated her life to the service of her people, to the wel- fare and safety of England and the Commbnwenith, At length, leaving one's seat near the north door, one moves reverently about the building and views all its wealth of ar- chitectural beauty and historical allusion, There is much to see. A week of steady application would scarcely include all the monuments in, for example, the Poets' Corner and along the nave and in the various small connect- ing chapels, The superb fan - vaulting of Henry VII's Chapel, the grey Coronation .Chair un- der which is encased the Stone of Scone, the worn flagstones and little steps used for so long by the monks of the adjoining monastery, the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier, the cloisters and little ancient squares, the en- trances to the Jerusalem Cham- ber and the Chapel of • the Pyx —these and incalculably more await the visitors' inspection, The Abbey is 'a veritable me- morial to immense numbers of England's famous sons; and, if not all the monuments are pleas- ing to the eye and if they are inexcusably crowded . in nave and aisles and transepts, certain individual tombs and 'memorials are most beautiful and touching in their implications, such as those of Queen Elizabeth and of Mary Queen of Scots, cousins who never met in life, In any case, it is not the details which so much matter; they fade in the pattern of the whole and its in- ner meaning. One accepts Westminster Ab- bey as the symbol of union among the English -s peaking peoples, the witness to their free- dom, the hope for the future of all right-minded men. Its mag- nificent accomplishment is that, in some inexplicable way, it con- trives to gather up the past with all its achievement, and the fut- ure bright with' hope for the hu- man race—gathering these to- gether into one mighty truth, re- assuring and significant beyond mere words to convey. Nowhere is there a building comparable to Westminster . Abbey, The Frenchman, Comte , de Montal- embert well described It when Ile wrote: "No monument has ever been more identified with the history of a people; every one of its stones represents a page in the annals of the country." Here is the perfect setting, then, for the consecration of a young and beautiful Queen, "God Save The Queen"—Seen above, in this scene from the film "Coronation Ceremony," is d preview of the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II. The Archbishop of Canterbury has just returned from the altar of London's Westminster Abbey, and is holding the Crown of St. Edward above the Queen's head. As he places it on her head the assemblage will shout "God Save the Queen." "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen of this realm 1 and all her other realms t and territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." Man Who Walked Off With Royal Crown It Vanished Under Eyes Of Guards When top State officials plan- ned the final details of the Abbey ceremony, they took the strictest • precautions to ensure that the Imperial State Crown is not mis- laid at the next Coronation, Why? ' Because that is just what hap- pened at the last. At the crowning of King George VI, the wondrous .Crown of nearly 3,000 gems—it 'contains some. believed worn by St. Ed- ward the Confessor, Henry V, Elizabeth 1 and Charles II, and is now valued at 0250,000—was missing just before the ceremony began. Those few high church digni- taries who knew of the "loss" lived the most .terrible fifteen minutes of their lives, Not a word of the dramatic happening leaked outside the ancient Abbey walls until recently, How could it happen? • How could thecentrepiece of the world's most closely -guarded col- lection of jewels be mislaid? How could the Crown vanish before the eyes of its guards? Such a thing was considered . impossible, But the impossible did happen and this is the sequence of events. On the afternoon of May 12th, 1937—the day before the Coro- nation—the regalia was brought from the Tower of London, and, as was customary, placed in the charge of the Dean of Westmin- ster, then The Very Rev. William Foxley Norris, who gave his re- ceipt for it. Overnight, the Crown Jewels lay in the Jerusalem Chamber, • There were armed guards in the chamber all night, and in the precincts of Westminster Ab- bey were concentrations of police, ready at a moment's call. There should have been several pairs of eyes always fixed upon those priceless possessions of the British State. Carried Empty Cushion Before the ceremony could .be- gin, the several items of regalia had to be placed in position in various parts of the Abbey, so as to be ready when the compli- cated ritual called for their use. This movement of the regalia within the Abbey takes place ac- cording to ancient custom. The Dean and the canons of West- minster—each with one piece on a crimson velvet cushion—carry the jewelled objects from the Jerusalem Chamber in Procession through the south and east clois- ters and into the sanctuary. Some of the jewels are laid on the high altar, others are placed on the altar in St. Edward's Chapel just behind the high altar. The rest of the regalia is next carried, still in procession, through the choir and nave to the, annexe by the west door to await the Sovereign., Here this part, of the regalia Is handed to the great officers of State for them to carry iii . the great pro- cession of the Sovereign from the west door to the "theatre" where most of the ritual takes place. During the procession of the regalia the Litany is sung and the congregation are in their places. The Dean of Westminster is privileged to carry the Imperial, State Crown. On the morning of May 13th, 1037, he was in his place in the line of prebendaries ready to be handed the Crown which he was to lay on the altar in St. Edward's Chapel, Ahead of him !the procession was starting, Several canons were moving off,.each carrying his pre- scribed piece of regalia. When the Dean came to take the Im- perial State Crown it was miss- ing! Those in charge of the regalia were dumbfounded, Nobody knew what had happened to the Crown. Earlier that momentous morning it had shared pride of place with St. Edward's Crown on the long refectory table on which the Crown Jewels had been displayed. The Dean's feelings can only be imagined. He was personally responsible •for the Crown—with- out it the ceremony could not proceed. He was in a terrible quandary. To have raised hue and cry—to started a search at that moment would have brought chaos to the Abbey. Split -Second Decision Dr. Foxley Norris was a man of .strong beliefs. He believed it inconceivable that the Crown had been stolen. He made his decision instantly, taking his place In the slowly moving line; carrying his cushion before him—empty. The procession wound slowly through the cloisters. Of the many who watched it enter the Abbey by the door on the south' side, none sensed the drama of the moment. The "loss" was known only to a handful of people, but one or two officials did think the Dean's empty cushion very strange. And so to the high altar and thence to St. 'Edward's Chapel. There, on the little altar at, the head of St. Edward's Shrine, was the Imperial State Crown! From a window high above the chapel a thin shaft of sunlight had set the immense Star of Africa dia- mond which is mounted in the rim, flashing like a beacon in a darkened world. The Dean's relief was enorm- ous. That diamond, scintilating In the gloom of the little chapel, must have lit his darkened world with the blaze of summer's noon. Miss 1'. G. Millman puts fin- ishing touches on a small scale reproduction of Westminster Abbey which is part of a large model of the coronation route. "Standing room only." That Is the way many will view the coronation. London lasses seen above sort applications, some from as far away as Australia Bible -Headlined At Coronation.... The Holy (Bible, styled the "most valuable thing that the world affords," takes higher precedence. than ever before in the coronation service June 2. The form of service has been changed to emphasize its place in British life, The fabric of religious history, the life and meaning of pagean- try, even much of the imagery of 20th -century English speech de- rives from the Scriptures. In the seventh century, Caed- mon was making his poetic ver- sion of the Scriptures. The Ven- erable Bede, " the father of Eng- lish learning" was at work in the eighth century. King Alfred, a direct ancestor of Queen Eliza- beth II, translated parts of the Old and New Testaments For this reason many have felt the presentation of the Bible to the sovereign should be em- phasized in the coronation cere- mony, Rearrangement of the order of service to bring this about and association of the Church of Scotland in the act of presentation have therefore giv- en much satisfaction everywhere. Churches to Cooperate Though the Churches of Eng- land and Scotland had their dif- ferences, "they both equally re- gard the Holy Scriptures and ap- peal to them," Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canter- bury said in announcing the changes. Through the Archbishop and But how did the Crown get to St. Edward's Chapel? The cere- mony had to proceed with the mystery unsolved; afterwards an investigation was held. It was discovered that a minor civil servant—"some tiresome official underling" the highest dignitary of the English Church called him —had done what was considered impossible. He knew • that the Imperial State Crown had to be in St. Edward's Chapel for the latter part of the ceremony. He did not know the procedure for getting it there. Guards Did Not See So this man, seeing the most valuable crown that exists—one gem from which would have kept him in luxury for the rest of his life= -resting on the table in the Jerusalem Chamber, when he thought it 'should be in St. Ed- ward's Chapel, acted in a very un -civil service -like manner. He picked up the Crown, walk- ed out of the Chamber, went straight to St. Edward's Chapel. He spoke to nobody. The guards did not see him. The Abbey clergy had no inkling of his action. The shattering thought is that he might have walked out of the Abbey. It seems inconceivable that the Imperial State Crown could disappear at a coronation —but it did. And the authority for this incredible story is none other than Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, who crowned King George VI. the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of The sentry box In front of Buckingham Palace gets a new coat of paint for the occasion.

