...last week in Washington after mighty labors. So did Colonel Edward W. Starling. The former as chief of the State Department's Division of Protocol, the latter as chief of the White House detail of Secret Service, are explicitly responsible for the safety of Their Majesties George VI & Elizabeth during their visit to the U. S. this week...

Rest Day. At Banff for one day King George and Queen Elizabeth could relax. Dressed in sports clothes they drove about, peeked at peaks, climbed a small mountain, photographed a deer and a cub bear, took a ride in an old-fashioned buckboard, dined on fresh trout caught by Lord-in-Waiting Lord Eldon, and chatted with correspondents in the evening...

She was director of archeology...

When King George and Queen Elizabeth reached Winnipeg on their tour of Canada (see p. 23), Minnesota would send a delegation to greet them, thereby stealing a march on the other 47 United States and providing the Star with a good promotion stunt. As the Royal Train neared Winnipeg last week the city was jammed with some 15,000 visitors from nearby States; twoscore U. S. bands were on hand to play God Save The King; a squadron of U. S. Army planes from Minneapolis...
