Sinclair* and proved in over 100 towns and vil lages that people are interesting when they are themselves. Nobody on this show is coached on what to say nor are they directed in how to say it.

There are no elaborate prizes, no trick questions, no conscious effort to be funny. Sinclair and Savage have no profound message with which to stir you, no trick ques tions to confound you and no morals to preach. They think, and have proved,- that there are things about rural Ontario which folks up and down the country enjoy hearing. Audience polls prove tihem right.