Seen here Is a white Household Cavalry helmet with a trail. ing crimson and white plums Scotland, the two churches wits join together in presenting the Queen with the Bible. The presentation of the Holy Scriptures introduced first to the Coronation service in 1689 for the Coronation of William and Mary, has since then occurred after the crowning. Now it will take place near the beginning of the service im- mediately after the recognition and the oath and before tAe start of the communion service. "The Bible is thus given its rightful significance in the order of presentation," Dr, Fisher said. "The foundations are truly laid and the solemn rites can proceed. First the witness to the Word, and then the beginning of the Sacrament of the Holy Com- munion." Presentation Follows The presentation of the Holy Bible now comes after what might be called the introductory part of the service. When the Queen seated after taking the oath, the Archbishop approaches the chair, and the Moderator of the• General As- sembly of the Church of Scot- land, Dr. G. J. Jeffrey,. receives the Bible from the Dean of West- minsted and presents it to the Queen. The Archbishop mean- while repeats these words: "Our Gracious Queen: To keep your Majesty ever mindful of the Law and the Gospel of God as the rule for the whole life and government of Christian Prin- ces, we' present you with this Book, the most valuable thing that this world affords." The Moderator continues: "Here is wisdom. This is the royal law. There are the lively oracles of God." Queen Elizabeth II returns the Bible to the Moderator who brings it to the Dean of West- minster to. be placed upon the altar. When Royalty Traci A Flowerful Path In Coronations of Kings and Queens in earlier centuries the King's herb woman and her maids led the grand procession from Westminster Hall across Parliament Square to WestmIn- ster Abbey along a raised plat- form built for the purpose. As they went they carpeted the way with fragrant flowers taken from their baskets. George IV with his trainbearers — nine resplendent young men in ruffles and knee breeches — was the last monarch to walk to his Coronation over such a flower - strewn platform. The last herb woman to .per- form the duty seems to have been Miss Fellowes, Escorted by Mr. Fellowes (presumably her father) she and her maids, ele- gantly 'dressed in white, flung flowers in the path of Gorge IV.

Few suspected that the baby Princess — baptized Elizabeth Alexandra Mary — would ever become the second Elizabeth to sit on England's throne. Nobody at that time even though it probable that the Duke of York would ever become King, King George V, strong, soldierly and tifiright, gave promise of living for many years to come, His eldest son Edward, Prince of Wales, was next in line of succession and was immensely popular, The shy, retiring Albert, Duke of York, was only second in the line of succession, • Yet there were some who realized that there was a pos- sibility that Elizabeth might some day become Queen, al- though they could hardly have forseen the dramatic turn of events which was to lead to her succession, The Princess's initiation into the limitations of Royal life began when she was only eight months old; her mother and father had to be separated from her for six months while they went to Australia to inaugurate the new capital. Her early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, into which her parents moved shortly after their arrival home, It was a happy environment—spacious rooms, quiet but elegant period furniture; a courtyard just large enough to shut out the noise of the Piccadilly traffic; a small garden at the back facing directly the undulating greensward of Hyde Park, When learning to talk, the Princess mis-pronounced her name "Lilibet", a mistake which sounded so attractive that it was at once adopted and retain -4' ed, Lilibet was a great favorite with her grandparents and espec• %photographed, being cheered by ially with her grandfather, King blown gatroher, •Ota 1 er visit sto George V.

The Queen is not only the personification of the State, In law she is the supreme authority, an integral part of the legislature. This makes her the head of the judiciary in England and Wales, and Scotland, Bead of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the sole representative of the nation in international affairs. • Of course, in process of history, many of these prerog- atives have become restricted. Today the Queen acts on the advice of her ministers—advice which she cannot constitu- tionally ignore. .And the supreme legislative authority is the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which be- tween them represent all elements of the nation: But this does not mean that the Queen's duties are nominal; far from it, They are onerous and they are im- portant, The Queen reigns, if she does not rule, She sum- monses, prorogues and dissolves Parliament; she opens the new session with a speech from the throne; a Bill which has been passed by both legislative Houses requires her consent before it becomes law, The jurisdictions of the Courts de- rive from her; she makes appointments of peerages, knight- hoods and suchlike honours; as head of the established Church of England she is concerned with appointments within it IIer approval is required for a minister to assulne office or a Cabinet to.be formed.

The Duke of Edinburgh is wearing the uniform of Lieut. Commander of the Royal Navy with aiguillettes as a personal A.D.C, to the tette King, the Star of the Garter (top) and the Star of the Thistle. The Duke's medals are (left to right) 1939.45 Star, Atlantic Star, Africa Star, Burma Star (with Pacific Rosette), Italy Star, War Medal and Palm Leaf (anentioned in despatches), Coronation Medal, Greek Order of the Phoenix and French Croix de Guerre with Palm leaf. It is an unwritten tradition in Britain that the head of the Royal household be a Navy man—and in every sense of the term the man at the Queen's side is a Navy man, through and through. In a very real way, his Naval training has been of im- measurable help to Prince Philip in coping with •his rather difficult position as Prince Consort, a position which in pre- cise terms of precedence, can hardly be defined. But as head of his household and husband of Queen Elizabeth he is cer- tainly the best-known..citizen in Britain, and probably the most popular. What is he like, the man at the Queen's side? The Duke of Edinburgh was at one time sixth in line of succession to the Greek throne. His father was Prince An- drew of Greece, who died in 1943,•and his mother Princess Alice of Battenberg, daughter of the first Marquess of Milford Haven. He was born in Corfu, but from the start received a thorbughly British upbringing, spending most of his boyhood with his uncle, Lord Mountbatten, in whose house in Park Lane—as also at the White Lodge, Windsor and the Picca- dilly home of the then Duke and Duchess of York—he quite frequently met Princess Elizabeth. The young girl and the rather shy, lanky boy were good friends from the start, but it was only a childhood associ- ation. They exchanged presents and letters, but Philip, boy - like, was very much absorbed in boyish pursuits and had already announced his longing to make the Navy a career.

On July 9, 1947, King George VI, with great happiness, gave his consent to the betrothal of the Heiress -Presumptive to Lieut- enant Mountbatten, 11,N. The' whole nation and common - Wealth were happy about the match, and those around the Prin- cess were delighted, for they knew better than anyone else that it was indeed a love match, The marriage solemnized at Westminster Abbey was an event of great rejoicing and so, too, was the birth of Prince Charles a year later, Everywhere the couple have been together—in Paris or Washington or Kenya—the Duke has proved immensely popular, Many Responsibilities What is the role of a Consort? He is, of course, in no sense a King and has no special authority, But as head of his family. and confi- dential advisor to the Queen there is, manifestly, plenty of scope for his capacities. In the complex ad- ministration of the Royal house- hold, in the management of the Royal estates and arranging of countless state ceremonies, his understanding and support will be of great value. His own patronage of learned societies, too, is not simply a well-meaning acceptance of duty, He knows a goon deal about science and its vital import- ance in modern society. Recognizes 'Tradition On ceremonial occasions it will be noted that the Duke walks be- hind the Queen, IIe understands the recognized traditions of the monarchy too well to mind this. Ile has been nurtured. and bred on British tradition; that the Queens and Kings of England must be in direct line of descent is something he not' only knows but admires. It may be rather old-fashioned, but the British still consider the description "British" to be n proud title not to be bestowed indiscrim- inately, When friends who know the Duke of Edinburgh describe him as being "as British as they make 'em" they mean it in the very highest sense a compliment, — o The Duke and Duchess of Nor- folk are joint presidents of a Cor- onation Ball which will take place at the Albert Hall this month, A midnight 'Pageant of Coronations' will illustrate historic incidents of bygone ceremonies. Wonderful Pageant Impressive Procession 'Ere Coronation Of Queen Victoria It is a fain' assumption that when Queen Elizabeth II is crowned on June 2 this year, the ceremony in all its intricate detail will run without the unfortunate hitches which marked but did not mar the coronation of her great -great-grand- mother Queen Victoria, At the time of Queen Victoria's coronation in June, 1838, there was a deficiency in the national budget and a pessimis- tic few pressed for an "austerity" coronation, slim) of •its more costly trimmings. But neither Parliament nor the people would hear of it. However, it was decided to scrap the usual banquet in Westminster Hall—perhaps because, on the previous occasion, when George IV became King, most of the table silver was stolen by souvenir hunters. Colorful Procession 'The. procession from Buckingham Palace started at 10 a.m. and was an impressive sight. Ambassadors and minis- ters, bands, the royal carriages, more bands, the Yeomen of the Guard, officers and officials, cavalry,and the Queen in her state carriage, drawn by eight cream-coloured horses. She received a great ovation from the crowds on her way to the Abbey, where the ceremony, with all its solemnity and involved ritual, must certainly have been a trial to her. One queer feature of the procession was a gentleman who looked more important than all the others put together, and whose identity was speculated upon, with considerable inaccuracy, by the, crowds, He was, in fact, the Austrian Ambassador and his scintillating aspect, covered as he was from head to foot in jewels—even to the heels of his boots was breath -taking. . The police control of crowds and traffic was not nearly so efficient as it is today, for at Piccadilly the Queen was held up for 45 minutes. The ceremony in the Abbey differed in few respects from the ceremony to be enacted this month, but. there were certain blunders which will be most certainly avoided, Her Majesty was supported on either side by the Bishops of Bath and Wells, and Durhan. One of their primary jobs was to manner of folk, so help me God." keep the Queen informed of what This was followed by kissing Her was expected of her in the long and Majesty's hand, though certain exhausting ceremony, but both princes touched the Queen's crown were at times vague as to what and kissed her left cheek.

