The city's turn in the royal limelight came toward the end of a drive through Hull and Ottawa. Crowds estimated at 300,000 lined the route. In a ceremony that was particularly of a civic nature, Elizabeth gave her title to a development that will change the face of the national capital. At Hurdman's Bridge, opened by her mother in 1954, the lovely, smiling Queen set off a dynamite explosion that sent cascades of earth rising skyward, the initial tangible work on this enormous through-way scheme.

After the rigid formalities of the opening of Parliament, state dinner and state reception, this was a most friendly, relaxed ceremony.

High-ranking officials of this predominantly French speaking city were thrilled no end when the Queen and Prince Philip greeted them In their own language. The Royal Couple spoke English but once and only briefly. This was following their Introduction to Rev.

Canon C. W. Earle and Mrs. Earle. Canon Earle represented Hull's Protestant clergy.

Several hours prior to the Royal Couple's arrival at Hull's city hall, thousands were on hand in an effort to stand In choice spots. When the open car drove within sight of city hall, thousands shouted their joy at seeing their Queen and her Consort In person. Shout "Bonjour Queen" had been shaking in their boots, assumed a taut air of calm, as the Queen and Philip alighted from their car. Mayor Nelms advanced and with a creditable bow excialm-ed: "Your Majesty, I have the great honor to reoeive you in the name of the peoole of the City of Ottawa." Mrs. Nelms curtsied smoothly and presented a bouquet of flowers to Her Majesty.

There were introductions to Prince Philip, and the Governor-General's Foot Guards' Band played the National Anthem and Canada. Thousands of Ottawans had gathered around the eastern end of the bridge for the ceremony, Including not a few civic, servants who had been given time off to attend. fc. i 1 i in -i i ii inn nun 11 rm To many, the cbeer afford-t the couple In Hull were I I i than those heard at any-anywhere In Ottawa, ny "bilingual" shouts were rd.

The Hull MP later said the Prince's French was "I honestly don't know why I threw In the fact that I am a Catholic," said Mr. Caron after the ceremony. "I guess I was just trying to make conversation and being so thrilled at speaking with Prince Philip I just said the first things that came to my mind." Queen Elizabeth, who had heard that the majority of the city's schools had been closed due to the recent Influenza outbreak, asked when the children would be going back to school. "This afternoon they're feeling a lot better no.v," replied the Mayor. Mayor Monclon then asked the Queen how Prince Charles was feeling following his recent battle with influenza.

"The report I have received on his condition axe very good," she replied. "We are all very happy to hear this," Mayor Monclon said. uty chief of Protocol, was in the council room. (Mr. Thibeault resides in Hull).

When Informed he was not present, Her Majesty said: "Does he still sing in a local church choir?" Mayor Monclon said he did and was a member of isotre Dame Church across from city hall. "During our visit In 1951 I heard him sing Alouette several times. Does he still sing it as well?" The Mayor smiled broadly and assured the Queen Mr. Thibeault was "still In good voice." The Queen wore a hollyberry red woolen suit trimmed with black Persian lamb. Prince Philip wore a dark business suit and felt hat.

While she was being escort-ed out of the council room, Queen Elizabeth told Mayor Moncion: "I'm glad we could come back to Hull, even if It was for just a short time. We still remember the great reception for us the last time we were here." Smiling proudly, Mayor Monclon replied it had been "our great honor and pleasure to have you visit us." The Koyal party arrived several minutes late at city hall. The ceremony Inside took no more than the ten minutes alloted in the official program. As the Royal Couple rode away from the building, thousands ran along the sidewalks, shouting and waving their flags. This brief visit to Hull was the only one scheduled in the province 'f Quebec.

Prince Philip made an unofficial visit to the Thurso, area on Monday while on a duck hunting trip where he bagged his limit of eight. This was the Queen opening a trade fair, attending a bazaar, christening a ship, anywhere in the Commonwealth. But there was the particular fact that she was doing it in Ottawa, In Canada, as our Queen and obviously participating in this occasion with the enjoyment and happiness. No one who saw the rather quaint little ceremony at Hurdman's Bridge will ever forget that Elizabeth on October 13. 1957, set the Queensway in motion.

The Queen and Prince Philip arrived at the scene just after 11.30 a.m. A nervous, yet de lighted Mayor Nelms and City Council were on hand to greet them. The city fathers, who earlier Robes Left In The royal visitors were escorted to the dais and then ensued the necessary, but time-consuming procedure of introducing dignitaries. Briefly, these included Public Works Minister Green, Premier Frost of Ontario, Provincial Secretary Dunbar, Highways Minister Allan, FDC Chairman, Gen. Howard Kennedy, controllers and aldermen of the City of Ottawa, and wives.

