Canada's fastest-growing town this week is the Saskatchewan farm hamlet of Smiley, 300 miles northwest of Regina. Smiley's meager population has more than tripled, from 105 to 350, in the past four months. Roomers are bedded down on cots in the corridors of the town's only hotel. New streets have been laid out, lined with tar-paper shacks and auto trailers. A third classroom will be opened this week for the winter term in the Smiley schoolhouse...

...Vivat Regina Elizabetha! Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!" shouted the Queen's Westminster Scholars as the Queen walked up the aisle, her long, crimson train borne by six maids of honor. At a faldstool on the left of the altar, the Queen knelt and prayed alone. Silently she rose and stood before the altar, facing first east, then south, west and north, to show herself to the people.