And that night London one, It had been made too small, but the Archbishop of Canterbury insisted on putting it on the fourth finger of the Queen's right hand, causing her pain and making it very difficult, afterwards, to get it off again, Lords Paid Hostage When it came to the point when the peers of the Realm had to pay homage ,Victoria kept her queenly dignity when she might easily have eopardized it by a justifiable but And .the Empire made merry as nopportune smile—or even a repri- never before with fireworks and mond.

PAGE Foul CORONATION SUPPLEMENT Queen Mother's Stoical Conduct Greatly Strengthened Monarc. Before the departure of the 1st Battalion, the Black'' -- Watch, for active service in Korea, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother inspected and addressed the Battalion at Crail Camp, Fife. It was May, 1952, less than four months after the loss of her husband, King George VI, but she had insisted on bidding Godspeed to the famous Battlion of which she is Colonel -in -Chief, The men on parade saw the same gracious lady who had come on three previous occasions when they had left to take up arms in a distant land. Here was the same poise, the same quiet, open smile, the same encouragement and interest in the regiment; no hint of the almost intolerable strain she had undergone. Here was the same charming lady who was able, during the war, to visit Londoners with her husband to com- fort them after the air raids, cool and unruffled after a de- liberate bombing of Buckingham Palace which had almost cost their lives, Ten days later the Queen Mother, with her daughter Princess Margaret, made a four-hour flight in a de Havilland Comet jet airliner, travelling a distance of 1,850 miles and flying over France, Switzerland and Italy. Much of the flight was at a height of 40,000 feet at a speed of•500 miles an hour. During the flight the Queen Mother took over the controls as first pilot. Her Majesty the Queen Mother was born on August 4th, 1900, Her father was the late Earl of Strathmore, who died in 1944. Her mother, Cecilia, died just before the war at the age of 76. Most of Her Majesty's early days were spent at Glamis. Lady Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon, as a young woman, was petite, full of vitality and of quite extraordinary beauty—a very Scottish type of beauty with her , bright blue eyes, splendid complexion, jet black hair and easy, aristocratic carriage, A lively interest in everything about her and a frank, friendly manner were the main features of her tem- perament. 4, Met Young Duke She had met the main who was to become her husband, when he was a boy of six, at a children's party. He was a frail boy, and before he became Duke of York his strength had been over -taxed in the Navy and the Royal Air Force, As a youth, he was shy, kindly, religious and keen, but with little appetite for public life. He was afflicted with a defect of speech which caused him embar- rassment and frustration, He pro- posed three tines before Lady Bowes -Lyon was able to accept his hand, but from the outset their marriage, which took place at Westminster Abbey on April 26, 1923, was supremely happy, Given Royal Title Their marriage was a precedent insofar as she was not of royal birth, though her family is, of course, of very ancient lineage. In fact she has royal blood in her veins, dating back to the time when Sir John Lyon of Glamis married Princess Jean, daughter of King Robert II, in 1377. At the wedding breakfast King George V conferred . upon the Duchess of York the dig- nity and title of Royal Highness. The royal couple spent their . honeymoon at a beautiful country house in Dorking, Surrey, which once belonged to the playwright Sheridan. She was now a public I figure, and at 22 was still as sweet and sedate as the villagers at Glamis and St, Paul's Walden Bury In Hertfordshire (a friendly home where she had spent so much time with her brothers and sisters) al- ways remembered her. War Blighted Happiness By this time her life hadn't been altogether care -free, . The First World War had blighted her happi- ness by the death of her brother Fergus, killed at Loos, and by the sufferings of Michael, at first re- ported killed but in fact a prisoner, But in marriage she found a per- fect outlet for her genius as a mother and head of a family. The birth of a daughter, Elizabeth, on April 21, 1926, saw her radiantly happy. Travelled Widely Even as Duchess of York, how- ever, and without there seeming any chance that her husband would ever be King, the round of public duties, was onerous enough, The Duke and Duchess visited Kenya Colony and Uganda in 1924, return- ing via the Sudan and Egypt, and a year later visited Ulster, In 1927 they sailed in H.M.S. Renown for a tour of Australia and New Zea- land. Two years later they visited Scandinavia, In all their travels they were noted as the ideally - matched couple; and , her smile, that pleasant, genuine smile, be- came world-famous, Her favorite pastime is rending, the works of Sir Walter Scott, J. M, Barrie and Jane Austen being her main preference, She likes flowers and dogs, She rode to • hounds occasionally but on the whole was not over -fond of sport, except, perhaps, angling, The abdication and her husband's accession to the throne meant im- mense responsibilities for her, King George VI was not robust, and his Consort's support, as he so often remarked, meant a great deal to him. With loving patience she helped him to surmount his speech defect, The happy family life she was able to provide and the keen personal interest she showed in all his duties, did much to sustain him, especially through the war years. Remained In London • That famous smile meant a lot during the war, Bombed -out fami- lies saw it when the Royal Couple appeared, as if by magic, after a heavy air-raid. Once in East Lon- don another air-raid started when they were out comforting the homeless, and they were forced to y —British 'Travel Association orlon) The Queen Mother take .shelter; the people remember their cahn behavior on that occa- sion and admired greatly their de- cision to stay in London during the blitz, despite the all -too -real haz- ards: Those war years had been an immense strain on the King, and she knew it, She did her best in the years to follow to spare him physical fatigue, and throughout his illnesses she never once be- trayed the anxiety she must of necessity have been feeling, But the nation knew, as it knows now, how much it owes to her patient good humor and acceptance of duty. So now, although her daughter is now Queen Elizabeth the Second, and although the Queen Mother, in terms of precedence, plays a sec- ondary role, the Commonwealth's affection for her is undiminished. During her 29 years of marriage she strengthened still further the unifying influence of the British monarchy, The assurance of our new Queen, and the loyalty her name invokes are the fruits of the Queen Mother's exnmple and ser- vice. The Historic Court Of Claims. In the panelled offices of the Privy Council in Whitehall Meets one of the strangest courts in the whole of the British Commonwealth. Nine of the highest dignitaries in the land, appoipted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to hear and determine claims of services to be performed at the Corona- tion, hold court. The Court of Claims, as it is called, meets before every Coronation to hear and decide appeals from the numberless people who wish to perform some service in connection with the Coronation. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Simonds, presided over the Court, and the other commissioners were Lord Woolton, Lord President of the Council; the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England; Lord Clarendon, the Lord Chamberlain; Lord Jowitt, a former Lord Chancellor; Lord Porter, Lord of Appeal Ordinary; Lord Goddard, Lord Chief Justice of England; Lord MacDermott, Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland; Sir Raymond Evershed, Master of the Rolls, The Court of Claims was constituted in 1377 because Richard. II, who had only recently come to the throne, was a boy of ten, and the arrangements for his Coronation had to be arranged by his uncle, John of Gaunt. To him came people seeking permission to perform services at the ceremony. These rights included acting as .a constable, being King's Champion (offering to fight any disloyal subject before the commencement of the coronation banquet) and carrying the canopy over the King during the service. Dealt With Petitions . 'd The Court of Claims last year made an early decision on the procedure by which it would judge claims. All were made by petition sent to the Court. Those who made clai►ns did not have to appear in person unless summoned' some were represented by counsel, solici- tors or agents, and if a previous claim at the last Coronation was admitted by the Court, and the same person made it again on this occasion, it was customary for the claimant to mention that, Restricts Claims If no counter claim was made by somebody else, a person granted rights at the last Coronation, and after proving to the Court that he was in fact that person, was allowed his claim without further fuss. Claims in the case of this Coro- nation related to the ceremony in Westminster Abbey only, Not since the crowning of George IV in 1821 have the banquet and state pro- cession been features of the Coro- nation. The great banquet, which used to be held in Westminster Hall, was discontinued through the parsimony of William • IV, who even wanted to abolish the Coro- nation ceremony itself! manor of Liston was not able to claim "to bring wafers for the Queen to eat during the second course," nor was the Lord of the Isle of Man able to ask to "bring two falcons." No Knight In Armor Many regret that the banquet is no longer held, It must have been a stirring sight to see the greatest dignitaries of the land celebrating the Coronation in the vast hall in the presence of the Sovereign. The arrival of the King's Champion, actually riding into the hall in full armor and on a white horse, fling- ing down the glove of defiance must have been a stirring spectacle —even if no man had the temerity to accept. the challenge. A pity, too, that the Lord Mayor of London was denied his historic privilege "to serve in hotelry (i.e., look after the drink) and assist the Chief Butler," Many Seek Honors Between 1901 and 1902, before the Coronation of Edward VII, the Court of Claims was particularly hard -worked, and there were so many contestants for privileges that the Court proceedings filled a bulky volume, But in both 1910 and 1936 the only claim to be actually disputed related to the carrying of the Great Spurs, emblems of the King's knighthood, Tho muddle arose from the fact that the first person recorded as carrying the spurs was John Marshal, at the Coronation of Richard I in 1189, IIe had the privilege by virtue of being Master of the Horse, but this right reverted to the Crown and was re - granted to various families. As a result, many thought the right was hereditary, instead ' of official, and a multiplicity of claims resulted. In 1936 three claims were made: one by five This meant that the lord of the . petitioners who claimed the right MAX, 10M1 400 Choristers!

