Well, if it's a fight they want, let's give it tQ them, Tom Pude has been campaigning for the school for over a year. He's asked Huron county •council for its support and has received it. But one resolUtion and one delegation may not be enough. The county should flood Queen's Park with petitions to show how much. we want, and need, that school. That's What the other. areas are •doing. Two weeks ago, this newspaper urged municipalities, service dubs and all organizations in the county to back Mr. Pryde's campaign. A similar ap- peal was made by the Huron Exposi- tor, Seaforth, the following week. So far, however, we know of only one group that's given its support That's the Zurich Lions Club. .A legislator can't get very fat in an campaign if he has only a few resolutions behind him. There's no doubt all municipal of- ficials and. organizations in Huron are backing the 'campaign, morally at least. But unless their views get to Toronto, the provincial, government won't know about it. This $.20,000,000 school is too im- Letters • • In recent weeks, The Times - Advocate has been pleased to receive and publish an imreasing number of letters -to the editor.

The' Queen Here is the correct way to pre- pose—,and respond—to the Toastto the Queen, The 'authority, and the highest DU this subject, is the Comp- troller of the Lord High Chamber- lain's office, St, James Palace, London, England. •Thechairman of the meeting at Which both ladies and gentlemen are present raps once with his ,gavel, and. having obtained silence, says: "Ladies and gentlemen, The Queen" and no more, The audience • then stands at attentierr •while the national anthem is being played or ,sung, Only then is the glass lifted from the table and held for a moment at eye level. Either before or after drinking one sip of the liquid, the words "The Queen" are repeated and the glass is replaced on the table. The audience will then. sit down. None other than the foregoing constitutes the approved form. Should there be only men in attendance then. the salutation will be, "Gentlemen, the Queen. The corresponding varia- tion will be made only when ladies are present, All such introductions as "Will you rise and drink a toast to Her Majesty, after which we will sing one Verse of the national anthem" are ImpropetIt is incorrect to hold the glass in One's hand while singing the national anthem, Probably the roost m111110h and worst blunder is for members :of the ?audience to click glasses together when proposing the toast." . . portant to take a complacent attitude about. It could be the shot in the arm which Huron needs to expand indust- rially. Besides, the staff of several hundred A requires could provide employment for many people in this area. It may have been wise to hold back the petitions before, but the time is ripe now to launch the assault, Let's go after it. Profit Move (Industry) Once upon a time there was a cow who thought. She thought her farmer was making too much profit on her milk. He provided her with a comfort- able barn and stall, hay and grain, but she wanted more. So she held back her milk. The farmer, in despera- tion, threw in some more hay and oats, and the cow gave her milk again, No more milk—to pay for the extra feed—but just the same amount. The cow liked her new sense of power, so pretty soon she went on strike again. Once more, the farmer increased her feed. So once again she gave her Milk—but still in the Same quantity as before. Finally, the farmer found he was paying out more for feed for the cow than he got for the sale of her milk. The cow became hamburger, and the farmer quit' farming and went into another business. All of which goes to prove that there is, after all, such a thing as "eat- ing your head off." Not Done (Financial Post) . • All friends of Britain have been delighted by the new Prime Minister's* courageous and optimistic approach to the tough proble s he inherits. • Despite his rong record of public service in high posts, Harold Mac- millan was not a familiar figure to the public in overseas countries. People did not feel that they knew him is they knew, or thought they knew, Sir Anthony Eden. They are pleased, per- haps even, a little surprised,to dis- cover that the patrician and intellect- ual Mr. Macmillan has exceptional vigor, decisiveness and faith in Brit- ain's greatness. • The inflitary venture. into Egypt may have shown, as many believe, that Britain, is- no longer'able to carry put important foreign policy decisions in- dependently; but this is not at all the same thing as saying that Britain is no longer a great and powerful nation. What are the elements of Britain's continuing greatness? First of all, there are her 50 million people with their deserved renown for skill, inventive- ness arid energy as traders. Then there is Britain's lively democracy, talent for teaching it to others, sound judgment in world affairs (the final verdict on Suez is still to be heard) and leader- ship in opposition to tryrannies. There is Britain's continuing re sponsibility ,for the welfare and pro- gress of millions in African and other lands emergingfrom colonial status. There is Britain's eminence in litera- ture, art, science and law. But Britain has not always been a solo performer on the world stage. Britain's strength has lain, to a large degrde, in partnership with like-mind- ed states. The, Commenwealth, linking India and Pakistan to the West hi: a unique bond; is still lusty and useful even though: its members use their freedom to disagree. Anglo-American friendship, which necessarily.ineans an interaction of influence, remains a fact. Britairi'slorestige in West Europe, with which her links may be strength- ened, is still formidable. The Writish people have abundant reason for self-confidence and their new political chief is to be applauded for reminding them of the -fact, be txtter TimeOt.abijocatt. ?Wei Established 1e3 Amalgamated 1924 Advocate Ettablished 181 ' Published Each Thursday Morning af Strafford, Ontario An indooandint Newspaper' Devoted to the Interests of the ,Town of Exeter and District Authorized' AS Second tIIISS Mail, Post Office DepartMint, Ottawa MEMBtRt Canadian Weekly Newspaper Assticiation, Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association and Audit Bureau of CircUlation.

On that trip. all the landmarkswere clearly visibleand were pointed out to. us. We even sent a message by air to W. Tuckey, who WAS, then reeve of Exeter. They say ,down here 4gyou. get sand in your shoes" and want to. tome back and I guess there is something to it. W.hen that cold spell hit -Ontariothe latter part of January I felt Florida calling. and I made reservatiens to fly T.C.A. We boarded a plane at Lon, .don at 7.15 .a.m, and at eight n'elock we were at Mallon air- port. One, has to, spend some time around an Airport just to realize how much air travel there is. The first thing we did was to take out travel insurance and I was, agreeably surprised at the rate of $1.00- for .$25,400; $Z for $50,000 and $5:00 for $125,- 000, I paid the gentlemanat the counter $2 and figured 1 would be worth -moredead than alive. When we boarded the plane at' London the stewardess brought us a wide variety of reading material including the morning Paper to choose from. Next we were asked if we cared for hreokfast. Those who did were brought a tray of cereal,' toast and coffee. I settled for coffee AS T had breakfast .before leav- ing borne. Aboard. The plane at Toronto. just before DOA.

The thing that surprised me,, ularly after a trip to 'the coal. pent, was that .everything was free and there was no tipping. The plane we boarded. at To- ronto was a North Star, We climbed 18,000 feet into the Air And looked. down on the clouds below us. Occasionally there was a. break in the clouda and we, could see land or -water be- low.
