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 Show Biz 1 By Vonni Ler 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! 0--0--0 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. 0--0--0 Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, otherwise known as Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, really added a glow to the 'Phone cilEcK t yTHE l Jj,/f5INEYERV NEW BRAKES!

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. 0--0--0 • 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. -11 �IEl7.11EP[✓d� �tnd uhMU16_ i Note to newlyweds: as surely as love and marriage go together, need for family security follows immediately.

CONRON, CLU Insurance Agency S. A. SCOTT, Salesman JOHN STREET Dial 357-2636, Wingham (Advertisement) 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.
