1] PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1948 Answers to Current Questions About Princess Elizabeth's Baby Here are answers td some of the questions asked most frequently about the forthcoming birth of Princess Elizabeth's baby. 1. Where will Princess Eliza- beth's baby be born? In Buckingham Palace, where Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh occupy .an apartment suite in the west wing. A nursery is already prepared at the Palace. The Royal couple's permanent Lon- don home, Clarence House, will not be ready for occupancy until after the New Year. 2. Who is attending Elizabeth? The Princess is being attended by one of Britain's most distinguished gynaecologists, Sir William Gil- liatt, who is President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynae- cologists. He attended the Duchess cf Kent when her children were born. 3. When and where will the Royal baby be christened? By precedent, children of the Princess Toyal family are usually christen- [tod ed about one month after birth. No customary place of christening has t2en observed in the recent past. Thus Queen Victoria was chris- taned at Kensington Palace, King Ceorge V at Windsor Castle, Ed- ard VIII (now Duke of Windsor) ¢ 5 White Lodge, Richmond, and the resent King at York Cottage, »andringham Parish Church. Be- fre that, Royal christenings took place in the Chapel Royal at St. -ames' Palace, London. Princess Ilizabeth herself was christened at the age of five weeks in the Chapel ..oyal, Buckingham Palace. According to an old custom the christening water will be brought 'rom the river Jordan. This tra- dition has been adhered to in the Joyal Family since the days of the Crusaders, who first brought this water to Britain from Palestine. 4. How will Princess Elizabeth's baby rank in the line of succes- sion to the throne? Succession to the British throne 5 hereditary. Sons and their des- condants have precedence over <aughters of the Sovereign. Daugh- tars and their descendants have precedence over lateral lines. Any «hild of Princess Elizabeth, wheth- ar boy or girl, takes precedence over aer younger sister, Princess Mar- ~aret. So, since Princess Elizabeth s first in the line of succession to | the throne, her first child will be | second in succession to the throne. Jowever, if the first child is a | daughter and a boy is born later, | the son would take precedence over the daughter and become next in the line of succession after Princess Elizabeth. > 5. What will be the title of the Princess' baby? At birth, the child will be neith- er Prince nor Princess nor Royal dighness. The right to these styles is governed by the rules laid down by King George V in July, 1917, when the name of Windsor was adopted as the family surname. These rules limit the descent of both styles to sons and daughters of the Sovereign and to grandchil- dren in the male line only. The Duke of Edinburgh is not a Prince of the Blood and therefore ordinary usage would accord 'his son the courtesy style of Earl of Merioneth, his father's second title. If the baby is a daughter, she would bear only the courtesy title of "Lady" prefixed to her christian name. However, since the child will be second in succession to the throne, it can be expected that the King will accord Princess Elizabeth's baby the rank of prince or princess. Legally the baby ranks as a com- moner until the Royal style is conferred on it by the King, since the Royal styles conferred on the Duke of Edinburgh do not affect the status of his children. If the baby is a boy, he will not in any case-be called the Prince of Wales. This is a title reserved for the eldest son of the reigning sov- ereign. Even then the title is not hereditary. It is conferred only by the Sovereign's personal grant. 6. Will there be any special financial provision for the up- bringing of the Royal child? This will not be considered by Parliament till the child reaches the age of 18. At present the household of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh is largely maintained by the King out of his personal savings. Under the An- nuities Act of 1948, the Princess re- ceives an annual income of £25,000 in addition to a yearly £15,000 laid down by the Civil List Act of 1937. The Annuities Act provides £10,000 per annum for the Duke of Edin- burgh. The Royal couple's income is paid from a fund made available by King George from savings on his own income effected during the war years, During 1940-41, for ex- ample, the King drew less than one- tenth of the amount he is granted. Annual sums paid to the King are given in exchange for property in- herited by the Royal Family, and the public gets far more back in revenues from the Royal lands, than it pays out to Royalty. Last year the public in Britain made a "profit" of nearly four million dol- lars on the exchange. 