SA A tC. A Ak a hyoice of Britain" Has Vast Audience Squeezed Into tight morning coat, brittle collar, and tilted silk foppet, controversial Richard imbleby, 47, strode into Lon- don's Westminster Abbey, puffed vp a winding, gray stone 'stair- vay to a gallery behind the Migh Altar, and eased his 240 pounds into a soundproof cubicle. en, for almost three hours, he escribed the pageantry of the wedding of Princess Margaret to Antony Armstrong-Jones for the largest potential audience in his- tory. The watchers and listeners were spread over six continents. To ruddy-faced Dimbleby, this was just one more assignment for the BBC where he earns $33,000 a year. He has been re- porting major news for Britons since 1937, when he perched atop Whitehall"s Admiralty Arch to describe the coronation proces- slon of George VI. He was on hand for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1933-- squashed into the very same cub- byhole he used for Margaret's wedding, In 1956, Dimbleby was Eurovision's English voice at the wedding of Grace Kelly to Mon- aco's Prince Rainier.

ISSUE 21 -- 1960 thumb along her hand to calm her, the camera revealed it all." Britain's royal family, which watched the Monaco shindig, has ruled out all cameras in front of the altar at Margaret's wedding. TV cameras will show the mar- riage ceremony from the rear, As a result, it was up to Dim- bleby to provide much of the picture in words. To prepare for the occasion, the had been boning up on the history of royal weddings for the past five weeks, at his eight- bedroom house in West Susscx, where he lives with his wife, Dilys, three sons, one daughter, six horses, three dogs, 30 chick- ens, and 52 white fan-tailed pigeons. He has also called on the Archbishop oft Canterbury, the Dean of the Abbey (to pace out the entire ceremony), and the Brigade Major (lor a brief- ing on the route of march). "The secret of an able com- mentator," says Dimbleby, "is to possess a good deal of background so that it anything goes wrong on a show, he needn't flannel -- that's an old RAF term for spout- ing guff." Dimbleby's reverential, faint- iy old-maidish approach to royal doings has irritated a good many who sometimes refer to him as "Dick Bumbleby." But there is no denying his place in broad- casting history. Son of a Thames Valley newspaper publisher, he got into radio work in 1936, and has covered 2verything from the Spanish civil war to the D-Day invasions. "I've been Britain's No. 1 commentator for twenty vears," says Dimbleby without a trace of modesty. "There is no doubt," one BBC producer says, 'that he regards himself as the voice of Britain He doesn't even nip up. on the 8:20 like the rest of the press. He appears in his Rolls-Royce-- driven by a chauffeur in full livery." From NEWSWEEK How Her Majesty Holds An Investiture Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes when the Queen holds an investiture? The investiture ceremonies take place in the Grand Hall at Buckingham Palace and are in- variably miracles of smooth run- ning. The Queen stands hatless and gloveless and at her side on the red-carpeted dais stands the Lord Chamberlain who reads cut one by one the names of those to be honoured. A line of men and women begin to move forward to receive their decora- tions. The Queen carefully pins on each award, smiles at the reci- pient, talks for a few seconds and then shakes hands with him or her. How does she manage to do this pinning on o! the order or decoration without fumbling? "Shortly before those to be de- corated enter the Grand Hall they are conducted to an ante- room where a tiny, hook-shaped brooch is pinned on to the breast or coat lapel," we were told. "This means that the Queen simply has to slip the medal on to the hook." One man who attended an in- vestiture in 1953 said: "There was so much to absorb -- gold mirrors, chandeliers, tapestries, carpets -- that few present no- ticed that a vice-admiral, among others, showed them to their seats before the investiture be- gan. "We were tactfully briefed on our roles before we entered the Grand Hall. "An official gently reminded us that people had unfortunately applauded at one investiture in the past, adding that he knew this would not happen today." SOUND DROWNS OUT PAIN -- Madeline Coubre blissfully undergoes work on her teeth at a dental convention, Secret "of the work Is in the earphones and the control box in her hands.

