POPULAR PRINCE

ibUR OF SCOTLAND

NO STAGE-MANAGING

• _ LbNDON, April 1. The Prince of Wales’ three-day tour of Scotland was undertaken in order that he might examine the response to an appeal lor social service on behalf of the unemployed. There was no stage-managing, with nicely-washed, selected hands for the Royal .shaking, but free movement among the crowds, the Prince specially attending pastime centres, including a rehearsal by boys preparing for a nigger minstrel concert.

When thri question was asked, “Why are black horses used for funerals ana white for weddihgS?” the Prince interjected “Why?” and joined in the laughter when told “To pull the carriages.” He watpHed a woman jiu-jitsu instructor’s bout with a mail, whom she easily defeated, and told her that it must be nice to be able to bring a man own to his knees so easily. He talked with members of a sports club bn fitness, saying lie had had to abandon riding and now could only play golf—and that badly. When he was three-quarters of an hour late at his destination, he explained tljat ho had slowed down his motor at every point on a 50-mile route where children had gathered, saying, “I like to’ see ,the. kiddies and hate to disappointthem by hurrying past.”
