Reid had a small part in Shaw's Niagara-on-the-Lake summer theatre last year, "He was very good and f was proud of him, but when the season was over be came home and said he didn't think he'd be an actor `because actors don't think'." "What about me? queried his mother. "Don't I think." "Well, yes," he conceded, "but you're different, you're my mother." "My children aren't impressed with the fact I'm an actress but they are among my severest critics, They don't always ap- prove of the parts I play, and Robin, especially, hates it when I'm made up to look ugly." Reid, his mother thinks, may turn out to be a writer. "He writes very well , .. at least I think he does." When she commented that the children were doing well at school, seemed happy and well adjusted, it was pointed out to her that many of to-day's parents couldn't say the same. "Oh, I know," she answered, and I'm very thankful. When I hear about the difficulties some of my friends are having with their kids I shudder. So far, (touching wood) I've had few problems with either Reid or Robin." Reid attended private school but after four years decided to return home and attend a regular secondary school. Robin always travels with her mother to where Miss Reid is appearing in the theatre or making films. When asked is she had to work in Canada for less money than in the States she replied, "Of course. But I still make a good living here and I can be with my family." A reporter asked for what other reasons she accepted the part in Jalna. "Because I felt it was Kate Reid, Canada's most famous actress, considers her role.of mother to her two children as the most important of her life, Miss Reid, Paul Harding and other cast and crew Members of the Whitoaks of Jalna television series were guests at a CBC press reception hosted by CFPL-TV personnel for press and radio representatives of Western Ontario last week, At the mention of Reid and Robin Willis, 17 and 14 year-old children of Miss Reid, her face lights tip and she speaks about them with genuine, motherly pride. One of the good things about being in the Jalna series, she says, is that the three of them have been able to live together for the past year in their com- fortable, old, red brick house in Toronto with their much loved two dogs and two cats, Asked if she thought either of the children would choose a theatrical career, Miss Reid said she really didn't know. "The theatre is no big deal to them . . . they've lived with it all their lives." UWO prof talks at COAT Dr. John Robinson, of the bacteriology department at University of Western Ontario spoke about food poisoning at Monday night's session of the short course being offered to women at Centralia Agricultural College. He dealt with the misnomers of food poisoning and pointed out the difference between food poisoning and food-borne in- fections. Dr. Robinson also discussed sources of bacteria, the tran- smission of organisms, the dif- ferent foods attacked and con- trols to prevent food poisoning. He spoke in particular about botulism and staphyloccal and salmonella infections. He told of recent discoveries of afletoxins. These are a type of fungi and there is a danger of them being related to carcinogens. The speaker informed the ladies about the excellent protection given to Canadians by the Food and Drug Directorate in Ottawa and he gave a glimpse of what goes on behind the scene in its laboratory. Finally, Dr. Robinson offered some very simple but excellent advice: "If at all in doubt, throw it out." There are three sessions left in the evening course at the college at which all interested ladies may still enroll.

It's bloody hard work but I think the results are good." She said Reid and Robin had given up watching a movie to view the first episode of Jalna and that they had enjoyed it and liked her in the part. "I think that's a good sign." If the public and the critics see the results as 'good' another 13 episodes of the series will be produced after the original 13 are completed. Miss Reid plays a double role . . the part of the old Adeline, cratchity matriarch of the clan who lives to be over 100, and the part of the young Adeline, granddaughter to the old. To undergo the change of age over two hours is spent in make- up, "It's hard for me to sit still that long and it's very hard on the skin," Miss Reid said. "I was born with bags under my eyes and wearing that heavy makeup for 12 hours at a time doesn't help," + + + Paul Harding, who also stars in the series, as both the young and the aging Rennie, is known to London Little Theatre goers for his performances there in the early 60's. He won the Best Actor Award at the 1961 Dominion Drama Festival in the London production of 'I Am a Camera'. Since then, he has appeared in major roles on most of CBC-TV's series and also in the Broadway play 'Conduct Unbecoming', The Whiteoaks of Jalna is an all Canadian Production with an entirely Canadian cast and crew. The series is based on the books written by Mazo de la Roche about a legendary Canadian family over a span of a hundred years. tt et to (io 1.0 Fred Davis, affable 'old smoothie' of Front Page Challenge and Under attack was in London last week to tape films for the Under Attack show at UWO. He also attended a CBC press reception for radio and press representatives of Western Ontario, Mr. Davis recalled his summer at Grand Bend in 1942 when he played trumpet with 'Ontario's Best Band . . . the Modernaires', "I well remember it was a nickel a dance Monday to Friday and a 50 cent admission for Saturday night." He said he had good memories of playing that summer at Eric McIiroy's Casino dance pavilion. According to Mr, Davis, he rarely plays the trumpet now but does do the occasional 'fun guest appearance'. Not too long ago he was asked to be guest at a Toronto symphony concert, "I REMINISCING about his band-playing days in Grand Bend, Fred. Davis, CBC television star, talks with Gwyn Whilsmith at a recent press conference. Mr. Davis played trumpet with the Modernaires, billed as Ontario best band, during the summer of 1942. TV celebrity recalls playing in GB band practiced like heck," he said, "But it was still a good thing the orchestra could carry me along and drown me out oc- casionally." For their first performance at Grand Bend, the Modernaires donated their services free of charge. All proceeds were donated to the Canadian Wartime Board, Exeter branch, for the cigarette fund of overseas forces. Persons were allowed to lead the band on the payment of 50 cents and request numbers were played on contributing to the fund. Appearing on the same bill were Harry and Gertrude Hoff- man of Dashwood. The Times-Advocate reported that "as a result of the splendid concert the wartime fund was enriched by $121,03." quItemweeto TeetAa Sunday's regular chapel ser- vice was supplemented this week by a sing song Sunday evening presented by the Christian Reform Young People under the leadership of Dick Roorda, On Wednesday the Clinton Kinettes were on hand to serve tea to the residents and sing a few songs after the luncheon, During' the program a wheelchair was presented to the home by the Kinettes.