Instead of feeling pain, Madeline heard a waterfall, Night Descends On The Isle Of Skye ¥ew bird voices are heard upon the hills of Skye, and Beinn, na Cailliche was a silent place when, one sunlit mid-summer evening, a companion and I climbed it. The north wind had cleared away the haze, and hill and sea were brilliant, Southward, Ben More of Mull and its attendant peaks seemed close at hand. Upon Ben Nevis, rising far to the east, the snows glistened-- for upon it alone among all the hills the winter mantle of white remained. From brilliant white the light of the sun paled through orange to deep rose colour as we climbed, and each minute Beinn na Cailliche cast a more tremendous shadow over hill, glen and sea to the east. The sudden view of the Cuillin from the crest of Beinn na Cail- liche is always a striking one, but tonight, as we looked across to the Black Cuillin a few min- utes before sunset, there was such beauty upon this great range that the hills might well have been part of a fairy coun- try. . . . The north-western sky was full of colour, In calm beauty the Outer Isles lay. In the sink- ing sun Harris and Benbecula glowed: a sea of mist that filled the Minch was so ethereal that it was impossible to define its boundary.

Pulsating and quivering, the sun sank ever lower, and in the path of its orb the western country about Loch Bracadale glowed in an aerial bath of amethyst, of a wonder- ful beauty that could be painted - IT'S ALL OVER -- Actress Llu- cille Ball sits in court at Santa Monica, Calif.,, where she ob- tained a default divorce from her bandleader husband, Desl Arnaz. Miss Ball testified that her life had, been a "night- mare" for the past three years. by no artist's brush or writer's pen. At last at 10.15, the sun was gone, and the clouds alone were in its rays, An hour after sunset the west- ern horizon was aglow. Against a radiant background bars of cloud floated. . . As dusk rested upon the hill- top the beacons of the ocean one by one appeared, and the lamps of the stars were lit in the silences of limitless space. How inspiring it was to lie beside the cairn of Beinn no Calliche, and see, of a sudden, the three flashes of light from Hyskelir, which lies beyond Canna. As the dusk deepened, it seemed as though a planet shone at inter- vals on the far western horizon across the shoulder of Gars Bheinn., This, however, was no planet, but the powerful far- distant light upon Barra Head sending out its message to ships at* sea. Then appeared lesser lights--the beacon upon Eigg, the great lamp at the Kyleakin nart- rows, the row of twinkling lights that guard Mallaig. Northward the strong after- glow for long hid the light- houses because of its own bril- liance, but at length came six short stabs of light, sending sea- ward the message of Rudha Reidh, the guardian of all ves- sels that sail the Minch. Last of all showed the slow-revolving lamp of Rona and, floating in the air, the light from Tiumpan Head in the Lewes.--From "The Charm of Skye the Winged Isle," by Seton Gordon. Q.

JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY -- Looking like & every othors dream of a baby picture, a Belglan prince makes his camera debut. Meet Prince Philippe-leopold Louis-Marie, the son of Belgium's Prince Albert and ltaly's Princess Paola, : HRONICLES "GINGER FARM by Gaendoling bP. Clarke Have you noticed ... the weekend invariably brings about a period of quick weather changes? I often write this col- umn in the rough on a Saturday one if I mention the weather on Saturday by Monday I have to revise what I have written, This seems to be another of those weekends. As I write it is May 1. Yesterday was bleak and showery; today promises to be much the same but tomorrow the "probs" are for warmer weather, And so it goes . . . work days and school days bright, * pleasant weather; off days, for parents and children, cold, windy or wet, upsetting so mahy plans for painting, garden- ing or a family outing. I wonder why it should be so. Is it a Nemesis for short working hours and the five-day week? If I remember rightly years ago when most people were working much longer hours, six days a week, Sundays were nearly al- ways fine and bright. Of course I have no statistics to prove. It may be only in my imagination that the weather pattern has changed. So much for that. Now here's another topic for, your consid- eration. Overweight -- and the problems in connection with re- ducing. Remember about six weeks ago I was wondering how to take off about ten pounds of surplus? I knew it wasn't going to be easy because I am not a big eater. But I've done it -- re- duced 12 pounds to be exact. How? Well, I'll tell you -- it may help some one else. First of all I started eating less of ev- erything. That didn't work. 1 didn't lose an ounce. My doctor hadn't put me on a diet. When I ask him how to lose weight he just said -- "Use your head!" So that's what I finally did. 1 realized the trouble lay in what I was eating -- not the amount. Of course reducing has its dis- advantages. Last fall I bought a new