She performed her duties and made many sacrifices for her people during World War II. Once before, in 1939, when the world was on the verge of war, she and her husband, then King George VI, visited the United States. Since that time, the Queen Mother has lost her husband and seen her daughter be- come Queen. It ean rightfully be said of the Queen Mother that she has conducted her life in such a way as to have re- mained an example to her people. She has gracefully as- sumed the role of Queen Mother, even though she is not yet an old woman, and has been very active in many ways since the death of King George VI. Although we think monarchies are on the way out in this world of ours, we believe the British ruling family. | comes perhaps closer to performing a service and fulfill- ing a need of their people than any other ruling family of a major power. And though we believe monarchies us- ually are not worth their cost, to the taxpayers, in this | case of the Royal Family in Great Britain, we believe their members earn their keep, even to the extent of eighty Pieces of luggage, including five-foot high trunks, brought over to the United States on this recent trip. | Having once spoken briefly with the Queen Mother and her daughter, we can attest to the fact that she is | a normal woman, as gracious as one could expect and | certainly a possessor of the common touch. The people | of the United States, no doubt have a high regard for the | elder Elizabeth and welcome her once again to the United States. — | TWO CRUISERS AND ONE YACHT President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who scrapped the Williamsburg as a presidential yacht, is to be given the’ use of two cruisers instead. The ninety-two foot cruiser named the Barbara Anne is said to be ready for presiden- tial use at this time. ; It was rebuilt and refurnished at Annapolis recently, amidst much secrecy. Although the Barbara Anne — the name being given the boat in honor of one of the Presi- dent’s granddaughters — will not take place of the much larger Williamsburg, it and another cruiser which is also elaborately refinished, will provide the President with a luxurious mode of water transportation. The Barbara Anne is expected to be available to the President when he wants to rake a cruise. The Barbara Anne’s sister cruiser, expected to be known as the Susie K. after the President's other granddaughter, was — like the Barbara Anne — an escort cruiser for the Williams- burg. So it seems that the Navy has won a battle after all, in putting the Chief Executive on the waves in his special sea-going boats. The primary difference between the two cruisers’ accommodations and the Williamsburg is that the cruisers will not be overnight boats. But the President, who called the Williamsburg too rich for his blood, has apparently decided that there is something to the idea of presidential | yachts after all. Crossword Puzzle ACROSS = 0.

Miss Curran has nobly brought to light the talent | and good will of honest people who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to display it.
