THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1950 THE DAILY. TIMES-GAZETTE % PAGE TWENTV.SEVEN . Her Majesty Not Good With ® Clocks, King Kept Waiting | London, England --- Modern mon- | archy has been likened to a busi- ness executives job but few busi- ness men spend as long hours at their desks as the King--nor, as he is, are they concerned with the job seven days every week and all round the clock if needs be. "Doing the boxes" is only one daily chore that accompanies the King everywhere he goes. He even attends to it when he is travelling in the Royal train, his saloon spe- | cially fitted with a desk and tele- phone for the purpose. These confidential dispatch boxes, packed with Government, Services| and political papers of every kind, go to and from the Palace in a regular stream, The King must read, digest and comment on all the con- | tents and he appends his regal sig- nature scores of times everyday. | Then he has an enormous am-| ount of correspondence to deal with and innumberable official visitors | to receive--and they do not all ar-| rive during what might bg called | normal office hours. i Only the people in close daily | contact with him can realize the amount of sheer physical drudg- ery and the constant strain there is in being a King. Possesses Tidy Mind I: is of some help to King George that he possesses a naturally tidy mind and a capacity for neat and logical routine work. His broad flat- topped desk is always orderly (it irritates him intensely if anything! is out of place there) and he is also extremely punctual. This "courtesy of kings" was in- stilled in him in childhood by Queen Mary, and has lorig since become second nature. That others should net have the same meticulous ap- | preciation of the value of time is soraething the King has never been able to understand. Despite her practical tempera- ment, the Queen is "not good with clocks" as she once ruefully con- fessed herself. She was not brought | up. against a royal background and time was often only incidental in the lives of the big happy family whe spent care-free, open-air days at ancient Glamis Castle. Now secre- taries and ladies-.n-waitinz gen- erally contrive diplomatically to keep the Queen's time-table reas- onably to schedule, but sometimes they find it quite impossible, For instance, when it is time to leave a party for the next appoint- ment, the Queen may prove to be cempletely engrossd in conversation, | unaware of the passing minutes. But the Queen can never be inter- rupted. Going to her room to change in what would bs ample time for a function, she perhaps pauses to make a telephone call or write a letter which takes longer than she had anticipated. Or her dressing may become protracted because, al- though her clothes she is to wear are always chose beforehand so that her maid has them ready, the Queen may exercise the privilege of all women and change her mind about accessories or jewels, which adds on still more minutes. When the Queen doed appear and finds other members of the royal party waiting for her, she is al- ways sincerely surprised as to how it could have happened, and charm- ingly apologetic.

As Duke of York, he kept a small lathe in his, study and would get up from his desk to make mechin- ical models and little radio sets. Ncw, as King, he can no longer inoulge in such congenial hobbies, but he still takes a number of technical and scientific periodicals which he studies with great interest in his exceedingly scanty leisure. Reads After Dinner Usually the King does his read- ing when he sits with the Queen after dinner in their private draw- ing-room at the Palace. This is often his only relaxation of the day, though there is usually a brief "fam- ily session" immediately after break- fast when Princess Margaret comes in, and Princess Elizabeth fre- quently telephones and plans and arrangements for the day are dis- cussed. | Very occasionally the King joins | the Queen at tea-time but more habitually a tray is placed beside his desk in his study as he goes But with the late evening the read o. listen to a favorite radio program, which will certainly not be a highbrow one and is probably a variety show or a news talk. The big television set gets at- tention, too. The King likes the he has a few brief minutes to spare between daytime engagements, he will come to the drawing-room and listen or look-in at the sports events. The Wimbledon relays gave him great pleasure, for the King was a particularly fine tennis player! 'himself as a young man and once | entered the famous championships, | though he did not reach the finals. | King Easily Amused | The Queen sits opposite her hus- | band, reading or embroidering, ! and Princess Margaret probably joins them if she is spending an | evening at home. This is the hour | when family matters generally are | discussed. There is a good deal of domestic joking, too, for the King! has an almost schoolboy sense of | he is in the mood. | Gay, vivacious Princess Margaret | brings many smiles into the King's | blue eyes. He has found his younger | deughter's lively wit entertaining | ever since her childhood--she calls | him "Daddy" and is the only per- | sen who ever teases the King. The King is frankly proud of | Princess Elizabeth, grateful for her | natural good sense and dignity and | her acceptance of her duties as! Heiress Presumptive: to the Throne, | but he has always been far more tolerant and indulgent towards Princess Margaret and constantly likeness to her | mother at the same age, when as young Prince Albert he first became aware of the Little Lady Elizabeth | Bowes-Lyon and fell in love with! her. | Bertie And Betty | Today, when they are alone, the' King and Queen still call each | other "Bertie" and "Betty" as they |did in those days when they be- {came engaged.

Iceman Snubs the Dodo: Sales Top Good Old Days The iceman has not gone the way of the dodo. The Christian Sci- ence Monitor states. Home neighborhoods of today may not know the ice delivery truck of former times, with young- sters clambering up the end step for a free piece of cold delicious- ness. But ice from the iceman, de- spite automatic refrigeration, is still much in use, The iceman has changed his method of delivery--sometimes by way of money-in-the-slot vend- ing machines. He has found new uses for his ice--he has 16 univer- sities busy at research discovering them. He is selling more than 44,- 000,000 tons of ice annually, com- pared with 30,000,000 when gas and electric refrigerators came in 25 years ago. But 44,000,000 tons isn't enough, considering increased populations, according to the National Asso- ciation of Ice Industries. At its recent annual convention here, the talk was how to increase it--how to give more service to the 41.- 500,000 families in America, by way of home refrigerators, or by commercially cooling home pro- ducts. Cool Summer Weather, more than automatic refrigerators, is blamed for recent declines in ice purchases. The summer of 1950, it is pointed out, was the coolest, nationwide, in 63 years. Automatic refrigerators, in some respects, have been allies of the ice industries, rather than com- petitors, a spokesman fcr the re- frigerators started advertising, peo- ple, he says, became more "refrig- eration conscious." Those who couldn't afford a mechanical box turned to the iceman. His sales! boomed. Today, many an automatic re- | frigerator owner buys extra ice | from a vending machine, for spe- | cial occasions or .unexpected par INFORMATION WITH A SMILE!