Mayor Nelms, eschewing the resplendent robes of his pre decessor, Charlotte Whltton, wore a plain dark suit and his chain of office. In-polnt-of-fact, some $5,000 worth of civic robes had been left in mothball-saturated cupboards due to the shyness of the present civic incumbents. Her Majesty and Prince Philip, upon invitation of the Mayor, signed the City's Golden Book and Premier Frost then made a brief speech on the planning of the Queensway and Surprised By Her Majesty seemed rather surprised at the noise of the explosion, particularly as it was at the rear of the dais, behind the Queen. She smiled broadly and told Mayor Nelms: "This is an unique way of starting a project" Premier Frost asked the Queen's permission to name the project the Queensway and asked Her Majesty to press the button setting off the explosion. "I stayed well away from that button, I was afraid I might set the thing off myself." Mr.

Frost exclaimed. During presentation of the dignitaries, the Queen and Philip talked with Aid. H. H. Srailey and Aid, Frank Boyce.

Aid. Bradley was limping along, using a cane while Aid. Boyce who was recently in an accident sported crutches and a cast As the royal couple left the dais they were cheered to the echo by the crowd, estimated to number 10.000 in the vicinity of Hurdman's Bridge alone. Prince Philip stopped to talk with one of the 4th PLDG troopers who were resplendent in plumed, silver helmets and dress blue uniforms. "He asked me what my unit was and I told him that we were a former cavalry regiment, now converted to armoured corps," Cpl Albert Smith related.

The weather for Inauguration ceremony was j.nt perfect. The sun was bright and Jie Cameron and Foot GuarU were brilliant In tiielr colorful uniform. The Queen and Philip seemed to be enjoying themselves so much that they stayed teyond schedule, talking, and waving to the populace. At it was time to go but as int couplt left tn route to Mothballs asked Her Majesty to inaugurate this multi-million dollar development. The Queen, most pretty and withal of a commanding presence, pressed a button and a contrived explosion of reasonably spectacular proportions was set off.

The crowd was silent for a moment, perhaps perturbed by the noise of the explosion. There need have been no fear, though. The Queen and Prince Phili pwere very amply protected by three of the most distinguished militia regiments in the Commonwealth, the IV Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, the Governor General's Foot Guards, and the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. As the royal couple left the ceremony en route to Government House, the Camerons' band struck up invitational music, bidding for another early visit of the Queen and her Consort The Noise Government House, the Camerons struck up invitational music, bidding for another early vlsl, of the Queen and her Consort Royal Navy Yields Base TRINCOMALEE, Ceylon (Reuters) The Royal Navy's white ensign was lowered at the big Ceylon naval base of Trin-comalee today to mark the end of 162 years of British naval control. As the white enflgn fluttered down and the ensign of the Royal Ceylon Navy was hoisted, the formal transfer of the base from British to Ceylonese control was formally effected.

This base, on Ceylon's northeast coast, was formerly the headquarters of the Royal Navy' East lyuia station. Ceylon plans to turn it into a commercial port Prime Minister Bandaranaike, who hoisted the Ceylonese flag, said the spirit in which the transfer had taken place was a tribute to the manner In which Brl'lsh Commonwealth nation could settle differences of opinion.

Lewis suffered a badly pulled muscle above the left knee In yesterday's Rider-Montreal Alouette tussle in the Quebec Metropolis and spent the night in a Montreal hospital under the care of Alouette physician Dr. Gordon Young.

The bard-plunging fullback was due back in Ottawa later today and Dr. W. F. A. Davles, Ottawa club physician, was to decide whether Lewis should go back In hospital.

This poses a problem for the Rough Rider management with the final cut-down date coming up at midnight Friday. By that time all Canadian clubs are required to name their final 12 Imports. The Rough Riders have 13 In camp. Rough Rider General Manager Jim McCaffrey failed to commit himself to this question but it is felt that If Lewis will be ready after a one-or-two week layoff the club will go with 11 Imports, as they have already clinched a playoff berth.

The center of the controversy, Malcolm Muggeridge, fumed: "If we've reacned the point at which honest opinion about the monarchy is inadmissible or scandalous, then we have ceased to be a free society." Muggeridge, 54-year-old former editor of the magazine Punch, described the monarchy as "a kind of royal soap opera" In an article in the Saturday Evening Post entitled "Does England really need a Queen?" He had been scheduled to discuss the article on BBC television last night but his appearance was cancelled a few hours before the program.

A BBC spokesman said: "We have come to the conclusion that we should not give further publicity to a matter which has already hsJ enough." Mugger dge a witty, silver-haired dlj.urb'r of many a hornet's nest In Britain, had described the BBC in his article as "that serene temple of contemporary He said It always treats le royal family with exaggerated solicitude.

Monday was a day of golden pageantry as thousands sf Ottawaiu and still other thousands of visitors from far and near gathered to see Queen Elizabeth II take part In the impressive ceremony of the opening of Parliament. It was a day of blue skies and golden sunlit hills, of bravely waving flags and banners of pomp and circumstance.
