Itinerary

Their Majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, announced last week the official itinerary of next spring's American tour: 45 days from Plymouth to Plymouth. Disembarking from H.M.S. Repulse at Quebec on May 15, they will spend 29 jampacked days seeing and being seen in Canada from coast to coast, sandwich in four days on U. S. soil, wave final farewells to St. Johns, Newfoundland, June 17.

Trip advisors, knowing well the royal ardor on official jaunts, insisted on rest periods at Banff, Victoria and Jasper Park. Their Majesties will deftly escape ticklish social problems by living on their train most of the way, by holding no royal courts. They may, however, hold a garden party in Ottawa--the next best thing.

No itinerary was announced for the U. S. visit--that being left to the U. S. State Department.

Trip's most conspicuous omission (to date): a visit to the King's wards, the Dionne Quintuplets, at Callander, Ont.
