Three H.B. Tennis Championships to Wellingtonian
Most successful competitor at the Hawke’s Bay and Hastings open tennis championships tournament, concluded on the Whitehead Road courts, Hastings, yesterday, was Mrs. T. McGregor, Wellington, Formerly Miss Thyra Smith, Mrs. McGregor is a Nunnelley Casket player and ranks No. 4 in Wellington. She won three Hawke’s Bay titles.
Revealing remarkable positional play, coolness and steadiness, Mrs. McGregor perhaps turned on her outstanding performance in the combined doubles, her third finals match of the day, when partnered with her husband, D McGregor, who subsequently won the men’s plate and also figured in the handicap finals.
T. Withers, Napier, retained both his singles and doubles titles, the latter in combination with J. C. Charters, to provide the only Hawke’s Bay winners in the senior section, the remainder of the titles going to visitors.
The weather held gloriously fine throughout the tournament, which proved one of the most successful held by the Hastings Club. Entries had been good and though the field included only one player of outstanding note in Mrs. McGregor, competition was exceptionally keen.
Final results are as follow: –

Otway Beats Barry for North Island Title
(P.A.) TAURANGA, Jan. 6.
Mark Otway, Auckland, yesterday strengthened claims that he is the leading singles player in New Zealand by defeating J. A. Barry, Wellington, in the final of the North Island tennis championship played at Tauranga yesterday, Otway won 6-3, 6-8, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
The match was played in gruelling heat and lasted two and a-half hours. Play did not reach really great heights but both players at times turned on some startling play. Otway deserved to win because he made fewer mistakes. He had the edge on Barry in serving and smashing and was able to produce a winner more often when it was needed. Barry’s serving was erratic. He double-faulted frequently and his overhead was not up to his usual standard. Nevertheless, there was little between the players.
The final of the women’s doubles was won by Misses P. Nettelton and S. Cox who beat Misses L. Luxton and P. Raines 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. The match was well below North Island championship standard.
The men’s doubles final between R. S. McKenzie and Barry, and Otway and N. V. Edwards was disappointing. Barry and McKenzie won 9-7, 6-4, 6-2. It produced few sustained rallies and all four players made mistakes.

Successful Sports and Concert Staged by Windsor Campers
Once again success attended the now annual camp sports conducted at the Windsor Park motor camp, Hastings. In the morning there were canoe races for over two hours and the afternoon was devoted to running and field events for adults, children and even the tiny tots.
Each child was provided with ice cream and drinks during the afternoon and at the conclusion of the sports each was presented with a bag of sweets and a hand-waver of red, white and blue for use during the Royal visit.
In the early evening prizes were presented and this ceremony was followed by competitions, the gala day concluding with a juvenile concert under the direction of Mr. T. Drake.
Later in the evening a crowd of nearly 3,000 was entertained at an open-air concert compared by Mr. Ken Sparks, organising secretary of Greater Hastings. Included in the performance was a Punch and Judy show, presented by Mr. Eric Mathews, a member of the Kilbirnie Wrestling and Gymnastic Club.

Visiting Performers Compete at Hastings Athletic Meeting
Athletes and cyclists from Auckland and Waikato gave added interest to the weekly meeting of the Hastings Athletic and Cycling Club’s meeting at Nelson Park last night. Early in the evening conditions were ideal, but the heavy dew and insufficient lighting presented problems to competitors later.
Mr. R. Cabot, president, welcomed the visitors, who included Miss Noeline Swinton, Auckland, who holds the New Zealand title and record for the women’s high jump; Murray Jefferies, holder of the New Zealand junior high jump record; and the speedy Waikato runner Dave Fleming.
Other visitors were Aucklanders, Misses Miriam Whisker, Marlene Fisher and Queda Morris, Ian Crum and Tony Hurst; and Max Cooper and Doug Taylor from Waikato. Two Auckland cyclists were Davies and J. Chapman. Another competitor was M. Stevens from Lower Hutt.
Miss Swinton, in difficult conditions, jumped well, but did not overcome her handicap. Neither did M. Jefferies, who cleared 5ft. 8 ½ inches.
There were many close finishes, two of the most exciting being the intermediate boys A grade 80 metres hurdles which was won by S. Jackson from J. Latton and R. Clarke; and the two mile cycle event which was won by E. Tichborne after a great struggle with Auckland’s J. Chapman. Results:

Scotland Yard Inspector Is Guardian of Her Majesty’s Safety
In the pilot car that precedes the Daimler of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh as they travel round New Zealand are two men whose personal responsibility it is to ensure the safety of the Royal couple. Sitting alongside the Commissioner of Police, Mr. E. H. Compton, is a man whose eyes and mind are trained to detect anything that might mean danger for those he is guarding. When the Queen alights this tall, alert, silent man is within a few feet of her.
He is Chief Inspector T. J. Clark, the Queen’s police officer from Scotland Yard, 45 years old and with 24 years of service.
Chief Inspector Clark’s duties do not cease so long as the Queen is travelling until she steps aboard the Gothic when responsibility for her safety passes to the captain. While she is ashore this guardian of her Majesty must ensure not only that no evil-intentioned person is in her vicinity but also that nothing happens that would cause an accident. Chief Inspector Clark possesses authority that far outranks that of any other tour or Royal household official. By a wave of his hand he can stop the tour at any stage if he is concerned about her Majesty’s safety. By the very nature of his job he automatically outranks any other local police official, no matter how high his rank. He can call on local police for any help.
Mr. Clark is a typical policeman and the very nature of his job makes him suspicious of everyone. He has a photographic memory and his quick brain has already identified and retained the appearance of every Royal tour official and accredited Pressman who is ever in the close vicinity of the Queen.
Because his job demands that he be as unobtrusive as possible he conforms to the clothes worn by the Duke as much as possible. He has appeared in New Zealand in morning suit, tails and lounge suits.
Between the Duke and the Queen’s police officer there is an elaborate but apparently innocuous series of hand signals which are called into use if the crowd around them becomes too pressing and is embarrassing the Queen.
At Ellerslie racecourse on Boxing Day, as the Queen passed through a narrow lane which policemen had cordoned off through the crowd, the inspector pointed to a piece of rubbish and made a bystander pick it up. He considered there was a danger that her Majesty might catch her heel and fall.
As the Queen arrived at the St. James Theatre, Auckland, on Boxing Night for the Royal cinema performance, Mr Clark slipped into the foyer of the theatre a few seconds ahead of her Majesty, looked behind the counter of the sweet shop on the ground floor and made a quick but thorough examination of the pot plants and other floral decorations lining the lobby.

SCOUTS ASSEMBLE AT MOTUKARARA FOR JAMBORETTE
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 6.
There was tremendous activity on the Waihora Domain and the Motukarara racecourse yesterday as hundreds of Boy Scouts arrived by special train, by bus and car for the Canterbury Jamborette which will be officially opened this afternoon after the assembly and march past.
The Scouts come from all parts of New Zealand, and there are contingents from Australia, Samoa and Fiji. They will be in camp at Motukarara until January 14.
The Scouts have taken various mementoes to the jamborette, but the one with probably the greatest historical interest is a flag flown at Mafeking by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of scouting. It was the property of a resident of New Brighton and he gave it to the New Brighton Troop.
The camp is divided into sub-camps named Hillary, Upham, Lovelock and Rutherford – names which should appeal to the imagination of your New Zealanders. There are some mementoes of Lord Rutherford and of Jack Lovelock in the possession of scout troops.
Each troop has either a decorated gateway to its site or decorated tents depicting the attractions and resources of its own districts.

He Has Memories of 1901 Royal Visit
The visit of the Queen to Hawke’s Bay has revived memories of her grandparents for Mr J. B. Boyd, Gordon Road, Hastings. In 1901 when King George V and Queen Mary, then the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, arrived in Auckland, Mr Boyd, a police constable, was selected to meet the Royal couple and escort them to Government House.
Later Mr Boyd retired from the force and went into business as a butcher in Hastings in 1907. Subsequently he took up farming in the Sherenden district, retiring recently after 33 years in the industry.
It would take more than a busy, eventful life to make Mr Boyd forget that notable day, June 11, of more than half a century ago. And he is likely to treasure too, the picture of King George V’s granddaughter as she drives through the streets of Hastings on Thursday.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE –
Without Calomel – And You’ll Jump out of Bed in the Mornings Full of Vim.
The liver should pour out two pints of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels. Wind bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, tired and weary and the world looks blue.
Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere bowel movement doesn’t get at the cause. It takes those good old Carter’s Little Liver Pills to get those two pints of bile flowing freely and make you feel “up and up”. Harmless, gentle yet amazing in making bile flow freely.
Ask for CARTER’S Little Liver Pills by name. Stubbornly refuse anything else.