7. Will the baby have a special staff? No specific appointments are made on the birth of a child in the Royal Family. Princess Elizabeth's baby will have no personal atten- dants beyond a nurse. Since the upbringing of Royal children has changed greatly in modern times, it is likely that the Princess' baby will receive much the same family care as other babies in Britain ay. 8. Will the Royal baby be brought up very differently from other children in Britain? Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret themselves had the sim- plest kind of upbringing, and the Royal parents have already made it known that they wish this child to be similarly rearsd. Every. effort will be made to pre- vent all intrusion on the family life of the Royal couple and their baby and to provide seclusion and shel- ter from over-early exposure to publicity. 9. Wili this Royal birth break any precedents in British his- tory? The birth of a ehild to the King's daughter, she being heiress-pre- sumptive to the throne, is an' al- most unique event in British his- tory. ~The only parallel datés back to March 25th, 1133, the date of the birth of the future King Henry II, son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, and his wife Maud, only surviving child of Henry IL Even that is scarcely a precedent, for the rules of strict hereditary succession were not yet established, and .it was still in dispute whether a woman could either inherit or transmit to her children a title to the Crown. . It is worth noting, too, that Prin- cess Elizabeth's baby will be the first grandchild of the King and Queen, and the first great-grand- child of the Queen Mother. It is also the first Royal birth to take place since the passing of the Bri- tish Nationality Act, 1948, which causes the child to be born a "citi- zen of the United Kingdom and Colonies", and to become a British subject only in virtue of that citi- zenship. 10. Will the Royal birth be pro- claimed in any special way? The bell of London will ring out to herald the birth. Bellringers in the belfries of St. Paul's Cathe- dral, Westminster Abbey, St. Mar- tin In The Fields and a dozen oth- er famous churches, will be the "College Youths'--members of a 311:year-old society formed in the days of King Charles I. It will be the first time the bells peal for a Royal birth since June 23rd, 1894, when the present Duke of Windsor was born. At the Tower of London, a 41- gun salute will be fired by 30 mem- bers of the Honorary Artillery Com- pany. A special postage stamp is also being issued to commemorate the event.

MacLeod The November meeting of St. Andrew's Women's Missionary So- ciety was held in the chapel on November 11. Mrs. M. F. Kirkland conducted the meeting in the ab- sence of Mrs, George Telford, who is ill A very interesting summary of the first section of "West of the Gorges", a book by Kenneth J, Bea- ton, was given by Mrs. D. I. Mac- Leod "The biggest and most hopeful thing that has happened in China in the last fifty years has been the emancipation of women," said Mrs. MacLeod. When the pioneer missionaries first arrived in Szechfan province, infanticide was quite common. Af- ter marriage a girl left the home of her parents and was absorbed in- to the family of her husband, where she became a servant to her mother-in-law. A boy, on the other hand, remaineq with and worked for his own parents, the bulkwar! and mainstay of their old age. The people of Old China, therefore, often allowed girl-children to die, cherishing only the boys who would provide for them in later years. "In the New China," she said, "woman' is regarded as a person in the eyes of the law. She has a great many privileges denied her under the old regime; she is free in regard to the owning of property, the choice of her profession, the way she votes, and in the choice of her religion. One of the really remarkable wo- men of the New China is Miss Pen Su sien. Miss Pen is the Christian daughter of a Confucian father. Since her graduation from Union Normal School in Chengtu, she has held such important positions as head of the Women's Missionary Society Boarding SchoolMin Jen- show, and YWCA secretary in Chungking. She is now an ordain- ed minister, and is Director of Re- -|ligious Education in the High School for Girls at Chengtu. "The Chinese women and girls who have entered into a freedom of thought, action and life in this ge- neration, are the real hopes in China." The minutes of the mont October meeting were read by ht Lloyd Pegg; the treasurer's report was given by Mrs. John Russell Mrs. R. M. Kelly reported on sub. scriptions to the Missionary Month- ly, and Mrs. M. F. Kirkland told of the packing of a Christmas box for the missionary in Japan, The devotiona] period was led by Mrs. D. I.

