By MARIAN 00! Nearly 9,000 youngsters pack- ed the coliseum at the Provm- cial Exhibition Grounds yester- day to give the Queen and Prince lip a tumultuous welcome. A tremendous outburst of cheers and applause greeted the Queen and Prince Philip as they arrived for the Children's Rally amid a sea of fluttering flags. Adding to the occasion was the surprise appearance of Pon- derosa chief Ben Cartwright, who spoke to the children prior to the arrival of the Queen. and sang a number of songs.

As he spoke his warm casual. manner brought a bush over the‘ gathering. who hung onto every word of their hero.

The moment he sat down again. however. the cry arose. “WE want Lorne Greene! We want Lorne Greene!" The chant swelled to an almost deafening crescendo. and Mr. Greene again stepped up to the microphone to lead an exhuberant rendition of “Alouette.”

Mr. Greene. dressed in West- ern garb a is Ben Cartwright. was accompanied by his wife.

The Queen said in Prince Ed- ward Isiand she knows the song and can make the appropriati- whistling. honking and snorting noises that are an integral part of it, but daren't do so when she's wearing a tiara.

"This surely is one of the most human remarks she has ever made in public." The Mir- ror says in an editorial. “She ought to make more like it.

“Many people admire the Queen for going ahead with her Canadian tour despite threats to her safety. And everyone will warm towards her for making this delightfully feminine aside about an old English classic.

“All The Mirror can add is: Why not sing the song anyway?
