J 6'HONE .357 • 2670 WINGHAM, ONTARIO
By Vonni Lee
Have you ever felt, after a
television show has ended, that
a total hour of your precious
time has just been thrown to
the dogs? Well, that's how I
felt last Thursday evening after
watching Playdate's western
fantasy "The Cowboy and Mr.
Anthony". I have long enjoyed
the folk music harmony of its
stars, Ian Tyson and Sylvia
Fricker, and was looking for-
ward to seeing them in their
first dramatic roles. But that
is drama?? They both played
their acting roles well, and
'Tis

their singing was as good as
ever, but the subject matter,
even though it was fantasy, was
much to ridiculous to enjoy. It
was obvious that the playwright
had in mind the vocal talents
of the pair, but in that case,
wouldn't it have been more
entertaining to merely present
"An Hour with Tyson and Frick-
er" or something similar?
Murray Matheson as 'Mr. An-
thony' was delightful to watch,
but even he couldn't save the
day for that production! I hope
they smarten up and give those
kids some real dramatic roles so
they can really display their
talent!

As so often happens, this
week's specials came both on
the same evening when on
Wednesday, Bob Hope arrived
with his production at 8 p.m.
and the 'Phone hour began two
hours later at 10. Hope's was
his finest show this season,
with much better skits than he
presented last month. He
always features top -name guest
stars and this time was no ex-
ception. The music and fun
with the great Sinatra added
much to the show and Edie
Adams' appearance to intro-
duce the 1963 Deb Stars, must
have been heart-warming for
the fashion world to see, even
if she didn't sing. What really
dominated the show, were the
two skits, the swinging 'Hurn-
phrey Dacron' interview and
the sketch about 'Dr. Goulet'.
Young teenager Brenda Lee
showed her versatility beauti-
fully in her role as the inter-
viewer, and they made quite a
picture side by side: the great
established Hollywood star and
the up-and-coming rock -'n' -
roller. And at last someone
(leave it to Hope!) had the
courage to publicly make fun of
that awful recording of "Big
Girls Don't Cry"! Bob Goulet,
in the 'Dr.' skit, also showed
he could do comedy when
called upon, but even he
couldn't escape Bob's ad-libb-
ing and keep a straight face.
Another fine hour of comedy by
the funniest of them all, and
great as Sinatra is, he'll have
trouble doing for the Academy
Awards show what Hope did.

Hold Bazaar at T.C.W. Meeting
DONNYBROOK—The March
meeting of the U.C. W. was
held Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Hilliard Jeffer-
son, with a fair attendance.
Mrs. Stuart Chamney opened
the meeting with the theme,
"Praise Ye the Lord for His
judgement and mercy". After
singing a hymn, Mrs. Chamney
led in prayer.
Each member read a verse
of Scripture. Mrs. Ray Hanna
read the Scripture lesson from
Ephesians, chapter 2. Mrs.
Margaret Leddy gave the medi-
Hour with their duet arrange-
ments of some of the songs they
have recorded. They proved to
be a charming host and hostess
but surely they could have
learned some of their lines so
they wouldn't have had to
watch the cue -card so closely.
They are one of the cutest
couples in show business, and
each has strength as a single
also. There are two small
Lawrence sons at home, who
will no doubt follow in their
parents' footsteps. Getting
back to the 'Phone Hour, may-
be you didn't realize it but it
was a rare privilege for the TV
audience to hear the magnifi-
cent voice of Leontyne Price.
This is one of the greatest
voices in the Metropolitan
Opera right now, second only to
Callas or Farrell. And seeing
her in all her splendour and
jewels, it was difficult to pic-
ture her as a servant, which she
was as a young Negro girl in the
southern United States, before
she was discovered for the Met.

