Tea And Prayer,
Nursery Visit,
Open Queens Day

LONDON R-Queen Elizabeth II
began her Coronation Day with q
cup of tea and a prayer.
The young monarch awoke early,
about 1880 a. m. Her maid deliv-
cred the usual tray of tea and
placed it on the bedside table.
There was something different
this morning, however, for on the
tray was a posy of fresh flowers
with little note reading:
with every possible good wish
today and always. From Mac and
Smith,"
The signers were her personal
maid, Mary Macdonald, and her
undermaid, Helen Smith.
On arising, the Queen knelt alone
in her bedroom and prayed. She
breakfasted in her private apart
ments overlooking Buckingham
Palace gardens.
The Duke of Edinburgh was up
early too. He and the Queen, proud
parents, visited the nursery.
Nurses Helen Lightbody and Mabel
Anderson were trying frantically to
quiet their two excited royal
charges-Prince Charles and Prin-
cess Anne.
The 4-year-old prince sensed It
was big day ahead for him. He
was to see part of the coronation
ceremony in Westminster Abbey.
The Queens guests breakfasted
in their suites. They included the
Duke Of Edinburgh's mother, Prin-
cess Andrew of Greece, the crown
prince and princess Of Norway,
and Prince and Princess Axel Of
Denmark.
The whole palace scene in the
early part of the morning was one
of quiet actiyity--except in the
nursery.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-06-02

In a moving coronation message
prepared for broadcast to the ma
tons and territories throughout
her globe-girdling Commonwealth
and empire, the young Queen
pledged with all my heart" to de-
vote her life to the service of her
peoples.
''In this resolve, have my hus-
band to support me-" she said.
Elizabeth gave her peoples
Britain's high creed. She said:
parliamentary institutions with
their free speech and the respect
for the rights of minorities and the
inspiration of a broad tolerance in
thought and its expression-all this
we conceive to be precious part
of our way of life and outlook"
Elizabeth said this message has
been sustained and invigorated
over centuries by the British fam
uy Of nations. She said these prin-
ciples were "as sacred to the
crown and monarchy as to its
many ParliamentS end peoples"
81 ask you now to cherish them
and practice them, too" she said.
"Then we can go forward together
in peace, seeking justice and free
dom for all men,"
She spoke of the unity in spirit
and aim of Britain's many lands
and races. She said, therefore, l
am sure that this, my coronation,
is not the symbol Of a power and
a splendor that are gone but
declaration of our hopes for the
future and fir the years that
may, by Gods grace, be given to
reign and serve you as Queen"
She bade farewell with these
words:
81 thank you from full heart.
God bless you all"

panion bills in the two Houses of
the Legislature would be elimi-
mated under a resolution today
passed by the Senate and sent to
the House.
The resolution calls for appoint
ment of three senator's and three
representatives to study changes
in legislative procedure so that
each house would have a daily
record of the status of companion
bills.
Sen. Franklin, Ft. Myers, spon-
Sor of the resolution. said the eff
ficiency of the 1858 session had
been hampered by confusion over
companion bills, with one house
passing bin and sending it to the
other where it got lost in commit.
tee, then seeing an identical bill
come over from the other house a
few weeks or days later.
TALLAHASSEE R-Rep. Edna
Pearce Of Highlands County won
unanimous House passage Of her
alcoholic rehabilitation center bill
today after jokingIy inviting her
colleagues to take advantage Of its
facilities. ANEW
The measure. which already has
passed the Senate, now goes TO
Gov. McCarty. 1t authorizes ss-
adjustment of a rehabilitation cen.
ter for alcoholics in Highlands
County and an out-patient clinic
in other sections Of the state.
The 1851 Legislature passed
bill authorizing an alcoholics hos
pital in Highlands County but the
Cabinet never released money for
its construction.
Cabinet members were told such
a hospital was an ineffective wea.
pom against alcoholism and similar
institutions had proved unsuccess-
full in other states.
Miss Pearce told the House To-
day she and Highlands County au.
thorities now realize the hospital
plan was unwise and are backing
the alternate rehabilitation center
proposal.
The center and clinics would Be
financed with an earmarked por.
ton Of the state tax on alcoholic
beverages. Half a million dollars
already has accumulated in a spec.
ial fund from the tax during the
past two years.
