BUSY DAY FOR PRINCESS
PARADE, BANQUET AND BALL (Rec. 10 p.m.) KINGSTON, Feb. 21. Princess Margaret rested this morning before beginning a strenuous halfday attending military displays, a formal dinner, and a ball. Late this afternoon she will go to Up Park Camp to watch troops and police go ...through their paces, then on to a banquet at King’s House. The ball is being held at University College, where the Princess will be received by her cousin, Princess Alice, who is Chancellor of the University. Princess Alice has been in Jamaica since January 17 for the three-hun-dredth anniversary celebrations of Jamaica’s status as a British colony. Today, Princess Margaret had the opportunity to play a calypso record presented to her during a reception on Saturday. The calypsos were written specially for her by “Sir Horace and his Merry Knights”—Horace Abrams, a Kingston liquor salesman. When they played to her at a reception, Princess Margaret was obviously delighted and tapped her feet to the bouncy rhythm.