The Princess has let it be known she would like other babies arriving the sawe day as hers to share many hundreds of layettes given to her by loyal subjects and admirers the world over. The birth of Elizabeth's baby is expected some time this week-end. In London alone it is estimated that at least 350 to 400 babies will be born this week-end. Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, may share their baby pres- ents with perhaps 100 or more of that number. A similar course with wedding presents was followed by the Prin- cess when she was married last Nov- ember. Overwhelmed with gifts from all over the world, she gave away some two dozen frocks and suits to other November brides of her own age. Months: ago, even before Bucking- ham Palace confirmed reports that a royal infant was expected, women of Britain and the Commonwealth lands started making nursery clothes and organizing Elizabeth needlework clubs. The idea caught on, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, which the royal family expect to visit next year. Sydney has sent 900 baby gar- ments, hand-made and embroidered. Melbourne, Brisbane and other ci- ties are contributing also, From donors close to home have come lamb's wool and kid leather baby shoes, fancy shawls and crib covers, embroidered silk and knit- ting wool. An American firm is rumored to have offered daily diaper service by air, each diaper to bear the royal crest. Much as Elizabeth might ap- preciate the offer, it no doubt will be turned down, Whether Boy or Girl, Royal Baby Is Entitled to Income of Its Own By JOAN CAPREOL London, Nov. 12--(Reuters) -- Princess Elizabeth's baby, which is expected this week-end, will get an income of at least £6,000 $24,- 000) a year until it is 21, Princess Elizabeth received this sum at the age of 11, when she be- came heir presumptive to the Brit- ish throne in 1937 on her father's accession. Her baby, whether boy or girl, will be second in line to the crown and, as such, entitled to an income of its own. hen Princess Elizabeth atiaik ed the age of 21 her annuity was in- creased to £15,000. Earlier this year the House of Commons voted that on her mar- riage to the Duke of Edinburgh last November, her income ke raised to £40,000 with an allowance of £10,000 for the Duke. , If Princess Elizabeth were to die before her husband and during the lifetime of King George, the Duke's {annuity would be increased to £25,000 for any period during which one of their children is heir pre- sumptive. Princess Elizabeth pays income tax and pays for all her entertain- ing. She must pay the salaries of her household, including a private secretary, press secretary, ladies in waiting, and now a "nanny" for her baby. King George has an income of £410,000 a year. He meets all Queen Elizabeth's bills and expenses, but Queen Mary, his mother, has her own allowance of £70,000 to run her London residence, Marlborough House. - Princess Margaret gets £6,000 un- til shh is 21 when her annuity will be increased to £15,000. If and when she marries, it will probably be further increased, but she will still have less than her older sister. Ann Marie Hambly Guest of Honor Miss Ann Marie Hambly, whose marriage took place in St. Gregory's Roman Catholic Church, this morn ing, has been guest of honor at a number of pre-nuptial parties. Mrs. William Hambly, Elgin Street East, entertained at a trousseau tea for her daughter on Monday, Nov- ember 8 from 3 to 5 in the after- noon and from 7 to 9 in the even- in~. Multi-colorcd chrysanthenm ms were arranged about the rooms. Greeting the guests at the door and in charge of the guest register was Miss Diane Hambly, a cousin of the bride-to-be. Mrs. Hambly received the guests wearing a street length dress of mignonette blue crepe, fashioned santhemums composed her corsage. The future bride wore a frock of autumn brown faille crepe designed with fitted basque with high round neckline and cap sleeves with full skirt. Her corsage was composed of white chrysanthemums. Those pouring tea were Mrs. Leo Powers, Mrs. Gordon Pirie and Mrs, John Coleman, all aunts of the bride elect, and serving were Mrs. John Snyder, Miss Margaret Wales, Miss Aileen McKenna, Miss Cath- erine Hambly, and Miss Mary Ham- bly. Presiding in the rooms where the trousseau, shower, wedding gifts and the bride's linens were displayed, were Miss Helen Hambly, Mrs, Wil- liam Clark, Miss Betty Powers, Miss Barbara Heffer and Miss Frances DePratto. . Mrs. William Clark, Elgin Street East, was hostess at a kitchen show- er. The guests were the neighbors, former neighbors and other friends. Wedding bells and autumn flowers contributed to the bridal atmos- phere. The hostess compiled an amusing bride's scrap book which was presented to the future bride. Miss Barbara Garrard, and the fu- ture bride's three sisters, Miss Cath- arine Hambly, Miss Mary Hambly and Miss Helen Hambly assisted the hostess in serving lunch.

