Queen Talks To Three Survivors Of Rail Tragedy

AUXAND. N. 2.. (OP) - The Queen made a , l sympathy visit today to three of me sur-

vivors of New zealand's Christmas M4

We railway disaster.

She went to the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leman to talk to Mr. and Mrs. P. Fallon and their 11-year-old daughter. The Fellons. from Christchurch. were on their way to visit the Lemans for Christmas and their silver wedding anniversary when the Wellington-Auckland express plunged into I. gorge, killing at least 166 persons.

The Queen spoke to the three for eight minutes.

The Queen Sorrows

The monarch was deeply sed- dened by the disaster which came as New Zealanders prepared for the double celebration of Christmas and the visit of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

In her traditional Christmas broadcast to the Commonwealth, the Queen added these words at the end of her prepared text, and her voice wavered as she spoke:

". . . I know there is no one in New Zealand and indeed throughout the Commonwealth who will not join with my husband and me in sending those who mourn a message of sympathy in their loss.

I pray that they and all who have

been injured may be comforted and strengthened."

Re-Dedicates Self

In her vowed to give herself heart and Ioul to furthering the Common- veslui ideal-"an equal partner- rhip of nations and races.”

The Queen and the Duke spent

Jhristmas with their host, Gover- nor-General Sir Willoughby Norrie, and attended divine service at St. Marys Cathedral. where prayers vere said for the wreck victims.

During the day the royal parents poke by radio-telephone to Prince Charles and Princess Anne. who spent Christmas at Sandringham, Eng. with Queen Mother Eliza- oeth.

TORDNIO (OP) - Perhaps the Hoeediest success story on Cam- dian television is that of 11-year. old Marlon Clarke, of Pugwash N. s., who bids to become known' as a lovely, alert mistress of core- monies.

she had just made e brief ap- pesrence on a program carried by the CBO television network from Toronto when a long distance tele- phone call from Ottawa brought the advice: "Don't let that girl get out of the studio."

The caller was Ernest Bushnell. assistant general manager of the CBC and co-ordinator of CEO tele- vision, one of many who were im- mediately impressed by Marion's personality.

WHEN SHOULD THE RETARDED CHILD IE'PIlAOlD IN AN INSTITUTIONS? .I...

I have writwn bias of exam- ining the boys of a reform school several that could be hel by physical and surgical me hods, Later I examined the boys of a school for mental defectives but was unable to suggest any phy- sical or mental methods of helping any of them However. I was struck with the b iness" ond content- ment of these defectives as they at- tended regular school classes. play- ed group games. and greatly enjoy- ed singing together.

A little later I tried to enter a backward child in this institution and found that this and similar in- stitutions had long waiting lists. Apparently. despite the great of- forts of municipalities to help backward children, there are still long waiting lists.

Recently in the American Jour- nal of Mental Deficiency (Albany. N. Y.) Dr. D. H. Jolly asks the ques- tion "When should a retarded child be placed in a.n institution?”

It is only natural that the par- ents of the retarded or backward child love the child even more be- cause of its disability and try to look after it at home with great care, but the time arrives when keeping the child at home, not per-

Marion had been selected by a national magazine from 400 entries in a. contest for girls who wanted help with grooming problems. She is a tall. outspoken brunette with political ambitions.

After arrival in Toronto, maga- zine photographers took pictures for a spring issue: she was enter- tained, given new clothes and a new hair-do.

The guest appearance on TV was an unexpected item in the pro- gram.

"It just can't be me," she said in an interview afterwards. "These things don't happen."

The above wedding was solemn- lzed at Sturgeon United Church on Nov. 14 when Shirley Inez. youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lavers of Sturgeon. P.E.1., was united in marriage by Rev. W. A. Patterson to Preston William, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Jsok- scn of Peters Road, P.E.I.

The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a gown of white satin and lace. Her veil was three-quarter length, held by a pearl trimmed tiara. She carried

a bouquet of roses.