• Nashville, and apparently
ONLY Nashville, bade a sad
farewell to Patsy Cline, Cow-
boy Copas, and Hawkshaw
!Hawkins this week. That touch
of sarcasm is because of the
fact that publicity has been al-
most nil since they died in a
plane crash on March 6th. How
a world who finds so much en-
joyment in their type of enter-
tainment, can completely turn
their backs when show business
suffers such a loss, is beyond
me. Life goes on just as before
with not even so much as a few
words of tribute for people who
travelled millions of miles
each year to bring enjoyment
into others' lives. In fact,
when the crash occurred, they
were returning from a benefit
show in Kansas City, where
they had raised $3000. for
the family of a disk jockey kill-
ed in a car accident in January.
The crash, which wasn't dis-
covered until the following
morning, occurred in dense
forest near Nashville. The
only things which could ident-
ify the 'Grand Ole Opry' stars,
were bits of clothing, guitars,
and spangled jackets bearing
their names. All bodies laid in
state in Nashville; the caskets
were sealed and large photo-
graphs of each sat on the tops.
Joint funeral services for Randy
Hughes, owner and pilot of the
plane, and his father-in-law
Copas were held on the week-
end; rites were held for the
others later. And tragedy is
added to tragedy for Nashville.
the 'Jack' of another °pry duet
'Johny and Jack', lost his life in
an automobile accident while
on his way to attend services
for Miss Cline.
E
tation. Mrs. John Hildebrand
led in prayer.
Mrs. Chamney read the
minutes and Debbie Jefferson
received the offering. "Re-
joice the Lord Is King" was sung.
Mrs. Sam Thompson had
charge of the business. Cloth-
ing for the bale is to be taken
to the April meeting. Plans
were made to have a special
meeting in May and invite
other societies. Remnants had
been received and were for sale.
Mrs. Tom Armstrong gave a
reading, "Prayer for Every Day.'
Mrs. Sam Thompson read from
the study book, assisted by Mrs.
Margaret Leddy and Mrs. Tom
Armstrong, who gave Scripture
readings. A hymn was sung and
Mrs. Chamney closed the meet-
ing with prayer.
A bazaar was held at the
close in aid of the U.C. W.
Lunch was served by the hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Ernest Snowden
and Mrs. Gordon Naylor. The
April meeting is to be at the
home of Mrs. Tom Armstrong.
83rd Birthday
Celebrated
ST. HELENS—Colin McDon-
ald celebrated his 83rd birthday
on Sunday, at his home just
west of St. Helens. Mr. Mc-
Donald has spent the winter
with his daughter, Mrs. Eldon
Miller and Mr. Miller in Luck -
now.
All of his family were pre-
sent for the celebration, with
the exception of two sons,
Harry of Toronto and Earl of
London. There were 47 in at-
tendance.
Those from a distance were
Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Nichol-
son and family of Holstein, Mr.
and Mrs. Marvin McDonald of
Mitchell and Miss Darlene
French, also of Mitchell,
Congratulations are extended
to Mr. McDonald on this special
occasion.
Valuable Cows
ST. HELENS—Not many far-
mers are able to increase their
livestock as 13i11 McPherson has
in the past few weeks.
Three of Mr. McPherson's
cows have presented him with
a set of twin calves each.
ST. HELENS
Mr, and Mrs. Dan Rose and
David of Newmarket were
week -end visitors with Mr, and
Mrs. Harvey Webb.
Sympathy of the community
goes to Mr. and Mrs. Chester
Taylor and family, in the loss
of Mrs. Will. Taylor, on Sun-
day.
METZ ON MAT ALL
THROUGH HISTORY
The history of Metz, a busy
industrial city and fortress -
chain centre in France is re-
counted in the Encyclopedia
Americana. Its long life has
seen the town taken by Romans,
later by Attila the Ilun, then by
the Franks, much later by the
French, three times by the
Germans in the past century and
finally by the Americans in
World War Two.

Your Liberal candidate in
Wellington - Huron, William G.
(Bill) Tilden, has unshakeable
confidence in the Party's Leader,
Lester B. Pearson.
He feels that the qualities and
characteristics of this truly
great Canadian which have made
him respected by the United
Kingdom and our Allies, from
the United States to the multi-
tude of smaller nations, are the
qualities of leadership which are
needed in this critical moment
of the nation's history.
Lester B. Pearson has excep-
tional intelligence, high integrity
and steadfastness of purpose.
His great ability and foresight
have consistently guided him in
the .making of world -changing
decisions. He has been able con-
stantly to call upon these abili-
ties during his long period of
service as a Canadian represen-
tative in international affairs.
Canada needs Pearson now more
than ever before.
Indecision a n d instabilitiy
have no place in the plans
Lester B. Pearson has for the
future Government sof Canada.
A weak and indecisive govern-
ment I -as collapsed, Mr, Pear-
son is the man who can again
raise the name and status of
Canada in the Commonwealth
and internationally.
Personally, he is without
sham or dramatics in his ap-
proach to the public. The sound-
ness and value of his construc-
tive political intentions are be-
coming clearer as the campaign
progresses.
In the hope of stabilizing the
government of this country, your
Liberal candidate in this consti-
tuency urges you ---the voters of
Welington-Huron-- to speak de-
cisively and elect a Liberal gov-
ernment under Lester B. Pear-
son on April Sth.
