The celebration calls for a family dinner and dancing as part of a mo- dest observance, Messages and gifts have been pouring into Balmoral and Buckingham Palaces for the Princess. Margaret loves to dance and has been known to do so until 4 a.m. She goes for modern dance music in the movies and is partial to down- to-earth comedy on the radio The young Princess doesn't smoke, She drinks only a little champagne now and then. She can cook, make beds, shop and run household gad- gets if need be. Many consider' the Princess the most photogenic of the Royal fam- ily. Her hair, which shows dark in photographs, actually is fair, Her complexion is creamy, scarcely need- ing the make-up she uses more la- vishly than the King and Queen like, She has large blue eyes which are merry and inquisitive, and at times pensive. The Princess isn't overawed by affairs of state. Nothing could illus- trate this fact better than an inci- dent during the Royal family's, tour of South Africa in 1947. Margaret and Elizabeth were standing in a garden during a farewell dance par- ty tendered the visiting Royalty.

Prime Minister Back in Ottawa Ottawa, Aug. 21 (CP)--Cloaked in almost as much secrecy as his going away, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King returned to the capital Friday night and hardly a.person was there to greet him. Thus ended a seven-day holiday for the "grand old man" of Cana- dian politics, the man who has held office as Prime Minister for a longer period than any other Prime Min- ister in the Commonwealth. Only a lone newspaper man and three of Mr, King's officials stood there waiting as the mighty C.N.R. locomotive carrying his private car attached to the rear of a long train roared into Ottawa's' Union Station a few minutes before midnight. The station was deserted when Mr. King finally alighted and pack- ed himself into his sleek black car bound for his summer home at nearby Kingsmere, Que. in the Gatineau Hills. Mr. King looked bronzed, happy and eager to tackle the affairs of state. On Monday he will be back in his office on Parliament Hill to take up again the duties of Prime Minister.

Aug. 21 -- (CP) --Davy Jones checked four vessels into his locker off Nova Scotia dur- ing the past week but their crews laughed in his face today and pre- pared to go to sea again. Friday the collier Larkspur plunged to her doom shortly after springing a leak off nearby Low Point and her 12 crew members rowed away without injury. A few hours earlier, the trawler Arleux--wartime navy gateship at Halifax Harbor--sank and her 22- man crew escaped without serious injury when her bottom was ripped out by an explosion. Capt. Edward Denty says a wartime mine de- stroyed., his ship. Just one. week ago two other ves- sels were lost off Nova Scotia with- out injuries to the crew. In the warm summer weather the hardy seamen dismissed their experiences as trifling, but admitted that if the accident had happened in winter there would have been numerous casualties. The fishing boat Ronnie T. ex- ploded and burned to the water's 'edge off Lunenburg Aug. 13 and the 42-ton collier Ernest G., a convert- ed Fairmile launch, went to a wat- ery grave off nearby Sydney in much the same manner. The 390-ton Larkspur, a former United States Navy tug with a crew of Newfoundlanders, <leared nearby North Sydney with 300 tons of coal for Curling, Nfld. Off Low Point, on the eastern shore of Cape Breton Island, she sprung a plate and the crew took to boats just before she went under. In a short time they were picked up by the fishing boat Yodelling Ranger and taken to Glace Bay, where they promptly proceeded to have a party.

DOMINION ROYAL TIRES Coldwell Advises Parley to Ignore Reds' Propaganda By John LeBlanc Canadian Press Staff Writer Winnipeg, Aug. 21 (CP)--Already embarked on several major socialist policies, the C.C.F. national convention today got down to final study of its "first-term" program of social- ization. Due for consideration -- and virtually certain to be written into the platform -- were planks calling for socializa- tion of coal and steel industries and the fuel industries such as gas, oil and electricity. That "socialization" would take the form either of state or co-operative ownership. Plans adopted in the last two days included public ownership of the ranks and of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The party by order of the con- vention, is committed to putting the socialization measures into ef- fect in its first term as a federal government. Public or co-operative ownership of industries affecting agriculture also would be a C.C.F. commitment under the farm plank adopted Friday. Industries to be socialized in this way would take in the manufacture of farm machinery and fertilizer and the meat-pack- ing business. As already adopted, chief points in the farm program include: 1. Guaranteed prices for farmers. 2. A national Marketing Act. 3. Adoption of the '"ever-normal granary" principle. 4. Crop insurance that would take in such products as grains, flax, potatoes and fruit. Adoption of the first eight sec- tions of the 13-point farm program went through without major dissent but a furore was stirred up over the national council proposal to give unqualified endorsement to the European Recovery Program. The endorsement was given, but only after the national leadership had hauled out heavy artillery to bat down demands from sections of Manitoba and British Columbia for a condemnation of United States administration of E.R.P. The debate hit such a pitch that National Leader M. J. Coldwell-- joining in a discussion for the first time of the convention--charged Communist - inspired propaganda against E.R.P. had infiltrated into the C.CF. Mr. Coldwell urged the delegates not to "waste time discussing Com- munist propaganda." After hearing the national offi- cers, the convention--which has 165 voting delegates--adopted thé E.R.P. endorsation with only two dis- senters. In other international fields, the convention rejected proposals from the floor for C.C.F. initial partici- pation in a world government and for elimination of the veto from the United Nations' deliberations. At an evening dinner, Mr. Cold- well said the C.C.F. welcomes politi- cal coalitions against . it * because that draws the dividing line be- tween "the forces of privilege and reaction and those of social justice and progress."

The telegram, made public by the association secretary, Mrs. F. E. Wright of nearby Port Credit, said increased prices for eggs, shorten- ing and soap were causing hard ships. Mothers!