Hawke’s Bay Acclaims The Queen
TODAY the people of Hawke’s Bay acclaim Queen Elizabeth. And Hawke’s Bay, like every other district her Majesty has visited so far during her triumphal progress through the Dominion, is preparing to give demonstrative proof of its loyalty to the Throne and its devotion to a charming and gracious Sovereign. Napier greets the Queen today – and Napier knows how to cheer. Tomorrow Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay will add their voices to the happy tumult of welcome. And when it is all over her Majesty will know beyond any doubt that in no part of her far-flung realms and territories is loyalty more steadfast and affection more sincere than in this corner of New Zealand.
New Zealanders used to have the reputation of being an undemonstrative people. But the Queen’s progress through the North Island has roused our people to unprecedented displays of emotional enthusiasm. Ever since that profoundly stirring moment when she stepped ashore in Auckland – the first reigning Sovereign ever to set foot in this country – her Majesty has enchanted all who have seen her, and excitement at the prospect of greeting her in the familiar setting of our own towns and cities has been steadily mounting all through the country.
Loyalty to the Throne is basic to the New Zealander’s whole way of thinking. The average person in this country feels no need of complex terms to explain this loyalty. He accepts it as a fact which needs no elaborate justification and about which there can be no possible dispute. Loyalty to the crown, he feels, is inseparable from our attachment to the Mother Country. It is a part of the proud heritage brought to this country by our British forebears.
There may be some element of pure mysticism in our reverence for the Crown. For the greater part, however, our loyalty is based on an intuitive understanding of all that the monarchy stands for, not only in the traditional British way of life, but in the wider and more diverse way of life of the Commonwealth and Empire. The Crown is the central unifying force of this whole great family of nations; that is a truth that every one of us knows and comprehends. Yet the Queen’s presence among us has given it new meaning and new significance. Her Majesty has made us feel, as she herself put it in her Christmas broadcast to the Commonwealth and Empire, that the Crown is “not only the symbol of our unity, but a personal and living bond between you and me”.
As the Queen travels among her peoples, the bond is being strengthened. Never before in history, has it been easier to revere the monarchy and at the same time to love and admire the Monarch. By virtue of her great and exalted position alone, her Majesty would be honoured and respected by us all. But, when the attributes of the monarchy are centred in a personality of such simple and unaffected charm, loyalty to the Throne and devotion to the Sovereign become warm, strongly-felt personal emotions.
This is the simple story behind the tumultuous acclaim which has everywhere greeted the Queen on her New Zealand tour. Like those in other districts, the welcoming crowds in Hawke’s Bay will feel deeply moved as they give greeting to her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh. For young and old alike, today and tomorrow will provide many cherished memories. And, as the Queen moves on to other districts, she will leave with us a new and brighter vision of all that the Crown means in our way of life. We shall know that the loyalty to which we have given expression has become stronger and more enduring than ever.
LOCAL & GENERAL
More Grass Fires.
Three grass fires at Waitangi and Taradale have kept the Napier Fire Brigade members occupied since yesterday afternoon. When called to Waitangi this morning, brigadesmen were rather annoyed to find a grass fire there had been started by a Catchment Board employee engaged in rabbit control.
Tunnel Open Early?
Trains should be running through the Rimutaka tunnel by the end of 1955 – six months earlier than was previously expected – if the remaining construction programme goes to schedule. Fast work by the contractors who are driving the 5½ mile tunnel is responsible for the tentative revision in the date of completion of the deviation as a whole. Though the tunnel contract let to Morrison, Knudsen and Downer Ltd., called for completion by the end of July, 1955, less than a mile now remains to be driven, and the contractors are expected to “hole through” by the end of April, unless in the intervening four months they are delayed by bad going.

GISBORNE GIVE THE QUEEN TUMULTUOUS WELCOME
Great Assembly at Reception
(P.A.) GISBORNE Jan. 6.
In blazing sunshine, blue skies and a gusty hot north-westerly wind, the Queen and her Consort came to Gisborne today to a tumultuous welcome from thousands thronging the processional route and the civic reception site.
The wealth of preparation which preceded the visit of her Majesty was justified in the first few moments of her contact with the great assembly at the Intermediate School grounds.
On the dais the Queen presented a picture of youth and loveliness unshadowed by fatigue despite the burden of travel and a multitude of public engagements.
Those who had awaited by the roadsides the passage of her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh from the aerodrome to the civic welcome site had had fascinating glimpses of her quality of womanly charm, but it was at the Intermediate School grounds that people were able to feast their eyes.
Though brief, the Queen’s appearance among her people of Gisborne and the East Coast left memories which will outlast the years.
Over the East Coast the cloud gradually dispersed, and for the last 20 minutes of the flight the Royal tourists could see the brown, sunbaked East Coast hills, the golden beaches and blue skies.
Approaching the aerodrome in the teeth of a gale, the plane encountered a few minutes of bumpy conditions, but the passengers were not discomfited.
During the flight Captain Walker invited the Duke to join the crew in the cockpit. A few minutes later his Royal Highness appeared behind the captain and co-pilot. He leaned over their shoulders to discuss the Heron’s cockpit layout and its similarity with the Dove, with which he was familiar during his flying training.
On taking off from Rotorua in cloudy weather, Captain Walker took the aircraft in a circuit around Lake Rotorua and over the town. Then, at 3,000 feet, the Heron flew over Moose Lodge on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. The Queen and the Duke could obtain only a brief glimpse of their holiday home through a break in the gathering cloud.
Setting a course for the East Coast, Captain Walker took the aircraft up to 6,500 feet to get above the heavy cloud. He apologised to the Queen for his inability to present the countryside in panorama below her. He suggested her Majesty would travel a good deal more comfortably above the cloud.
Approaching the airfield the Royal plane passed low over a rough, white-crested sea and made a perfect landing when gusts of wind were blowing close to their maximum of 40 m.p.h.
Spectators and officials awaiting the Queen’s arrival were braced against the wind as her Majesty alighted, her hair blowing from under her small white hat. Several times she tried to push it back, gave it up, laughed, and contented herself with making sure at least her hat was secure.
The Queen and the Duke were received by Wing Commander L. F. B. Taylor, officer in charge at Gisborne airport for the Royal flight. Before entering their car to drive to Gisborne they paused in the wind to thank Captain Walker and other members of the crew for a “very pleasant flight.”
THE QUEEN REPLIES TO GISBORNE’S LOYAL ADDRESS
(P.A.) Gisborne, Jan. 6.
Her Majesty, in her reply to the loyal address presented by the mayor of Gisborne, Mr. H. H. Barker, at the reception at the Intermediate School shortly after midday today, said: –
Mr Mayor: I am most grateful for the warm welcome which you have given to me and my husband today on behalf of the residents of Gisborne and the surrounding district. Your words of loyalty have warmed my heart and the memory of them will be a source of strength to me through my life.
“I am interested to learn that Gisborne was the first landing-place in New Zealand of that great Englishman, Captain James Cook. Your countryside has indeed an historic association with the early exploration of these coasts. The growth and development of New Zealand is a lasting testimony to the fine work of its early pioneers.
“I deeply appreciate your kind good wishes to us both. We are very pleased to have this opportunity of meeting some of those for whom you speak.”

WOMAN OF 107 TAKES THE HAND OF THE QUEEN
(P.A.) ROTORUA, Jan. 6.
A subject paid homage to her Sovereign and a young Queen showed gracious deference to old age at the Rotorua aerodrome this morning. As her Majesty walked from her car to the aircraft she paused to shake hands with Mrs. Ellen Muriwai whose age is said to be 107.
The old lady, dressed all in black, had been sitting for two hours waiting. She took the Queen’s gloved hand between her hands, pressing it for almost half a minute while she spoke softly a few words to the Queen.
Her Majesty, giving her a beaming smile, made no attempt to draw her hand away, but leaned forward to catch the words.
When the Queen had gone and Mrs. Muriwai, standing at the edge of the tarmac, had watched the aircraft climb away from the field, her eyes were filled with tears at the sharp memory of her half-minute with the Queen.
THOUSANDS MAKE GISBORNE A SQUATTERS’ TOWN
(P.A.) GISBORNE, Jan. 6.
Early-morning Gisborne streets were a squatters’ town. On the verges of the rope-lined avenue in Gladstone Road, the Royal processional route, they came in thousands with boxes, car seats, chairs, picnic baskets and thermos flasks – in Sunday best and beach wear.
Earliest arrivals at the choice vantage spot opposite the Masonic Hotel were a Whatatutu family. With them were their two small children curled up in rugs and blankets. They parked their car on the riverbank for the night.
At the Intermediate School grounds the first squatters arrived at 4 a.m. and secured seats directly in front of the dais.
The Waikanae motor camp was packed to the walls at an early hour today. Holidaymakers from all over the Dominion had poured in yesterday and until late at night.

