I'D you watch all the
Domp and pagantry
that went into the
coronation of the
lovely Queen Eliza
beth on Tuesday? The old, old
city of London, beside historic
Thames, turned out the bright
side Of its legends to be in tune
with all else that went on for
the crowning. It was a proud
day for England and the people
certainly did honor to their
new ruler. What an opportun-
ity to see the place in its party
dress! We heard that there
were those who had kept their
places forty-eight hours on end.
in the rain, through the night
and on into the eyentful day.
Perhaps there were some Am
ericans who did that, but know
ing the restlessness of these
people it is doubtful if they
could endure what the stout
hearted Britishers could take
to see their queen. Elizabeth
End seems very young to
shoulder the problems that are
England's just now but none
will be forgetting doughty
Churchill, who pledged his al
legience and his best efforts to
her in that most impressive
ceremony. Long live the
Queen!
