414 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, May 27, 1953 "Girl Born To Be Queen" Will Be Crowned In 6 Days Just six days from now Queen Elizabeth IT will be crowned and consecrated Queen. To give the story of her person- ality and upbringing, James F. King of the AP's London staff has written a Series Yl oe stories carrying Eliza m cra to throne. This is the first of the series. LONDON (AP) -- Even as a rincess at the toddling age, Eliza- Beth TF caught on to her royal pre- rogatives. One of her Sars Dscoverses on a visit to Buck Palace was that the sentry presented arms every time she passed. This was amusing. So, slippi away from her nurse, she pa back and forth smiling happily as the poor sentry clicked his heels to attention each time, Elizabeth's early consciousness of her position may have been due to her grandfather, King George V. BE et it e cony show a crowd below and whispered, "They're cheering for you, you know." The little girl beamed with de- light and a few days later was caught testing her royal authority by ordering a playmate to bow low mage. 'From these and other stories, Elizabeth has been called '"'the girl | hah, born to be queen." THRONE REMOVED Yet the throne seemed far re- moved for the first child of the popular young Duke and Duchess of York when shé was born early in tlie morning of April 21, 1926 in the home of her maternal grand- father, the Earl of Strathmore in Lond on. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Wind- sor was g royal princess in her own right, but third in line to the e --behind her uncle David and her own father who told friends he himself was "not palace minded." Before she was 10, King George died. Uncle David, the dashing Prince of Wales, became Edward VIII, and abdicated after 324 days. Her father became King George VI, and by a sharp twist in fate she had come into the direct line of succession. George VI died Feb. 6, 1952 at the age of 56 and the princess be- came Queen. It was less than 26 years since her birth--when, ac- cording to ancient custom, since discarded as archaic, the then home secretary, Sir Wiiam Joyn- son-Hicks, was on hand to verify the birth of the royal princess. The report is that the tiny princess showed her independence at once the face the She won the hearts of Britons at once. The birth brought a little brightness into the drab lives of a people torn by the impending gen- strike of 1926 and the miseries of mass unemployment. For the moment all Britons could unite at least dm affection for the Royal Elizabeth came under the official royal inspection of her grand- mother, Queen The matriarch bent over the cot ddaughter and able likeness to the late George VI, the man who never expected fem ln soe at es 2 y cation uty as "the people's king," especially dur- ing the anxious days of the Second World War. The rearing of children in the Mary, immediately. | tim Royal Family, though modified down through the years, had long followed the general Victorian pat- tern that strength of character was developed by severity and even repression. But the shy Duke of York pre- ferred the life of a country gentle- man to the limelight and was de- termined to shield his young daughter from the overpowering shadow of the crown as much as possible. His wife, a Scottish com- moner named Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, dreaded the bleak rigidity of royalty's life, too. So there was nothing austere or primitive about the princess' early upbringing. * SHINING SUN "In the days of my childhood," she remarked. years later, "the sun seemed always to be shining." She invented a nickname for her- self as soon as she could talk. Elizabeth was too much of a ton- gue-twister. The best she could do was '"'Lilibet"--and "Lilibet" she remains even today in the Royal Family circle. Elizabeth was only four when sister Margaret was born. She showed no jealous resentment against the newcomer to the nur- sery. Instead _Lilibet showed a maternal instinct and wanted to take complete charge of the new y. Over the years an unusually close bond of companionship, even for sisters, has grown. Elizabeth al- ways has been the more serious and determined, Margaret the gayer and more mischievous. They had the usual Sisterly scraps. Lilibet, when provoked, flashed a fiery temper, Their early years were as nearly normal as was possible for two daughters of a royal duke. Tyey got as dirty making mud pies in the garden as any youngsters. They spent hours dressing dolls and playing house, and ran wildly about at hop-scotch and ' hide- seek games. They had many pets. Elizabeth loved animals, especially . horses. She learned to ride at the age of three and was given her own shet- land pony on her fourth birthday. HORSE POLISHING A daily chore was sprucing up, with furniture polish, a dozen wooden horses stabled in the nur- sery. King George V in his declining years looked forward eagerly 'to the Buckingham Palace visits of his lively granddaughter, who liked to tease him. She shouted with laughter when he pretended to be angry as she ruffled his hair or stole food from his plate for her Welsh corgi dogs. She would sit wide-eyed on his knee while the King spun yarns about the far-away places he had visited and the strange customs he had seen. This was the intro- ductory course in her education. Like any healthy youngsters, the sisters enjoyed a good pillow fight. The trouble was that their regal other caught them rough- housing. So Queen Mary decided it was e to take Lilibet under her wing. Though at the time the mantle of the monarchy seeme far removed from the little girl, the dignified old lady wanted to make sure that her granddaughter lcarneg Sie ster ood of duty embers of roy: are ex- Pesied to Jhatmtain, y was the beginning of an a prenticeship for the Afri Queen. Queen Mary, who held strong views on the bringing up of Jone cesses, was to have a dous uence on Elizabeth through the years. Murder Case Remanded NORTH BAY (CP)--Mervyn Hut- son, 29, Tuesday was remanded to June 3 on a charge of murder in the death of a three-year-old girl left in his care. Police said the girl Susan Hutch- ins, had been criminally assaulted before playmates found her bod: in a thicket Thursday night, about 24 hours after the girl's mother left Susan with Hutson in a to- bacco shop while the mother went shopping. Hutson, picked up at Cochrane last Friday, made' no comment when the murder charge was read. Cool Gunman Wasn't Fooling TORONTO (CP)--A tall gunman Tuesday waved an automatic as he herded a bank staff of seven into a vault before escaping from the suburban Newtonbrook branch of the Dominion Bank with an esti- mated $7,000. He fled by getting on a bus heading north and leaving it at nearby Thornhill. He left his rain- ; coat on the bus. . Police said the robbery was care- fully planned and executed with a coolness that marks it as the work of a professional. The man entered the bank a few minutes before closing time and waited until the last customer had left. He then pulled the automatic pisol from his pocket. 'All right, everybody get in the vault. I'm not fooling," he shouted. He herded the staff into the vault, collected the money and fled.