To her Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
Yours is the crown of gold, Elizabeth,
Symbol of power, of pomp, and noble birth:
O may it not lie heavily on your youth,
Nor shade your beauty with its ponderous worth!
But let it be for you a crown of Love,
Granted by grateful hearts for gracious ways;
And by your own sweet kindness it will prove
A crown of Joy, to bless you all your days.
With hearts that know, like yours, the sting of death;
And pang of grief, we pray for wars to cease:
God grant through coming years, Elizabeth,
That you may wear the blessed crown of Peace
– Willow Macky.
AERIAL WELCOME SIGN FOR QUEEN
(P.A.) GISBORNE, Jan. 6.
One of the most colourful welcoming signs which greeted the Queen and Duke in Gisborne today was hoisted at 3 a.m. by a Te Hapara resident.
Peering into the darkness above he lugged gently on a series of guy-wires 300 feet above him a cluster of red and white gas-filled balloons. When morning light came they made a brave show, gaily bobbing in the light wind.
The balloons trailed a tail of two letters “E. R.” behind them – a colourful and lighthearted tribute to the Queen.

Rest at Lake Ends: Royal Couple Resume Busy Tour
(P.A.) ROTORUA, Jan. 6.
All eyes in Rotorua turned skyward this morning as the gleaming Heron aircraft carrying the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to Gisborne circled over the town before flying away to the east.
Punctually at 10.57 the Queen and the Duke entered the aircraft. The doors were closed and the Royal Standard broken above the cabin. The plane then taxied to the southern end of the aerodrome and took off into a strong wind.
The three days of rest and relaxation for the Royal couple at Moose Lodge was over, and once again waiting for them at the end of this flight was a round of civic receptions, lunches and ceremonial drives.
Long before the Queen and the Duke arrived, the Royal aircraft was standing ready at the edge of the tarmac in front the NAC office. Nearby were police and security officers, Pressmen and officials.
The drive from the aerodrome gates had been lined with plants in green-painted tubs, and overhead, bulging in the wind, were yellow banners with green motifs painted on them. Placed in readiness was a long strip of coconut matting on to which the Queen would step from her car and walk on to the tarmac.
Waiting to make their farewells were the Minister of Labour and Member for the Bay of Plenty, the Hon. W. Sullivan, and Mrs. Sullivan; the private secretary to the Minister of Maori Affairs, Mr. John Grace; and the chairman of NAC, Sir Leonard Isitt, and the general manager, Group Captain J. J. Busch.
At 10.30 the mayor, Mr. A.M. Linton, and Mrs. Linton and the town clerk, Mr. L.J. Wright arrived, and they were closely followed by the Prime Minister, Mr. Holland, and Mrs. Holland, who were to accompany the Royal couple in the plane.
As the time for the Royal arrival drew nearer, the guard of ATC cadets lining the drive prepared to come smartly to attention. The hostess, Miss Audrey Winefield, carrying a small case marked “official party” boarded the plane and the Prime Minister, Sir Leonard Isitt and Group Captain Busch stood ready to receive the Queen immediately she alighted.
Soon the waves of cheering heralded the approach of the Royal car and the Royal Standard could be seen fluttering above the heads of the crowd as the Daimler slowed to make the turn into the aerodrome.
The hood of the car was folded back and the Queen and the Duke smilingly acknowledged the cheers.
The Queen, looking radiant and much more rested than she did on her previous visit to Rotorua, was wearing a yellow self-striped nylon frock with a matching close-fitting feathered hat and white gloves, shoes and handbag. The Duke wore a grey lounge suit and a brown hat.
After greeting the Prime Minister, Sir Leonard and Group Captain Busch, her Majesty walked along the carpet to where Mrs. Ellen Muriwai was presented to her, and then she shook hands and chatted to Mr and Mrs Sullivan, the mayor and mayoress, and the town clerk.
She had enjoyed her stay in Rotorua, her Majesty told them. It had been a “lovely time”. She had obviously been impressed with the display put on by Pohutu geyser at Whakarewarewa, which she said had been “made to order”.
Although the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh remained at Moose Lodge during Monday and yesterday, members of the Household, other officials and visiting Pressmen scattered like sand over the countryside in small, informal groups taking full advantage of the opportunity for sport and sightseeing.
Paradise Valley was visited by Sir Michael Adeane, the Queen’s private secretary; Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Martin Charteris, assistant private secretary to the Queen; and Commander Richard Colville, the Queen’s Press secretary.
Lady Pamela Mountbatten, Lady-in-Waiting, and Lieutenant Commander Michael Parker, the Duke’s private secretary, enjoyed water skiing on Okataina, while Lady Alice Egerton, Lady-in-Waiting, Surgeon-Commander D. D. Steele-Perkins, medical officer to the Royal Household, and Sir Michael Adeane fished at Tarawera. Lady Alice landed a 5½ lb trout.

To mark the memorable occasion of the arrival of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Hawke’s Bay, the Herald-Tribune today devotes its front page to a composite picture associating her Majesty with Napier and Hastings. The view of Napier is that presented to members of the Royal party as their aeroplane sweeps in from Gisborne. Beyond in the distance stretch the rich alluvial plains, the source of Hawke’s Bay’s prosperity. The clock-tower is shaded into the picture as the central architectural feature of Hastings. The photographs and montage are the work of Mr. Russell Orr, Press and general photographer, Karamu Road, Hastings.

Royal Command Shearing Display in Napier Today
The world’s two best sheep shearers, the brothers Ivan and Godfrey Bowen, are to give a Royal Command performance at Napier today. When the command was made known to them, Ivan was on holiday at Matamata, and Godfrey at Manurewa. They hurriedly dashed off to Hawke’s Bay.
The Queen saw the brothers in action at Hamilton, but the Duke was absent at the funeral of the victims of the Tangiwai rail smash. The Queen was so impressed that she said it was a pity the Duke had missed the performance.
Ivan, at Ruatoria, recently clipped 457 sheep in nine hours, which beat by one sheep the world record set by Godfrey.
“I would not miss this opportunity for worlds,” said Ivan before leaving Matamata. “It was a great thrill to shear sheep before the Queen – and now I am getting a second chance.”
In a speed demonstration before the Queen in Hamilton, the brothers clipped two sheep each in 2min. 12sec. Her majesty watched entranced and later remarked to Mr. T. A. Devine, the Waikato A. and P. Association president, that the Duke would be disappointed to know he had missed such a fine exhibition. Godfrey said later; “it was an honour to shear before her, not only for us but also for the great industry we represent.”