Contests were enjoyed with favors awarded to the winners. Re- freshments were served by the host- ess assisted by her mother, Mrs. J. P. McKenna, and Mrs. Leo Mc-Ken- na and Miss Rhoda McKenna. Leaside Girls Choir Warmly Applauded An enthusiastic audience filled to capacity Northminster United Church last evening when the Lea- side Girls Choir presented 'An Autumn Musicale". This is the first appearance in Oshawa of this very fine choir which consists of 36 girls whose ages range from 14 to 21 years and is under the capable direction of Mrs. Ray Jackson of Toronto, a former music teacher and choir leader, and the accompanist was Miss Joan Sutton. It is not difficult to imagine that this choir has had many high awards in festivals in Toronto and elsewhere for it presents a concert of the highest calibre which is particularly noticeable in its enun- ciations and timing. For the first part of the program the girls looked very pleasing in their church gowns of periwinckle blue and the songs were of a relig- ious nature, consisting of three groups, the first of which was: "Jesus, Joy of Man's Desires", Bach; "Lift Thine Eyes", Mendelssohn; and 'Green Pastures", Sanderson. The second group was beautifully rendered and consisted of "The Lord's Prayer", Malotte; "Panis Angelicus", Franck; and "Carol of the Bells", Wilhousky; and for the third group they gave three Negro Spirituals: "Steal Away"; "Were You There?"; "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel", Assisting in this portion of the program were Miss Muriel Reynolds who sang "Beside Still Waters" and Miss Joan Sutton, who played a piano solo entitled "Claire du Lune". Both are members of the choir. The second part of the program was of a lighter nature and for this the girls were dressed in evening gowns of various pastel shades. It opened with four well rendered selections: "The Olden = Songs, Viennese Melody; Bendemeer's Stream, Old Irish Tune; The High Road", Gaellic song; and "Whistl- ing Girl", Kentucky Mountain Tune. For this last number they received a well deserved. encore. The next portion was given over to individual members of the choir as follows: A song entitled "Ro- mance" by Miss Luella Baker; "The Telegram", a Monalogue by Miss Blanche Gossling. A song, "Blue Bird of Happiness", by Miss Betty Roberts and a Pianofirte Duet "Pol- anaise in A Major, Chopin, by the Misses Joan Sutton and June Top- ple. The program concluded with three selections from Oklahoma: "O What a Beautiful Morning; "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top"; and "Ok- lahoma". This evening was under the spon- sorship of Northminster United Church choir. Londoners Surprised, Elizabeth Steps Out London, Nov. 13 -- (CP) -- The whole town is talking today about Princess Elizabeth's night out. To everyone's surprise, Elizabeth, whose first-born is expected this week-end, went with her husband, Prince Philip, in his car to dine with friends in fashionable Bel- gravia. For some three hours the royal couple was entertained at the resi- dence of Lord and Lady Brad- bourne, about a mile from Buck- ingham Palace. Lady Bradbourne, the former Lady Patricia Mountbatten, elder daughter of Earl and Countess Mountbatten, is a close friend of Elizabeth, who was a bridesmaid at their. wedding. The royal couple made the trip without a police escort, but a Scot- land Yard detective kept a close watch outside Bradbourne House. The Princess wore a black eve- ning dress and a fox cape and was hatless. A crowd soon gathered in front of the house. When the couple left shortly before midnight, a cheer went up. Elizabeth smiled gaily and her husband waved to the by- standers. In expectation of the royal birth, the King and Queen, who usually spend their week-ends at Windsor Lodge, plan to remain at the pal- ace. Princess Margaret, who in- spected a group of Girl Guides in [Ty Nottinghamshire Friday night, was expected to be away over the week- end. Princess Elizabeth had mot made a public appearance in weeks until Friday. Then she stood for a time at her third-floor window in Buck- ingham Palace to watch the color- ful ceremony of the changing of the guard. Princess Elizabeth's doctor, Sir William Gilliot, visited her Friday and said the 22-year-old Princess is in excellent health. Sir William is standing by in London this week- end, waiting for a call to Bucking- ham Palace.

