His wife tells me that this play, titled "The Odd- ball", is Bern's first straight comedy script, so naturally he is a. Tittle worried since television comedy has e way .of never coming off. The story concerns an ex - salesman who decides to look after his home and children and leave the bread -winning to his. TV personality wife. Corinne Conley and Tom Harvey will star The second script which Slade leas also finished is his first adaption and is another comedy based on the novel "How To Make More Money Than Men". It has a tentative date for show- ing sometime in January. "He is hard at work on the third script. now," says Jill Slade, "which again is another complete departure from things like "Men Don't Make Passes". This is a straight drama called "Exhibition For A Dead Paint- er", which is a big -plot drama, a very strange, weird love story. He feels that this year he wants to try a lot of different things, experiment a little." It will be interesting to see bow these "departures" turn out. If his earlier plays are any in- dication then anything by Bernie Slade will be well worth watch- ing. On December 12, Gordie Tapp, Tommy Hunter, the Rhythm Pals end Denyse Ange begin a four - night stand at Churchill, Man. Juliette is not the only one to open her show to a studio audi- ence for a pre -Christmas tele- cast (incidentally, they tell me requests for tickets are coming In at a steady rate, so if you plan to attend the show it looks sow as if a ticket is imperative the 'tickets' are actually engraved invitations, and each lady in the audience will be pre- sented with .a rose, the TV star's 'emblem'). The other show which will have ail audience (for the sec end time in its five-year history) is the Dee, 9 edition of Open House. "To set the scene, Anna Cam. Bron and Fred Davis will arrive M a sleigh," says the producer, "and we will have a more elab- orate set than usual•" The theme of the show will be "seasonal cooking spectacular" and among those participating will be Lucille Blair, who is fa- miliar to viewers at London's 'At Home' show. Tickets for these special shows can be obtained by writing to either program at CBC, Box 500, Toronto. Joan Fairfax will be doing something special on Christmas Day, too, when she repeats her role of the principal girl in Wayne and Shuster's Mother Goose pantomime. She appeared with them in the televised ver- sion in 1957 and did the role in 1950 when it was a stage pre- sentation in London and , Mont- real. "It was my first profes- sional job," she recalls. King Ganam fans will be sad- dened to hear that ill health has forced him to give up the Coun- try Hoedown show. According to reports, King's doctor has ad- vised him that he requires an extended rest and therefore "by mutual agreement" Ganam and the CBC have terminated their contract. First student: "You look all broken up. What's the matter, churn?" Second student: "I wrote home for money for a study lamp." First student: "What about it?" Second student: "They sent the lamp."

It's the season for toy pingshopping , , , SAFE,toy Shop - With so many wonderful toys to choose from, perhaps too lit- Ue thought is gn to a youngster will ivebe safe playing with a certain toy. We think per- haps of a toy's color, .its durabil- ity, and the delight it will give a child. Let's think, too, of the most important thing of all, Is the toy a safeone? A study done by the Ontario Safety League, has brought opt some interesting facts, which should help parents in their shop- ping this year. Here is a guide to safe toy shopping: 1, Avoid fireworks, guns that shoot any missile, darts, chem- istry sets unless you supervise their use, sharp edged toys and toys with small dblparts. 2, Always teachetachachildren e how to use their toys. 3, Be sure to choose toys suit- able to the age of the child .. . NEVER give a toy that is' too "adult" to a young child. In the age group under two, toys should be too big to swal- low, light in weight, washable, have safe colors, and rounded corners and edges. Some sug- gestions are: Rattles, cuddly animals, floating toys, balloons, balls, take -apart toys, cloth books, blocks, toys to bang, and push -and -pull toys. From two to four, toys should induce physical play, train the eye and improve coordination. Presentation And, Dance FOR MR. AND MRS. RONALD MAWSON (nee Esther Lightfoot) Wed., Dec. 16 WEST McGILLIVRAY HALL Everybody Welcome Some' suggestions; push -and -pull toys, wagon s, wheelbarrows, playground equipment (use'under supervision), tricycles, modelling clay, hand poppets, blackboards, paint and crayon sets, Ikn the age group four to six,. or kindergarten age, toys should develop imagination and initia- tine, stimulate play with other children, and, in case of mobile toys, be sturdy and well balanc- ed, Suggestions: Play clothes, simple construction sets, :cars, trucks, planes, simple games, dell houses, small sports .equip- ment, boats 'and sand toys, Then; from six to eight, the beginning of the "hobby" age, as well las the .competitive age toys Which encourage individual interests and those which induce group play are both good. Sug- gestions: Carpenter lteols, good skates, play clothes, kits for playing store, bank, filling sta- tion, electric trains (marked with either CSA or UL seal), books, and easy model kits, Over eight years of age, toys should encourage' the chilli's changing and developing inter- ests. "Hobbies" will have a strong appeal, Suggestiens: Hobby equipment --photography, coin and stamp collecting, puppet shows, etc•, musical instruments, gym and sports equipment, science sets, model kits, weaving looms, sew- ing sets, table tennis, and games. All in all, toys are better - made and safer than ever be- fore.
