(CP)
Canada's
twentieth
parliament
opened
today.
Indicative
of
the
return
to
peace
was
the
display
of
pomp
and
ceremony
common
to
all
openings
of
parliament
in
pre-war
days,
but
absent
during
the
long
war
years.
However,
it!
was
not
a
complete
return
to
peacetime
ceremony
as-
many
of
the
frills
were
missing.
Back
on
schedule
was
the
custom
of
having
a
guard
of
honor
for
the
governor-general's
arrival
at
the
Parliament
Buildings
for
the
opening
ceremony.
Dressed
in
the
uniform
of
a
major-general,
the
Earl
of
Athlone
was
given
a
royal
salute
by
the
guard
on
arrival
while
a
19-gun
salute,
boomed
from
outside
the
city's
limits.
Commons
members
took
a
blanket
oath
today
on
the
floor
of
the
house
and
then
signed
the
official
roll.
On
completion
of
formalities,
both
houses
adjourned
until
the
formal
opening
at
3
p.m.
The
Speech
from
tke
Throne
called
for
the
creation
of
a
dis

and
the
use,

of
