change", a Hollywood -origina-
ted comedy series al•out two
good friends who switch teen-
aged daughters for awhile, The
most appealing part of the story
is that one of the friends lives
in New York, while the other
lives in England, and it is the
comparisons between the two fa-
milies that is often so enter-
taining. 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.

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.

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:

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. All it takes is a call to our Business Office,
or ask the telephone service man.
