Main Text
Diningroom [sic] where the Queen and Prince Philip will take their meals in relaxed privacy has restful turquoise blue walls and furniture, bronze damask upholstery and drapes. Corridors in the royal coaches are Canadian oak and the drawing-room is in curly birch. Mr. Notley, in his 33 years aboard the Governor-General's railway cars, has served many distinguished visitors, among them Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, France's President Auriol and Winston Churchill.
