5 In the Days News Br FRANK JENKINS From London: Prince Philip-up until now as regal as a Queen's husband is supposed to be-got into the "baby watch" spirit this week. He had 19 magnums of champagne delivered to the palace to celebrate the coming e.vent. A palace spokesman said the birth, the first to a reign ing British monarch in a century, probably would come before Sunday. THE first royal birth to a reigning British monarch in a century! That would mean that the last one was to Queen Vic toria and her consort, Prince Albert. You can bet your bot tom dollar that if Albert had rushed out and ordered 19 magnums of champagne (a magnum is a half gallon) with which to celebrate the occasion Victoria would have read him a sermon that would have curled his whiskers. Times change in Britain, as elsewhere. INCIDENTAL information: Victoria and Albert had nine children-four sons and five daughters. So, inevitably, the time came when a royal birth was a more or less rou .tine affair. MORE incidental informa tion. Victoria's father died be fore she was a year old, and her mother brought her up, VERY carefully. Not until she was 12 years old was she permitted to learn that she was to be a queen. When told, she said at once: "I will be GOOD." WELL, she was good. Under her rule, Upper and Lower Canada were united and given self-government. Britain fought the Opium war in China, the . Crimean war, the South Afri can war and various small wars with the Chinese, Abys sinians, Afghans and Zulus. Victoria was proclaimed Em press of India. The British seized control of Egypt and many other areas. The British colonies in Australia were federated into a self-govern-' ing state. It was ' during Victoria's reign that the British Empire came to its fullest flower. HMMMMMMMM. Page the guy who sug gested the other day that Margaret Chase Smith would be a good running mate for Richard Nixon in which ' event she might become presi dent. Theater Man Has Yet To See Movie Dallas, Tex. -flJPD- W. W. Carpenter has spent the last 42 years inside movie theaters, but still hasn't seen a film from beginning to end. Carpenter, a 62-year-old projectionist, has gone all the way from the silents to the new 70mm reels of "Solomon and Sheba." But he has never seen a complete movie because "I don't have time." . "I only look at the screen for defects in the film. I watch a little of the movie, but I never follow the story," he said. Carpenter was the first pro jectionist to unreel a talking movie in Dallas. "The first talkie was a newsreel," he recalled. "I watched the audience straight en up and I figured talkies were here to stay." Few Drug Addicts Found in Masks Anchorage, Alaska - (UPD -An official of the Alaska State Police reports that the 49th state has one of the lowest incidences of narcotics addic tion per unit of population in the United States. Police Lt. Larry Mayfield said Alaska has no real prob lem with illegal drugs except for "an occasional hophead." Mayfield indicated that for the past number of years the market for drugs in Alaska has been too small to warrant a big smuggling operation. He said he believed the few users in Alaska "get their narcotics by mail from other states." REALTY MAN DIES Palm Beach, Fla. -l?&- Vin cent S.
