The birthday party, in accord with tradition, will be a family luncheon in the luxurious state dining room of Windsor Castle. Elizabeth" seated on a gilt chair, will preside and h two children, Prince Charles a Princess Anne, will sit with the grownups.

Besides carnations. the Queen's favorites, the Duke is expected to give his wife a. small piece of jewelry but nothing as elaborate as is normally given for public anniversaries.

Any birthday gifts from persons unknown to the Royal Family will, by precedent, be returned to the donors.

Mr. Chevrier was asked in the Commons Monday by Clairie on. lls ICCF-Cope Breton souihi about press reports of a propoggd new subvetition system that will enable the C. N. R. to buy more coal in the Marltlmes. The West. ville mine rccciitly has lost. a large share of its C. N. R. market and was tlircatciiml with closure.

Mr. Chevricr said the Dominion Coal Board and the Board of Transport Commissioner-s' econ. omlcs branch are making a study of the C. N. R's costs of hauling fuel from the mines to cooling points, on which subventlons are based.

"Dependent upon the result of that survey," Mr. Chevrler said "it. may well be that the policy of the C. N. R. with reference to pur- chases of coal will change some- what."
