The notorious couple have
arrived, and Toronto will prob-
ably never be the same again!
Of course, I'm talking about
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard
Burton, who arrived in ourcapi-
tal last week in time for him to
start rehearsals for the modem-
dress version of Shakespeare's
"Hamlet", which will open on
the 24th in the O'Keefe Centre.
They left Mexico, where he
had just completed his latest
picture " Night of The Iguana",
a little earlier than they had
planned and flew to Hollywood.
Their reception there was over-
whelming, so much so that the
beautiful Miss Taylor ordered
Burton " Get me outta here!"
when the surging crowds al-
most became too much for her.
Gallant Richard obliged, and in
turn ordered their chauffeur to
keep the car moving, offering
to 'pay for the bloody damage!'
Supposedly, their side -trip to
Hollywood was to hasten an
agreement with singer Eddie
Fisher so they could be married
before they came to Canada,
but no sooner had they arrived,
than Mr. Fisher took off for
New York, leaving them noth-
ing more than unkind words to
mull over. They tried every-
thing to miss the same type of
reception at Toronto's airport,
from first announcing rhat they

would make the trip by train,
to finally using assumed names
(such as they were), but they
were still met by newsmen, al-
though the crowd was much
more subdued than Hollywood's.
Richard is now hard at work at
rehearsals for his title role in
the Shakespearean tragedy,
which is under the direction of
Sir John Gielgud. Other cast
members will be Max Schell,
Peter O'Toole, Sidney Poitier,
Alfred Drake, Eileen Hcrlie,
and Hume Cronyn, and it will
run for three weeks in Toronto
before heading for Broadway.
Whether or not the famous pair
leave Toronto as man and wife,
remains to be seen. The third
party in the triangle, Mr. Fish-
er, is now in Innsbruck, Austria,
entertaining at the Winter
Olympics, caring little about
:happenings in Toronto.

Caught a glimpse of the
opening ceremonies of those
same Olympic Games on the
CTV network last week and
they were extremely impressive,
fine coverage by the ABC net-
work in the U.S., which has
made it available to CTV. The
march -in of the teams from
various countries throughout the
world was a lovely sight to see,
especially the Canadian team
in their white jackets with col-
oured stripes, and the Russians

WEATHER has rnade it possible for workmen to
good progress on two new homes going up at the
end of Summit Drive. In the background is the new

But the most exciting part of
the ceremonies was the playing
of beautiful Austrian marches
in the background; their stirring
Tyrolean music was very plea-

The movie world wasshock-
ed last Wednesday to hear of
the sudden death of actor Alan
Ladd, at his home in Palm
Springs, California. The 50 -
year -old star was found dead in
bed by his butler, who went to
rouse him after a short nap, He
had gone to Palm Springs alone,
to rest after suffering from a
leg injury which has bothered
him since a shooting accident
in 1962. At first it was said that
he died of natural causes, but
according to a coroner's report
which was later made public,
death was caused by the effects
of a combination of alcohol and
three drugs which he was taking
at the time. It seems that Mr.
Ladd was a very unhappy man.
Though he has been absent
from motion pictures for some
time, he had just recently com-
pleted a role as cowboy Nevada
Smith in "The Carpetbaggers"
and his performance was highly
praised, so much so that a se-
quel was planned. His first big
motion picture was in a wes-
tern, in which he had the role
of a young cowboy. His most
memorable one was "Shane",
and one of his latest was in
"Man in the Net" which was
seen a few weeks ago on CKNX
on 'Starlight Theatre". Ile is
survived by his wife, former
agent Sue Carroll, a son by a
former marriage, Alan Jr., 26,
a step -daughter Caroll Lee, 31,
and a daughter Alana, 20, and
son David, who, at 16, is try-
ing to build an acting career of
his own.

