Frank Schnee, the talkative drummer put but as spec- tator only. "A sprained wrist prevented his tatoo of the skins for this week. Don Jackson took over Frank's position and T'm still won- dering how he could bear up above all that beating after turning night into day Friday. Herbie himself still isn't feeling up to par after his tonsillectomy, and brother Bob didn't show. Most surprising feat of the battered crew, was Bill Burke's solo on that horn of his. Bill still has his wrist well protected as a result of a break in an appearance suffered during a school rugby game. Good show Bill, you're really tops. Don Sebire and Bob Pedler of Hamilton, two former members of the once-upon-a-time Don Alexander organization, made surprise visit to the Club Satur- day. They're jobbing with a Ham. ilton band now, and we'd like to see these boys back with the rest of their Union men at Club "20" some Saturday night. Don relieved Don on the drums dur- ing the evening and he certainly is a natural with those sticks in his hands. Bob, if Jou remember, was really hot stuff on his elec- tric guitar. A trio of die-hards from a near- by ported oil tanker put in an ap- pearance dluring the evening and left early to no ope's disappoint- ment. They trade-marked the hall before they left by . fisting two panes of glass. Only witnesses to this uncalled for action were three unobserved fellows outside the hall. With the Club's interest at heart they gave the now quickly retreating trio a shout and follow- ed them in quick pursuit. It was quite a chase but paid off, with- out casualty, and while two were allowed to proceed to the bus, the third was brought back to the hall and presented to the President of the Club, who after a short but forceful lecture let him-go, after he had paid for the two panes of glass, of course.

"Success lies in complete co-operation," he stat ed. "Remember the parody on an old saying, which I have always found to ring true: "united we stick, divided we're stuck", and continue your all out effort until your hospital is completed." Col. the Rev. C. K. Nicoll, padre of Branch 114, Canadian Legion, officiated at the ceno- taph service and conducted the dedication. Speakers were intro- duced by James Dunwoody, chairman of the hospital board. Memorial services honouring those town and district men who made the supreme sacrifice in two wars preceded the dedication ceremony. Led by the Lorne Scots PD. & H. regiment pipe band, which shared martial mu- sic honours with the Oakville- Trafalgar high school bugle band, the parade formed at Central school commons for the march to the cenotaph in George's Square. Here a brief impressive service was folowed by the laying of the wreaths, after which the parade moved off to the hospital site. Two blocks in length, the par- ade included a company of the Lorne Scots, a large contingent of ex-service men, municipal offi- cials, service organizations, Ap- pleby College and O.T.H.S. cadet units, Scouts, Cubs, Guides Brownies and Sea Scouts. The salute was taken by the Lieuten- ant-Governor at the post office. REAL ESTATE and Vr. Walsh will make his | NOTICE 1 Mr. J, Field and Mr, A. F.

AND ALL WHO HAVE DEALT. WITH HOBBY COLUMN By Wm. D. Christianson, Jr. On Sunday, the bells rang out the news that son was born to Princess Elizabeth. This means that he will inherit - the title of Prince of Wales, last borne by the present Duke of Windsor. This event will be marked by coin and stamp collectors with an eye to the future. Coins only bear. the face of the ruling monarch, so even Princess Elizabeth is not yet shown on British coins, but may some day in the future. Princess Elizabeth first appeared on a stamp from Canada in 1935. This was the one cent green of the sil- ver Jubilee issue of George V. A variety of this stamp with a small splash of ink just below the eye was due to a mark on the plate. Since there was only one of them to a sheet of 400, these "tear drop" varieties were much sought after. Princess Margaret appear- ed with Princess Elizabeth on the one cent stamp of the Royal visit issue of 1939. New Zealand health stamps of 1943 and 1944 portray- ed the two princesses, the second showing them together in their Scout uniforms. The 1943 issue. was triangular, and a favourite with collectors. Australia during the last year brought out a small brownish stamp showing Prin- cess Elizabeth. This stamp was originally on watermarked pap- er but has subsequently been is- sued on unwaterwarked stock. Canada, too, issued a Princess Elizabeth stamp recently, which has been very popular. During the recent Royal v to South Africa, Princess Eliza- beth appeared on a single stamp among a series of views of the Royal Family, and also on a double stamp showing both prin- cesses. In South Africa, . the visit was honoured picturing both princesses, but each alternate stamp is inscribed in Afrikaans so that in every pair, only one is in English. Newfoundland was the first country to show Princess ~ Eliza- beth on their stamps. This was a beautiful blue stamp showing her as a b5-year-old child. She was again shown on one of the set is- sued in 1938. This stamp was orig- inally perforated 13% (number of perforations in 2 centimetres). In 1941, it was re-issued but perfor- ated 12%. Last year this design was used, but with an up-to-date portrait of he princess. Newfoundland has always in- cluded members of the Royal fam- ily among their stamps since King Edward VII was shown in Highland costume as Prince of Wales in 1868 and 1880. In 1897, Prince Edward was shown in a 1% cent stamp. At the same time, another stamp showing his father as the Duke of York was issued, while another showed the Prince of Wales. This series included Queen Victoria, Alexandra as Princess of Wales, 'and Mary as Duchess of York. In 1911, a Roy- al family series which, in addition to King George V and Queen Mary, showed the Duke of Wind- sor as Prince of Wales; King George VI as Prince Albert; Princess Mary, now Princess Roy- al; Prince Henry, now Duke of Glouchester; Prince George, late Duke of Kent; Prince John, Queen. Alexandra and the Duke of Connaught. Several of the la- ter issue also showed the Duke of Windsor as the Prince of Wales. Stamp collectors will be look- ing forward to the issuance of a stamp to portray the new Prince.
