Buried at Windsor Castle
WINDSOR, England, UPi—Queen
Elizabeth II cast symbolic earth
upon the coffin of her grand
mother, Queen Mary, yesterday,
and saw the body committed to
the ages in the ancient tomb of
British royalty.

was buried beneath St. George’s
Chapel of Windsor Castle, beside

that prince of commoners, Prime

almost 60 years junior to the dead
Queen Grandmother, paid her
homage by sprinkling the earth
upon the coffin—just as she had
done 13 months ago for Eliza
beth’s father, George VI.

Stubbs £nd Quocco
At Fairbanks, 700
Miles from Barrow
FAIRBANKS, W)—Jesse Stubbs,
72-year-old friend of the late Will
Rogers, trudged in Monday with
his faithful dog Quocco on his trek
to Point Barrow, where Rogers
and Wiley Post met death.
He had covered 445 miles on
foot from Anchorage along the
Glenn and Richardson highways.
Ahead of his sentimental journey
are 700 miles of trackless wilder
ness.
But from Fairbanks, Stubbs
will not travel alone. Waiting for
him here is Mrs. Edith H. Clark,
middle-aged former employe of
the Alaska District Engineers of
fice in Anchorage.
Gray - haired Mrs. Clark has
vowed that she’ll accompany
Stubbs on the difficult part of
the trip from Fairbanks across the
lofty Brooks range and miles of
flat Arctic tundra to Point Bar
row.
Their goal is the spot near the
northern rim of the continent
where the plane carrying the
famed American humorist and
Post crashed a score of years ago.
They plan to pay their respects
to the two men there.
Mrs. Clark said she had never
met Stubbs but had planned a
similar expedition for two years.
When she heard the old timer was
heading to Point Barrow, she de
termined to join him.
“I have no hesitancy about
making this trip because before
I depart on it I will see that I
have made all the necessary pre
parations in food and gear,” she
said.
She has Stubbs’ permission to
join him, she said. Mrs. Clark
came to Alaska from Tennessee
six years ago.
