We got up at 4.20 am. I got Dale bathed and fed, Allan got breakfast. We made lunch for dinner and took lots of ice cold water in our big thermos and left. We took Dale’s carriage in the back of the truck and he lay on the seat between us as we were travelling. We found a dandy spot under a big tree to When we were in Ibadan we drove around just to see the decorations and they were real- 'ly wonderful. It made you feel that something great had taken place. Above the bigger stores they had large pictures of the Queen and maybe a large crown. The streets, service stations‘ and homes were just full of flags and streamers. The Africans are very fond of show and celebration. When they get excited about a thing. they talk, talk talk Thousands had come into Ibadan just to see the Queen. Up at 4.20 Over the radio they had anâ€" nouncers at each place just as they do at home to describe her arrival and her movements at each place and. they really got excited. To them it was a great. event. They cheered her just like we whites do, only they called “Kabo. Kabo" which means “Welcome! Welcome!" Decorations She surely didn't have much time to rest. Her days started at 9 a.m.. then she had lunch at 1.30. Then after her evening meal they had a _garden party in all the bigger places where she was. Sometimes they would sit on the top verandah of Govern- ment House and watch fireworks till 10.30. Some Were complain- ing about her having such a full schedule. The Africans were amazed that she was so young and small because they think of a big chief in great flowing robes and big head-dress. Most of them are Mohammedans. They thought she saw them all as she seemed to look around at everything. Radio Assists in nice cotton dresses. The day we saw her she wore a pretty blue hat and dress. She is very prim and sits quite straight. She is just as pretty as they say. When she waves. she is so grace- ful and never showed any signs of being tired, in spite of the heat. “The Queen was given a royal welcome in Nigeria, but now she is safely back in England. We heard her arrival re-broadcast Friday evening. They were an hour late because of engine trouble in Tripoli. We noticed too she was wearing a fur coat when she got out of the plane in Eng- land. Out here she went around In a recent letter. Mrs. Allan Doner describes seeing Queen Elizabeth in Nigeria. The letter will be of interest to our readers. It was dated February 20.

Mrs. Roy Brillinger recently had the misfortune to slip and break her left elbow. Mr. John Sider has 3150 been confined to bed for over a week. We were talking to an African policeman who had certainly been around the world and had very good comprehension of English. He said it took 17 3-ton trucks to bring the Queen's loads and those in the party to Ibadan. It was a dav worthwhile but we were tired ” Going into the University they drove quite fast. By the time Al- lan got his camera set and took a picture and his glasses back on, she was gone. But then we went downtown in Ibadan and came back at 2:30 and she pass- ed again coming out after hav- ing lunch there. We had a wonâ€" derful view, could have talked to her, she was so close to us. They had the windows up in the after~ noon as it was so hot. They say they had air conditioning and two fans in the car. In the morn- ing they had the top down. They were in the royal maroon Rolls- Royce brought from England for the occasion. Byer of St. Ann's wait the hour before we saw her at 11 am. It was just at the cor- ner that turns off the main high- way into the University College. There were quite a few Africans across the corner from us ahd some where we were, probably 200 or 300.- Then there were three girls from the SIM. here in Ilorin. You remember I told you about Jean Linton from Claremont â€" well, she was one of them. By the way she goes home for furlough in April. Before the Queen arrived they came along and watered the road. Of course all traffic was closed off half an hour before she came. There were plenty of Nigerian police on hand to see that no one went out past the ropes. Correspondent: Mrs. Chas.