Her bridesmaid was her cousin Grace Collinge. who was attired in a deep pink govm of taffeta and net. She also carried roses.

The groom was supported by his brother Murray. Mr. Harry Lav- era and Mr. Oharles Macbean act- ed as ushers.

The bride and groom took a honeymoon trip through New Brunswick visiting the bride's sla- ters in Saint John and Frederic- ton. For travelling she wore a light navy suit with white accessories.

mitting him to get the instruction, discipline and fellowship of other equally handicapped children. is not fair to the child and his future life.

Dr. Jolly states that during the past 15 years there has been a general trend for physicians to plsoe the backward child in an institution at an earlier age. Thus. first admissions before the age of five have almost tripled. However, it has been economically impossible to provide cribs or beds at the rate den-landed, Ccnsequenvtly, long wait- ing lists halve been built up in most institutions.

Ion satisfactory results this day. stick to a prearranged schedule of activity. And. in planning your program, concentrate on the usen- tials. Don't oonoarn yourself with trivia and. don't let minor disturb- ances annoy you. There is a stronz possibility that. quito suddenly. a great burden may be lifted from your shoulders.

The evening hours are auspicious for plans dealing with entertain- ment and the extension of hoopl- tality. The next two days give pro- mise of lively activity shared with friends and relatives, so get neces- sary tasks out of the way quickly and prepare for a. period of relax- ation. enjoyment and stimulating diversion.

For the Birthday

If tomorrow is your birthday, you may look ahead to an unusually lively and stimulating year. Two factors are responsible - your per- sonal vibrations which. for the next few months. augur well for ambi- tion. initiative and high purpose. plus aspects which indicate the favor of persons of influence.

Financial trends are better than they have been for some lime past and you may. quite unexpectedly. find a way to reduce expenses. Thus a spirit of enterprise during the period immediately ahead would be backed by both influence and funds. Take advantage of both.

Jack and I have been keeping company for six month: Until I met him I had had few boy frienlh. My parents indulged me in every whim until it came to the most important thing of all. Following is a list of their objections: they claim I'm too young and emotionally immature to know my own mind; that I don't know the dlffaence between love and fascination: that an extra adjustment must be made”in a mixed marriage; that I'm making too great a sacrifice in converting to Jack's religion. particularly when I don't believe in it; that h'e's not as well educated as I am. 199338 with I "iblllth-Eu?" jargon. ignores his widowed mother. hates his job and doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. isn't trained for any special work, likes to drink once in a while and can't give me the material things Pvc been accustomed to. Even thouah all this is rilhl. Whioh I admit it is, I still love Jack. Doesn't that count with parents?

. DEEP-BOOTED OBBTINACY

ANSWER: Your parents should have started interfering long ago. After indulging your every whim for so long. they led you to believe life would always be easy and you were robbed of all capacity for making decisions. when you were faced with a problem, you pm- ceeded to take the wrong turn. Your folks are absolutely right in their stand on marriage to Jack. While some of the factors you outline in your letter are not bstacles.in themselves. the overall picture certainly marks your choice as a bad bet for a husband. Your stubbomnem is so deep-rooted that you won't admit the error until a few years of ms- erable married life force the conclusion upon you. How a man of 23 who won't hold a job. treats his mother contemptibly while she sup- ports him. isn't interested in improving his manners or speech, and likes to drink. can be expected to become a dependable family-head is a myetery. In fact. you both need quite a bit of growing up. And. in- cidentally. you're doing no one a favor by embracing a religion in which you don't believe.

DEAR MISS DIX: I'm in love with Paul. who is 26. and he, in turn, is in love with a girl whom he met while serving overseas. He knows he cant get back to her. but can't seem to forget her. I'm the only girl he goes with here. If I have patience. do you think he'll learn to love me? I am married now, but expect my divorce in a few months; I'm saving

for it. Mildred ANSWER: Better save for two divorces. Youlll probably win Paul yet. and as a matrimonial prospect he laws the virtue of permanency. I very much doubt if marriage with him would be succemful. ,
