Bill for Royal Coup lie One Night
In Canadian Hotel Is $500

FORT WILLIAMS, Ontario, Oct
80 (N.A.N.A.-Kemnews) Princes
Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin-
burgh stayed in one of Canada S
luxurious railway hotels last night
for the first time on their tour
The bill was $500 for dinner and
bed and breakfast for themselves
and their retinue. In preparation
for this royal visit, a three room
suite on the third floor of the
Prince Arthur Hotel here was
entirely redecorated.
Special furnishings were brought
from luxurious Jasper Lodge Hotel,
1.200 miles away and the staff was
brought from swagger Chateau
Laurier Hotel, in Ottawa. Tonight
this royal suite will rent for SAT,
but by then the Limoges china
and the smart modern furniture
will be on its way back to Jasper
and all the Silverware and linen,
plainly marked Canadian National
Railways. will be mixed up with
other hotel stock to thwart SOU
venir hunters.
"You will be responsible for
lodging the royal couple for one
night" the hotel manager, Arthur
Mann, was told two months ago.
After 20 years in business. he can
ride out any average storm, but
this was in the hurricane class.
''The Prince Arthur was chosen
for the royal couples first expert
ence Of our hotels. so I had to put
up some sort of a show" Mr..
Mann said. His first problem was
how does royalty sleep? He set
tied this by putting twin beds IN
the Princess room and a double
bed in the, Dukes room.
He decided to block up the bath
room windows and cut new ones
5 feet higher.
ut would be embarrassing" he
IF people were to boast
afterwards that they had seen the
royal silhouettes."
Some Of the furniture and all
the plumbing is as old as the mas
sive, 41-year-old hotel. Friends
cheered him by asserting that even
the best English bathrooms often
are just as old-fashioned, but he
decided to make complete
change. BY next year, the whole
hotel will have been done over
to match. New, wall-to-wall car
pets were laid, and new curtains
hung. A new radiophonograph
was put in the royal sitting room,
and, remembering Elizabeth's new
craze for square dancing, Mr..
Mann supplied albums of hoe
down music, such as ''Dive for the
Oyster" as we'll as of oklahoma"
and Chopin.

ing.

officer, said conditions described in
the report were probably true, in
part"
He added, however, that for
every enlisted man or officer hav-
ing to put up with substandard
living conditions, there are at
least a dozen enjoying average
living conditions, both from the
standpoint of comfort and sani-
tation."
Gen. Hendrickson, who lives on
the post. said his wife has "a very

Congress and defense officials
had before them today a report
demanding immediate steps to
correct urgent and almost tragic
housing problems confronting
servicemen in numerous Army
posts in the country.
The report, issued by the SEN
ate Armed Services Preparedness
subcommittee, said servicemen are
being forced to house their fami-
lies in coverted garages. coal
sheds. chicken coops, barns, tool
sheds, smokehouses and, in one
case, a house built of whisky
bottles and beer cans.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Texas, said its investigators found
also that it is commonplace for
landlords in the Army installa-
ton areas to increase rent tc
Servicemen by 100 per cent over
what had been previously charged.
In one instance, it was reported.
the rent gouging ran to 500 per
cent.