HAWKE’S BAY AWAITS THE QUEEN
THOUSANDS ASSEMBLE IN NAPIER
Stage Set for Memorable Occasion
HASTINGS VISIT TOMORROW
The Queen arrives in Hawke’s Bay today. Late this afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by her husband, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, will step out of a plane at Westshore aerodrome and set foot on Hawke’s Bay soil to begin a 24-hour visit to the province.
For months the people of town and country have been planning for the Royal visit, the first ever made by a reigning monarch, and the great moment of acclaiming our Sovereign is at hand. All that remains now is to make their all-too-brief visit a memorable one.
The setting has been provided for yet another tumultuous welcome. All the streets and buildings of the principal centres along the Royal route have been bedecked with bunting, and from the remotest parts of the province the people will be assembling in their many thousands to catch glimpses of their Queen, and her husband.
Adding materially to the warmth of that welcome will be the thousands of children who are to have pride of place in the assemblages along the Royal route. Lusty cheering and hearty waving of flags is assured in their greetings.
Principal official features of the plans for the Royal visit include:
The civic reception at McLean Park, Napier this afternoon.
The ceremonial drive, highlighted by a public welcome at the Civic Square, through the streets of Hastings tomorrow morning.
Boarding the Royal train for the first time on the New Zealand tour for the journey south through the province tomorrow afternoon.
Public welcomes at the main railway stations en route.
There will be an overnight stay in Napier, and it is hoped that her Majesty will make at least one appearance on the balcony of the Masonic Hotel during the evening.
Two private engagements, offering a “break” to the Royal visitors will be the Duke’s attendance this evening at a cocktail party arranged by the Hawke’s Bay Ex-Naval Officers’ Association at the Hawke’s Bay Art Gallery in Napier; and the hour’s visit by the Queen and the Duke to Wattie’s Canneries in Hastings where they will have morning-tea tomorrow.
What Party Will See on Drive Into Hastings
Though the 30-minute drive between Napier and Hastings by the Royal Visitors tomorrow morning will be through more or less open country and free of all vehicular traffic, there will be much to interest the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as other members of the Royal party to whom this short journey is not familiar.
As the Royal procession of cars leaves the Napier boundary and the Marine Parade there will be many groups of people assembled en route. On the left will be the open sea.
On the right the Royal visitors will have a glimpse of the Napier Boys’ High School with its picturesque sea-front setting.
Leaving the concrete-surfaced highway and on the bitumen surface the procession will pass the Marenui Golf Links, with its attractively laid-out entrance and greens.
Then passing the Awatoto railway siding and the industrial area another striking long-range view is afforded of the Bay and Cape Kidnappers, where is situated the world-famed gannet sanctuary, jutting out into the ocean.
The departure from the Awatoto industrial area will be noted on the right by the many spacious and massive partly-constructed buildings that will go to make up the fertiliser works, destined to be perhaps one of the biggest industrial undertakings in the district.
Two modernly-constructed concrete bridges over the Tuetaekuri River and the Waitangi Washout, vital points in flood times, will be crossed as the procession begins to move inland to Clive.
As the procession approaches the Kohupatiki-Pakowhai turn off the Royal visitors will be greeted with a view of the as yet unveiled war memorial entrance to Farndon Park with the Union Jack proudly flying at mast top in the centre to two recently laid-out garden plots. In the background is the Farndon Park camp.
Approaching the Ngaruroro River bridge they will be greeted by a massive sign “Clive Welcomes You.” A glance to the right before reaching the bridge, the age of which incidentally will be concealed by masses of bunting and greenery will provide a glimpse of the new bridge now under construction – spanning halfway across the river.
As the Royal visitors pass over the bridge and turn into Clive they will see a huge crown flanked on either side by masses of flowers and decorations woven into wire netting. In the township itself both sides of the highway will be lined by residents and settlers, the school children occupying a prominent position in the shopping area, and then near the town hall will be stationed the elderly people and invalids.
Having slowed down to almost ceremonial drive pace through the township, the Royal procession will gather speed again and continue on to Hastings, passing typical roadside fruit stalls with their signs flaunting their products – seasonal fruits and vegetables – thus affording the Royal visitors an indication of the productivity of the district.
Only a long-range view will be afforded of the Whakatu freezing works, marking yet another of the district’s primary industrial undertakings, and the procession will travel along the straight stretch leading to Mangateretere, where there will be another assemblage of people in the vicinity of the school.
Before veering to the right there will be a glimpse of the road to Havelock North, and then the procession will come to one of the most beautiful spots on the highway between the two towns – the tree-lined Karamu Bridge.
The party will then pass the Soldiers’ Settlement on the left, Karamu Settlement, and then the historic Waipatu Pa, where will be assembled a welcoming party of Maoris in front of their marae, the central feature of which is a small, but well-developed kauri tree, claimed to be the most southerly growing kauri tree.
Leaving the Maori settlement area and veering slightly to the left a good passing view will be provided of the beautiful parklike Tomoana Showgrounds, venue of some of the most successful of the Royal Agricultural and Pastoral Shows.
Then straight ahead will be awaiting a rousing welcome to Hastings, the near-city of the highly-productive Heretaunga Plains and the “Fruit Bowl” of the Hawke’s Bay.
CROWD BEHAVIOUR
Experience has shown clearly that record crowds will assemble in the main centres for the Royal visit, and Napier and Hastings will be no exception. Everything possible has been done to permit the people to obtain a good view of their Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Here then are a few final reminders worth noting as a means of co-operating with the authorities in the welcome to the Royal visitors.
Decide where to go.
Walk if possible.
Don’t move about.
Keep behind barriers where erected.
Obey instructions of traffic control officers.
Take up positions at a reasonable time, and avoid a last-minute rush – especially motorists.
Use side roads where possible.
Maintain a reasonable speed.
Show consideration to other people, particularly children.
Carry flags or flowers.
Above all, join heartily in singing and cheering.
How to Avoid Being a Casualty.
In every street block along the whole route to be travelled over by the Royal party in their ceremonial drive through Hastings will be first-aid posts manned by members of the St. John Ambulance and the Red Cross, ready to attend to minor mishaps likely to affect crowds lining the Royal route.
But who wants to spoil the day by fainting? Kerbside spectators who expect to stand for hours will remain vertical and avoid visits to the casualty stations if they follow these anti-fainting hints:
Keep clothing loose for coolness.
Leave tight belts, tight collars and tight shoes at home, even if your sizeable ones are less elegant.
If there is a hot sun, see that the back of the neck is covered with hat brim or scarf.
Take your own supply of glucose or barley sugar.
If you suspect that “swimmy” feeling, bend the head between the knees for a few seconds.
Many Grandstands on Property Flanking Royal Route
Every nook and cranny on the Royal tour route in Hastings is being scanned by people today, eager to find a place from where they can view the Royal couple.
Some people with property along the route are building stands for their own use. These stands range from painter’s scaffolds leaning against fences to a large aluminium solidly-constructed structure.
The owner of the aluminium stand in Karamu Road (most of the stands are in Tomoana Road and Fitzroy Avenue) said this morning that he had not yet received requests from the public for space on the stand but he said he was willing to let a few elderly people have seats.
Another owner of a small stand said that requests from friends and relatives had left no room for other people.
Around the route there seems to be ample viewing-room for most people with residences on the route. St Aubyn and Hastings streets have many houses with flat-roofed verandahs which will probably prove handy. In Heretaunga Street there are a number of balconies and accessible rooftops. Two-storeyed houses also abound.
Tomoana Road and Fitzroy Avenue provide what should be the most pleasant part of the drive. Today the mowing of lawns and clipping of hedges gave the finishing touches to this picturesque residential area.
Most gardens are in full and colourful bloom, and the appearance of many houses is enhanced by bunting and royal motif decorations. Flags are even hanging from the trees in one garden. Fitzroy Avenue, where Hastings schoolchildren will be lined up, is a shady and peaceful street with plane trees on either side.
In other parts of the town decorations are a little sparse. Heretaunga Street is gay with bunting and flags except for the area from Nelson Street to Tomoana Road, where there is a singular lack of decoration. This area contains mostly garages and warehouses.
Again, in Karamu Road, St. Aubyn and Hastings streets, the decorations are by no means as lavish as they might be. However, decorations are still being erected, and by tomorrow everything will probably be brighter. Today’s strong wind is increasing the difficulties of those laying decorations.
Women Decorate Fruit Basket for Queen
This afternoon two Hawke’s Bay women, Mrs A. D. Masters, Havelock North, and Mrs. J. Mercer, Hastings, had an important assignment. They arranged the basket of fruit, which the mayor, Mr. W. E. Bate, will present to the Queen when she visits Hastings tomorrow.
At the request of the borough council, the Hawke’s Bay Fruit Growers’ Association – Mrs Masters is the president’s wife – collected the fruit for the basket. Growers eagerly co-operated, and the association had a choice collection. It selected apples, peaches, apricots, plums, boysenberries, cherries and strawberries – fruit which lent itself to artistic decoration, by women who are experts in the art.
The Queen will receive the fruit in a gold painted wicker basket, measuring 16 inches across.
Workmen Race Against Time to Get Royal Dais Erected
(P.A.) GISBORNE, Jan. 6.
In the Intermediate School grounds, the scene of the Royal reception in Gisborne today, workmen fighting against time struggled last night to complete the erection of the official dais.
The team of riggers, headed by Mr R. J. Lyver, Wellington, have been travelling ahead of the Queen continuously since the Royal tour began. Apart from a break of 48 hours at Rotorua they have had no rest in the past two weeks.
At full strength it takes them six or seven hours to put up the dais and another five hours to dismantle it.
The team was short-handed when it arrived in Gisborne, as some of its members had gone ahead to Napier with a second dais framework. They began work here at 9 a.m. yesterday. At 10 o’clock last night, after 13 hours, they were still at it.
With the aid of a single electric light bulb they gradually forced order from the chaotic pile of steel tubing, plastic panels and mounds of nuts and bolts.
From somewhere up among the stars a rigger crawling along the roof-trusses confided. “It’s getting to be a fair cow. Put it up, take it down, hit the road, put it up and then it down again. There’s no satisfaction in this job.”
Owing to the difficulties of the site, some features of the dais have had to be altered. Borough council employees heard midnight strike before they signed off. The riggers themselves were forced by exhaustion to leave the school at 2.30 a.m. At 5 a.m. this morning they were back on the job lashing down the awning on the 17-foot-high roof and bolting the face panels worked with Maori designs along the 50ft frontage.
Bread-Supply Shortage
Although the baking tally for today of the Hastings Bread Supply Co. was larger than usual, as a greater demand was expected with the influx of visitors, bakers this morning found they were 2,000 loaves short.
Another batch will be baked and will be ready for sale at about 1.0 o’clock this afternoon.
“The people have gone mad. We expected a bigger demand but not this big.” said the company manager, Mr. W. R. Warnes.
Mr. Warnes said that at Christmas 1400 leaves were wasted and even with a reduced tally at New Year, 1510 loaves were fed to the pigs.
CEREMONIAL DRIVE TIMETABLE IN HASTINGS
From the moment that the Royal visitors enter Hastings by car from Napier until they proceed south to Waipawa and Waipukurau, they will be in Hastings for nearly two hours, half of which will be spent in an informal visit to Watties Canneries.
Main official features of the Hastings visit will be the ceremonial drive, which will be in two parts, affording ample opportunity for the people to see their Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, as they drive along the various streets at virtually walking pace; the official public welcome at Civic Square; and the departure of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh aboard the Royal train, this being the first time they will have used the train on their tour of New Zealand.
The scheduled times of arrival at various points along the route for the ceremonial drives and other important places are as follows, though this schedule depends entirely upon the time taken by the Royal procession to come from Napier: –
10.30: Arrives at Collinge Road and enters borough.
10.32: Reaches Alexandra Street and drops speed down to about four miles an hour for start of ceremonial drive.
10.37: Turns into St. Aubyn Street east.
10.39: Turns into Hastings Street, proceeding to Municipal Buildings.
10.41: Turns into Heretaunga Street, and proceeds to Civic Square, via Russell Street.
10.45: Mounts dais for presentations and Official Public Welcome.
11.00: Leaves dais and enters car, to continue ceremonial drive.
11.5: Turns off Heretaunga Street west into Tomoana Road.
11.10: Turns into Fitzroy Avenue, passing assembled school children, and into King Street, passing old folks and invalids.
11.15: Arrives Watties Canneries.
12.15: Leaves rear entrance canneries and boards Royal train.
12.20: Royal train departs from canneries.
12.22: Royal carriage (last of train) passes Heretaunga Street crossing.
Free Grandstand View of Royal Train’s Departure
A free grandstand view of the Royal train as it leaves Hastings with the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh aboard is offered to the people of Hastings and district on Thursday. Expectations are that the crowd assembled at the railway station yards will be the biggest even seen in Hastings and the departure of the Royal train will provide a highlight of the visit to Hastings.
The route to be followed in Hastings provides everyone with plenty of opportunities of seeing at close quarters the Royal couple, first in their open car, then on foot, and finally aboard the Royal train.
People who will line the streets leading to the public welcome at Civic Square will have ample time to find their way to the open places bordering the railway yards along Russell Street extension fronting Nelson Park. There they will be able to obtain good views of the train as it leaves the canneries and approaches the station proper.
People who have assembled along the streets on the western side of the railway leading to the Canneries will be able to obtain their second view of the Royal visitors by merging upon the fruit-loading yards and the railway sidings leading to the IMD and the canneries. These will be clear of all railway vehicles except for a rake of empty trucks.
