CHARLOTTETOWN

It rained on June 14 in Char- lottetown in 1939-and t times it came down in somethin more than gentle showers. The King and Queen were here that day. but somehow the rain didn't seem to matter. Children in thousands were assembled in the city, lining the streets. occupying every vant- age point they could lind-but they paid no attention to the rain.

Nor did it dismay Their Royal l-lighncsses, who appeared oblivious to the frequent downpour: as they waved and smiled at the cheering delighted crowds who thronged the streets. .

Nothing in fact, could dampen the ardor oi' the countless loyal subjects of Their. Majestles. who had come from all parts of the Island. some leaving tiieir homes the day before and others betore dawn.-and a shipload of two hun- dred trom Sydney-in order to ar- rive in time to extend a joyous welcome to the Royal couple.

Their Majesties landed at the Marine Wharf, alter crossing the Northumberland Strait aboard H. M.C.S. sagueiiay. There they were greeted by the Lieutenant Gover- nor, Hon. George D. DeBlois and Mrs. DeBlois. the Premier, Hon. Thane A. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell. the Mayor oi Cliarlotte- town. Mr. E. A. Foster and Mrs. Foster. and the District Oliicer Commanding. On the dock, the King inspected the guard of hon- our, formed by the Prince Edward Island Higlilaiiders.

Their tour then took them to the Provincial Building. Among the lprocecdings there was the presen- ;iaiion of a bouquet of iloiiers to iihe Queen by Miss Vinzinia Camp- lbell. (laughter of the then Premier of the province.

The members of the Government land their wives were presented. land an illuminated address was given to the King and Queen, of which the most remarkable feat- Fnrc was its case-woven of native cicen and white sweet grass by n lliciiiac Indian nl Lonnox Island. l While at the Provincial Buildiniz

Descending from the balcony, they Esiopped to shake hands and chat iwiih a group or disabled veterans. i From the Legislature the Royal loiiioiiragc moved on 'to the lunch- lt'tlll at Government House. The menu consisted of lobster cocktail. ii:i-tie soup. brook trout. chlckcii iaiarl. cakes and collee. and it is rccallcd that the King and Queen aiipcaiicd to enjoy it thoroughly.

l Paul de Marky was the pianist privileged to play during the luncheon. Included among the lE.t'lCCIiOl1S played was a compo. siiioii by William Keith Rogers of Cliarlotictoivii. It is interesting in .i:nic that Mr. Rogers himsclt will
