monial aspects of important
military and official funerals.
You might say that the
VIP welcomes and farewells
are the glamorous part Of
Maj. Kings job.
The biggest welcome he as
sisted in planning was the
State visit here two years
ago of Queen Elizabeth and
Prince Philip.
1t was an about full dress
ceremonial welcome, COM
plete with a parade from the
airport to the White House.
1t had to be perfectly
planned. THE State Depart
ment wanted a time estimate
on everything" Mai. King
recalled. This was the
longest-timed route we'd had
up to that time"
Since there was no prece-
dent to follow other than the
Army field manual instruc-
lions on the honor guard
ceremony, Maj. King wrote
the orders for the military
ceremonies during the
Queens visit. 1t has become
standard procedure for SUBJ
Sequent state visits.
That the royal couples ar
rival at the White House was
only off by Is seconds is a
tribute to Mai. Kings care
full planning. I'VE had a fixed
time to arrive at Twenty
third street and Constitution
avenue" he explained, "but
after that there could be no
time adjustment because we
had troops marching. And
of course we couldn't have
rehearsed."
A Close Call
The timing of the rate of
march was done by rehears-
ing the troops along Arling-
ton Ridge road and Memo
rial drive.
Maj. King recalls a close
call he and State Department
officials had during one of

these troop rehearsals. The
Army Band was playing the
Col. Bogey March, a familiar
martial melody as popular in
Britain as it is here. Sud-
denly a British Embassy
official rushed up and ex-
claimed, mo, no. you can't
play that in the Queens
presence" The explanation
was that there were certain
unofficial barracks lyrics that
were generally know in Brit
ain. Thus playing of the
music in the Queens presence
would be embarrassing.
Chicago Welcome
More recently Mai. King
again had a hand in plan
ming a military welcome and
farewell ceremony for Queen
Elizabeth during her one-day
visit to Chicago in connec-
ton with the week-long cele-
bration Of the opening Of the
st. Lawrence Seaway.
The State Department
asked the Defense Depart
ment for Maj. Kings services
as a project officer detailed
to the 5th Army in the Chi
cago area.
An added feature which
Mai. King engineered and
which added a colorful note
of pageantry to the proceed
ings were Is herald trum-
peteerS who made their debut
with the Army Bands well
come to the Queen as she
stepped of the royal yacht.
The specially made 3-foot
long trumpets arrived only
a week before the band left
for Chicago.
A Chicago newspaper
quoted Mai. Kings reaction
to the Chicago welcome for
the Queen. I've seen a lot
of receptions for royalty in
Washington but nothing,
absolutely nothing can COM
pare to this. Everywhere we
went the streets were lined
with people"
A Minor Change
AS a matter of fact it was
because of this that Maj.
King had to make a minor
change in the schedule
when the Queen and Prince
Philip were ready to depart.
The officer left a large ban.

after the first toast in order
to go down to the lakeside

Majesty was to depart and

honors.

royal encourage was to pass

WORDS, WIT

BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Everyone remembers words
which we knew and used in
childhood but which, aston
ishingly. are not to be found
in our dictionaries today. Most
such words, Of course, are re-
gional dialect terms which
never gained enough general
usage to warrant listing in
standard dictionaries.
A case in point is brought
up by a California correspond
ent who writes: II have a ques-
ton to ask you. 1t is concern

meaning help
Being a Southern boy Il

thought the use of hope for
help was used chiefly by Ar

often smiled at its use. telling

FAMOUS FABLES

Gift: In 1898. after leaving
the Philippines where he
had served as Governor Gen.
eral. Theodore Roosevelt, jr.,
accompanied by his wife,
went on q round-the-world-
tour. Among other places
they visited Afghanistan,
writes Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt, IT,, In DAY After Yes

"Our host was Zul Facar,
assistant to the Prime Min
lister, who loved to play little
Jokes on US. For several days
before we left Zul Facar had
been saying that the Afghan
government intended to give
me q present.
when he finally said
goodby, he handed me q
wooden box about seven
inches square and said:
May I present the COM
pliments Of my government
and beg that you will accept
this small token Of their re-
gard? It is an egg from one
Of our Afghan pigeons. When

II thanked him without
showing how I felt about 1t.
What on earth made them
think an egg would keep until
we got home? We set out
to drive the rs miles to our
next destination, over the
worst road in the world.
Time and again we hit deep
holes. Each time this hap
pened some one was sure to
land on q sharp corner Of the
box. Finally Ted said:
"T've had enough of this
damned box and threw it
out the window.
