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, 0--0--0 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. 0--0--0 A jovial Christmas season has just passed but Hollywood is mourning two distinguished stars in the persons of Charles Laughton and Thomas Mitch- ell.

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. Huron FOA Reps.
