Seats for king and queen in legislature await. Planned many weeks ago; in process of careful construction ever since; the special chairs upon which King George and Queen Elizabeth will sit in the Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park; are now completed. Hon. Norman Hipel thought of the idea-that the Speaker's chair which; by tradition; would be his property when he finally retired from that office; and the new one being built for his successor; James Clarke; be appropriately upholstered and decorated for the use of their majestics. A royal blue drape; emblazened with crowns of gold; from Westminister Abbey; covers the panels and seats of the 300-pound mahogany chairs; each intricately carved. The chairs were made by the Rawlinson Furniture Co.