This rake of trucks has been provided for the convenience of the people who are invited to use them as a grandstand to view the Royal train as it moves off on its journey south. Each truck is expected to hold comfortably about 50 people.
Similar facilities are being provided by the Railways Department in the yards fronting the station, entry to which may be had from Heretaunga Street, Market Street and St. Aubyn Street. There will be another rake of open trucks providing a grandstand view of the train as it passes the now gaily-coloured station. This will be the handiest position available to the people who attended the public welcome in Civic Square.
Further vantage points, of course, open to the public attending the official gathering at the square will be along Russell Street South and Railway Road from Heretaunga Street to the borough boundary, but it is felt that Railway Road might well be crowded with vehicular traffic intent upon following the Royal train south.
“We are throwing open to the public the whole of the west side of the railway yards on both sides of St Aubyn Street, but no one will be permitted to the station platform or any part of the east side of the line from St. Aubyn Street to Lyndon Road,” stated the stationmaster, Mr. J. A. Creagh, today.
The areas to which the public will have access will be clearly defined. Picket fences, with white-tipped posts, have been placed along the boundaries of the forbidden areas, which will also be patrolled by the police and the Army.
“We appeal to the people to keep within the areas allotted to them and thus lessen the risk of mishap,” said Mr. Creagh.
Such has been the careful planning by the department that for nearly a third of a mile there will be an unrestricted view provided on the west side of the railway lines of the Royal train as it departs from the canneries, approaches the station platform and then moves on to the Heretaunga crossing.
The Royal train will leave Wattie’s Canneries at 12.20 p.m., an hour after the Queen and the Duke have entered the canneries.
Waipukurau Citizens Plan Warm Welcome
(O.C.) WAIPUKURAU, Jan. 6.
When the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh halt at the Waipukurau railway station on their way south tomorrow, both young and old from all parts of the area will demonstrate the warmth of their loyalty and affection, just as enthusiastically as any other part of the country.
As the Royal couple step off their crimson and white train at the Ruataniwha Street crossing at 1.30 p.m., they will be met by the mayor, Mr. J. McCarthy. The Prime Minister, Mr. Holland, who is accompanying the Queen and the Duke, will introduce them to the mayor and mayoress, the town clerk, Mr. R. J. Acklin, and the stationmaster, Mr. E. F. Crosbie. Mr. C. G. E. Harker, M.P., will travel on the train after greeting the visitors at Waipawa.
The Queen and the Duke will then be escorted to a special dais near the platform. At the request of her Majesty, children have been accorded the most advantageous positions. They will line the pathway to the platform and occupy that portion of the railway yards nearest the train.
The dais will accommodate 39 people representative of district local bodies and organisations. After the National Anthem has been played by the Waipukurau Municipal Band, the Queen will be presented with a bouquet by Lorraine Hastings, a member of the Waipukurau Girl Guides, and then those on the dais will be introduced to her Majesty.
Adjacent to the platform will be space for former mayors and mayoresses, as well as seating for elderly and infirm people, representatives of the clergy and executive officers of local bodies. Hospital and sanatorium patients will be provided with vantage positions, while special areas have been set aside for ex-Servicemen, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides.
Members of Services’ organisations, the Scouts and Guides will assemble at Mason and Paton’s garage at 12.30 p.m. and march to their allotted spaces at the station.
School children will assemble at the primary grounds at noon and be marched to the station under the supervision of teachers who will ensure that the young folk are directed to their assigned localities. All other areas not defined for special accommodation will be available to the public.
Naturally, the largest crowd in the history of the district is expected to converge on the station. To cope with the influx, appropriate precautions will be taken by the police and the Transport Department. All nearby streets, including the railway crossing, will be closed for a time before and after the arrival of the Royal train.
Officers of the St. John Ambulance Association will set up first-aid posts throughout the locality and will be in readiness to cope with any calls for attention. Members of the territorials and cadets will assist in controlling the lines of children near the railway.
Shops will close at 11 a.m. for the rest of the day and once the Queen and the Duke have been farewelled from the station at 1.40 p.m., the afternoon will be given over to a gala celebration at the showgrounds This has been arranged by Jaycee who, with help of the Plunket Society, will hold a ball at night.
A special sports meeting will be staged by the Waipukurau Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club in the evening. Auckland athletes will feature in the programme.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHILDREN IN SPECIAL LOCATION
The expressed wishes of her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh that prominence should be given to children in the Royal visit plans has resulted in special arrangements being made for the children of Hastings and country districts to occupy a selected portion of the route to be followed by the Royal visitors on their Ceremonial Drive in Hastings tomorrow.
Those in charge of this aspect of the arrangements offer the following information for parents, teachers and children: –
Children will have a much better chance of seeing the Queen and the Duke by parading with their schools than by joining the crush along the rest of the route.
Fitzroy Avenue from Tomoana Road to King Street will be reserved solely for children and those in charge of school parties, and local residents of this part of Fitzroy Avenue.
Cornwall Road is reserved for the use of buses. Private cars may come to within one block of the procession route.
Teachers and others assisting will take charge of children from 9.30 a.m. when all children wishing to parade with their schools should be at Cornwall Park.
Children will be returned to Cornwall Park by about 11.30 a.m. and dismissed. Once dismissed the children will no longer be the responsibility of adults in charge of school groups, with the exception of those brought to the park in buses under supervision.
Flags will not be issued but it is hoped that as many children as possible will bring their own flags to help make the occasion a festive one.
A St. John Ambulance post will be established at the garage of Mr. A. E. O’Meara’s residence and St. John Ambulance personnel will be in attendance in the street.
A small area in front of Mr O’Meara’s residence will be reserved for crippled children and children of Heritage.
Insurance is available (premium nil) at State Fire for those transporting children from country areas to Cornwall Park and return. All people carrying children in this way are strongly advised to take out this insurance.
Provision will be made for children on holiday from other districts to assemble as a group or they may if they wish assemble with a school in which there is a child they know.
Buses will transport Raureka pupils and guests from the school to the assembly point and back. Children must be at school by 8.40 a.m. tomorrow.
NAPIER EXPECTANT
Human Torrent Pouring Through City Streets
The weeks and months of careful preparation are now at an end, and today Napier awaits with every outward sign of great expectancy the arrival of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The city is dressed in its fairest colours and determined to make the most of this great occasion in order that it will be a memorable one, not only for Hawke’s Bay but also for the Royal couple.
An estimate of the record crowd now thronging the city would be almost impossible as people are dispersed over the entire route from the airport to the Masonic Hotel where the Queen and Duke will stay this evening.
From early this morning special trains, buses and private cars disgorged their loads into Napier. Children clutching Union Jacks in one hand and ice creams in the other have moved in orderly groups along the streets under the watchful eye of school teachers and others.
As the Royal visitors are to fly in from the north instead of coming by land, it is natural that most of the visitors to Napier were also from that area. From Wairoa, Nuhaka and Mohaka they came to swell the human torrent pouring through the city streets.
The aircraft bringing the Queen and the Duke is expected to touch down at the Beacons aerodrome at 4.15 p.m. The authorities do not intend to allow members of the public into the airport, as no form of official or unofficial welcome is scheduled to take place there.
The Royal car, preceded by a pilot car carrying the Commissioner of Police, is due to leave the airport for McLean Park at 4.20 p.m., the route being via the Westshore embankment, Taradale Road, Tom Parker Avenue, Kennedy Road and across Nelson Park to the Latham Street entrance to McLean Park. All along this route at strategic points residents have been busy in recent weeks to ensure that their gardens and homes are looking their best for the visitors.
Others with different ideas have gone to considerable trouble to erect massive grandstands on their front lawns. One of these on a private lawn facing the entrance to Nelson Park is capable of seating more than 150 persons in comfort.
Motor traffic which has converged upon the city since early this morning has found the city under perfect control with a rather larger force of traffic police than some motorists expected to meet.
In addition to any arrangements carried out by the Transport Department, there is a highly mobile traffic control unit of ten traffic officers mounted on motor-cycles which has proved the perfect answer to the problem of handling traffic of unprecedented proportions. These traffic officers were specially selected from the municipalities of Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.
Special arrangements for children at McLean Park were found to be necessary, and organisation was carried out faithfully by a willing band of men and women. Children are to assemble in Nelson Park at 2.45 p.m. and march from there to McLean Park. They are to return to Nelson Park later to disperse after enjoying the greatest moment of their lives seated in a specially roped-off area immediately in front of the dais on which the Queen is to take up her position.
Cars are not permitted into Nelson Park, but buses conveying country children are allowed to remain in the park until the children are ready to be taken home again.
Other arrangements to handle such a large crowd include the provision of refreshment booths at McLean Park and the establishment of several first-aid posts to look after cases of fainting and other emergencies.
Provision is also made for lost or straying children to be received at one or other of the first-aid posts by members of the St. John Ambulance. A charge of 2/6 for each child was authorised, and this will be devoted to the organisation’s funds. A number of parents have taken notice of the police suggestion to tie a small name tag to their children, and this should assist considerably in the task of sorting out youngsters.
Other first-aid stations are established at the aerodrome and at strategic points over the Royal route to the Masonic Hotel. Authority has also been granted for a sidewalk cafe to be opened immediately opposite the Masonic Hotel corner in Hastings and Tennyson Streets, and this enterprise has enjoyed a brisk patronage throughout the day.
Visitors to Napier tonight should note that the following streets have been closed to all traffic from 2 p.m. today: The full length of Emerson and Market Streets, Tennyson Street from Church Lane to Herschell Street, Marine Parade from Browning to Albion Street, Hastings Street from the Post Office to Browning Street and Dalton Street from Emerson to Dickens Street.
Her Majesty and the Duke are expected to enter McLean Park at 4.40 p.m. and make a circuit of the ground passing in front of the main stand, the raised embankment at the Morris Street end and the old stand on their way to the raised dais. The circuit is roped off and space left for school children, in the centre of the ground. The Prime Minster, the Rt. Hon. S. G. Holland, will receive the Royal couple at the dais and present them to the mayor and mayoress, Mr and Mrs E. R. Spriggs, and the town clerk, Mr. F. R. Watters. This will be followed immediately by the civic welcome.
First will be a Royal Salute, the opening bars of “The Garb of old Gaul”, played by the pipes and drums of the 1st Battalion, Hawke’s Bay Regiment. This will be followed by the first verse of the National Anthem played by massed brass bands comprising the Technical Memorial, Salvation Army and Napier citizen’s Bands.
A traditional haka of welcome will be extended on behalf of the Maori race by members of the Ahuriri and Heretaunga Tribal Committees, and the mayoress will present a bouquet of flowers to her Majesty.
Mr Spriggs will then read the official address of welcome, and her Majesty will briefly reply.
This will be followed by the presentation to the Queen of a handsome solid silver cigarette box engraved with the city’s coat-of-arms. The engraving is copied from the grant-of-arms received by the city council from the Earl Marshall of England three years ago.
Following the acceptance of the gift, Mr Spriggs will present to the Queen and the Duke 74 representatives of Napier city, the Hawke’s Bay and Wairoa counties and the Taradale and Wairoa boroughs. The head prefects of the boys’ and girls’ high schools, representing the children of Napier, will also be presented.
Following the presentation the Queen and Duke will sign the visitors’ book and leave the park after the mayor has called for three cheers for the visitors. The mayor and mayoress will escort the Royal couple to their car, which will proceed via Latham Street, Nelson Park, Kennedy Road, Thackeray Street, Clive Square, Emerson Street, Marine Parade and Tennyson Street to the Masonic Hotel.
After arriving at the Masonic Hotel it is expected that the Queen will rest until she continues her tour the following morning. It is likely, however, that the Royal couple will make one or more appearances on the hotel balcony this evening.
At 6 p.m. the Duke of Edinburgh will leave the hotel to spend an hour with former naval officers at a cocktail party in the Hawke’s Bay and East Coast Art Gallery, Herschell Street. It is not yet known if he will travel this short distance by car or whether he will walk.
During this period the city council’s publicity committee will extend hospitality at the City Council Chambers to the visiting journalists, photographers and representatives of overseas broadcasting, television and film organisations.
The influx of visitors is expected to be even further increased this evening when her Majesty’s subjects from outside the areas who have been working during the day will be free to join the throng of unprecedented size on the Marine Parade between the Sound Shell and the Masonic Hotel. This area has been the one particularly favoured with decorations, and it certainly never looked so gay or inviting as at midday today. Tonight the spectacle is expected to be quite breathtaking as thousands of electric decorative lights are flashed on to give glittering beauty to the noble line of Norfolk pines, the collonade [colonnade], Sound Shell, sunbay and lovely surroundings. The huge golden crown set yesterday atop the sunbay will cast its brilliance over the scene to add to that of the fireworks and the colourful Tom Parker fountain.

