When the royal. standard floats above Buckingham Palace London- ers know that the King t; at home, but the grey stone walla con- ceal the activity that is His MI-jtl- ty's daily routine. For the King is as busy as any high-powered exec- utive. He rises at 7.30. has a sim- ple breakfast alone. then walks into his "business room" where he unlocks the red-leather dispatch boxes and settles down to read.

81a papers may include a leuot report from a. British ambassador, a memorandum on the miners’ re- action n; nationalization of tile l-oaifields and a survey of Brit- nilfs ncw satellite town plan. Presently he rings for his secre- tary and the long morning rou- tine i-s under way. It ends before lunch wilm, perhaps. a new am- bassador cc-nles to present his “let- tcrs of credence." a new Bishop to do homage on bended knee before the secular head of the establish- ed church -- or an outgoing Gov- ernor-Cieneroi to have audience and silly to lunch.

o e

Almost every day the King and Queen lunch together. usually with the Princesses and over lunch the family discuss their plans, arrange theatre parties or dances, talk over the coming weekend at the royal lodge and chat of everyday affairs. After lunch the King likes to stroll 1n the palace gardens, sometimes with the Princesses, sometimes alone. Then he returns to his desk until late afternoon. Tea is another family gathering. after which there is usually a final audience the King must give tn the Prime ‘Nliinister, the Foreign Secretary or some other highly placed member of the government.

O O O

Between then and dinner, he sits at his desk tidying up odds and ends. Often it is 7.30 before he has finished -s.nd that means one or all of his three secretaries has to remain on duty. Dinner is at eight and there is just time for the King ‘to bath and dress before joining the Queen and Princesses for what they regard as "the pleasantestuparggngf"the day.

After dinner the royal family re-

lax in easy chairs. the King read-

ing a light book, scanning a pic- ture magazine or doing a crou- word puzzle. the Queen lmftting “rSI-"dfitliii reading or studying. Sunnis an ordinary day at the palace. Often there are public functions to be attended as well.

_ A speaker lrcconlly will his aud- lcncc that the trouble with the ill- dividual and the nation is that tilcy have not learned to control them- selves; that if we all learned self- controi. learned to kncrw oursflves and to deny ourselves. we would be a bcttcr intLvlauai and a better nation. It is this lack of self-con. trol. lack of knowledge oi ourselves and 111's lack of self-denial that maker; many suitor with so-called flulctional diseases. A functional disease is whore there is no organ- ic or bodilycause of the symptoms, the symptoms being caused by an upset mind by emotional disturb- ances.

Anti-social customs and practices which make healthful living diffi- cult for those who try to follow proper living routines. are deplor- ed by Canadian health leaders. As an instance. they point to the situ- ation which arises when young children are allowed to play out- sidc until late hours -—prevenlin,g other youngsters from getting much needed rest.

Declaring that many of man's worst habits-such as late hours --al'c cemented in tllne-llououred custom, the health authorities a- gree that better times won't come until the public approves and practises healthful living routines.
