Conversation with Al Gal­ braith a few weeks ago got around to color TV . . , Al clairned (naturally biased, I thought) that color TV was “beautiful” ... A recent shop­ ping trip took me to the foreign land of Michigan where I for the first time viewed color tel­ evision . . . and I agree with Al that it is beautiful . . . . Of course, the price of color television is still very much out of my range ... so, like everyone else, I found solace in picldng faults in the color re­ production . . ,reds weren't too vivid, I told myself . . . yellows were wishy-washy . . , blues and green were fairly natural,.. Deep down, though, I know that color television is the love­ liest thing since mink was first wrapped around milady . . . and a recent release from Maclean’s press seems to concur . . .

Country-western' music lovers will rejoice in the fact that slinging idol Tommy Hunter is reported to look 10 years young­ er via color television . . . hard to believe since I always thought Tommy appeared youthfully handsome in black and white...