Miss Joan Hassall, R.E,, well-known illustra- tor and wood -engraver, designed the curd, and Mr. S, B. Stead, the official Artist and Scribe of Her Majesty's Stationery Office, was responsible for the lettering. to appoint a deputy to carry, out the duty on their joint behalf; and by two single claimants, Lord Hastings and Lord Churston. The last two were, eventually, granted the privilege. One ancient tradition will cer- tainly be retained, though in modi- fied form, and that is the right of the Barons of the Cinque Ports (five famous ports which in the long ago rendered service to the Crown) to curry a canopy over the . Queen, Centuries ago this fine canopy, in cloth -of -gold or purple silk and with a silver -gilt bell on each corner, and supported by four silver -covered staves, was borne aloft in the procession from West- minster Hall to the Abbey, and then inside the Abbey as far as the dais where the Coronation took place. Barons, Lords Share Honor At the last Coronation the Barons' claim was allowed, but could only be enacted within the Abbey, the procession being no , longer a feature of the ceremonies. But as things turned out, canopies were only held over the King and Queen during the anointing, when the Barbs, according to ancient custom, should be waiting at the foot of the dais, As a compromise the King's canopy was held by four Knights of the Garter and the Queen's by four peeresses. As the various standard bearers passed to their places they handed their staves to the Barons, An Unusual Case One curious precedent will be set during this Coronation. Many privileges are vested in the owner- ship of land, because centuries ago Kings granted tenures in return for personal services rendered, But in the course of time, land neces- sarily changes hands. For instance, the Duke of Newcastle, who is the Lord of , the ;Manor of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, inherits the right to present the glove for the Queen's right hand at the Corona- tion. But the Duke has merged the . manor into a limited liability com- pany, So for the first time in history a commercial concern requested the Court of Claims to grant it the privilege, asking that the Duke of Newcastle be permitted to act as . the company's deputy, 0 Canadian Wrote Anthem Among the music to be heard in Westminster Abbey during the Coronation service is an anthem, specially composed for the event by Dr, Healey Willan,' distin- guished Canadian composer, 0 Riverbank Concerts Orchestral and band concerti will be held twice daily on the South Bank of London's river Thames during Coronation Week. MAY, 1955 CORONATION 1UPPLEMEN7 PAG PPM 46 Earl Marshal Of England, s uke Of Norfolk Responsible For Details Of Great Ceremony On the eve of June 2nd, 1953, the eyes of the world will be focussed upon Westminster Abbey and the historic.cere- money to be enacted there, Hyde Park will be crowded with sleepers (there were 50,000 last time) determined to be first in place along the procession route. The annexe to the Abbey will have been built, the precious tickets entitling• the bearers to enter the Abbey will. have been issued, and everyone will have been assigned a place in the coronation procession itself, The Crown Jewels will be in the Abbey under guard. Everything will be in readiness, and within a few hours the spectacle, with all its incredible complexity and colour, will begin to unfold, There will be mounting excitement, but one man will be calm through it all. He is the Earl Marshal of England, IIis Grace the Duke of Norfolk, who by hereditary right is responsible for every detail of great ceremonial occasions,' Although only 44, he has carried out his duties since the age of 27. These have included arrangements for the funeral of King George V, the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937, the wedding of our present Queen and the funeral of King George VI. On the last occasion he had only ten days in which to make the immensely detailed preparations, yet the disciplined solemnity of that sad occasion won him high praise. In his vivid. scarlet tunic, crossed with the blue sash of the Order of the Garter, and carrying his golden baton, the emblem of his ancient office, he was an impressive figure, The Duke is head of the College of Arms and of the Kings -of -Arms, Heralds and their ' Pursuivants; some of their titles, such as Rouge Dragon and Blue - mantle I'ursuivant, are as roman- tic as their uniforms, Ile is a multi -millionaire, has estates in ,Sussex (Arundel Castle is his fav- ourite home), Sheffield, Duntfrie- shire (Caclaverock Castle), Suf- folk and Oxfordshire, Itis family plate is said to weigh a ton. Ile is a Ronian Catholic, and has four daughters but no son. Masterly Organizer The Earl Marshal's habitual ex- pression Is one of quiet, unruffled attention, He is a masterly or- ganizer, and likes economy in words, clear thinking and action. Whether as n farmer, magistrate, soldier or state official, these qualities have all been remarked upon by those who work with hint, Even so, nobody has envied him his burden, He has planned the route of the procession and co-or- dinated with the police plans for security and order, These were con- sultations with the heads of Serv- ice departments on the contingents and representatives of the various services`in the procession, and for the lining of the route. The most precise arrangement's were mode with the Constable of the Tower of London for the transport and guarding of the priceless crown jewels, The biggest headache, undoubt- edly, was the allocation of tickets for the ceremony itself. Normally the Abbey holds about 2,600 people but at the lust Coronation the scuting capacity was increased to '7,700, tiers and galleries being erected within the Abbey, Hun- dreds of workmen erected the scaf- folding, laid protective covering on the stone floor, and arranged temporary ppenings for ingress and egress. Glass was removed from some windows so that specta- tors can go straight to their seats, Many Problems Among the most difficult de- cisions to make were those regard- ing. the guest lists. Who should bo invited and where should they be placed? Nobody must be offended, but there just isn't room for every. one. Every Dominion, Colony, De- pendency and the representatives of every foreign power had to be considered. Such was also the case in the .claims of heredity. Canada is important, but tiny San Marino hqd to be remembered also, Nor could the limited seating be al- located solely on the basis of Em- pire unity, diplomatic precedence or historic predecent; for public service must also be considered. At the last Coronation ordinary work- ing people, the widows or depen- dents of some who had fallen in war, had seats which were refused to the rich or high-ranking, Timing important The timing of everything is supremely important.

