Mrs. Ross Vogan of Stratford.

The 'Phone Hour which fol-
lowed Ed's show on Sunday eve-
ning, gets my vote as the fin-
est show of the Christmas sea-
son. With the beautiful Jane
Wyatt as hostess, and such
great stars as Earl Wrightson,
Florence Henderson and Mil-
dred Miller, it was top enter-
tainment for the entire family,
And did you notice? This was
about the only presentation
that featured the true Christ-
mas story in its original form.
For this reason, Perry Como
was greatly missed throughout
Canada; he never failed us at
Christmastime,

Garry Moore, in his Christ-
mas show, brought back com-
edienne Dorothy Loudon for her
second appearance this season.
You'll remember her as the
gal who is being groomed to
take the place of Carol Bur-
nett. Seems that although
yours truly finds her no equal
for Carol, a great many people
disagree. She's been invited
back for many more appear-
ances before the end of the
season. By summer, she may
be the biggest thing in show
biz, at least, if he does for her
what he did for Carol.

A jovial Christmas season
has just passed but Hollywood is
mourning two distinguished
stars in the persons of Charles
Laughton and Thomas Mitch-
ell. Both succumbed to can-
cer this month in Hollywood.
Laughton, 63, was one of the
finest English character actors
to star on a movie screen, and
although he never made a hit
as a leading man, he became
one of Hollywood's most be-
loved stars.
The bride and groom are
friends of long standing, hav-
ing attended Holme's School
together in Turnberry Town-
ship, 62 years ago. Both fam-
ilies were pioneers of the dis-
trict.