I'd like to recommend some
good -sounding records which
you may like to collect for
posterity. If the Beatles aren't •
home of Mr. and Mrs. W, J.
foreground is being built for
exactly your style, you may
go for some nice ballads, like;
"True Love Goes On and On"
by Burl Ives; "Going, Going,
Gone" by Brooke Benton;"I
Love You More and More
Every Day" by the very success-
ful Al Martino; "Blue Winter"
which is Connie Francis' latest;
and a gorgeous blues number
which should become a stan-
dard, "The Lady of the house"
by Rusty Draper. Tony Bennett
also has a winner with "The
Little Boy'; and Linda Scott has
a cute little swinger called
"Who's Been Sleeping in My
Bed?". If it's albums you're
looking for, you might latch
onto either "Beauty and the
Beard", teaming pert Ann -
Margret, and New Orleans'
pride 'n' joy trumpeter -singer
Al Hirt; or "The Dream Duet",
a gorgeous group of popular
old standards, sung by opera
star Anna Moffo, and the new
heart-throb from Italy, Sergio
Franchi.
4. ork Will Improv
duality, Producers Are Told
Lloyd Stewart, of R. R. 1,
Clinton, re-elected president
of the Huron County Hog Pro-
ducers' Association yesterday,
said the association's 1963 pro-
ject would do much to increase
the number of grade A hogs
within the county.
The association, assisted by
the Ontario department of agri-
culture, organized a 4 -fl Swine
Club in an effort to improve the
quality of bacon hogs and raise
the percentage of grade A hogs
produced.
Ile said the Clinton branch
of the Bank of Montreal holds a
$4, 400 note, due May 3 --
money borrowed to purchase a
pair of gilts for each of the 78
club members.
Mr. Stewart said that, at the
association's 4-1.1 Swine Club
gilt sale, to he held April 4 in
Clinton, each of the 4 -fl club
members will bring back one
bred gilt for sale.
Proceeds will pay for the or-
iginal pair of gilts and breeding.
The second gilt and any money
left over from the sale are giv-
en to the club member.
The club proved to be the
largest 4-11 club in Canada.
Warren Gurbrigg, R.R. 2,
Clifford, recently -appointed
secretary of the Iluron County
organization of Farmers Allied
Meat Enterprises Ltd. , said he
believed it to he the largest
4-H Club on the North Ameri-
can continent,
D. II. Miles, Huron County
agricultural representative,
wondered if the association
would have enough nioney this
year to proceed further with its
quality program.
Ile suggested having the gilts
qualify under advanced registry.
He said that, with Huron Coun-
ty's production of hogs (Huron
is listed as fifth highest in On-
tario), there are only four or
five producers who qualify sows
in advanced registry.
Elected by the board of dir-
ectors as vice-president was
Robert McAllister, R. R, 2, Au-
burn, and as secretary -treasurer
Alfred Warner, R.R. 1, Bay-
field. Mr. Warner is director -
at -large of the Ontario Hog
Producers Marketing Board.
Elected as directors -at -large
were John Semple, R. R. 2, Bay-
field; George Campbell, R. R.
1, Seaforth; Elmer Ireland, R.
R. 5, Winghatn; Warren Zur-
brigg, and Simon Hallaban,
Blyth.
County directors and dele-
gates are George Moncrieff,
R. R. 3, Goderich; John Kern-
ingharn, Goderich; Mr. Warner;
Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield;
Ross Love, R. R. Hensall;
Harvey Hodgins, R. R. 2, Ailsa
Craig; Hugh Rundle, R. R. 1,
Centralia; Martin Baan, R. R. 3,
Walton; Mr. Stewart; Gordon
Elliott, R.R. 2, Seaforth; Jas,
McGregor, R, R. 2, Kippen;

Mr. McAllister; Albert Bacon,
Belgrave; Harvey Mulvey,
Wroxeter, and Falmer Harding,
R. R. 1, Gorrie.
Lance Dickieson, of Guelph,
chairman of the Ontario flog
Producers Marketing Board, ex-
plained the new compensation
fund to cover losses in hogs dur-
ing shipment.
The fund, which carne into
effect Monday is being estab-
lished through present market-
ing fees. About .03 per cent
of hogs die during shipment, not
a particularly large nuuther
when considered in the light of
the millions shipped annually,
he said.
There is no likelihood, Mr.
Dickieson said, of a fee in-
crease to covet the cost of the
new frond.
"In fact, if shipments con-
tinue as they have, there is the
possibility of a reduced fee, "he
said.
;log producers pay a fee of
35 cents for market hogs and
70 cents for sows and boars.
Mr. Warner said that a num-
ber of complaints about the
Clinton assembly yards have
been received by the marketing
board.
" We will view the matter with
the prospects of having improve-
ments made or having a yard of
our own built -- one where we
could have facilities to handle
loads without delays, " he said.
Less Equipment
Was Needed at
Dingley Dell
The spirit of progress, it
would seem, has wormed its
way into winter sports, as into
everything else. You can now
spend as much on equipment
for them, and on getting to
them, as would once have set
you up in the business of cater-
ing for there.
In earlier days, people took
their pleasures more simply.
The party assembled at Dingley
Dell, for example, as Dickens
tells us in "Pickwick Papers",
indulged in "winter sport" --
without benefit of equipment;
they made themselves a slide
atop a frozen pond nearby, and
hugely enjoyed slithering along
it, in picturesque procession,
until the predictable disaster
overtook them, and Mr. Pick-
wick fell through the ice.
But that was a century ago.
In our enlightened age, of
course, we find it essential to
our enjoyment to load a hun-
dred weight of precision -made
skis, toboggans, skates and
other impedimenta on to our
cars, garb ourselves in passable
'intuition of a polar expedition,
and fare forth a hundred miles
or so, to disport ourselves in
aristocratic seclusion.
Whether we actually extract
more satisfaction from our pro-
cedures than the Dingley Dell
patty did from theirs is any-
body's opinion. But at any rate,
while we continue to engage in
then they continue to provide
an emotional and social safety
Hilbert and the one in the

valve, to divert our energies
from darker projects. You are
less likely to promote public
strife and private conflict if
you can dissipate some of your
pugnacity on a ski slope.

Hanging Valley is not the
name of a place where a lynch-
ing took place; at least, not in
geological terms. A "hanging
valley" is a valley which en-
ters the main, or trunk, valley
by means of a fall or rapid.
Hanging valleys are conspic-
uous features of mountain land-
scapes in glaciated regions.
