The train was right on time and when it pulled in the welcoming party which consisted of mayor Warriner and mrs. Warriner Mem Bers of his family Alderman Thomas Flye and mrs. As Well As others boarded the train. They were introduced to the Star of the occasion by her manager Jack Sherill. Mrs. Durbin a same Smil ing woman was her daughter. Welcome from crowd then came the Welcome from the crowd. Deanna looking for All the world like a Small Bunny that was being pursued her Way with the party through the Tunnel to the hotel and up by private elevator to the vice regal suite where a breakfast was Laid.

I thank you from the Bottom of my heart i regret that time makes it impossible for me to Greet every said Over the radio and. She repeated these sentiments in the office. Mayor Warriner he wished today we present his majesty As an officer in the Royal air Force As Well As in the uniform an Active officer during the War years. Though the then Prince Alberten tired the flying of the fight ing forces Only after ill health forced him from the seas he had come to love no More enthusiastic recruit Ever in february of 1918, with the struggle in France still dragging on with mighty strides taking place in the development of aviation Prince Albert became a Birdman recruit perhaps to rid themselves of the persistent seeker after War jobs since the Navy was barred to him after his serious operation of 1917, the High command assigned the. Prince to the Royal air station at Cranwell where he was to learn something about the Fly ing of the Navy. He welcomed the Opportunity to be working again among men who knew the Navy and its language even if their interests were in Dif Ferent the exigencies of War the naval flying Branch was soon amalgamated with the flying corps to become the Royal air Force. Prince Albert moved into the . With the rank of Cap Tain. The War was soon to end but before the armistice was signed the flying Prince had managed to work his Way into Active service As he had in the Navy serving with sir Hugh Trenchard s staff in France with at Nancy. Then with characteristic thoroughness he plunged into Post War activity working at the air minis try in London and amassing in the course of a few months an amazing knowledge of government departmental routine As Well As added flying theory. In july of he won his Pilot s License in August he was named a Squadron Leader of the . And later in the same sum Mer he bade a final Farewell to Active branches of both the Navy and the . The press of pub Lic duties which were making it increasingly necessary to devote his to official work forced the change., then to him As to hundreds of other officers came the necessity of leaving the service and plunging into the Job of rehabilitating a War tired world. Next after the War Deanna would come Back to give a concert so that Winnipeg could really show How proud it was of her. Come again and beamed Aldarman Flye. And so the official reception for an amazing Little girl . She could go and sit on her Granny s knee and Tell her How she had missed her. But she had to be away again in 24 hours. Those picture and radio assignments Beckon. She has a Public to think about now. Arid it is not Likely that the Public will Jet her forget them for a Good Many years to come.

Shrieks of merriment came through the rooms of the Little cot Tage As Deanna s found a rest ing place in the neck of one of her uncles. She had not seen Snow for a Long time and was making up for lost time. It was a different picture from that the movie and radio Star made earlier when she had been officially welcomed to the City. She consented to pose for pictures with Granny for the free press while Granny beamed and was As she said herself very very Happy. I Haven t been out of the House since i went Down and saw the free press pre View of Deanna s she told the reporter. But this is better than looking at Deanna in a the re Porter ventured. Said Granny it certainly is and she snuggled her grandchild closer to Deanna beamed happily All the while. She would like to sing in opera she said and the metropolitan would be wonderful. She has no favorite roles. Just to sins one of the celebrated musical heroines would be delightful enough to her.
