Consider Now, These 12 Months Of Change

By DONALD EDGAR

IT was a moment to remember when the voice of the Queen came from a tape-recorder to tell the great crowd at Cardiff Arms Park that

she was creating her son Prince of Wales.

It was a moment to remember, for the Queen, in making bold use of a comparatively new invention to make an important state announcement, was proving, her liveliness of mind, her capacity to understand the use of new inventions and a determination to keep the Monarchy a flexible instrument.

Our kings and 'qübens, in ciele of the daughter of the our long history, have nade noblilty or the daughters of the stirring addresses 10 their rich. armies ho they lo them to battle....they have addressed Iler dinner parties, like her crowds from the battlements of lunch castles....they have