And there are number- less physical details—the laying of nn immense carpet, 173 feet long the preparation and placing of al the equipment used in the ritual. Works With Commission Much of the advance planning was done by the Coronation Commission, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is chairman and the Earl Marshal his deputy, It in- cludes 36 representatives of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon (India, being a Re- public within the Commonwealth and not, unlike other Dominions, acknowledging Queen Elizabeth as Queen of India, has no member on the Commission), It also includes the Archbishop' of Canterbury, Dr. Fisher, prominent ministers and representatives of the main poli- tical parties. Numberless matters of delicacy are involved in the arrangements, There were raised eyebrows at the last Coronation for instance when the Russian and German ambassa- dors were placed next to each other.

For Many Britons Flew people are ever able to take a leisurely and detailed view of the Coronation Coach and its es- cort.

This representation—which in- cludes the eight grey horses, out- riders, walking men, Yeomen of the Guard, and the escorting offi- cers of the Household Cavalry— has cost many times the amount of the original coach when it was built in 1702. 0 The British Council of Industrial Design bus announced a competi- tion for designs of outdoor sent for parka, beaches, bus -stops, and so on, Since many local authori- ties plan to commemorate the Cor- onation by providing new public seats, the Council hopes to assist ' by fostering a high standard of design. the Court of Claims, an ancient tribunal which, ever since the ac- cession of Richard II in 1377, has met to consider claims to perform certain services for the Sovereign, The Court usually meets in the Privy Council Office in Whitehall with either the Lord Chief Justice or Lord Chancellor as president, The most prominent of citizens concerned with the Coronation presented their claims in the normal way. Thus the claim from the Dean and Chapter of West- minster Abbey was "to instruct the Queen in the Rites and Cere- monies and " to assist the Arch. bishop of Canterbury , , ." There was another claim , , , "to carry the Royal Standard of Scotland as Hereditary Royal Standard Bearer for Scotland," All claimants trace their rights through ancestry or historic pre- cedent. But not all claims are easy to resolve. Should there, for in- stance be a Queen's Champion? The King's Champion used to be one of the most interesting feat - tires of the Coronation, A banquet at Westminster Hall once followed the Coronation, at which, before food was served, the Lord High Constable and Earl Marshal, ac- companied by the King's Cham- pion, entered on horseback. The Herald would then proclaim that "if any person, of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our sovereign lord , .. here is his Champion, who saith that he Beth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat with him ." The King's Champion then threw down the gauntlet which lay there until the Herald picked it up and returned it to hint. Three 'times the glove was thrown (nobody in history ever accepted the challenge) 'and then the King 'drunk the Champion's health, A pleasant custom, but it went into disuse in 1821, A claim to exercise the right of Champion may be made and heard, however, Not Remunerative What pay will the Earl Marshal get for arranging the greatest and solemn pageant in history?

The sense of occas;ion inspired by the presence of the most distinguished people in the world; the majesty of West- minster Abbey itself, its grey stones steeped in the history of centuries; the brilliant robes and uniforms; tiaras, medals and or- ders scintillating in the mellow light . , , the stately ritual, the prayers, the music and singing ... it is a symphony in sight and sound' But it is, of course, very much more than that, it is a service of dedication, evolved over a thousand years. it is rich in symbolism— meanings conveyed by signs, ges- tures, rituals and objects. And there are innumerable survivals from the ceremonies of long ago. Queen "Recognized" One of the oldest is probably the ceremony of "recognition", a direct survival of the old. custom, in Anglo-Saxon times, of the elec- tion of kings by the bishops and people, As the royal procession moves up the Church and the na- tional anthem is played, the Queen reaches a raised dais between the high altar and the choir. The Archbishop of Canterbury moves, together with the Lord Chancellor, Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord High Constable and the Earl Mar- shal, to first one side of the stage and then another, so that the wait- ing throng are addressed from every direction. Then he makes his declaration and appeal: "Sirs, I here present unto you Queen Elizabeth, the undoubted Queen of this Realm: Wherefore, all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?" Dramatic Moment While these words are spoken, the Queen stands by the chair and, turning shows herself to the con- gregation, in all four directions. This is a dramatic moment! and one that seldom fails to bring a lump to the throat of a visiting spectator, for the concourse sig- nify their approval with the fer- vent cry of GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! The cheers ring out, the trum- pets blare, and we are taken back over fifteen hundred years, when kings were elected by the spoken votes of their people. Now the real ceremony of Cor- onation begins, for when the bishops and choir have sung the Litany, Holy Communion is cele- brated. Solemn Oath The Coronation Oath, which is next administered,' hits changed in wording over the centuries. In its earliest form the king has three main duties; to maintain the peace of the Church, and civil peace, to prevent wrong -doing and to uphold justice with mercy. "Their office", wrote Professor Trevelyan, "was sacrosanct, a commission from God, not to do heir own pleasure but to enforce the law, by and through which they reigned." In the past there has been dis- pute as to whether the oath bound the king to accept future parlia- mentary legislation, Charles the First was disabused by losing his head, James the Second, who wanted to make laws as well as uphold them, was driven from his throne by the revolution of 1688, When William and Mary were wel- comed by parliament as joint sov- ereigns, a new oath was worded, and except for minor changes has remained substantially the sante ever since. Amendments Necessary The Union with Scotland, the Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland and the changing constitu- tional status of the member coun- tries of the Commonwealth have, of course, necessitated amend- ments. Because of constitutional changes which have taken place since the Coronation of Icing George VI, some alterations will probably have to be made in the wording of the oath taken by the new Queen, If the oath follows the form observed at the last Cor- onation, the Archbishop of Canter- bury will demand of the Queen: Archbishop: Will you solemnly promise and sweat' to govern the peoples of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa ... according to their respective laws and customs? The Queen; I solemnly promise so td do, Archbishop: Will you to your power .ause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements? The Queen: I will. . She next promises to maintain the "Protestant Reformed Reli- gion" established by law and pre- serve the settlement of the Church of England. Next follows the most solemn moment of the Coronation Service—the anointing. The choir sings the hymn "Venn, Creator Spiritus", after which the Arch- bishop, in a prayer, will say: "0 Lord, Hilly rather, who by anointing with oil didst of old make and consecrate king s, priests and prophets ... Bless and sanctify thy chosen servant ELIZABETH, who by our office and ministry is now to be anointed with this Oil, and con- secrated Queen of this Realm." Anointing Ceremony The Queen will discard her outer robes and seat herself in the an- cient Coronation Chair, containing the Scone Stone, on which kings were crowned over eight hundred years ago. The chair itself was finished in 1301, and has been used continually ever since. The holy Oil is poured into a silver -gilt spoon from the ampulla, a gold vessel shaped like an eagle, and the Queen will be anointed on the head, the breast and the palms of both hands by the Archbishop. "As Solomon was anointed king by Zadok ... so be you anointed, blessed and consecrated Queen over this people , .."

Symbolic of Power Now conte the emblems of tem- poral power, The golden spurs, emblems of chivalry, are removed from the altar by the Dean of Westminster and handed to the Lord Chamberlain, who touches Her Majesty's heels ' with them. The magnificent State S w or d, made for £6,000 for the Corona- tion of. George IV in 1821, is hand- ed to the Queen by the Archbishop with the admonition to ".. , do jus- tice, stop the growth of iniquity, protect the holy Church of God, help and defend widows and or- phans ..." At the head of the hilt is a huge diamond hedged in with rubies. The rest is heavily en- crusted with diamonds, while the scabbard is pure gold. This sword is girt about a king, but will be placed in the Queen's right hand. It is heavy, and will later be "redeemed" for 100 shill- ings after the Queen has placed it herself on the altar. (The point here. is that at the moment of handing over to the sovereign the sword becomes the property of the Church, but is later recovered by the Keeper of the Jewel House from the Archbishop).

