At home the three little princesses had planned a nice day off to the seaside with a swim, the building of a sand fortress and a picnic.

In the beginning they had great fun, but soon holiday makers noticed the little group, leaving them hardly a square yard of beach or sea. Princess Juliana urged the intruders to leave her children alone but to no avail and the crown princess was forced to break up the seaside visit. Afterwards the secretariat of the palace issued an appeal to the Dutch people to permit the little princesses to appear in public. only take about four such parties Our Plans NOW To Attend a week, particularly if you drink your lunch as a few of the gayer blades of this society did, especially if they had an author in tow.

But in time of war, the tiny guided missile group may spring into the young giant of the army. Located at Elgin Field, not only V-2 rockets, but pilotless come under its scope. Its pilots and technicians can sit at the controls of a mother plane and guide a squadron of bombers over a target several miles away.

What is more, they can actually see the target by television. Chief problem now stumping the guided missile group is how to operate without a mother plane, or without radio navigation beacons In the country to which the plane is flying. The pilotless bomber that flew the Atlantic to England last week could not have landed in enemy territory. Radio guides in England helped it land. Another difficulty is the electronic brain which now pilots the ships.

Nancy Ann walks about almost normally although she has taken some unscheduled spills. She plays with other children, with her dog "Tiny" and her doll "Francey."
