Mrs Ingrid Christensen, who recently returned to Oslo with her husband and 17-year-old daughter, after taking part in the expedition which surveyed the Antarctic, is preparing at Sanje Fiord for another expedition to the same region, states an exchange. The last expedition sent out an aeroplane, in which Mrs Christensen accompanied her husband and dropped a Norwegian flag claiming the area for Norway. Mrs Christensen’s great ambition Is to explore the Antarctic by herself. She describes the silence there as the world’s greatest thrill. Queen Mary was televised as she sat in the Royal Box watching the AllEnglish tennis championships at Wimbledon. “Viewers" could see her quite clearly. And radio listeners this month heard her voice for the fourth time on the air. Queen Mary was laying the foundation-stone of the New Church House in Dean’s Yard, Westminster, and, though the rattling chains which put the stone in position somewhat drowned the first part of her speech, she afterwards raised her voice, and it could be heard, clear and flrm. as she pronounced the stone "well and truly laid.”