Waipukurau Tennis Tournament
(O.C.) WAIPUKURAU, Jan. 6.
Play was running true to form this morning, the second day of the Waipukurau Lawn Tennis Club’s annual tournament. There was an excellent number of entries. The greens were fast, but mostly showing signs of wear, only the two centre courts being in good condition.
The men’s seedings are B. Read, J. Crosby, T. Eichelbaum, and A. Mills, the latter seeded player gaining an easy win over L. McDonald, 6-4, 6-0. He showed a wide range of fluent ground strokes.
In the first round of the women’s singles, Miss N. Morton’s powerful stroking proved too much for Miss A. Booth, who went down 6-0, 6-3,

EASIER INQUIRY FOR STORE LAMBS AT STORTFORD
Anything but those offering meat among the lambs which made up the bulk of the store sheep yarding at Stortford Lodge today eased by 4/- to 5/- a head. Even the sappy conditioned lines were cheaper by about 2/- a head. Other classes of sheep were in short supply, and values for these were generally satisfactory.
The entry of 10,828 head was not large for this time of the year, but it was of sufficient size to enable buyers to become selective at reduced buying limits. Outside buyers entered the market, but most lines will remain in the district. Forward conditioned drafts of lambs were not in good supply, the greater part of the entry consisting of carry-over lines.
Sappy shorn wether lambs realised 43/6, good medium lambs 31/3 to 37/4, carry-over drafts 27/- to 27/6, and culls 17/-. Woolly wether lambs ranged from 28/6 to 37/6. Medium Down-cross lambs brought 36/9, others 27/9 to 29/6. Two-tooth ewes sold at 82/-, store ewes at 12/-, and forward two-tooth wethers at 54/-.
The sale opened with a good line of 300 early shorn wether lambs, on account C. J. W. Williams, Atua, well grown and in sappy order, which brought 43/6.
From Crownthorpe, on account A. R. Foote, 256 Down-cross lambs, in good shifting order, made 36/9.
Olrig Station sent forward a draft of 350 good-framed early shorn two-tooth ewes, which realised 82/-.
On account Jowsey Bros., Kereru, 350 woolly wether lambs in healthy order, made 37/6.
On account A. Jones, Salisbury, 350 usefully grown shorn wether lambs, off light hill country, in thriving order, after being weaned yesterday, changed hands at 27/6.
Off the Ocean Beach country, 240 Down-cross lambs, small but lively, made 27/9.
Hill-country bred shorn wether lambs from Sherenden, on account D. Hildreth, 299 in number, a fairly grown good shifting proposition, were traded at 27/6.
On account F. N. H. Beamish, Whana Whana, 305 shorn wether lambs in bright carry-over order sold at 27/-.
On account P. Pattullo, Bay View, 212 woolly wether lambs, well-grown and healthy, made 27/9.
On account Castle Hill Station, 207 good-framed early shorn wether lambs, in good medium order, changed hands at 31/2.
From Mangateretere, on account J. D. Helmore, 175 well-grown two-tooth wethers, late shorn but in killable order, realised 54/-.
On account C. Berkahan, Maraekakaho, 170 well-grown, good-skinned shorn wether lambs, a sound carry-over proposition, made 37/4.
Quiet Beef Market
A medium ox beef yarding of 171 head, mainly heifers and cows, attracted only moderate buying interest at Stortford Lodge today. Although values were better than those ruling in the pre-Christmas sales, buyers, including West Coast operations, were setting their range within schedule.
Prime ox made £43 8/6 to £45 18/6, medium £40 13/6 to £42 8/6, and unfinished £27 18/6 to £34 18/6. Prime heifers brought £29 8/6 to £32 8/6, medium £27 8/6 to £28 18/6, and lighter £25 8/6 to £26 13/6. Prime cows brought £25 11/- to £26 8/6, medium £22 8/6 to £24 8/6, and lighter £17 13/6 to £19 16/-. Good runners made £17 10/- to £21, medium £14 17/6 to £16 10/-, and vealers £6 5/-.
Ewe Mutton Firms
Mutton values firmed at Stortford Lodge today where buyers were offered only a medium-sized yarding. Ewes made the best of the market, competition from outside buyers helping lift the market 3/- to 4/- on the pre-Christmas rates. Wethers too were firm on closing rates last year. Prime ewes made 36/4 to 39/4, medium 32/7 to 34/10, and lighter 27/1 to 29/1. Extra-prime young ewes made 53/4, and other 34/10. Prime wethers brought 58/7 to 59/7, medium 55/10 to 56/10, and lighter 46/4 to 51/1. Good Down two-tooths made 52/10, and lambs 51/4.
Store Bullocks at £33
Only one consignment of store cattle came forward at Stortford Lodge today, so that an assessment of the state of the market was not possible. The single entry contained 43 A.A. bullocks which came off the Havelock North hills, being offered on account H. J. Longstaff. They were well-grown thick-bodied beasts, in good order, and did not appear dear at £33.

