éQueen will open PEI, Confederat

Canada‘s first memorial to ful. It has the simple lines oflways.

her founders—the Fathers of Confederation Memorial Build- ng in Charlottetown—will be officially opened tomorrow after- noon by Queen Elizabeth.

Tomorrow's event is the prii e reason for Her Majesty being :1 Canada and this week's Roi. J Visit provides a fitting climax for Centennial Year celebrations in the province.

During lhe past few months, work on the buildings has pro- gressed rapidly in an effort to have the memorial as complete as possible for the opening.

Called “a bcautiful express- ion of the event it commemor- ates." by Sir Basil Spence. an eminent British architect. the buildings honor the wisdom and courage of the men who met for the first time in Charlotte- town a century ago and laid the foundation of union.

'llie group of structures is ded- icated to the history and ira- ditions of Canada and to the future of t'anada on the tlii'cs- holri of her second century.
