46 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, September 21, 1958 Queen's Next Christmas Will Be Sunny, Musical By R. A. KENNER AUCKLAND (Reuters) -- As the liner Gothic sails into this lovely Waitemata ('sparkling waters") harbor two days before Christmas for the Queen and her sailor hus- band to begin their tour of New 2ealand, the couple will be greeted, by cheering crews from some 2,000 yachts and motorboats, some from hundreds of miles away. From North Head, around which the Royal liner will sail into the inner harbor, guns already sited will fire a Royal salute. For the Queen's landing -- the first by a reining monarch in New Zealand--the Royal Navy will provide the Royal guard, while Britain's Royal Marine band, on loan to the New Zealand navy, will sound a stirring musical welcome. Given normal southern hemis- phere December sunshine, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, on their half-mile drive to Gov- ernment House, should see Auck- land at its gayest since English- men found it over a century ago. The Royal couple and their im- tediate attendants will reside at Government House where the head gacdener and his five assistant: are replanting annuals and dis- play flowers in preparation for the visit. $ Rows of carnations, a favorite flower of the Queen, are already in the kitchen garden, 400 chBice specimens have been planted in the rose garden and more than 1,000 hydrangea in the main ter- race. Government House itself was el- ~aborately refitted for the planned visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1949. This was can- celled because of the late king's health. In addition, a magnificent cream - colored carpet for the Queen's bedroom has recently been imported from England. One of the highlights of the Royal visit will be the Queen's broadcast Christmas Day to the peop of the C wealth, the first Royal Christmas message to be broadcast outside the United Kingdom. The time selected will probably be between 7 and 10 p.m. so that the voice of the Queen will be heard in Britain on Christmas Day morning, New Zealand being about 12 hours in 'ront of Britain. Emphasis on youth is a feature of Auckland planning for the visit and some 40,000 children are ex- pected to assemble to greet the Queen. There also will be held the big- gest fireworks display in the Dom- inion's history. This will be put on by business men in co-operation with a British fireworks firm. . A Royal race meeting will be held on the beautiful Ellerslie race course on the day following Christ- mas with special trophies to mark the ocomsion. The Queen is to pre- sent the gold trophy to the winner of the Auckland Cup. Some 5,000 Maori natives--2,000 from the four host tribes and 3,000 from tribes in other parts of New Zealand--will welcome the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to Rotorua, the main centre of the hot springs district, on the after- noon of Jan. 2. The ceremony will be held in Arawa Park. The Ar- awa chiefs, in welcoming governor- general Sir Willoughby Norrie re- cently, asked to "have tHe Queen for a whole day." The Royal couple will rest for a few days in January at Moose Lodge, an elaborate vacation home ROOM AND BOARD ALL THE JUNK HAS BEEN MOVED OUT OF THE ATTIC, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR HANDLING AND NAILING UP THE INSULATING BOARD/-- NOW.

Mother Finds Lost Son Facing Murder Trial ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP)--A wo- man who hasn't seen her son for 14 years has found him in jail here, charged with second-degree murder. Mrs. Gladys St. John of Corn- wall, Ont., read in a newspaper of the arrest of 25-year-old Har6ld St. John in the hitch-hike slaying of Joseph Harding near Zanesville last month. Convinced he was her son she last saw in Boston 14 years ago, she wrote him: 'Please write me, dear, if you are my son, and I feel in my heart you are, and tell me what hap- pened. ,. . If I possibly can do anything w:iin my power I'll do it so gladly. For I love you and always will love you, son, and I hope you are glad to get this letter from me and please excuse my writing and mistakes for I am pretty shaky. . . ."
