anadian Proud-- » i LONDON (CP)-- Chatting with the Queen is exciting but singing to her is even better. So says Ed- mund Hockridge--and he's had a taste 'of both. "Yes, I think the most thrilling part was to step out and sing direct to the royal box," said the Vancouver-born baritone, re- c "his appearance early in November in the royal variety program at London's Coliseum. It was the first appearance in a command show for the tall, 34- year-old' Canadian, who has been touring Britain for the last three years in the American musical "Carousel." And there was no mistaking his identity as the lone Canadian among the 450 artists on the royal program. He appeared in the first acl id busy Trafalgar Square a corner of Canada House peeking from the wings, dressed the uniform of the RCMP. On cue, he stepped to the foot- 1 in his scarlet tunic and sang 3 Song of Dawn." In the finale, Hi e was awarded the honor of singing the national anthem PRESENTED TO QUEEN He Sang To Queen bers of the cast presented fo the ueen, the Duke of Edinburgh and rincess Margaret and he chatted with all three. : With the Queen he spoke of his brother, Sgt. Ralph Hockridge of Victoria, who was a member of the RCMP party which escorted the royal couple during part of their 1952 Canadian tour, To Prin- cess Margaret he chatted about 'Carousel." The princess saw the show, with Hockridge in the lead, during its run at Drury Lane Theatre Royal in 1951. It was with the Canadian Army that Hockridge first saw London in 1940. He had roles with the BBC before he returned to Canada for discharge in 1946. He sang in Cana- dian radio and was called back to Britain in the autumn of 1951 with his English wife, Eileen, and son, Ian, now nine years old. To date Hockridge has played in 1,300 performances in the musical about carnival life. Squeezed in be- tween there have been radio, tele- vision and recording dates. ; But the close acquaintance with {the character of the barker, Billy Bigelow, is due to end.

NEW YORK (AP)--Manufacture slowed down this week, although the overall U. S. economy contin- ued to show impressive evidence of solid strength.

Firm spots included construction which employs more people than 31% ther industry in the United Government forecasters said con- struction outlays in 1954 will come within two -per cent of this year's record rate. While home building may decline, expenditures for pub- lie projects are expected to con- tinue at boom levels.
