Most of the thousands of Canadians from all walks of life attending the cere- monies are now in England. Canada’s militarycontingents are training at Pir- bright Camp in Surrey; Royal Canadian Mounted Police are putting their horses through last-minute drills at Hyde Park; jet pilots of the R.C.A.F. are practicing for ’a fly-past at North Lufienham; and Canadian naval vessels are preparing for the giant naval review at Spithead.

This is the first of a series of articles he will be writing for The Liberal. Sailing For The Coronation I watched the lights of the city come on from’the observation tow~ or of the Empire State Building. There among the clouds the streets and buildings came out in lights as the sunset gradually faded in the west. This was truly a magnificent sight. When my sailing for the Coron- ation was changed from Montreal to New York I decided to take an extra day in the big city and see some of the sights. , Arriving Monday morning I started in to see those niaces which most everyone coming here, visits. Radio City. the big stores and the 5th Avenue shops. When I came down it was with the intention of seeing a show or night club which is what most people believe is a must in New York. As I reached Broadway the mas- ses of people were on the street and the stores and restaurants and shows which line both sides \u‘ere brilliantly lighted and throngs of people were surging along. â€" I just walked. past one after another of those entrances with liveried at- tendants in front. names of places one often sees in print, down to- wards Times Square. On the end of the “flat iron” building a big electric sign adver- tised a Canadian brand of whiskey (which incidentally brings about double pricei to the New York thirsty. However, the word Can- Saw a purse snatcher try his luck and fail, saw him knock over a theatre attendant who tried to stop him, a'id watched the crowd gather round. Heard a blind man singing, “Isn’t it a small world" as he was led slowly along by his seeing eye dog while passers-by dropped coins in his cup. "Brdadway was our beat." I walked down one way and back on the other side. 241 759 emanation. Tuesday morning I toured the United Nations building. The post office there refused to take a Can- adian dollar in payment for pos- tage stamps which could be used only in that building. The clerk said Canadian money “would be difi‘icult to bank." The Coronation carriage with its four teams of white horses and riders and guards are complete in life size plaster of paris. Details are most exact even to a scar on the face of one of the medalled guards. Throngs of people are con- tinually passing to view it. Finally, when my feet could take no more I returned to the hotel. adian felt good to ‘walk past The restaurants which are every- where seem all to be filled. One attendant handed me a pass which read. “Beautiful girls as dancing partners." Coronation Theme In front of Rockefeller Centre in a sunken garden surrounded with flags of all nations there has been set up a Coronation Caval- cade. ' It was at this time I suddenly found I was in the midst of 70 ladies from my own neighborhood in Simcoe County. They were on a bus tour and had been in Wash- ington before visiting New York. They hoped to be at the dock to see me off. all 70 of them. lThey also wanted to see the Queen Ell- zabeth which would be docking as I was embarking.) After a bus ride to the suburbs where the native New Yorkers llve in apartment houses I took the un- derground back to the hotel to pack before leaving. Some of them were weekly newspaper correspondents and were delighted to know the week- ly newspapers had a correspondent going to the Coronation.

Queen Elizabeth II. and to provide a living memorial of this outstanding event we are erecting bleachers in the Park. It is the hope of every member of‘the Committee that every child will make his or her contribution to this project, five. ten cents or a quarter. so that each will realize in the future that they had a share in it. Will you. the parents, cooperate with us? We sincerely hope so. We have already bought and paid for one set of bleachers seat- ing 50 people and can purchase the second set if everyone will lend a hand, financially, even in a small way. Let‘s all work together in this project. And don’t forget Tuesday, June 2. in the Park. There the bleach- ers will be opened and dedicated. and our children will have a part in the afternoon program.
