Carnival, from the Latin “farewell to the meat”, is one of the original names for this period of feasting and revelry. ' In New Orleans the celebration of Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) climaxes the three-days of merry-making including brilliant processions, masquerade balls, and other en- tertainments which attract people from all over America.

Twenty-four years ago tomorrow, February 6th, 1952, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 entered Westminster Abbey through the West Doors to be greeted by the Archbishop as the boys of Westminster School welcomed Her with the cry “Vivat Regina Elizabethus". The occasion on that date was the tran- sformation of Princess Elizabeth to Queen Elizabeth 11, performed through the service of coronation. Among the many notables who wit- ‘nessed the pomp and glory of the Coronation, was HRH The Duke Of Cornwall (Bonnie Prince Charles).

The dog is put outside, the kettle filled and burner turned on, and my early morning ablutions are underway. Sometime between my third and fourth gash with the safety razor, the kettle’s whistle sounds off, bringing the missus down to the main level to turn it off and give me a “good morning” kiss.

Parents are urged to explain to their young skaters that when they earn a badge they then progress to a new group where they practise for the next badge. This should avoid the confusion about group lessons there has been lately. It is also a good idea to put all the badges together on a ribbon or sweater which the child wears when skating. Then the pro and the executive will know in which group they belong. Also the children like to “show off ” their badges and it could make some of them practise a little harder. Badges are 2_5 cents each. It might help to repeat a few rules here. Absolutely no gum chewing on the ice. Gum on a skater’s blade could result in a fatal ac- cident. “363a play tag or pull and push each other around and please be considerate of those doing solos.
