Later, Her Majesty gave a club group a few homey recollections of last fall's U.S. trip. Sample: when the Queen asked to see the launching of a moon rocket she was told that the request posed difficulties because future visitors might use it as a precedent.

Reading speeches in schoolboy French, Diefenbaker was unable to shake Quebec's traditional suspicion of the Conservatives, whose strength is based in the English culture of neighboring Ontario. But across the provinces, Diefenbaker has pumped new spirit into a party that last won a Canadian federal election in 1930.
