After the long, long wait during which time utmost order was kept, the Roval 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 blueâ€"clad line she turned to the Man beside her, "Oh, the Guides!" she said, and gave them the recognition that they were longing for. With mouths wide open, all set to cheer, with the Bands and Scouts, bands and kilties, bands and childrenâ€"and children and childrenâ€"the procession seemed interâ€" minable. The Guides were wilting. It was a long hard tiring journey they had come, and no lunch. Captain Wilâ€" 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. Owâ€" ing <to the number of children, and never have we seen so many, the proâ€" cession was started early so that they might all be placed in time.

South Porcupine, June 7.â€"(Special to The Advanceâ€"â€"There are fAfty Bouth Porecupine and Dome girls toduy that are the happiest yvoung people in town. They went to Sudbury to see UMie 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 fortyâ€"nine saw the qQueen. The Queenâ€"did we say; w» meant our Queen:; for isn‘t she a Guide? And to begin at the beginning â€" At 3 am. on Monday Afty eager vyoung people got on the train at South Poreupine with equipment and luneches to start the Grand Adventure. Both Guide Companies (Dome and South Porcupine) carried the eolours wrapâ€" ped to display on the marech in Sudâ€" 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 funy expected them to be tired out when they reached But exciteâ€" 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 Northâ€" ern Ontario for the route march. We were proud of them. They looked smart even after the long train ride, and in the procession were cheered as the ‘"Dome" flag was noted. ‘Guides! CGuides! Guides!

"HMe was fine,"" was the reply, "And didn‘t you think the Queen was beauâ€" tiful?" Afraid of committing himself too far, he replied, "Well, I thought she was mighty goodâ€"lookin‘:" Back with the Guides agzain, and waitng on the lawn beside the station we saw the fireworks display. The train was late, and the annountâ€" 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 anotherâ€"because the reâ€" served coach for Guides had been takâ€" Hats were lost, bags and belts were gone, but who cared?

In our dreams on Tuesday night we saw children, and children and more children, bands, Guides, Scouts, policeâ€" men and children, and more children, and cnce more heard the voice of the train announcer of Sudbury saying, as he had said when we were leavingâ€" "There is a little boy from Blind River, who is lost. His name isâ€"â€"â€"! Thanks are due to Captain Wilkins and Captain Bessette, of South Porcuâ€" pine and to Captain Leiterman of the Dome for their unfailing care, and unâ€" 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!

"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 seatâ€"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 stocod up and completely blocked the view even though thZ child was lifted up. A more brokenâ€" hearted youngster it would be difficult to find. They had gone for ever, and she could not see them. "Never mind," comforted a Guide, "vou join the Guides and when the King and Queen come again, yOu will be right in the front row!"

After going back to hea.dquarters (and â€" reâ€"fuelling) ‘the leaders found that the King and Queen would be coming back along the line of route from the Frood Mine. So orâ€" ders. were given to try to find places to see them. The ear went on. Too quickly it reached the dais, too quickly for thouâ€" sands of pairs of yvoung eyes, the forâ€" 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 Emâ€" bodiment of that loyalty, that pride of 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:â€""I saw the King, I saw the Queen"â€"a memory that will last forever.
