Because of city ordinance pro-
hibiting the blocking of streets in
st. Paul and the difficulty in get
ting proper lighting effects without
too much expense to the commit
tee, The Block Party has been
changed to a carnival at Halle @.
Brown House on the same dates as
have been given for the Block
Party Aug. 26 and 81. The various
activities will be conducted as was
originally planned. Delicious home
made bakery goods will be sold by
the Bakery Committee-Jose Will
iams, chairman.
Hot dogs, pop, candy, cracker
jacks and ice cream.
A ton of coal, a magazine rack
and many worthwhile awards to be
given away at the Halle @. Brown
Benefit Carnival which will be held
at the Community House August
26 and 81, instead of the 600 Block
of st. Anthony Avenue. Several
city ordinances prevented having a
block party in the manner in which
it was originally planned, conse-
quently a big carnival with many
attractions will take its place.

Crowned at Bath

In the early days all the Anglo
Saxon kings were crowned at Win
chester, the capital of Wessex. King
Ethelwulf, however, sent the five
year-old Harold to Rome, where he
was consecrated king by Pope Leo.
He was crowned again at Winchester.
It is not known for certain, says a
writer in London Tit-Bits Magazine,
where Edward, Alfred's eldest sur
viving son, was crowned; some old
writer's say at Kingston-on- Thames,
others lat Saynt Poules, London"
Athelstan, the first king to call him.
self King of the English" was
crowned in 925 at Kingston. But
King Edgar chose Bath, then known
as Acheman's-chester, for his coro-
nation, which took place in 973. Al
though Edward the Confessor was
himself crowned at Winchester, he
obtained a rescript from Pope Mich
olas II, which said that all future
kings of England must be crowned
at Westminster Abbey. William the
Conqueror and all the succeeding
monarchs have, therefore, held their
coronation ceremony in London's
Abbey.