box-type suit. I wore ft the other day and found it a bit baggy. But I really don't mind, It isn't much of a problem to deal with garments that are too big. A tuck here and a pleat there, buttons moved in about an inch and there you have it. But it clothes are too small -- that's another story. You can't add on what isn't there. Another dis- advantage Is the meals them- selves. It takes more fussing to prepare a properly balanced meal than it does to put up something new and fancy. Incidentally just in case you are wondering how Partner fits in with this low calorie diet let me assure you he manages very well. He also was getting a little on the heavy side so he too is glad to take oft a few pounds. Of course he is more active than I so his calorie count is quite a bit higher. Actually his only concession to dieting is to eat less sweet stuff. . And. that is quite a concession because al- though Partner is a heavy smok- er (pipey he still has quite a sweet tooth. Mrs, McR. . . . Thank you so much for your letter. I am de- lighted your mother finds the needle-threader such a help. She "must be a wonderful old lady. First of all I put, down an average day's intake of food and then compared each item with its calorie content, The result was 1280 to 1500 calories 1 Ten to - knew that on a reducing diet the' number of calories should be 1000 calories -- unless one was working hard. With a calorie chart as my guide I soon found where my diet was wrong. I got all the information from a splen- did book I got from the public library -- 'Stay Slim for Life" by Ida Jean Kain. I cut my bread consumption down to three thin slices of vilmain bread a day. Substituted clear or vege- table soup for cream soup; used less orange juice and more to- mato juice. Less butter, sugar and whole milk. More lean meat, fish, vegetables, salads, skim milk and cottage cheese. No mid-morning snacks but I do al- low myelf a cup of tea and a plain cookie in the afternoon, also a glass of warm skim milk and an unsalted cracker at bed- time. The loss in weight on that diet has not been spectacular but it has been steady. 1 say "diet" for want of a better word. Actually I eat practically any- thing I fancy within reason just NO CAP? -- Kathy Helnz lin- gers meditatively on the edge of a pool. The hat's not for swimming. so long-as I keep track of the calories -- about 900 a day. I also take one vitamin capsule a day. And here is something I no- ticed, Because it was not a star- vation diet I was not conscious of any discomfort. For four - weeks I wasn't even hungry. But just lately, while not exactly suffering any pangs, I am glad when its time for another meal. I account for it this way. For the first few weeks my digestive system was using an accumu- lated surplus. Now that has been reduced -- the battle of the bulge almost won -- my bodily requirements are now dependent tipon the daily intake of food. So I naturally am inclined to get hungry, And I must say I feel much better -- no heartburn, indigestion or any other discom- fort -- but a lot more energy. Why not with 12 pounds less to carry around. Gold -- The Age-Old King Of Metals Men's hunger for gold has never ceased: in search of it, ns the Elder Pliny wrote with all the sententiousness at his com. mand, they explore every vein in the earth, and dwell upon her hollowed frame; and from the carliest times it has achieved a place in their economic history which (as has been well said) is cut of all proportion to the as- sistance it has given in their struggle against Nature. What, then, is the force of its . appeal? It is possible to list some 150 substances which at various times and in various parts of ithe world have been invested 'with some universality of value, almost equally divided betwéen the animal, the vegetable and the mineral. Of the minerals, some (like copper and iron and lead and tin) have always been prized for, their practical utility. Silver, too, has always been prized, but for its decorative quality; and it is this same qual- ity which has always in the past made gold the king of metals in nearly all places where know- ledge of it has penetrated. For gold js much more scarce than silver, and it is a curious fact that, though it has been always available, the quantity in which it has been produced had always lagged behind the unlversal de- mand for it: even today, when output Is immeasurably higher than in any previous century, it is still perfectly true to say that the demand is much greater than the supply. Nevertheless, relative scarcity is not the only reason for an age-long hunger which has some- times amounted to a passion. Scarcity must be combined with positive beauty before it can ex- ert such overwhelming attrac- tion; and it is the positive beauty of gold, allied to the compara- tive ease with which it can be worked, which in past ages has given it a unlque position. -- From "Gold," by C. H. V. Suth- erland. Meet Papa Sportswriter Tom Meany re- cords a curious summit meeting in his New book, "The Yankee Story": The day Yogi Berra first met Ernest Hemingway.
