These awards are given each year for outstanding performances on television within the past year. Here are some of the winners that are of interest to CBC viewers. My prediction came true when Kin Stanley was named 'best actress of the year' for her performance as the drug addict in the Ben Casey segment "A Cardinal Act of Mercy". Among those she defeated was Sylvia Sydney, whom we saw as the mother in last October's "Madman" episode on 'The Defenders'. Don Gordon, who played the title role in this pro- duction, was a nominee for 'best actor' award, but lost out to Trevor Howard, who had the title role in "The Invincible Mr. Disraeli" on Hallmark Hall of Fame. The "Madman" show, though, did win Emmys for its writers. Named 'best actress in a series' was the star of "Hazel" , Shirley Booth, last year's win- ner, defeating Lucille Ball, Irene Ryan who plays Granny on "Beverly Hillbillies", Shirl Conway of "The Nurses", and Mary Tyler Moore (The Dick Van Dyke Show). 'Best series actor' was also last year's win- ner, E.G. Marshall, the Law- rence Preston of "The Defen- ders" . This show also won for the 'best dramatic series' and for 'best direction'. 'The supporting players' awards went to Glenda Farrell, from "A Cardinal Act of Mercy' and Don Knotts, the comedian from "The Andy Griffith Show". And Carol Burnett (It wouldn't be Award Night if she didn't get one!) was praised as giving an outstanding performance in variety, defeating such greats as Edie Adams, Mery Griffin, Danny Kaye, and Andy Wil- liams. Oddly enough, though, her "Carol and Company" show took a back seat when "The Andy Williams Show" came out on top for 'best variety show'. His defeated the Garry Moore, Red Skelton, and Edie Adams Shows, in addition to Carol's effort. Named the 'best comedy show' was "The Dick Van Dyke Show" on a U.S. network. It won over another U.S. S. show, "McHale's Navy", plus two that we see, the yearly "Danny Kaye Show" and "Beverly Hill- billies". The latter is the top- rated production in the U, S, ; strange it couldn't make it to the top of the Emmy list. The top musical show was "Julie (Andrews) and Carol (Burnett) at Carnegie Hall" and among those it shut out, were the" Bell Telephone Hour" and Judy Gar- land's Show. Canada had two fingers in the pie, both of which came out minus a plum. Kate Reid was a nominee for 'best sup- porting actress' for her role as Queen Victoria in "The Invinc- ible Mr, Disraeli" and Festival's production of "The Offshore Is- land"was a nominee in the 'best foreign production'. This award went to an English pre- sentation. NBC's documentary on Berlin, "The Tunnel" was named the 'program of the year'. It defeated two produc- tions that we saw, "The Danny Kaye Show", with Lucille Ball, and The Defenders' "Madman" segment. 0--0--0 It was in February of this year, that a CBC team, work- ing in northern Canada, died while filming a forthcoming "Camera Canada" production. Last week, the production was presented, as planned, a mem- orial to the three men respon- sible. And a truly haunting memorial it was, too. In every photographer's well-planned shot, you could almost feel the desire for adventure, the res- pect and love that these men felt for this land that had drawn them into its midst and would, eventually, claim their lives, "Wilderness" was a study of the remote areas of British Colum- bia, Alberta, and The Yukon, and the camera work was sup- erb. The show, in fact, must have made many people want to trade this maddening, fright- ening pace amid speeding cars, blaring television sets, and push-button appliances that don't work half the time, for the peaceful, friendly simpli- city of nature as it was meant to be. I know I'm safe in say- ing that this is the finest sight to have crossed the airwaves in some time, and a beautiful tri - DON'T MISS THIS ONE! WESTERN ONTARIO'S BIGGEST, BEST, MOST SUCCUL ENT BUILDING YOUR OWN HOUSE Under what circumstances should you build a house in- stead of buying? There are several answers. You may have difficulty in finding a ready -built house that meets your particular needs. It may be better to build if you hold strong opinions on what special features a house should have. Location of available houses for sale might not be sat- isfactory to you. Whatever the reasons, the ideal way to go about building is to engage an architect. His experience will enable you to get the house you want at the price you're willing to pay. And the architect takes over all the worries that go with build- ing. His fee is well worth the time and trouble that you save. Another way is to buy stock plans and have a contractor build from them. But be sure that you have a suitable loca- tion and that the design you choose is adaptable to the site. WHITECHUR CH Mr, and Mrs. Frank McCon- nell and family, Mr, and Mrs. Gerald Ste. Marie and family and Mr, and Mrs. Ken Wine- garten and family of London, spent the week -end with Mr. and Mrs. Geo, T. Currie, bute to the three names that closed the show -- Assistant Cameraman Charles Riegler.. . Cameraman Len MacDonald... Producer Norman Caton. 0--0--0 Ed Sullivan's comforting message, "We're rooting for you, Arlene", as he closed his show last week, was directed to Arlene Francis who was, at that moment, lying in a Man- hattan hospital after a two - car collision on Long Island. The 51 -year-old actress and panelist was on her way to New York to appear on television's "What's My Line?" , when her car skidded on wet pavement and went out of control, crash- ing into another car and killing one of its passengers. She suf- fered a brain concussion, bro- ken collarbone, and multiple bruises and scratches. At last report, she was in fair condition, but will be away from her tele- vision duties for quite a long period of time.

G, Abey Memorial Home in India was given by Mrs. McKague, and the children discussed what some of the needs of this home for orphans would be. The roll calls were taken by Mrs. John Currie and Mrs. Or- vil Hastings. Offering was re- ceived by Ricky Smith, Davila Fish, Grace Corrin and Ronnie McGee. An introduction to the film- strip, "A New Language for Kim Po", was given. This was the story of how the church in Canada helped Kim Po's Kor- ean family in time of flood, sickness, and war.
