Spotlight on IncoIn three large-distribution publications the

Inco story has been featured recently. Satur-day Evening Post's Darrell Berrigan, in hisseries of articles entitled "What's Going OnIn Canada", and Toronto Star Weekly's RossHarkness in a story on "Sudbury", both de-,vote considerable space to Inco's operations,'as does Imperial Oilways Magazine in an,article titled "Fabulous Inco".

Highly enthused about Canada, DarrellBerrigan uses colorful prose to record hisimpressions of a journalistic jaunt across thegreat Dominion, Here's one of his para-graphs about the nickel industry:

"They are among the oldest great minesin Canada, but there is probably no place inthe country where the impact of the Cana-dian boom is more evident and its excite-ment more communicable. To stand on theedge of the vast, open-faced pits and watcha stream of enormous thirty-eight-ton trucksreceive loads of rich, yellow-green ore fromthe slavering mouths of giant mechanicalshovels and follow its roaring, snorting, im-patient passage out of the 500-foot deep holeto pour its load into the maw of an insatiablemill and rush back for more-that is to feelthe excitement that man can dissemble, butmachines cannot. And yet, this tremendoushole is only a supplementary operation. Thegreat work is underground, in tunnels thatspread beneath your feet for miles, wheremen gnaw at the greatest accumulation of

Big Variety ofTiynberProcessing HaiadledforMitae

Frood-Stobie Carpenter andFraming Shops a Busy Spot

Three quarters of a million feet of timbera year is processed into various shapes andsizes for underground square sets at Frood-Stobie Mine alone. In addition to thismaterial, the carpenter and framing shopsat Frood-Stobie regularly produce a tremend-ous quantity of other items for use in themine, such as ventilation doors, concreteforms, ladder sides, skip and cage guides,saddle blocks for drifts, grizzley blocks forstope,, chute sides. pillar and jaw blocks, andthousands of blasting spacers, to name justa few.

The big producer is the massive double-end framing machine seen in the first of theaccompanying photographs. With twovertical and two horizontal saws on each sideit cuts horns on both ends of a piece oftimber in one backward and forward pass ofits carriage. When the square-set methodof mining was first introduced at Frood,timber for the .sets was cut by hand saw.A gainer u as soon put to work on the job.and then a single-end framer was installed,to h followed by the rloublr-cnd ma"hil:e.

All-Time All-Inco Safety Record by Coniston

An all- time all -Inco safety record of 232,769 consecutive shifts without a lost-time accident was established by ConistonSmelter during the period from August 9, 1951 , to March 4, 1953. The previous record of 227,965 safe shifts was held by Coniston.In setting the spectacular new mark they collected their eighth 100,000 -Safe-Shifts -Award since 1944. Seen above with Superin-tendent Fred Murphy, who expressed his congratulations and thanks for this splendid safety performance, are representatives ofthe various departments in the plant : front row, left to right, W.

Elizabeth I, seated in the Coronation chair , receives from the Lord of the Manorof Worksop a scarlet glove which it is his ancient right to present to the Sovereign.The glove is donned just before the Scepter is placed in the royal hand. Queen Besswas crowned on Sunday , January 15, 1559 , at the age of 25. Elizabeth II will be 27when she is consecrated with the same age-old ceremony at Westminster Abbey onJune 2.

The two central arches symbolize Heredity and Independence . The cere-monial Crown is worn but once in the lifetime of a sovereign and then only for a fewmoments. On the right is the Imperial State Crown with the arches slanting upward,an ensigne of empire . This is the most valuable royal crown in existence . In the centreof the hand is the 317 - carat Cullinan Ii diamond , the second largest diamond in theworld . .-above it, the great ruby of the Blare Prince.

The story is told that the first time babyPrince Charlie s aw his mother, the youngQueen Elizabeth, posing for a photographerin her diamond tiara, he chuckled and point-ed and asked. "What's that funny hat, Muni-lily?"

When he sees his pretty "mummy" in herregal red velvet robes, wearing the ImperialCrown of State that flashes with nearlythree thousand diamonds and carrying thescepter in her slender hand, his small headwill probably be too full of wonderment forasking questions. But the picture of hismother on her Coronation Day is sure tostay with him so long as he lives.

The last reigning queen of Great Britainhad no little boy to gaze on his motherwith love and astonishment when she wascrowned. Victoria was only eighteen andunmarried at her Coronation and her nearestliving relative was her mother. The firstElizabeth was twenty-five when she wascrowned four centuries ago. Never married,the "Virgin Queen" had not even her motherto watch her take the throne.

World Will See CrowningElizabeth II will be crowned at Westmin-

ster Abbey on June 2, next. Inside the greatgrey Abbey Church, few Canadians will wit-ness the proceedings, although many will goas tourists and watch the Coronation pro-cession from wooden grandstands. The restof us will see the crowning on television, innewsreels and through pages of pictures inpapers and magazines.

This will probably be the greatest Coro-nation pageant given any queen in Britishhistory. The ceremony will be well rehears-ed with replicas of the royal regalia. TheBritish Crown Jewels are the most valuablein any collection in any royal treasury. In-cluding at least seven magnificent crownsbesides scepters, orbs, swords, spurs, rings andbracelets, there are about sixty pieces alltold. The total value has been estimated ashigh as $80,000,000.

Some of the individual gems, however, arevirtually priceless. The historic Koh-i-nooris the most famous diamond in the world.The Black Prince's ruby, now in the frontof the State Crown, has historic value quiteapart from pounds and pence. In the RoyalScepter sparkles the Great Star of Africa,the biggest cut diamond in the world, weigh-ing 530 carats-as big as a Seckel pear. Also,there's its sister stone, most often called theCullinan II, which weighs 317 carats andwas cut from the same huge diamond crystalthat produced the Great Star of Africa andmore than a hundred other finished gems.The Cullinan II is in the band of the StateCrown, and the third and fourth pieces arein Queen Mary's Crown,

Two Crowns Are Needed

Since the Coronation of Charles II in1661, the British monarch has been crownedwith two crowns. One is the historic Crownof St. Edward, U, ed only at the Coronation;the other is the "Sunday" Crown, used forthe opening of Parliament and other stateocca.'nnns.

During the Second World War, the regaliawere taken to Windsor Castle for safekeep-ing. And just in time! A "doodle-bug"bomb hit a nearby building and smashed to lfragments the great glass case in which theobjects were exhibited. At Windsor, themost precious of the gems, including the : + JKoh-i-noor diamond, were pried out of theirsettings with a pair of scissors, stuck into ajam jar and buried in a potato field. TheCrowns, wrapped in newspaper and packedin old-fashioned leather hatboxes, werestored in a passage under the castle. Thefar end of the passage opens into SherwoodForest-something that would have surprisedRobin Hood!

Queen May RememberWhen Elizabeth was a child Princess at

Windsor, she and her sister were taken downby their governess to see where the Crownswere being kept-the battered boxes in thecold gray vault. Perhaps the young Queenwill remember that adventure when thegreat State Crown is placed on her head inWestminster Abbey. Perhaps the picture ofthe old leather hatboxes in the undergroundgloom in a time of terror will hover beforeher eyes as she looks on the brilliant pompof her Coronation Day. And perhaps thetwo scenes will blend together to symbolizefor her the story of her people.