It is not the most important feature of Um Coronation, which is primarily a religious ceremony with the anoint- ing as its most solemn moment. But the crowning is a climax, The placing of St. Edward's Crown on the Queen's head is the signal for tremendous cheering. The grey stones of the Abbey will echo to the simple but inspiring words: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! The peers don their coronets, the trumpets sound, and at the Tower of London the ancient cannon boons their salute. The Queen will then receive from the Archbishop the Bible, Chalice and Paten. Of the Bible, he will tell her that 11,it is the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom; this is the Royal Law". The Chalice and Patten, of pure gold, are the conn- munion cup and plate used for Holy .Communion. The Coronation ceremony will be over. Princes and peers will pay homage. The stately procession will line up and leave, and a hush of expectancy will spread through the crowded streets outside, where the Queen's loyal subjects await to pay their own personal tribute to a young and lovely sovereign. Along Route Of Royal Procession Are Famous Buildings, Monuments In her Coronation Progress Queen Elizabeth II will be seen by a vast concourse of people in' the Mall—one of London's very few straight leafy avenues—in five of its famous streets—Whitehall, Pall Mall, St, James's Street, Piccadilly and Regent Street—and in others, in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park and on the Embankment, The Procession will not go within a mile of the Cityof London (as the once walled city,, over which the Lord .Mayor presides, St. Paul's Cathedral arises and the Bank of England broods, is still called), nor will it pass near the hall of the London County Council, the centre of London government. But the Houses of Parliament will be toweringly • in the picture. Years Alter Route Much of the route of the Pro- cession has n changed look to those who can remember the Coronation of Edward VII. Buckingham Palace itself in 1912 had its face lifted from plaster to Portland stone, t h o' Victoria Memorial with the great queen sitting high over marble fountains, seeming on occasions such as this to review the comings and goings of her descendants, was erected in King Edward's time, and the new Mall with the pillars and statuary, the gift of the Commonwealth, were all part of the plan for a processional approach to 'the Purace carried out in the reigns of Edward VII and George V. The Quadriga or Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner—it symbolises Peace and wasust there when Zeppelins dropped bombs on Lon- don in World War I—and the Admiralty Arch at the east end of the Mall were part of the sane scheme. In World War II bombs fell on the royal apartments of the' Palace; Whitehall was unscarred, but the House of Commons was destroyed (now rebuilt) and the Abbey damaged.

Then (Continued on Page 8) MAY, 1968 Priceless Treasures CORONATION SUPPLEMENT frown Jewels Housed In Tower Of London In the Wakefield Tower, a vaulted chamber of the Tower a - of London where Henry VI was imprisoned and murdered, are housed the Crown Jewels which will figure in the Coro- nation ceremony. Visitors gaze spellbound at the lustrous gold orbs, the Royal Sceptre containing the largest cut diamond in the world and the fabulous Imperial State Crown which contains 2,783 diamonds, 277 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 5 rubies. These however are only a few of the items constituting the Royal Regalia, which include St. Edward's Staff, the Spoon and Ampulla, the Golden Spurs, the State Swords, the Orb, Ring, Sceptres and the Crowns. Their value cannot be stated because obviously they would never be put up for sale, but certainly they are worth, intrinsically, many millions of dollars. A fine haul for a burglar, if he was rash enough to risk electrocution or de- capitation—two penalties which, it is rumored, would have. to be faced by a prospective thief, The Crown Jewels have had their vicissitudes. Once the Regalia were housed in Westminster Abbey, but bits and pieces had a habit of disappearing. Following an attempt to rob the Abbey in the reign of C Henry iII the jewels were remov- ed to the '!'ower of London, the ini- piegnable stronghold by the River Thames, which took nearly 200 years to build (between 1078 and 1272) . Thief Rewarded Even at the Tower of London the jewels were still a temptation. An ]rish adventurer, Colonel Blood, wheedled his way into the confi- dence of the assistant keeper, over- powered him with the help of two accomplices and nearly got away with the State Crown and Orb. The sequel was strange, for in - Mead of being executed the thief was rewarded by King Charles 1I with a pension of £500 a year—a huge sum in those days. Most people assume that all the regalia are of great antiquity. This, however, is not the case. Dur- ing the Commonwealth regime of Oliver Cromwell, from 1649 to the Sovereign after the anointing, as an emblem of chivalry, but since the Coronation of Queen Anne it has been the custom of the Lord Great Chamberlain simply to touch the Sovereign's heels with them.

The existing Crown was made for Queen Victoria in 1838 and embodies many historical gems, the Black Prince's ruby, sapphire from the ring of Edward the Confessor, Queen Elizabeth's earrings and many other ancient gems. In front is the Second Star of Africa, weigh- ing 3091/2 carats, cut from the great Cullinan Diamond. In all the Crown contains 2,783 diamonds, 277 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and five rubies. St. Edward's Crown, copied in the time of Charles II from the ancient Crown worn by Edward the Confessor, is the Crown of England and is the Crown with which all our Monarchs since that time have been crowned. 1660, the priceless relics which for six centuries had figured in the crowning of England's monarchs were broken down. On the restor- ation of the Monarchy in 1660 strenuous efforts were made to track down and re -assemble such pieces as had not been broken or defaced. A few gems were recover- ed undamaged, including the Black Prince's rugby and St. Edward's Sapphire, which adorn the Impeg- ial Crown today. Ancient Regalia The only pieces of the present regalia which have featured in the crowning of English monarchs be- fore 1660 are those two gems, Queen Elizabeth's pearl car -drops and the Stuart Sapphire from the Crown of Charles II. The Spoon and Ampulla, which will be 'used in the CorolatIon ceremony for the solemn moment of anointing, date from the pre -reformation days. The spoon has been used, it is thought, in Coronation ceremonies for nearly 800 years, for its work- manship is in the style of the late 12th or early 13th century. The Ampulla is a gold vessel shaped like an eagle, through whose beak the sacramental oil is poured into the spoon. The Archbishop of Can- terbury will dip two fingers into this spoon and anoint the Sover- eign with the sign of the Cross. The Golden Spurs, of solid chas- ed gold,. used. to be buckled on to fully worked in rubies, diamonds and emeralds. The hilt and grip are thickly studded with diamonds and other genas. Symbols of Justice The second and third swords represent spiritual and temporal justice and together with the Corinna, which has a broken -off point and symbolises mercy, are carried on the ceremony before the Sovereign. It has been the custom to carry three swords of this type ever since the time of Richard 1st in 1189. The Orb of State, delivered into the Queen's hands during the Coronation, represents independent sovereignty under the cross. The Orb used today was made for King Charles II and consists of a globe of gold heavily encrusted with gens. The Archbishop, placing it in the .Queen's right hand, will remind her of the significance of the cross surmounting it: "When you 'see this Orb' , . , remember that the whole world is subject to the power and Empire of Christ our Redeemer." Coronation Ring When the Orr has been handed over, 'the Keeper of the , Jewel House then hands the coronation Ring to the Archbishop, who slips it on to the third finger of the Sovereign's right hand. Next comes the Sceptre, the "Ensign of Kingly Power and Justice," sometimes called the Baculum. As a symbol of sover- eignty it is older than the Crown itself. As a work of art, it is of breathtaking beauty. Originally made for Charles II and since added to and improved, it is nearly three feet long and heavily studded with jewels, though the centro is of plain gold to form a grip. Its pear-shaped stone, the largest cut diamond in the world, weighs 616%a carats and was cut from the Cullinan diamond presented to King Edward VIi by the Trans- vaal Government in 1907. The ori- ginal diamond weighed 11/2 pounds. King Edward's Crown The final act in the Coronation is the placing of King Edward's crown upon the Queen's head. It is so large and heavy, consisting of over 7 pounds in weight of pure gold and gems, that it is doubtful ?f the Queen will wetw it for more than a few minutes before ex- changing it for the lighter Im- perial Crown of State. King George VI, with characteristic patience, suffered it for 30 minutes of the coronation service, though his father, King George V found —British Travel Association Photo THE THREE STATE SWORDS The Sword of State (in the centre) is a two-handed sword, the length of blade being32 incites. The handle is of git metal, the cross- pieces representing the lion and the unicorn. The scabbard is dec- orated with diamonds, rubies and emeralds in designs of the Rose, the Thistle and the Shamrock. At the Coronation the Peer who car- ries the Sword of State delivers it up to the Lord Chamberlain who, in exchange, gives him the Jewel- led Sword. The second sword is known as the Sword of Jestice to the Spirituality, and the third sword as the Sword of Justice to the Temporality. • —British Travel Assoclntion Photo dramatic and stirring episodes in England's history than any other single building. —British '!'ravel Association Photo TIIE ORBS There are two Orbs, one for the King and the other for the Queen. The Queen Orb owes its origin to Mary, wife of William of Orange, who insisted on a joint occupation of the Throne. The King's Orb is the larger, and is of polished gold studded with large pearls, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. It is placed in the Ring's right hand im- mediately after the King has put on the Royal Robe. a few minutes quite enough. King Edward VII who was in a poor state of health at the time of his coronation, was actually crowned with the lighter version and (lid not wear the heavy Crown at all. Murdered For Jewel The great glowing ruby in the larger crown has a bloody and interesting history. Two inches by one and u half in size, in 1367 it was owned by a King of Granada in Spain who was murdered by a neighbouring prince who wanted to possess the stone. In turn he gave it to the Black Prince! who wore it in battle. Later, it saw the tumult and slaughter of Agincourt when carried by Henry V, and the carnage of Bosworth field, when carried by Richard.lII. When Richard was killed the crown was found in a bush. Crom- well's vandals, when breaking up the Crown jewels, valued this fabulous gem at a mere A. How it was recovered after the restor- ation of the Monarchy in 1660 it is not known, but even then its adventures were not at an end. For when Colonel Blood tried to steal the Crown jewels the ruby fell from its setting and was found in the pocket of one of his accom- plices. Stolen Gen Returned The sapphire in the cross sur- mounting the Crown is said to have come from the ring worn by Edward the Confessor at his coronation in 1042, which would make it over 900 years old. It was buried with him in Westminster Abbey, lost when his tomb was desecrated . and, in a mysterious way, found its way back to the Royal Regalia, Perhaps a priest who connived at its theft, and had hidden it, was later stricken with remorse and restored it to its proper place. —British Travel Association Photo The head of the Royal Sceptre, containing the Great Star of Africa, cut front the Cullimnn Diamond. WI EIGHT CORONATION SUPPLEMENT MAY, 1953 Taxpayers Don't Bear Royal Household Costs Income From Duchy Of Cornwall Greatly Exceeds Annual Expenses The Civil List—as the authorized payments to the Royal IIousehold are called—provide an annual sum of £475,000 to meet the cost of what is probably one of the most complicated "organizations" in the world. It looks like a lot of money, but since the value of the pound has more than halved since the days of King Edward VII, who received £470,000, it is clear that the present Sovereign must make do on half the original income. The next point to be perfectly clear about is that this sum is not personal income. It maintains not simply a per- sonal home but a complex, smoothly -running organization which is a vital and valued part of the Commonwealth. "Her Majesty's Household" is a broad, general term embodying the state and constitutional machinery that re- volves around the Sovereign, The Select Committee which recently reported on the Civil List, commented, in fact, on the enormous increase in the scope and burden of the Sov- ereign's duties. Royal visits within Britain itself are in- numerable; they give great pleasure and are an important part of a Queen's duties. The number of public functions increases. There are more official visitors to receive, for instead of only one Commonwealth Government there are now several, whose members have the right to be received when they visit Britain. The number of Ambassadors ac- credited to the Court of St. James grows larger every year. With the decreasing value of money, the late King George effected many economies, and the Select Committee agree that there is no scope for further saving. Not billy is the Royal Household run with an economical efficiency which some business houses might well envy, but considering its complexity and heavy responsibilities, it costs extraordinary little, It is far less than the cost of a battleship. It costs less in a year than the British people gamble in a single week; it is less than half the gross income of two famous English Dukes, and a mere pittance conn-^ pared with the fabulous personal incomes of some Eastern poten- tates whose names are not even known to the man in the street. Revenues From Duchy The value of a monarchy such as ours cannot, of course, be mea- sured in terms of cash. What is not generally understood however, is that in point of fact the British taxpayer does not pay a penny to- wards the expenses of the Royal Household. The Queen, who is en- titled to the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, foregoes that income presenting it to the Exchequer and receiving instead a grant by way of the Civil List. Now the income from the Duchy of Cornwall, and from Crown Lands, amounts to a total of £1, 212,000. Far from costing the na- tion £470,000 a year, therefore the Queen in fact makes the nation a present of very much more than that. How does the money go?

