It's better to be gaining exec. ricnce and getting a following, making a name for yourself than ;iust wasting time," That's just what Bob is doing, this season, as singing star of Showtime and with these added dramatic roles. Next time the contracts are handed out he'll probably get one on his own terms.

The Exeter youth, who flew to the Bahamas on January 1, pitched in to help citizens save boats from smashing against docks during 'a hurricane. He met a Canadian who assisted him in getting employment. Ted is now assistant manager of a men's club in the islands. . Ted described the storm in a recent letter to his mother; "Friday, a hurricane hit Nas- sau without warning. The local Bahamians said it was the worst they have ever seen this time of year. "The gale blew up to 75 miles per hourand because there was no warning signal, over 50 fish- ing boats, launches and native sailing, boats were smashed to pieces and sunk off the west dock. • They have started a fund to help the boogs out because of the heavy losses. "I was at the docks watching them trying to keep the boats clear and I pitched in and help- ed. I got soaked' but it was worth it because I met a Can- adian who got me a job."