Under the $1,500,000 deal, the fed- eral government will take over the 1952 stocks held by the producers and offer them for sale at cost. It may take some time to sell the cheese. Meanwhile the producers, hard-pressed for cash, will get funds quickly to tide them over until the situation is clarified on their 1953 production. Producers have a lot of cheese on hand, but few buyers. Under the Co-operative Marketing Act, the federal government has offered to renew the 1952 guarantee of 24 cent a pound on the cheddar, pro- viding the Ontario government will renew its 1952 six-cent-a-pound gua- rantee, bringing the guaranteed price to producers to 30. cents a pound. But the Ontario government is reported to have declined to grant the six-cent request.

S. va OSHAWA 'DIAL 5-3577 To Toast By Canadian Press Staff Writer IN KOREA (CP)--Canadian sol- diers here will toast the Queen on Coronation Day. Brig. Jean Allard, 25th Canadian infantry brigade commander, has ordered units to provide suitable beverages for the toast at parades to be held in company and platoon positions as near to noon that day as possible. Officers and their men will toast Her Majesty together, and then give three cheers. Most units will drink the toast in beer, but some are trying to obtain enough port to do it in the wine traditionally associated with officers' toasts to the Queen. PRAYERS FOR QUEEN Allard also has asked units able to do so to hold church parades earlier that day to pray for guid- ance and success for the Queen. Church parades at which special prayers will be offered for the Queen have been arranged through- gus the division for Sunday May There will be a divisional parade at noon Coronation Day.' Partici- pating will be 21 contingents rep- resenting all units, corps and ser- vices, and all countries with troops in the division. Tankers from Canada's Lord Strathcona's Horse will parade with members of the Royal Tank Regiment. Canadian service corps men such as medicals, ordnance, engineers and the like will march with fellow corps members from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and India.

Thirty-five Cana- dians are known to be on the list, but all but nine or 10 have returned to Canada. The supplementary list is not to be confused with the Coronation 'medal, struck in commemoration of the Coronation. It is an extra group of standard awards, rang- ing from mentions in dispatches to Commander of the Order of the British Empire, authorized as sup- plementary to the normal allot- ments. Nominations for the Coronation Doucett has sent a Premier Leslie Frost, now in Lon- don for the Coronation, describing the damage caused by last Thurs- day's tornado in Sarnia and town- ships in Lambton, Perth, Oxford and Middlesex ccunties.- He reported that the townships | appeared to have suffered greater damage than Sarnia on the basis of population but because of 'the admirable spirit of persons in rural | fied communities, appeals for aid were withheld until Sarnia's exact situa- ton was clarified." Red Cross relief efforts are in progress in-the stricken areas and the highways department is work- ing on clearing the wreckage in most rural districts. |St. Laurent Told Of Storm Trouble TORONTO (CP)--Acting Premier Tl presented Massey by H.
