but the fact is that the solar cooker turns out a meal as fast as a 300watt electric stove it s just one more indication that food and aluminum go to gether in containers utensils foil and in the

place near london and of course we wan ted to be in the centre of things if at all possible then we went to our downtown office and they pho ned for about two hours and finally succeeded in getting us seats to see the procession and what seats they were too by the time we had picked them up it was 7 p m so we werent able to get any shopping at all done had dinner at a fashion able place the trocadero and then from about 10 pm to 130 a m we walked around and saw crowds decorations lights etc by that time of course people were walking on the roads because the sidewalks were completely filled with people bedded down for the night some of them had camped as early as sun day night and by the time of the coronation they were collapsing like flies from exposure you have no idea of the thousands of people camped on the streets if you dldn t sec it in fact by midnight trafal gar square which is a tremendous area was so filled the police were surrounding it and not letting any more people into it we finally took a subway out of the crowded area of the city and then got a cab home get home at 2 am and the hotel said they were calling all guests at 4 a m because they block the various sections of the city off and you have to be in your place before 6 or you can t get in any way we compromised at 5 a m be cause our region dldn t close until 7 we arrived at the place we had our seats at 6 a m they were posh seals i can tell you they were at windows in a building burberrys coat establishment and so we were in out of the elements they served us a tremendous breakfast on our arrival and then we watched television from about 9 am on they showed the crowds the peo pie arriving atthe abbey the pro cession from the palace and then the abbey service then we had a fabulous lunrh with hors d oeu vres soup little sandwiches and salads and the main course of ham dnd chicken plus trifle then we got into our window scats for the procession an we wore up over the heads of the crowds and only the sidewalk separating us from the procession which went down our side of the street first there were dll tht troops ind literally thous jndb of them all covered with me d is the cmklnn troops were nil tluit aid the canadian mountics 4644390 a year on furniture l it estimated that 4644390 will be pent an furniture this year by the hotels of ontario a flood portion of this large sum will be paid out in wages to lumberjacks lumbermill employees skilled craftsmen and many others associated with the furniture industry spending amount on furniture alone contributes to the prosperity of our province for hotel visitors it means a pleasant restful atmosphere even greater comfort end finer accommodation s the hotel is a community asset who got a big hand aftef all the commonwealth troops and those from places like africa and india were really interesting came royal ty and high officers from other countries each in a separate coach and then the prime ministers of thy dominions and churchill each in a separate coach and then royalty kents gloucesters queen mother and margaret and finally the royal coach and we had a marvellous look at them all we had seats that sold for 150 but at the last minute they had onmffh left and connie and i shared onis j there was oodles of room and we paid 45 each and it was sure worth it after dinner connie abramson who was with me left for the air port and returned on the delayed coronation night flight because she was afraid of being stuck over there however i stayed on alone and went up to the palace at 9 45 the queen pressed the switch which lit the lights on the mall which was really spectacular i was there about half an hour ahead of time but the crowd was so bad i could just get into the square and that was all and even though elizabeth and philip came out on the balcony which was raised i couldn t even see them because of the mass of humanity in front of me all this while it was raining but you couldn t get wet except the top of your head because we were jammed so tijht so they didnt stay out lonj a few people dispersed but most of us stayed on and finally i worked my way right up lo pressing my nose against the fence surrounding the palace an other half hour went by and all the while they were playing music over loud speakers trying to disperse the j crowd finally the announcer said the people might as well go down to the fireworks or go home be cause the queen would not be mak inf another aopcarance that night howtvcr nobody left and for about an hour evcrvone cheered and screamed we want the queen so finally they did come out and it had stopped raminj so they stay ed out about 10 sninules and i had a terrific view of them as 1 was in the front row then they went back in and we saw them momen tanly at the windows looking at the fireworks we also saw che two little gloucester boys who were hanging out of the window for a couple of minutes looking at the fireworks and waving at the crowds and philip s mother m her nun s robes and a few otherpeoplc whom the crowd could not identify but their flash of jewels as they drew back the curtains lo look out was absolutely blinding then the whole crowd walked down the mall which hnd been lit and looked like a fauyland to trafiliar square from whieh 1 look a subway out of the jamed area and then cab home about 1 a m we had a very lc ng flight back aln ost 24 hours but of ourse we wiil it least warm veiy well fed etc tc ind it made me think of tht xxr people who sal on the streets in the rain for 48 hours it was just luck that