One can hardly define it precisely, because some of the Soy- ' ereign's servants, while an import- ant part of the entourage, do not actually live at the Palace; others hold of rce by tradition but in rac- tice have little connection with the Court. "Household" for instance includes the Keeper of the Jewel, Best Known Clock House at the Tower of London and the Yeomen of the Guaui are equally Royal servants. Broadly speaking, the . Royal Household consists of a number of departments, each with a head. Some servants whose office is of extreme antiquity and who figure in the most important of functions are not paid anything but a nom- inal wage. Tine Heralds, for in- stance, whose office goes back to Norman tines, and who figure in Proclamations, the State opening of Parliament and suchlike occa- sions receive, for their highly dec- orative duties only a few pounds a year—less than an energetic char- women can earn in Britain nowa- days by scrubbing floors, Simi- larly, many "servants" give their services free and are proud and glad to do it. Treasury Expert Luckily for the present Queen, Sir Ulick Alexander, recently ap- pointed Keeper of the Privy Purse and Treasurer to the Queen, has held that post since 1936, and has served the Royal Family in vary- ing capacities for over 30 years. Looking always immaculate and less than his 64 years, he isfeven- teinpered, a brilliant administrator and has handled the finances of the Palace so expertly that the public were unaware that balanc- ing up was often not an easy task. Sir Ulick is enormously popu- lar with the Palace staff. His good humour and competence help them to solve all problems. His Irish ancestry and his background— Eton, Sandhurst, service with the Coldstream Guards in Egypt and Palestine, Political Secretary to the Earl of Athlone while Gover- nor-General of the Union of South Africa—have combined to make of him the perfect•"Royal servant". 0 Works .Of Famous Poets, Composers Get Public Preview Twelve songs for the Corona- tion, written by Britain's most dis- tinguished composers and poets will be heard for the first time on June 1, at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

