They have been ever since my early re- porting days when I was a stringer for anc of Canada'. largeut newspapers. If At hadn't been for the police I would neyer have maade the Royal Tour. Loaded with credentials, co- py paper and aspirin I eased myseif anto my coaoh seat on arecent morning before the dwn had broken into a pink glow on the horizon. In a few hours I would be aboard the Royal Train. At lcast that was the way the~ plan was laid down. When I heard the conductor Onnounce that aur coachi would be held Up on a siding outsidc Toronto ta let the Rayal Train pans on Its way te Harniliton, xny heart sank. I was suppos- ed tobeb.iniHamnilton well ahead o! Her Majesty. 1 began te put my ingenuity to work fer I couldn't a.ffond te sit on a siding lndefinitcly. Any newspaper persan can tel you there are more ways tItan one te skin a cat. My talcet woe gained the synipatbetic car a! the conduc- tan who introduced me to an- other CNR officiai alsa en route ta Hamiilton. I didn't realize it at that moment, but this civvie-garbed gentleman was later ta be a uni!onmed member of the security guard. Ail police officers are reti- cent about making promises. After gruffly advising me to get off the train at the siding and grab a taxi te drive me ta Hamilton, my knight of the rails said there was a possibil- lty there might be room for me in the car that was meeting hlm, ta get me ta miy destina- tion. When the eariy morning train ground ta a haIt we were a mile fnom the station. The conductor gailantly lifted me down froin the high step onto the crushed stone roadbed aif the adjacent tracks. I minced tortuously an high, spike heels behind a stalking mountain ai a man. He was solicitous enough te glance ever bis shoulder every once in a while and ask If I was al ight. "Fine, fine," I assured him as I cussed those hecis, two blisters, a wrencbed ankie and an empty stomach thit ached for a bot cup of cof- tee. Luckily the rabbit's foot in gy pocket began ta pay off. Wen we reached the station anc af the five gentlemen wha was ta rol over the highway,ý was a supeintendent o! inves- tigation for Canadian National. Royalty had nothing on me that mamning as I sait cozily between a great, brawny policeman and thc superintendent. Fnom bere q on rny troubles wore ail on their ahouldens. The driver told mie ho had been te, Mass early that morn- ing to offer a little prayer for a sale journey. Beieve me we needed it, for the main artery road betwecn Toronto and Hamilton was torn up for miles ini unholy confusion. We made detour after detour as sniooth- ly as though we were riding on a magic carpet. When we drove up in front of the station at Hamilton, a wavc of my cern- panion's hand and I was spr- lted through.& security linos inia matter of minutes. I forgot my aching feet and empty stomach as I stood with a battery of photographers eight feet froni the Queen of Canada. When the ceremony of greet- ing by Hamilton's Ma yor and council was at an end, the hard- est working individual I have Imet in some turne (Frank Clarke, of the Royal Tour information staff) escorted me aboard the train. I say hardest working because for the duration ef my stay with the Royal Train, I heard his naine obanted con- istantly. He told nie he was a sort o! Major Domio for the tour and I soon rcalized it was no cineh trying ta meet the de- manda of a trainload of tem- peramental people. My housewifely instinsts were thrilled with the train arrange- ments. Not only the Qucen's comfort and that of Prince Pbilip had been considered, but that of her staff, a carload of Mounted Policemen, sixty re- porters and photographers, plus the crew. Though that train must have seemcd te the Queen like living in a vest pocket after Buckinghami Palace, the~ CNR had obviously omitted no- tbing that would contribute ta a happy journey. Lounge, bedroom and bath, charming dining arrangements and a lighted platform where she could wave ta ber loyal subject.s, were ail amazingly oomy in spite of their neces- sary compactness. I found the secret of the Quen': wrinkle- free frocks and the crease in Philîp's trousers was the well- equipped pressing and baggage car, a dream corne truc for the Queen's dresser and the Pnince's valet.
