I was both surprised and pleased at the entertainment provided by The Billy Van Four on Parade last week. It seemed almost impossible that four people who have become known as singers only, could perform a half-hour of variety and command the attention of the audience with every act. The group was organized and is led by, Bill Van Evera who used to sing with another Tor- onto group, The Four Grads. Lead singer in the group is Patti Van, who has one of the finest soprano voices in Canadian show business. Primarily, they are considered a jazz quartette, but on this show, they perform- ed everything well, from jazz, to ballads, to vaudeville rou- tines, to comedy, as in Patti's song "I'm in Love With Foster Hewitt" written especially for that show. I've always thought these kids were good; now I'm more impressed than ever. When the half-hour came to a close, I was wishing it could continue forever. 0--0--0 Bob Hope failed again in his third show of the season on Sun- day evening. His monologue was good, as always, but the skits were unoriginal and not very funny. And by no means, did they show the tremendous comedy talent of either Martha Raye or the star. Dean Martin sang nicely and was always a joy to watch, but his appear- ances were much too infrequent to make much of an effect. What did dominate the produc- tion, were the presentations of the TV Guide Awards, which are chosen every year by the viewing public. The popular choices for stars this year, are Carol Burnett, who defeated Loretta Young, Donna Reed, Lucille Ball, and Shirley Booth; and Richard Chamberlain, who won over Raymond Burr (Perry Mason), Red Skelton, Dick Van Dyke, and last year's winner, Vince Edwards (Ben Casey). Chamberlain plays the title role in "Dr. Kildare" and this is his first win. Strangely enough, the two winners, Carol and Dick, have been seen in each other's company lately. They weren't together that night though; Dick was with his best gal, Clara Ray, and Carol, as usual, was surrounded by a multitude of friends, 0--0--0 "Bonanza", for the second consecutive year, won for best Mrs. J. Warwick Dies at Residence Mrs. Lucy Gertrude Warwick, wife of John V. Warwick of Morris Township, died suddenly in her home at 10:15 a.m. on Monday, April 15, of a heart attack, at the age of 60 years. She had been a sufferer of acute asthma and resultant respiratory complications for a number of years. Mrs. Warwick was born Lucy Gertrude Bone, daughter of Henry and Lucy Bone of Morris Township, on June 23, 1902, and was married to John V. Warwick on November 28, 1923. She was a lifelong resi- dent of Morris Township. In addition to her husband, she is mourned by brothers George Bone, of Brussels and Russell Bone of Morris Town- ship, and a sister, Mrs. Wil- liam (Mabel) McMichael of Detroit, Michigan, as well as a number of nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends. Funeral service was held at the D.A. Rann funeral home, Brussels at 2:00 p.m. on Wed- nesday, with Rev. George Mitchell of the Bluevale Uni- ted Church, officiating. In- terment was in the Brussels Cemetery. The pallbearers were Glen Bone, Charles Brewer, George Brewer, Frank Garniss, Bert Hastings and Wilfred Warwick. The flower bearers were Keith Bone and Thomas Warwick. series, defeating "Ben Casey", "Dr, Kildare", Perry Mason" and "The Defenders". And the best new series award was won by "Beverley Hillbillies", the only show of the five nom- inees which is carried by the CBC. It was accepted by the four stars, Buddy Ehsen, Irene Ryan (looking much different than the 'Granny' she plays in the show), Donna Douglas and Max Baer Jr. The honours for the best single show of the year went to Bob Hope for hisChrist- mas Show from armed forces' bases in the Pacific. Among the shows he defeated were Danny Kaye's special with Lucille Ball, Mary Martin's 'Peter Pan', and Ben Casey's two-part drama of drug -addic- tion, "Cardinal Act of Mercy" with Kim Stanley, who I'm still hoping will win an Emmy. This gives television performers an idea of what the fans want and gives the fans a chance to have their say in the entertain- ment world. 0--0--0 Speaking of awards, let's switch now to another yearly event here in Canada -the pre- sentations of the Liberty Awards to Canadian performers. This year, the awards will be pre- sented on Ed. Sullivan's spe- cial show from the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto on Sunday, April 28th. In addition to the Liberty winners, his guests will also include Johny Wayne and Frank Shuster, who debuted with Canadian audiences; Xavier Cugat and his wife Abbe Lane; pop singer Connie Francis; comedian Jack Carter; and opera singer Jan Peerce. Among stars winning awards will be Wayne and Shuster (best comedy); Douglas Rain (best actor); Frances Hyland (best actress); Tommy Com- mon (best male singer); Juli- ette (best female singer); Don Gillies (best dancer); Fred Davis (best host). Canadian shows taking honours will be "Razzle-Dazzle" (best child- ren's show); "Parade" (best variety); "Festival" (best drama) CBC National News (best news); "Front Page Challenge" (best game show); and "Close-up" (best public affairs). Ed Sulli- van will receive a special award, for 'outstanding contri- bution to Canadian television'. Having been announced before- hand, the surprise is gone from these presentations, but it should be an entertaining show, so try to catch a peek at it. 0--o--0 Five more Hollywood couples have hit the headlines, either as divorce statistics or separa- tions. Singer Bobby Darin separated from his wife, actress Sandra Dee, with no mention of a divorce as yet. Actor Jim Hutton, who has become fam- ous as a comedian, playing opposite Paula Prentiss, filed for divorce from his wife, a non-professional. Jane Powell obtained a divorce from her husband of ten years, Pat Ner- ney, charging extreme cruelty; and Guy Madison (Wild Bill Hickok)'s wife, Shiela, was granted a divorce, when she charged that he gave more at- tention to his hobby, archery, than he did to her. They were wed in 1054 and have three children. Then came the news that surprised no one: Richard Burton and his wife Sybil, agreed to separate while prob- lems are worked out with Eliza- beth Taylor, who still claims she and Burton are 'just friends'.

Peter McLaren died on Friday, April 23rd. and his remains were laid to rest in the Wingham Cemetery on Monday after- noon. He was in his 94th year and was around the streets of Wingham only a very few days before his death. Mr. Schaffter is the newly appointed rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Wingham.
