After the long, long wait during which time utmost order was kept, the Royal Salute fired the first gun. Shouts and cheers were heard in the distance. More firing from the salute gun. Fifty Guides near the gate were tense with excitement. And then driving slowly (but much too fast for everybody) the glass special car was seen, with a tall bronzed man inside sitting beside a lady in blue. They came to the gate of the park. The lady looked at the blue--clad line she turned to the Man beside her, "Oh, the Guides!" she said, and gave them the recogniticn that they were longing for. With mouths wide open, all set to cheer, with the Bands and Scouts, bands and kilties, bands and children--and children and children--the procession seemed inter-- minable. The Guides were wilting. It was a long hard tiring journey they had come, and no lunch. Captain Wil-- kins (who had flown in by plane) and Captain Bessette bombarded the police. 'They stated the case. Ready help was forthcoming. Milk and sandwiches and ice cream were sent for, and the CGuides revived. Then alas! for preparations . the King's train was two hours late. : Ow-- ing to the number of children, and never have we seen so many, the pro-- cession was started early so that they might all be placed in time.

Right inside the gates where the Royal eyes could not possibly miss them! South Porcupine, June 7.--(Special to The Advance----There are fAifty South Porcupine and Dome girls toduy that are the happiest young people in town. They went to Sudbury to see the King. One at least saw the King because she definitely said that she was going to look at him, as everybody else would be looking at the Queen. And the other forty--nine saw the Queen. The Queen--did we say; w»e meant our Queen; for isn't she a Guide? . And to begin af'the beginning -- At 3 am. on Monday fifty eager young people got on the train at South Porecupine with equipment and lunches to start the Grand Adventure. Both Guide Companies (Dome-- and South Porcupine) carried the colours wrap-- ped to display on the mareh in Sud-- bury. -- Although it was so early in the morning not one of them wanted to curl up and go to sleep. They chatted, they sang, they ate, they sang again, and this kept up all the way down. Some of them had never been on a train. Some had never travelled so far. We fury expected them to be tired> out when they reached Sudbury. But excite-- ment kept them going, 'They marched from the station to the Paiish hall, (where they had no time for lunch) and had to prepare immediately with all the othéer Guides from all over North-- ern Ontario for the route march. We were proud of them. They looked smart even aftéer the long train ride, and in the procession were cheered as the "Dome" flag was noted. 'Guides! CGuides! Guides!

The train was late, and the annount-- er through a megaphone was doing his best to straighten out the crowds and their respective trains and calling for lost children. Fifty of the most tired looking girls were hauled off one train and on to another--because the re-- served coach for Guides had been tak-- Hats were lost, bags and belts were gone, but who cared? And miraculously at Swastika every-- thing turned up again, and no Guide was minus anything. Tired?--we never were more tired in our lives. There is a lot of sleep to en by the people on that train (it was easier to call all the Guides out than to call out the others)--and incident-- ally they had to change again at North Bay and again at Swastika. catch up on But they all were happy, they all had a marvellous time, and they all saw the King and Queen. In our dreams on Tuesday night we saw children, and children and more children, bands, Guides, Scouts, police-- men and children, and more children, and once more heard the voice of the train announcer of Sudbury saying, as he had said when we were leaving-- "There is a little boy from Blind River, who is lost. His name is------! Thanks are due to Captain Wilkins and Captain Bessette, of South Porcu-- pine and to Captain Leiterman of the Dome for their unfailing care, and un-- selfishness in taking the Guides down. 'Thank goodness no accident of any kind marred the South Porcupine and Dome Guides' most perfect day. We know the Guides appreciate 1t, but we wonder whether the mothers fully understand just what it meant to take fifty girls four hundred miles and bring them all safely back! Guides from South Porcupine were: Colour Party--Myra Cantor, F. Sharpe, Betty Cummings; Company Leader Elaine Dogue (went by car), N. Chris-- tie, J. Maxwell--Smith, V. Bessette, M. Stefuyck, F.

Somerville, K. Pyke, I. Ris-- tamaki, V. Ferrigan, N. Ferrigan, M. McGuey, M. Connelly, N. Haneberry. The concensus of opinion regarding the <Queen was that she took their breath away. "I shall never forget her," said one. "She was right out of a fairy tale," said another. "She was wonderful" said another, "but the King was nice too." Fortunately the smaller ones got right on to the road and were allowed to stay in front of the seat--holders. They saw the royal pair again. (And this time cheered lustily). We were standing on the steps of a bank and saw one of the pathetic sights of the day. A small girl was waiting to see the King and Queen (she had not seen them previously) with her mother. Just as the car was coming those on the seats in front stood up and completely blocked the view even though thiZ child was lifted up. A more broken-- hearted youngster it would be difficult to find. They had gone for ever, and she could not see them. "Never mind," comforted a Guide, "you join the Guides and when the King and Queen come again, you will be right in the front row!" Dome Guides--Colour Party, D. Mc-- Ginn, Margaret Burton, E. Leiterman, Company Lieutenant, Marjorie Costain; Guides E. McDonnell, Ada Curtis, Lynn Beard, Kathleen Connelly, Beulan Lang, Florence Connelly, Irene Libby, Thora Webb, Evelyn Jay, Margaret Foster. Betty Curboy. . But our Guides at least, had another slice of luck. After going back, to heagdquarters .( and -- re--fuelling) the leaders found that the King and Queen would be coming back along the line of route from the Frood Mine. So or-- ders. were given to try to find places to see them. The ear went on. Too quickly it reached the dais, too quickly for thou-- sands of pairs of yvoung eyes, the for-- malities were over and the car was leaving. "Would they go round the park again? Alas! they didn't. One more fleeting glance at the Em-- bodiment of that loyalty, that pride of Empire, that patriotism that the Guide movement instils into its members as part of its teaching, and They had gone. But, they had left behind something which nothing will ever take away. To every child that was there comes the prideful feeling:--"I saw the King, I saw the Queen"--a memory that will last forever. "I didn't think it could be real one. "It was just like the fairy we read of a beautiful princess.' Great Moment here, they stood ing. V. RBessette, M_l Mrs. McCartney and little son, of im, O.

Mr. P. Boyce was chairman for the evening. The programme started with the singing of "O Canada." Then the soldiers' song, "There's a Long, Long Trail Awinding", was given. Next pn the programme was a tap dance by little Nancy McNeil. Miss Burgeon gave a lullaby, and also sang very sweetly "The Rose of Tralee." _ Mr. Thomas tap danced, Mr. Cousineau playing the accompaniment on the violin. The public school teachers had just returned from a hiking party, so Mr. Boyce thought it would be a nice finish,to their day's enjoyment if they would come up to the platform and give the audience a song. So they all went up, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Wylie, and sang "There is a tavern in the Town," which was much enjoyed. The evening was brought to a close with sing of "God Save the King."
