CLINT HODGINS W. Ontario's Most Eligible Bachelor At Hollywood Park in Ingle- wood, Calif. last week, two Canadians, Joe O'Brien and Clint Hodgins showed why they are ranked with the best in teaming harness horses. O'Brien, who hails from Alberton, P. E, I. , won the $25,100 Fall Maturity Pace with the four-year-old horse, Gamecock. The one mile event timed in 1:57.4 was the fastest mile for the Hollywood Park meeting to that date. Last year the P. E, I. sulky pilot earned $297, 046 in purses, -le had 88 wins, 62 seconds and 41 thirds in 311 starts. This earned him a driving percent- age of 438. Clandeboye, Ont. native Clint Hodgins and Cold Front combined to fracture Game- cock's record in the next race when the five-year-old Adios sired horse paced the mile in 1:57.1 in a $10,000 Free -For - All event. It was this same combination of Hodgins and Cold Front that won the $17,000 Canadian Cup Pace at Toronto's Greenwood Raceway in August.

He still spends the off season and his spare time at Clandeboye. I have reported before that Festival's plays are becoming better each season, and last week's production "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" was certainly evi- dence of that statement. It was 90 minutes of entertainment which could have held its own with the finest dramatic works in the world. The play was a magnificent, though simple, adaptation by Fletcher Markle who is host of 'Telescope', of Katherine Anne Porter's novel of the same name, and was to have taken place in Colorado in 1918, during the 'flu' epidemic. The lead players were two U. S. stars, Joan Haskett, whom we have come to know as law- yer Kenneth Preston's lady friend on " The Defenders", and Keir Dullea, the young actor who gave such a tremendous performance in an American- made independent movie "Da- vid and Lisa". Their perform- ances were sensitive and mov- ing, and Miranda's deeply - rooted dread of war was realis- tically utilized to strengthen the drama. The sequences of fantasy during her deliriums, were handled expertly by pro- ducer Eric Till, and never once did they become boring or their meaning too difficult to grasp. The presentation was a master- piece, a great tribute to the three people responsible for its appeal; its producer and its stars. Miss Porter's classic will now be even more pleasantly remembered than it has been, down through the years. We need more television works like this. B 0 111/Y16 N E w s COMMERCIAL LEAGUE The two low teams, and also the two noisiest, went af- ter points last week, but it seems the Mohawks played the better game and came out on top.

FOOTBALL Wingham Mustangs clinched a place in the play-offs last week when they defeated South Huron 13-6. Their victory gave them a record of four wins and two losses for the regular season. This total was duplicat- ed uplicated by Stratford hut since Wing - ham had earlier defeated Strat- ford in their only meeting of the schedule, the Mustangs ad- vanced into the play-offs again - 'Tis Show Biz By Vonni Lee No one could ever have imagined that a television show about a man from Mars, could be a hit, but it seems as though "My Favourite Martian" will be the exception. It is a new series about a Martian gentle- man who has rocket -ship trou- ble on his way to earth, crashes and is forced to spend some time on this secondary planet. He has the ability to read minds, talk to dogs, disappear (with the help of Martian an- tennae, of course!), and has probably been alive for thous- ands of years. The title role is played by Ray Walston, and the newspaperman, with whom he is staying until his rocket - ship is repaired, is played by Bill Bixby, a former lifeguard who is now a very good comedy actor. And, by the way, watch for the chimp who, while film- ing his feature role, bit the star and halted production for a number of weeks. This, I believe, started out to be a juvenile novelty show, but it's now developing into more than that. A number of adults are finding it novel and entertain- ing, too. 0--0--0 An early -morning fire in Palm Springs, California, last week claimed the lives of four members of the late Joan Davis' family, her 72 -year-old moth- er, her 29 -year-old daughter Beverley, who has worked in show business, too, on occas- ion, and Beverley's two sons, aged seven and four years. They all lived together and were alone when the fire broke out. Joan Davis, an excellent comedienne, who reminded one a great deal of Lucille Ball, died of a heart attack in 1961 at the age of 51. For many years, she starred in her own television series "I Married Joan" with Jim Bachus in the role of her husband. 0--0--0 In Beverly Hills, a few days after this sad news, death claimed actor Adolphe Menjou, the dapper, moustached vete- ran of the screen, who set styles for men the world over. He had been ill for nine months suffering from jaundice, and was 73 years of age. Ile was a star of the movies for forty years, beginning his career with " The Three Musketeers" in 1923, Only last year he made a guest appearance on CBC's "Flashback", looking just as dashing as ever (he headed the American best -dressed lists for many years), and even told some of the gentlemen on the show that they were not dressed properly. His later years were devoted mainly to television; one of his last movies was Walt Disney's ' Polyanna' . 0--0--0 I haven't mentioned about records for a dog's age, mainly because there weren't too many worth mentioning.

Scoring touchdowns for the winners were Doug Campbell and Murray Procter. EXAMINATIONS The fall examination time table was posted on the bulletin board last week. It immedi- ately attracted the attention of a large number of students who gathered around the fatal docu- ment, tearing their hair and slashing their wrists, The first examinations are on November 14th and 15th. After a week's recuperation, the pupil faces five fateful examination days from the 25th to the 29th. YAWS CAMPAIGN A campaign to raise money for combatting the disease of yaws was on last week. Ap- peals were made over the P. A. system and collection boxes were placed in the halls.Around $40.00 was collected. MAGAZINE DRIVE The annual magazine drive is underway at W..D. H. S. Stu- dents sell magazines in return for a cut of the profits, The money is used to finance the Student Council sponsored ac- tivities or for some worth- while project. Various incen- tives are offered to the students. High salesmen receive prizes such as a transistor tape record- er, travel alarm clock or leath- er wallet. A chart is posted in the home room of each class showing its progress (or lack of progress) towards filling its quo- ta. Campaign manager is Hugh Mundell. RAIN AGAIN The little red pail has be- come a permanent fixture at W. D. H. S. as water drips per- sistently from the ceiling of the corridor. Teachers take turns guarding it (the pail), from on- rushing students who still man- age to kick it from time to time.