The Coronation Chair nude of oak hi 1300.1301 has been used at every Coronation for the Crowning or anointing of the Monarch since the Coronation of Edward II. The chair is 6 ft. 91/2 inches high and when first made was enriched with gilt gesso decorations and glass mosaics. In the 17th and 181h centuries the chair was greviously mutilated but some of the original decoration remains, The Coronation Chair rests on four lions, The seat is made to slide in and out, and in the space beneath rests the Stone of'Scone, The Coronation stone is a roughly cut rectangular hewn block of coarse-grained reddish grey sandstone 261/2 inches by 161/2 inches by 11 inches thick. Itwas placed near the shrine of Edward the Confessor in Westminster Abbey before being incorporated in the Coronation Chair. Warriors Will Escort The Queen On Entry Into Westminster Abbey By Peter Wildeblood (London Daily Mail) The men who led Britain's fighting forces in the war have been chosen to walk beside the Queen when she enters Westminster Abbey on Coronation Day. In January the Earl Marshal announced the names of those who have been chosen for the Queen's Procession— names, which were made famous on the battlefields of Burma, of France, of the Western Desert, in the air, and at sea. The chief honour, of walking in front of the '.Queen carrying the St. Edward's Crown, has been given .toAdmiral of the Fleet Viscount Cunningham, war -time Commander - in -Chief Mediterranean and First Sea Lord. His appointment as Lord High Steward is made for Coronation Day alone. Field -Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein will carry the Royal Standard, The Sceptre with the Cross, which contains one of the largest diamonds in the world, will be borne by Marshal of the R.A.F. Viscount Portal, who was head of Bomber Command and Chief of the Air Staff during the war. The office of Lord High Constable of England; which was carried out at three successive Coronations by the ,great Duke of Wellington, has been given to Field -Marshal Vis- count Alanbrooke, the war -time Chief of the Imiierial General Staff. He will walk in the procession beside the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk. The Standard of Ireland The Orb, a golden globe sur- mounted bv a jewelled cross, will be carried into the Abbey by Field - Marshal Earl Alexander of Tunis Mediterranean Supreme Command-,er at the, end of the war. • Others in the procession who have given distinguished service to their country. are Lord De L'Isle and Dudley, V.C.—who will carry the Standard of Ireland— and three holders of the Military Cross: the Earl of Derby, carrying the Standard of England, Vis- count Allendale and Earl Fortes- cue, who as Knights of the Garter will hold the golden canopy over the Queen during the Anointing ceremony. The Union Standard will be borne in the procession by Captain J. L, M. Dymoke, whose ancestors have taken part in Coronations since the 14th century. Up to the Coronation of George IV the head of the Dymoke family acted as King's Champion, He had the right to appear, fully armed and on horseback, at the banquet after the Coronation and challenge to mortal combat anyone who dared to gainsay the Sov- ereign's right to the Crown, This picturesque custom wasafterwards abandoned, together with the ban- quet, and the Dymokes have since then been given a less colourful part in the celebrations.. Another hereditary right to take part in the procession is that of Vis- count Dudhope, who will bear the Standard of Scotland as his fore- bears, the Scrymogeour—Wedder- burns—the first name means "a good fighter" — have done for generations, Began With King Charles I These mien, with other represent- atives of the Churcht the mobility, and the Orders of Chivalry, will be bv the Queen's side when she en - Procession Travels Historic Route (Continued from page 6) by dull Northumberland Avenue to the Embankment and to Parlia- ment Square and so to West- minster Abbey. On her return from the Abbey the crowned Queen comes by storied Whitehall, past the Banquet Hall which Inigo Jones built for James I and from which James's son, Charles I, stepped to the scaffold;, past Downing Street where Premiers live and past all the chief Ministries; on through Trafalgar Square again, and on to our most gregarious male streets —Pall Mall St. James's Street and Piccadilly, where London's chief clubs hive and mildly buzz. Many Exclusive Clubs In Pall Mall the chief clubs are the Athenaeum, the Travellers, the ]reform, the United Service the Oxford and Cambridge, the United Universities and the Malborough founded, they say, by Edward II, when Prince of Wales, be- cause he was not allowed' to smoke at White's); the largest is the Royal Automobile and near it stands the blitzed shell that was the Carlton. These lay monaster- ies compose a street unique in the world, and the most stately char- acteristic thoroughfare in London. St. James's Street, with its Palace at the bottom and Iiolland's seem- ly Brooks's Club White's Club (the oldest club) and Boodle's with its elegant fanlike front and others, may dispute this. The street has also a bootmaker whose wares al- most establish your social status and a wine merchant whose great scales have weighed (and kept the records of) royalties, peers and notable folk for 200 years. Stately Buildings Piccadilly with the Green Park bowering one side at its western end, its happy undulation that so enlivens its distance its hotels and club buildings and old family man- sions (now nearly all offices) ending in Apsley House where the Duke of Wellington lived and now is his museum, is London's most charming street, And so north by the East Carriage Way of Hyde Park, alongside Park Lane that is becoming the boulevard of fashion- able hotel life, to the Marble Arch that once stood in front of Buckingham Palace. A Show Street Then eastward by Oxford Street with its vast shop and hinterland of eminent squares and streets. At Oxford Circus the Procession moves south down Regent Street, one of the few London show streets that were designed as a whole. It was built as a grand driveway for the Prince Regent to use in his outings from his Carl- ton House to his new Regent Park. It was rebuilt between the wars fronted with Portland Stone, and lends to that centre of London rejoicing, Piccadilly Circus, with as its centre, Eros on his fountain. Passes Theatres The route then wends south through Haymarket where are London's most ancient and prim- mest shopfront (a snuffmaker's) and its prestige theatre, the Hay- market, as well as Beerbohm Tree's Her Majesty's, Then past Norway House and the massive Canada House to Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch —and the crowned Queen drives along the Mall again past Queen Victoria on her marble throne, and so home to the Palace with the acclamations of the nation ringing and sounding around her, 0 Lives Of Queens Basis For Pageant In English Village A pageant based on episodes in the lives of the eight Queens who have ruled England will be pre- sented in a garden at the village of Headley, in Hampshire, during the Coronation month of June.

Sooner or later, most Canadian fath- ers are asked this question by their young son, Before he invites n nega- tive or positive answer, n father shou'd first ask himself; "Is my son ready to have a gun?" When is he ready? According to K. N. Morris, executive direct' -or of the Canadian CIvilian Ars.ciation of Marksmen, a boy can start shooting when he has shown a sense of respon- sibility in other fields -from about the age of 12 to 14 years. Mr. Morris says that if you can trust your boy to carry the neighbor's baby across the street or take a $20 bill to the grocery store, or carry an impor- tant and confidential message, then he usually has a sense of responsibility and is ready for his first gun, If you are unfamiliar with firearms, consult an expert or a member of a shooting club before choosing a gun. The first should be a .22 rifle because basic principles of shooting are easier i taught with it. Besides, it has no re- coil and ammunition is inexpensive, Arrange for the boy Jo attend In- struction .classes sponsored by your �'ncarest rifle club or association. If !none is available in your neighborhood, ask a friend who knows guns and shooting and whose judgment you re- spect. 1 Completion .of a course of instruction does not mean thiat n boy is qualified , to go target shooting or hunting alone. He . needs adult supervision for a year Ior two so that he knows all rules of safety and proper gun handling on the range, in woods and fields, Proper intruction in shoot'ng gives. ! a boy an experience that will be bene-' finial throughout his life. • I OBITUARY MRS.

Both are enjoy- ing reasonably good health and are fairly active for their age., Although res'dcnts of Clinton for 42 years, Mr, and Mrs. Mulch have kept contact with friends in the Auburn dis- tract where they were married on May 181h, 1898, at the Presbyterian Manse, by the late Rev, Robert Hen- derson, After the ceremony the cou• ple drove in an open buggy to Code- irich. Mr. Mulch worked a 100 -acre farm with his father for seven years in East Wawanosh, later moving to Au- burn where he worked on the Cana- dian Pacific Railway section, After moving to Clinton. Mr. Match was employed for 30 years as a dyer with the Clinton Hosiery Factory, Iia retired some 12 years ago.

J. SCOTT', B.A., B.O. The Psalmist in the eigh'h psalm was meditating on the great- ness of God, and in those sobering moments of meditation he was over- whelmed with a profound sense of awe, Then his thoughts turned to mankind and he \vas filled with a sense of humility as he thought of the vast difference existing between the Creator and the creature, He continued to think on this theme and even the greatness of the Creator did not blind hien to the fact that man ton was great. Year• him again in the words of the song: "Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honor." To make a go of life today, we must have respect for oursel- ves. IIe who cannot maintain a good opinion of himself finds lite unbearable, This is where we find value in religion, for our religious life helps us to have a deeper appreciation of life and it also helps us to have a greater confidence to meet the obligation of the passing mo- ments, As we continue to read Holy Scripture, are we not filled with the conviction that God believes in us with an unfaltering love? Ile believes in us not necessarily for what we are, but for what we may become with His help and encouragement. Do you see how religion helps us to have an enlarged sense of our worth? God who mode man in his own image does not appreciate a product of his handwork, endowed with spiritual capacities as man is, who grovels and cringes. He wants men and woven who are awake to the possibilities of the hour and who believe in their own dignity, and what is even better, their own divinity. (Read Psalm 8).

MAY REPLACE 'PHONE SETUP The annual meeting of the Brusesls, Morris and Grey Telephone System was hcicl last Wednesday when D. M. McTavish was meeting chairman and he along with George Michie and Alex Pearson, were returned as Commission- ors. W. S. Scott is the secretary - treasurer and linesmen are William C. • Little and Lloyd' C. Workman, The treasurer's report showed a sur- plus of $7,000 for the year, $5,000 of which goes into a depreciation fund. Installation of new equipment, a common battery system to replace tine present outdated magneto system, was ;the cenire of a good deal of earnest consideration. This would entail the I replacement of the switchboard with a new one which would have a light signal instead of the drop s'gnal now in use, A majority of the telephones now in use would have to be replaced although a number which have been placed during the last few years could be used. In the rural areas fines would have to be cut down to eight subscribers on each line. It would be' run by hydro with a battery system in- stallation in case. of hydro failure, The present set-up was started about forty years ago and a new switchboard was Installed In 1932 but the- whole system Is worn out and outdated and cannot give good service. After. much discussion the meeting authorized each of the three commis- sioners to choose one o'her man, to form a committee of six that would plan a public meting of telephone subscribers in September. In the meantime they will contact experts and get estimates on a complete change - Iover to the new system and present this information at the meeting, —v — LOCAL MASONS VISIT HANOVER LODGE On Monday night the officers, and. some of the members of.
