The new summer shows are popping up everywhere these nights. Some are old friends back with us for another season, while others are new series, or at least new to us. One in the latter category is "Fair Ex - DUNLOP'S SHOE SALE Clearanceof ALL SUMMER FOOTWEAR Women's Shoes Women's Summer \{� Colors are White Sandals > t,.� - Beige, Brown and Black $4.99 to $7.99 VALUES TO $14.95 „,�, ...........

To me, the funniest people in the show are the two fathers, American Eddie Walk- er, a former vaudeville per- former, erformer, played by Eddie Foy, Jr. who is so great in anything, and Englishman Tommy Finch, played by Victor Madden. They are the life of the show. The girls, Patty Walker, played by Lyn Loring, and Heather Finch (Judy Carne) are cute enough and have a fair amount of ta- lent, but they could never car- ry the show alone. They need help and plenty of it. With the exception of Foy, the English family is much more interest- ing and more warm and down- to-earth than the Walkers, and so far, more exciting things have happened to them, too. The series is no longer being made, Low ratings and discord among the starring players help- ed to put it out of business. 0--0--0 Later on Monday evening our friend "Singalong Jubilee" is back with us. Again corning to us from Halifax, it stars Bill Langstroth who ushered in its fourth year as replacement for Don Messer, on Monday of last week. A few new faces have been added, and some old faces have been brought out front as soloists, Fred McKenna and Jim Bennett are back, and fea- tured soloist this year will be Catherine MacKinnon, who sang a few solos with the group last season. She is charming and has a beautiful voice so she should boost the ratings. The new group which was introduced last week and which will prob- ably take the place of The Townsmen, is called The Don Burke Four, Burke, 24, is a former member of The Towns- men, but now has picked up a guitarist, taken two girls from the chorus, and formed his own quartet, And a good sound he has, too; they could go places. The real star of the show is still former Don Messer -pro- ducer Langstroth, who will ne- ver lose his enthusiasm and winning personality. 0--0--0 Watching 'Perry Mason' ham it up with Red Skelton on the latter's show last week seemed almost as unhelievalbe as see- ing Liz Taylor cooking some vittles for the Clampitts' But he was there, and he took his place as a comedy actor, as well as the best cornedian, His appearance as the janitor, and later as the District Attorney in the courtroom scene was very entertaining, and even broke up Red. This should have been no surprise; Raymond Burr has a reputation in Hollywood for always playing practical jokes on his co-stars, Bill fiopper (PaulDrake)and Barbara 1-iale (Della Street). Red, in one of his many ad-libs, told his au- dience that he would pay Burr back by appearing on his show. A11 I can say is,if he does, "Perry Mason" will never be the same again: 0--0--0 Wingham's movies during the summer months are, even now that "Auntie Mame" is over, certainly among the fin- est ever produced in the world's film capitals.

M. Goodwin your telephone manager Lower Trans -Canada Long Distance Rates You've probably read the news stories about the lower Trans -Canada Long Distance rates that went into effect last month. It occurred to me that reductions have been implemented so often over the years that they're in danger of not being "news" anymore; However, they're refreshing- ly different, considering the price trends of just about everything else. Trans -Canada Long Distance Service is made possible by close co-operation among the various telephone com- panies over whose territory a call travels. Before 1928, there was no interconnection of lines between the main Canadian telephone companies, so a call between Wing - ham and, say, Edmonton, had to travel over American lines. By 1932, however, an all -Canadian East-West route was completed and, of course, continued expansion has oc- curred since then. Today your call may speed over actual telephone lines, or through tihe air via microwave (along- side television programs!), or over radio -relay systems that reach out to isolated sites, some well beyond the Arctic Circle. Telephone companies certainly don't just sit on the accounts collected from customers: money is continu- ally ploughed back into the Canadian economy to provide better and better service, and a higher standard of living for all. Tailored Telephones On the average, masculine fingers are 10 percent long- er and 20 percent wider than feminine fingers. AIso, on the telephone, men's voices are two decibels louder than women's, and men tend to talk even louder when talking with other men. "Who cares?" you ask. Well, telephone engineers care very much. They even care about the average distance between the Human mouth and ear: the handset must "fit" both for ideal transmission and re- ception (the mouthpiece should be held from one-half to one inch from the lips). Careful study of these human factors has ]ed to the best possible design for items of telephone equipment. Where You Are Ever notice how some Wingham folks answer the phone promptly when you call them? Well, they MIGHT just always be right beside the telephone. But it's more likely that these prompt -answerers have discovered the convenience of baying extension telephones where THEY are. In the kitchen, for example where the lady of the house spends se much time. She can nrtke and take calls with ease ... keep an eye on what's cooking at the same time. Some people find it bandy to have extension tele- phones in the family room, or dad's workshop. And, of course, a bedroom extension is not only convenient, it adds a reassuring sense of security, knowing a phone's close at hand. Extension phones come in three models — wall phone, regular desk set, and the little Princess with its glowing nightlight. Why not find out how convenient it would be to have extension phones in places handiest in YOUR home.
