Greenery Makes
Home Echo with
Haag), Spirit
Did you ever notice that the
prettiest homes around the corn•
munity at Christmas are the
ones decorated liberally with
the green things of the season?
Their festive appearance is ob-
tained easily with proper dis-
play of such things as evergreen;
berries, seed pods and pine
cones.
These simple decorations
are readily available to most
everyone at no cost and to use
an old expression: "The woods
are full of them."
A trip into the country to
gather them can also be turned
into a pleasant excursion for
the whole family and a brief
rest period from the "getting
ready" for Christmas company
parties and holiday affairs.
One word of caution, how-
ever, Do not kill trees or
bushes, Prune carefully when
selecting your evergreens.
The Christmas tree, whether
large or small, should be the
centre of the decorations. Place
your tree in front of a window
so that its bright, cheerful glow
can be seen from within and
without. Decorate the tree
with balls of red, silver, blue
and green, strands of popcorn
and various decorations that
are saved from year to year.
Be sure to hang a rope of
evergreens, a spray or wreath
on your front door. These sig-
nify to many who pass your
home that you are celebrating
this joyous season.
A rope of evergreens re-
quires approximately four or
five yards of rope. The place
you plan to use it will deter-
mine the exact length. Next,
you'll need several shortlengths
of wire, short sprays of ever-
green, balls, bows, red berries
or bells. Place a bunch of ever-
green against the rope and
fasten in place with the wire;
repeat until the rope has been
completly covered. The rope
may be draped over the door
frame, mantel, or along the
stair rail. Pick out other spots
where additional decorations,
like berries, balls or bells will
add to the effectiveness of over-
all appearance.
Inconsistency is the only thing
women are consistent about.
Last week's 'Parade', which
presented the talents of Phil
Ford and his bookie wife, Mimi
Hines, was perhaps a bit below
their 'usual high standard of en-
tertainment. Although it
showed Mimi as her same ver.,
satile self, the Japanese scene
could have been funnier. How-
ever, that's my only complaint;
the dramatic scene with which
they closed the show was great.
But why, ph why, does she
stick with comedy when she
could become a leading opera-
tic soloist with that gorgeous
voice? Her rendition of the
aria "0 My Beloved Daddy" was
the highlight of the show. •
Here's another thought: Why is
the team called 'Ford and
Hines'? Mimi is, beyond the
shadow of a doubt, THE star;
without her, there could be no
act,

Many young things who were
contemplating a career in the
ballet, have perhaps changed
their minds after seeing last
week's 'Camera Canada'. A
look into the inside lives of
"The Looking -Glass People",'
convinced us that the glamor-
ous life of a prima ballerina
isn't really all glamour, after
all. M with anything worth-
while, there is much hard work
and sacrifice involved in asuc-
cessful career in the ballet.
Long hours of rehearsal, plus
the strain of fatigue when tak-
ing a show 'on the road', de-
tract rather sharply from the
glamour and excitement dis-
played on the "Swan Lake"
stage. Lois Smith was the
prima ballerina of the show;
Earl Kraul partnered her in the
final minutes of the show. These
two will be back this week in a
real-life ballet on "Festival".
After seeing the work put into a
show like this, it will mean
twice as much to us.

"Quest" presented its best
show of the season with its" Evo-

this isn't saying much for it,
but it was truly a most enter-

Hold Dinner
For Council
BELGRAVE--Reeve and Mrs.
Clarence Hanna of East Wawa
nosh were hosts for the annual
dinner for the members of the
council on Friday evening.
At this time the members
of the council surprised Reeve
Hanna and Councillor Buchanan
with gifts of smoker sets. Both
men are retiring from service
this year after 11 years on the
council.
Mrs. Hanna was also pre-
sented with a lovely cup and
saucer,.
spirituals, The narrator and
singer of some of the songs was
Jon Hendricks, and why he isn't
better known, I'll never under-
stand. He's a fine performer..
Other singers were Eve Smith
and 'Big' Miller.

Wayne and $buster's second
show of the season on CBC, was
a corn aratively good peer for
their first show a month ago,
which I said never could be
equalled. One of their first at-
tempts at pantomime, Johny
Wayne pushed his partner far
into the background in the air-
plane sketch. He's good in
this art, but he still has far to
go to equal the greater stars in
the business. Their 'Professor'
bit, which is now a part of
each and every show they do,
was about the funniest they have
done; and their policeman story
was cleverly written, although
perhaps not as intricate as most
of their main stories. There's
no doubt about it; these two
are improving with age. They
can't get much better, though!

Gordon Sinclair finally came
up with something that Fred
Davis didn't know, on 'Front
Page Challenge'. Always the
calm, capable, know-it-all
moderator, Fred admitted this
week, just as calmly, that he
didn't have a clue when Queen
Victoria reigned. Well, it's
nice to know he's fallible like
the rest of us, but I have a feel-
ing that Gordon will never let
him forget this episode!

"Cleopatra", the much tack-
ed -about, multi-million dollar
movie which stars you -know -
who, is now going through a
major operation in Hollywood,
and will be ready for release in
June of '63. 20th Century -Fox
is the studio behind the whole
thing, and if it isn't a success,
it will be the end of one of the
largest studios in Hollywood.
The movie itself will run for
approximately four hours so
take some popcorn! And, al-
though no admission fee has
been announced, it is rumoured
that one will have to pay ten
dollars to get past the wicket.
One would have to see one
blockbuster for all that, wouldn't'
one? I would like to make two
predictions though:
(1) despite the public's dis-
like of Liz Taylor, people will
swarm to see the picture, more
than repaying the millions of
dollars spent to make it; and
that,
(2) unless public opinion un-
fairly deprives her of it, Eliza-
beth Taylor will claim her se-
cond Oscar in 1964, for her
portrayal of the Goddess of the
Nile.
I'm saying this early, so you
will have forgotten when they
turn out wrong!

Back to TV again. This
week will see a number of spe-
cials for the Christmas season:
Mr. Magoo's special, a Phone
Hour Christmas Show starring
Jane Wyatt, plus special offer-
ings of The Garry Moore Show,
and Ed Sullivan's show from
Armed Forces' Bases in the Cari
bbean with Connie Francis and
Carol Lawrence, among others.
And speaking of Christmas, may
1 crowd in my 2¢ worth and
wish you all a. Very Happy Holi-
day Season.
