King George and' Queen Elizabeth arranged to take three-year-old Prince Charles and 17-month-old Princess Anne to the airport to wave goodbye to their travelling parents. Also due at the airport was Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who knows as well as the next man the value of royal tours in holding the commonwealth togeth er. After U. S. Tour Today’s departure for Elizabeth and Philip comes jdst six weeks after they returned from a 75-day triumphant tour across Canada and back, with a short side visit to President Truman in Washington. On this new trip, they are sub stituting for the King and Queen. The parents’ long-planned tour of the Antipodes was cancelled months ago because of the Monarch’s ill health. The young folks will try to make up for it with a far more extensive tour than was planned for George and Elizabeth. First to Libya Elizabeth and Philip fly first to El Adem, in Libya, then across Africa to Nairobi, Kenya, which was not on the king’s itinerary. They will stay in Kenya a week, part of the time making their first visit to the hunting lodge which the colony gave them as a wedding present. At Mombasa they will board the liner Gothic and will sail to Ceylon. There they will visit Kan dy, last capitol of the Kandyan kings, and the famous Buddhist shrine, the temple of the tooth. The couple’s Australian tour starts at Perth on April 1 and will extend around the south and east coasts of that commonwealth. Be fore reaching Sydney they will visit Tasmania, then will rest for two or three days at a big sheep ranch in Murrumbidgee Valley in the latter part of April. Travel by Plane Most of the travel in Australia will be by plane. \ The tour of New Zealand opens at Willington May 7 and will in clude a holiday on a Canterbury sheep station and a reception by the Maoris, the Antipodes’ original settlers, at Rotorua. Lady Pamela Mountbatten, 24- year-old daughter of Vice-Admiral Earl Mountbatten and Philip’s cou sin, is accompanying Elizabeth as her lady in waiting. The Princess’ private secretary, Equerry and five other members of the royal staff also are going along.

THE STORY OF A BRIDE O-GOLOWYN.MAYER PICTURE NEWS — CARTOON Even Nickel Tickets Are Valuable . . . now in our game of DAILY LUCKY-CUSTOMER. $2.50 value has been added to the face-value of the winning ticket for each day that the winning ticket is not claimed. For instance, a Monday winner may be claimed on any following day for a week. If however, it is not claimed, then when the next Monday winner is drawn, $2.50 value is added to the “pot”. Each day of the week will be considered a separate “pot”., and if winners of, say, Monday pots are not claimed for several consecutive weeks, then each Monday the value will increase $2.50 until such time as a winner claims the “pot.” We had four winners during the first five days of the game, but because so many people are out of town this week or because small tickets are thrown away, we now have had only one winner of the past five days. This change is designed to give value to small tickets, too, without dis couraging the registering of large purchases on single tickets. Ask your neighbor or one of our clerks about our game if you are not already familiar with it. Some lucky customer EVERY DAY gets DOUBLE-Value for groceries purchased here. You may be the one. Details are shown in the store. Frequently we are asked “When will you notify us if we win?” Please bear in mind that we deal exclusively in NUMBERS, not names, and we never know who possesses the winning number. Only by making comparisons with posted numbers in the store can you be a winner. SAVE EVERY CASH REGISTER TICKET, HOWEVER SMALL.
