At an age when most men and: women are retiring, the charming mother of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Mar- garet is as busy as a beaver in her native Scotland, with no thought of fading away. 'What's she doing on her birthday?" said a close friend in response to a question. 'Why, she'll probably go fish- ing."' "Fishing?" "Yes, salmon fishing. There are few things she likes better and few people who are better et. i." On her birthday the widow of King George VI was at her MI reprnenneev runner QUEEN MOTHER IS Castle of Mey, located on the wild and windy northern tip of Scotland hard by John O'Groats. But gun salutes will be fired in London's Hyde Park and by naval ships and shore batteries. At Clarence House, her Lon- don home, an informant said there will be a small birthday cake, a glass or two of cham- pagne, telephone calls and tele- grams from her family and friends, calls from some of her neighbors and, of course, pres- ents. GOES EVERYWHERE An extremely energetic and friendly woman, the Queen Mother already this year has visited' Jamaica, Canada, France and West Germany, and fulfilled 61 public engagements in Britain. Few members of royalty any- where can have led a more ex- iciieiacaens 65 TODAY emplary life or one more ded- icated to duty. In 42 crowded years of con- stantly being in the public eye, there has never been any criticism of her actions or ac- tivities and never so much as a whisper of scandal. For some- - one in her high position, this must be unique. : By being herself--which in her case means friendly, cour- teous, considerate, wise and witty--she has endeared herself to many people in many places. There was the time down in South Africa when an ultrae nationalist with the Boer War in- mind told her: 'We find it difficult to forget what the Eng- lish did to us." With a smile upon her face, she replied: "I do so sympa- thize with you. You see, I'm Scots." .