The meeting was called by the Red Cross Homemaker and Nutri- tion Committee to consider and plan a proposed Nutrition Week to be held early in the new year. Fourteen of the Home and School and Parent Teacher health or pro- gramme conveners were present in- cluding Mrs.-J. H. Valleau, Presi- dent, and Mrs. R. Hodgson, health convener of the Central Council, Miss Mary Quinn, chairman of the Red Cross Homemaker and Nutrition Committee, welcomed the group and explained the purpose of the meeting and then called on Mrs. Duncan McIntyre, nutritionist for the Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross, to outline the plans for the proposed Nutrition Week and the ways in which the Home and School and Parent Teacher groups could co-operate. Mrs. McIntyre also told of the nutrition and cooking classes she is at present conducting on Mon- day evenings at the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital School of Nursing and will be continuing in the new year. This is a six weeks course of one evening each week. Mrs. A. W. Smith next spoke and outlined the proposed Red Cross Home Nursing Classes she hoped to organize in the new year and asked the co-operation of the groups present in introducing it to their organization. She explained the scope of the course of probably six weekly classes, time and place to be an- nounced later; Mrs. Smith then stressed the meed in the home to- ey. for such simple knowledge and Miss Elizabeth Hicks, Victorian Order Supervising Nurse, told of the proposed pre-natal classes to be jointly sponsored by the Victor- ian Order of Nurses and the Local Board of Health. These classes would provide in struction in the needs of the ex= pectant mother, that is bathing the baby, preparation of layette, nutri- tion, and other phases of prenatal care to supplement the expectant mother's regular visits to her phy- sician. Miss Hicks told of the great value of these classes which are planned to run for eight weeks, one class weekly with another course start- ing immediately one is f{iished, ex- cept in summer, The outcome of the discussion was that a joint meeting with the Home and School Council is plan- ned for the new year when these programmes will be introduced and a co-ordinated effort for a nutri- tion week was favoured. All the conveners present agreed to do all they could to forward these plans and to take this and any other ina"'mation supplied to them by the nutritionist to their group meetings. Tea was served by Mrs. C. S. Lee and Mrs. Harold Luke. Mrs. T. Kelso Creighton, convener of the Welfare Committee for the Red Cross Society, Oshawa Branch, was also present. Worker Among Lepers Addresses Knox WMS The plight of the Leper was prougl.t home to the members of the Arvilla McGregor Missionary Auxiliary of Knox Presbyterian Church at its fall thank offering meeting on Thursday evening, by the Rev. H. N. Konkle, of the Mis- to lepers. sn opening his address Mr. Sue gle voiced his pleasure at being rh ed to speak in Oshawa and spoke of his many trips across Canada and his many friendships made on those trips. He retired - recently 25 years. iter said that the Mission to Lepers was organized in 1874. and had grown and developed in twen- ty-five countries and was an in- ternational and interdenomination- al organization carrying on its work in co-operation with 37 British, American, and European Protestant Missionary Societies and was work=- ing in 25 countries of the world at 110 stations. Mr. Konkle went on to-relate how the work in Africa has been emphasized in recent years and how unsettled the conditions were at present times both in India and China. "The prevalent feeling", Mr. Konkle stated is that we all think of lepers as being far away and not any concern of ours." He stat- ed that Canada still has a few cases. ; He emphasised the great number in India, that country having one million lepers, most of them being homeless and beyond aid. He re- minded all that Jesus said, "Cleanse the lepers" an obligation which should concern each and every one of us today. "To see the greatful look on the faces of those poor people encourages our Missionaries greatly," he said, "and many are healed in the early stages of that dread disease." "There is no word like the word of God to the lepers," went on Mr. Konkle, "and many of the children memorize long passages from the Bible and can recite for as long as two hours at a time on the word of God. How many in this country can do that?" the speaker asked. "It is the one thing that makes them happy and many long for the day when they can go home to the Lord and be His children." The speaker concluded his inter- esting address by reminding all present of the urgent need for the extension of this Christlike minis- Miss Madeline Sinclair, president, presided, and the Rev. H. F.
