With a captivating smile, a gracious wave, her majesty en- th r a 11 e d a dignitary -studded erawd which packed the festival theatre. Two rounds of applause paid tribute to masterful presentation by the Stratford players but the audience reserved its most spirit- ed accolade for the Queen her- aelf as she stepped backstage to meet the cast. Her diamond tiara sparkled brilliantly in the shower of light under which she walked on the stage. As the applause grew, she turned slowly, lifting her hand in appreciation and ack- nowledgment of an affectionate display of loyalty. Minutes later, as she returned, to leave the theatre, another, warm tribute arose from the! standing crowd. It was a memorable night. We were privileged to be there. I From the beginning it had the , aura of excitement -royal excite- rn ent. All along the banks of the Avon and the route to the theatre, crowds were forming the passageway for the royal; ear. At the theatre, the air of an- ticipation intensified, abetted by the arrival of wealthy patrons and dignitaries of the theatre. Long limousines delivered strik- ingly dressed women and men to the festival entrance. In s 1 d e, four cream -colored seats symbolized the event. Even before the Queen and her party; arrived, eyes focussed on this small section of the theatre; which stood out strikingly from the rows of dark -colored seats. j The mounting buzz of the waiting crowd was temporarily halted when the area was flood- lit for photographers preparing' to picture the queen as she Used Farm Machinery!

The crowd watched amused as a thin, gray-haired man, in charge of the group, staged a mock performance of the queen descending the stairs. Then the trumpets blared and the crowd arose, hushed, turn- ing as one to watch the ent- rance, step by step. With her was David M. Rae, festival foundation chairman, who usher- ed her to her seat, then crossed behind to his on her right. The prince sat by the Queen, Mrs. Rae on the outside. The cannons boomed. Then, for many of us, it was the first time to sing the national anthem with the subject of the prayer present. We were sealed in the first 4-H youths visit OAC Eight busloads of 4-H inernbers from Huron county will visit OAC, Guelph, Thursday in an all -day tour, The group - expected to num- ber nearly 300 - will tour the! college grounds and buildings in , the morning, then inspect the, barns and experimental plots in the afternoon.

Two of the eight busloads will row of the balcony from where it was not difficult to see the royal couple. The queen's dia- monds sparkled throughout the performance as the stage lights followed the action, Prince Philip was barely seat- ed when he took a quick look at the unique upper structure of the festival building. It was !later reported he enquired with interest about its structure. The prince obviously enjoyed the presentation, applauding fre-i quently, watching much of the! time leaning forward in his seat, his chin cupped in his hands. Wtih each break in the play, each applause, the audience, turned as a group to watch the i couple -and usually found Philip'. clapping. The queen was less de- monstrative, looking frequently at her program. We seriously doubt some re- ports that she dozed, although this would have been excusable, since her day must have been! .an exceedingly tiring one visit- ing six cities. Philip joined in the laughter of the audience during the more comical parts of the play. At one point, be bent well over the railing in front of his seat "to see what was on the end of a fishing line which one actor had thrown ri down an • exit. During the second half, the queen joined her husband in the applause and they exchanged comments more freely. Then came the finale and they • both wore broad smiles as they clapped heartily. Three mem- bers of the festival company quickly placed a ramp leading to the stage and bowed to the queen before making an ex.it. The queen descended to mount- ing applause, sustained as she, crossed the stage, reaching a new peak when she turned to! wave. The crowd remained standing: as she left the theatre. Philip recognized several persons on'. burst into the sky with the bril- liancy which had marked the evening. The play, we trust, was pro- 4phetic about this royal visit, I whose start was marred with complaints, indifference and poor taste. The queen will yet prove "All's Well That Ends Well."

"This is why farmers must get together and ,press for deficiency payments. No doubt there is still much re- search to be done here, but far- mers must not sit idly by and do nothing," he said, "Consumers have been told that they will be taxed to pay for deficiency payments. In rea- lity, they will be paying for their food, a price which bears a fair relationship to the other goods and services they buy, Why should they, pay high. prices for cars, etc., and then hope to buy cheap food at the farmers' ex- pense?