with their humble duty
Tender Loyal Greetings
on the occasion of
Her Visit to Hawke’s Bay
January 6th, & 7th, 1954
[Advertisement]
LOYAL GREETINGS
On the occasion of the visit of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, to the Dominion of New Zealand, we tender loyal heartfelt greetings.
INSERTED BY THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING GROCERS
BEAUTY, ELEGANCE IN ROYAL TRAIN
THE COLOURS that the Queen favours – pastel colours – give an elegant beauty to the Royal train to be used for the first time tomorrow, when it speeds the Royal party through the expansive Hawke’s Bay countryside from Hastings to Palmerston North.
The shades – light grey, pale yellow, beige and white are some – are soft and restful and are specially chosen so that they will not subdue the natural colours of the changing scene.
Luxury on Wheels.
THE New Zealand Railways Department calls the Royal coaches – one awaits the Queen in the South Island – luxurious homes on wheels. They will take her in the North Island from Hastings to New Plymouth with an overnight stop at Palmerston North, and from Wellington to Masterton, and return.
The Queen will board the South Island train at Greymouth, and on the 145-mile journey to Christchurch the Royal party will see some of the finest mountain scenery in New Zealand. The second South Island rail journey will begin at Timaru after a brief holiday at Longbeach, and will end in Dunedin 129 miles away.
The New Zealand Railways has built several Royal coaches, the first three for the 1901 visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. New vehicles were built for the 1927 tour of the Duke and Duchess of York, and another two for the Duke of Gloucester’s tour in 1934-35. It is these saloons which have been renovated at the railway workshops at Otahuhu and Addington for the present Royal tour.
They were built in the solid comfort of an era when dark varnished woodwork and heavily stuffed three-piece lounge suites were fashionable. Now they are renovated inside and out. An observation platform has replaced the enclosed vestibule and the coach has been painted crimson lake with an ivory roof and black undergear.
Contemporary Style.
INSIDE, coaches have been stripped of their period furnishings and redecorated in contemporary style to provide the Royal standard of comfort with lounge, two staterooms, cabins for the Queen’s Lady-in-Waiting and Duke’s Aide-de-Camp, shower and toilet rooms, and modern kitchen, in each coach.
There are soft muted colours in the lounge with all but one wall panelled with striated plywood finished in pale yellow. The wall which divides the lounge from the Queen’s stateroom is flush-panelled and finished in a light grey.
Window frames and skirtings are grey in a slightly darker shade and the ceiling is painted a delicate pink.
Floorcovering throughout is grey carpet with a pattern of primrose dots and light grey stars. Curtains are an unusual beige and white fabric with a diagonal weave.
Main furniture in the lounge are four easy chairs, covered with a grey and white wool check. They were designed especially for the Royal tour with novel arm rests. The rests are attached to the back of the chair and have no support at the outer end. Attractive unit is the combination radio, cocktail cabinet and writing desk. The unit also incorporates a folding table which can be extended by the addition of a companion table to seat four diners. Dining chairs are in natural oak and covered with a warm red and white check.
Book-ends on the writing desk hold New Zealand books and above is a water-colour of forest and mountain scenery in Taranaki by the painter, E. B. Lattey. The oil painting in the South Island coach, is of Lake Whakatipu. The painter is Marcus King.
Concealed Lamps
THERE is unusual lighting in the Royal lounge. Lamps are concealed behind a pelmet along each wall above the windows. Pelmets are curved, so that the concealed lights throw an even diffused light over the curve of ceiling.
Royal staterooms are furnished on the same pattern. Each has a bed, dressing-table unit and wardrobe. Walls are painted light grey and pale yellow and bedcovers are of the same beige and white materials as the curtains.
Wedgwood blue and grey is the colour scheme in the two cabins to be used by the Queen’s lady-in-waiting and Duke’s aide-de-camp. Seats are covered in maroon and white check.
The shower and toilet room has few alterations. There is a terrazzo floor and a green plastic shower curtain with a motif of tropical fish and seaweed.
But an even bigger task than preparing for the Queen’s comfort, are the department’s elaborate precautions for her safety. Every stationmaster, station agent and crossing keeper has his instructions. The pilot train will travel 15 minutes ahead of the Royal train; road crossings, tunnels and principal bridges will be inspected and the track patrolled by watchmen.
Except at town and suburban level crossings, crossing keepers will not allow an animal or vehicle to cross the line within five minutes of the arrival of the pilot train. Also the gates of private level crossings will be chained and spiked.
These are but some of the instructions stations have received. The Railways Department works on the maxim “When her Majesty the Queen travels by rail, nothing is left to chance.”
PRESSWOMAN WITH ROYAL TOUR VISITS SISTER IN HAVELOCK
The badge, PR – public relations – reveals her Royal assignment, and a strong, humorous smile, her enjoyment of the New Zealand tour. She is Elizabeth Riddell, correspondent for Associated Newspapers of Sydney, who left the Royal party in Rotorua on Monday on a private visit to Hastings and rejoined it today in Napier. She is a New Zealander who has been far afield and welcomed this brief break from journalistic duties to see her sister Mrs. Karaitiana of Havelock North.
“I’m trying to tell Australia what the Queen is seeing here, what is it like travelling with Royal tourists, and how New Zealanders display their loyalty and affection,” she said. And while the Queen and her husband rested at Moose Lodge, Miss Riddell hurried to Hawke’s Bay for a meeting after 25 years with her sister. She has a lively interest in the province. She was born in Napier.
Veteran Journalist.
Miss Riddell has been a journalist for 25 years – on leaving Timaru Convent School she went straight to Sydney to work for Truth. That was the beginning of journalistic adventures. This is the first time she has covered a Royal tour. She is enjoying the travelling and she has a lively smile for the experiences of the past weeks. “I’m quite sure the Queen is enjoying herself tremendously,” she said. Miss Riddell thinks the Queen has a strong constitution and “can take a terrific lot of punishment.” The Queen does not always smile in public, said Miss Riddell quoting a fellow correspondent, “after all the human features can only express a certain amount.”
Some times Miss Riddell has been stirred unexpectedly by incidents during the tour. She had her first “emotional shock” as she called it, when she saw the Queen wipe rain water from her brow as she stood on the dais for the civic welcome in Auckland; as she entered St. James Theatre for a film première, and again when Miss Riddell saw her in the car appear suddenly against a background of hawthorn when she was returning from the beach after her short retreat at Puhoi Beach. “This is our Queen, Here in New Zealand,” and her heart beat faster for the thought.
The Queen’s intense interest in horses and racing was mentioned by Miss Riddell.
Praised Duke
Miss Riddell had straight praise for the Duke of Edinburgh. She mentioned his alertness, informality, perception and friendly curiosity.
Miss Riddell has had an exciting and varied career as a reporter. Journalism has been an adventure in many lands. After a year at the Sydney Truth, Miss Riddell transferred to the Daily Guardian which later merged with the Daily Telegraph, and she worked with this paper for several years.
Overseas Assignments
Miss Riddell married Mr. E. Greatorex, a journalist, and went to England for two years. That was in 1935-36. By 1939 she was editor of “Woman”, but her most interesting assignment came during the war when she was sent by the Sydney Truth and the Daily Mirror to New York to open an agency there. Her work was varied and included attending the first wartime conference in North America attended by Winston Churchill and held in Quebec.
“I got tired of the War in America” she added, “so I was sent to London in time for the little blitz and the doodle bugs.”
With the Mirror office, London, as headquarters, Miss Riddell travelled the country and wrote dispatches about war-time England. After Paris had been liberated she went to France and was the first war correspondent to reach the Riviera. “They were still rounding up the Germans there,’ she recalled. She remained on the war front until the German surrender.
The war over, Miss Riddell returned with her husband to Australia and the Sunday Telegraph, and later joined the Associated Newspapers, her present employers.
Miss Riddell explained that the Associated Newspapers publish the “Sydney Sun”, “Woman”, “Pix”, “People”, “Pocket Book”, “World’s News”, “Favourite” and “Sun-Herald”.

