TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. June 7. 1955 Queen To Ride in Limousine Instead of Golden Coach Br ROBERT MUSEL United Pratt Correspondent London (U.R) Queen Eliz abeth rides to open the first new Parliament of her reign Thursday not in a golden coach out of fairyland but in a black limousine out of an assembly line. It's a blow to the record throng of tourists here. For the state opening of Parl iament is the pageantry high spot of the year." Tens of thou sands pack the ancient route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster to marvel at the gilded coach so like a storybook chariot and to stare at the Queen and her handsome prince. They'll still be able to see both of them Thursday through the high plate glass windows of the royal limousine But auto mobiles on great days like this are for ordinary people, not for beautiful queens. The decision to use the car instead of the state coach with its prancing pairs of Windsor greys was taken deliberately be cause of the railroad strike. It will keep down the size of the crowd and that is important with so few trains running. Trooping of Colors Cancelled Elizabeth already had cancel ed another historic ceremony trooping of the color by the bri gade of guards because of the strike. Calling it off has made the spring even more drab. The Queen is in her 30th year and only for a few more will she ride from her palace, sidesaddle on a charger, at the head of the glittering and clattering house hold cavalry. It is a moving and memorable moment and those who have come a long way to witness it are understandably disappointed. Very few tourists, either, will be lucky enough to get a seat in the packed House of Lords to witness " the magnificent cere money there and hear the sur prisingly high voice of the Queen reading the speech pre pared by Prime Minister An thony Eden's government. That's too bad for it is one of the great royal spectacles. Heralds Lead Party Heralds in gold braided ta bards will lead the royal party to the lords robing room where the Queen will don her crown of dia monds and mantle of velvet and ermine. Her personal body guards, the corps of gentlemen-at-arms with their ceremonial axes and plumed helments, will take up stations on her path to the House of Lords. Two delightful bits of play acting will have taken place by this time. The yeomen in their Tudor uniforms will poke around in the cellars of Parliament with spears as they have done ever since Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the palace in 1605. And a messenger of the Queen called Black Rod will have the door of the House of Commons slammed in his face. The tri umphant commoners, having proved they can assert such in dependence, then flock to the Chamber of Lords in time to see the splendid arrival of the Queen on the arm of the Duke of Edinburgh. There is a moment of silence. Then, as many kings and queens have said over the past 600 years or so, the Queen will say: "My lords, pray be seated."

The next meeting of the South ern Oregon Stamp club will be a picnic July 7 at Hawthorne park Jackson County Auxiliaries Aid Annual Institute for Blind Members of every Lions club auxiliary in Jackson county con tributed to the support of the annual summer institute for parents of blind children now being held in Salem according to Mrs. L. L. Hickock, The Dalles, 'president of the Oregon Lions Club auxiliary. The insti tute, conducted in cooperation with the Oregon School for the Blind, opened June 3 and will close June 9. The institute was adopted as the state auxiliary project in 1950, and receives its entire sup port from local clubs. This year a budget of $3,125 was provided. In addition to providing funds for the institute, Lions' auxili ary members participate in an other way. In order for parents to spend a week in Salem, it is necessary - for most of them to take their children. Over 250 women from more than 30 clubs throughout, the state are acting as baby sitters for the children while the parents attend classes. Recognizing the need for help ing the visually handicapped child very early in life, Walter Dry, superintendent of the Ore gon School for the ' Blind, or ganized the first institute for parents in 1949 when the grow ing need for such help became overwhelmingly apparent. Parents attending the lectures and discussions are helped to recognize the problems facing them and their handicapped children. An insight into the medical and psychiatric prob lems attending a visual handi cap is given by medical experts, and the parents learn what help is available to them in these fields. Trained staff members from blind schools in Oregon, Washington and California are guest speakers at this year's in stitute. ' ' Adult blind speak on their suc cessful adaptation in college, home making and the business world. Of particular interest is a panel entitled "We have a handicapped child" led by par ents of a blind child, a deaf child and a child with cerebral palsy. Throughout the year, a follow up of the child's progress is given by the home pre-school counseling service throughout the state. Mrs. Laura Zetsche is the counselor in the Portland area, while Miss Mollie Vlasnik maintains offices in Salem and Portland and works throughout the rest of the state. With the assistance, when necessary, of an educational fund set up by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, 31 visually handicapped children are now entered in play groups and nursery schools in Oregon This number is double that oi previous years, according to Mrs. Hickock, and it is particu larly encouraging to staff work ers in Oregon who have been among the pioneers in helping blind children become active members of their own commu nities. The Elks have also pro vided specialized ' equipment used in the pre-school eye clinic at the University of Oregon Medical school in Portland, and they give assistance where ne cessary to bring children to the clinic. Mrs. Hickock states that every auxiliary member contributes 25 cents per year to the institute fund by way of her. dues, and that in addition, the various aux iliaries raise large sums of money through benefit projects. Some Jackson county auxiliaries contributed more than $100, and Crater Lions' auxiliary in Medford contributed. $300. Lay ette items are also contributed by auxiliaries. - ; U NU IN ISRAEL Bedgrade, Yugoslavia (U.R) Burmese Premier U Nu arrived from Israel today for a 10-day state visit Amaranth Group Attends Meeting Of Douglas Court Mrs. George Rehart, royal ma tron of Roxy Ann court.