NATIONAL IDEALS
“Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation,
Then prosper we must, for our cause it is just.”
THE nation is nothing more nor less than a group of individuals. The deeds of a nation are the deeds of its people. The progress of a nation is the combined initiative, courage, and
achievement of its subjects. The moral prestige of a nation is the cumulative result of the aspirations, the thoughts, the ideals of the people who comprise it. The glory that was Rome’s was but a reflection of the minds of illustrious Roman Statesmen and Philosophers. The fall of Rome was the inevitable result of the moral decadence of the individual Romans. Carthage, Assyria, Greece the great nations of old who, in their turn, dominated the world have outlived their glories for no other reason than that the ideals of the populace, individually, became unworthy of a great people. Napoleon, that slave of ambition, whose triumphs ended in inevitable disaster, created a glorious Empire which flourished mightily for a space, and then was dissipated to the four winds of Heaven Because, behind the creation of this power there was no thought but world-dominance, no inspiration but for the lust for power, no ideal but vanity and ambition. As with these great nations, so with others of yesterday and today. Faded glories, national extinction, disruption, discredit and retrogression. These are the aftermaths, the inevitable consequences of the loss or the debasement of those high ideals, personal and national, which alone can inspire and preserve a nation’s greatness. Sic transit gloria mundi. So we find that inevitably the minds of the citizens are the measure of the nation’s power. Let a people be imbued with high and worthy ideals, let them place honour before honours, let them strenuously adhere to the high standard of their most worthy aspirations, retain their self respect, maintain their moral and ethical principles before everything else, then honour and power must dwell with that nation. Dedicated to all that the Crown of Great Britain stands for, Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, is the revered and beloved leader of a Mighty Empire. Here in this Southern outpost, we are bound to the motherland by no display of force, by no arrogant show of Imperial domination. The link which binds us to the tiny island in the North Sea is intangible yet all powerful, the bond of a common ideal, of loyalty, of honour, and of pride for we glory in the mutual possession of national ideals, which no foe, from within or without, could ever diminish.

Freeland and Delude Should Measure Up to Good Class
PROMISE OF RECENT RACING
(By “Te Rama”)
Though Freeland was not eligible for entry in the Wellington Cup it is fairly obvious after his form of recent weeks, that he will more than hold his own when he races against the top metropolitan middle distance gallopers.
Freeland appeared unlucky not to win the Hastings Gold Cup. He was in and out of a lot of trouble in that event yet ran to within a length of the winner when finishing third.
On the final day Freeland made no mistake about the President’s and led all the way. He had to be hard ridden to hold off Beau Area but he accomplished this like a good horse.
As a hack Freeland displayed outstanding ability. For instance, he won the Waikato Hack Cup a few weeks ago when carrying 9.8, beating Elixir (9.1). In view of Elixir’s outstanding winning form in open class subsequently, this was a high-class performance and stamped Freeland as the right material to win big races in the higher grade.
At his very next start Freeland ran fourth in the Auckland Cup Trial ahead of good horses like Mt. Denby, Winslow Boy and Master Proven.
Freeland then went to Awapuni where he ran second in the Louisson and Freyberg Handicaps. His good third in the Hastings Gold Cup followed, and in the light of his consistency it was not surprising that he was a hot favourite in the President’s Handicap.
Freeland is a five-year old bay gelding by Fete de Neuilly out of Free Play, a mare by Croupier from Free Air by Kilbroney.
A first foal, he was bred by his owner Mr. A. Martelli. He has shown promise since his two-year-old days when he won a race and was three times placed and though he has taken a fairly long time to reach open class, he seems certain to be successful.
Delude, another impressive hack, ran a splendid race to be second in the Hastings Gold Cup and like Freeland, he is going to make the grade in open class with very little further experience.
He is a full brother to Deceptive, whom many think may win the Wellington Cup, and could easily prove a better horse than that good galloper.
Delude is raced by Mrs. R Porter, Palmerston North, and is trained at Awapuni by L, Knapp.
Beau Area, who won the Gold Cup and was narrowly beaten by Freeland in the President’s Handicap, ran two great trials at Hastings for this week’s Pahiatua Cup in which he is top-weight with 8.8
While Beau Area is not best known for his reliability, he is in the middle of a great patch of form while still handily enough weighted to be dangerous in provisional class.
In the Wellington Cup Beau Area has 7.11 and in his present solid condition he must be regarded as one of the best lightweight prospects of this field.

Mr Glazebrook Leading Owner at Auckland
The Royal Auckland Cup winner Coaltown and Tallarook placed Hastings owner Mr. H. M. Glazebrook well clear at the top of the list of winning owners at the Auckland Racing Club’s summer meeting which concluded on Saturday. Between them, Coaltown and Tallarook won £9515, Coaltown’s share was £9400. Besides winning the Royal Auckland Cup, he was second in the Auckland Racing Club Handicap. Tallarook gained a third and a fourth.
Red Jester’s two wins and a third credited his owner Mr. D. M. Douglas with £4350.
Fox Myth’s victory in the Great Northern Derby brought owner Mr. H. S. Limmer £3500 and equal third place on the list. Mrs. B. G. Russell with Roka also won £3500. Roka had one placing – first in the Auckland Racing Cup Handicap. Fifth on the list was Sir Ernest Davis, for whom Wakatu, Takatu, Omania and Liliuokalani earned £3145. Takatu had three placings in as many starts; the most profitable was first in the Summer Cup. Mr. J. Cavanagh, for whom Chief Admiral won three races and £3105, was not far behind sixth.
The following owners won £1000 or more of the stakes: Messrs M. H. Tims and D. R. Walker, £2220; M. Marinovich, £1970; G. S. Walton, £1620; S. D. Larsen, £1600; G. L. J. Mitchell, £1560; M. J. Nash, £1150; Mrs. E. C. Loisel, £1125; Hon. W. S. Goosman, £1100; W. Deutsch, A. McKenzie, W. H. Reid, £1000.

FOR THE ELIZABETHAN ERA
Without transport, standards of living everywhere would soon fall away. Industrial progress would be retarded, food production would dwindle, every aspect of our lives would be affected. In our chosen field of enterprise – the distribution of products allied to the transport industry – we serve the nation beyond the mere bounds of being in business for a living. This service we shall sustain and strengthen for all, throughout Her Majesty’s reign.
