TAKE PLAYING CARDS WHEN HIKING ALONg A vacationist planned to take a solo hike in the moun- tains. An old grizzled guide was checking up on the supplies he was taking with him. Guide: "Have you got a map and a compass?" Hiker: "Certainly," Guide: "And have you got a deck of playing cards?" Hiker: "No. What do I need playing cards for?" Guide: "It might save your life. I always carry a deck. If you get lost in the woods, just sit down and start playing a game of solitaire. The next thing you know some darn fool will pop up behind you and start telling you what card to play next!" lip CROWN THEATRE HARRISTON THUR: FRI: SAT., Dec. 10-11-12 Rock Hudson has a new sport —"fishing," although he doesn't neglect his usual one, Women— in omen— in MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT In Color—Starring ROCK HUDSON - PAULA PRENTISS Show Time -7:15 and 9.30 -- Special -- FREE MERCHANTS' Matinee SAT., DEC. 12 at 2:15 p.m. { SPACE CHILDREN with Favorite Cartoons Santa arrives right after the show with FREE Treats for the Kiddies t 1 MON.-TUES.-WED..

A new series of one-hour shows began last week on "Canada 98", when the most savage river in North America, British Columbia's mighty Fraser, was shown to us in all its untamed beauty. Author Bruce Hutchison, in writing about the Fraser, said, "it is unknown... to most in- habitants of both the Canadian and American nations". This production served to better ac- quaint us with the Fraser, and introduce us to the people who live along it and depend on it for their livelihood - fishermen and even fisherwomen, lumber- men, umbermen, river linemen, and so many more. 'The Fraser' was filmed last summer, under the direction of producer Ron Kelly, and they journeyed along most of its 850 miles to provide us with the best of documentary entertainment. Host for the series is J.Frank Willis, and it is nice to have him back after too long an absence. This program was written by Canad- ian Charles Israel, the man who wrote last year's contro- versial Easter play "The Open Grave". This was the first of a series of twelve such produc- tions about this country's rivers and natural resources. Four will be seen this season under the title "Canada 98"; four next season, to be named "Canada 99"; and four during the centennial year, these to be shown under the title "Canada 100", The four to be shown this season, will be a study of steel, on January 24th; 'The MacKenzie River' on March 8th; and one dealing with Canada's timber, in April Perhaps the series should have been entitled "Getting to Know Canada Better", for this is the purpose that it is certainly go- ■IIIrrUIr11I■Iu.U111111u Ia!1iu11IlHli!IIulIIR111111•■III■Uir!IIuIIIUfIIIIiIIUFAll11 LYCCUM SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM -- PHONE 357-1630 THUR: FRI.-SAT.

It was a marvellously -produced portrayal of the private life of John Diefenbaker, which show-. ed him as politician, raconteur and fisherman. Its producer was one of the best in our coun- try, Douglas Leiterman, who won an award last year for his "One More River", the story of racial strife in the south. This year, he's done it again! In the seventh annual Vancouv- er Film Festival, where it com- peted with TV Films from the United States and Britain, "The Chief" was named the best TV film of the year. Two other CBC films were also honored. The previously -mentioned "Open Grave won a certificate of merit, and a dramatization seen on the serial was named best short fiction film. These winnings are a great credit to Canadian television, and it 'just shows to go ya' that we have many reasons to be proud of our entertainment and the talented people who provide it! 0--0-*0 While we're on the subject, CBC also announced the sale of a Wayne and Shuster Hour to Australian television,bringing new fame and honor to our native sons. The production, which has already been seen on British television, was shown here in May of 1963, and was the last show of that series to be produced by the late Don Hudson, who died about a year ago in the tragic plane crash in Quebec. He was the reason why the shows were so special, and his death left a huge void in the world of the performing arts, a void that has not yet been filled and pro- bably never will be. Singer Shirley Harmer and dancer Don Gillies are the performers helping out the comedians in this particular production. For future viewing, "Tele- scope" this week (11th) will take a look at Toronto's Dover- court Boys' Club where boys of every color, creed or condition come for guidance and friend- ship. Next Wednesday evening on "Festival", Henderson For- sythe, Frances Hyland, Helen Burns, and William Hutt star in "The Magician of Lublin", the story of an itinerant magician in 19th Century Poland. But the production that should really pull up the ratings is a visit with our old pal Perry Como, who on Monday, the 14th at 8 p.m, will star in a Christmas special taped in Vatican City and Rome. CURLING CAPSULES By Ernie Richardson The game of curling has several terms not familiar to other sports. First, the target area where all scoring occurs is known as the house. This is the circular section at each end of the rink, 12 feet in di- ameter, marked with inner circles of eight feet, four feet and one foot. In order to be a counter, the stone must be touching (biting is the term used) the 12 -foot ring. But a stone bit- ing the 12 -foot would only be a counter providing the op- position did not have a stone in the house at the comple- tion of the end. The one -foot circle is known as the button and the lines intercepting that circle is dead centre of the house. The stone, or stones closest to this point count after each side has played eight stones. If Team A has one stone nearest the centre, and Team B has next nearest stone, Team A counts only one regardless of how many other stones they have in the rings. It is the stone, or stones nearer than the oppo- nent's nearest stone that count, with a maximum of eight on an end. A line drawn through the centre of the circles at right angles to the Length of the sheet is known as the tee, or sweeping line. The sweepers of the playing side may sweep from sweeping line to sweeping line, but only the skip or vice -skip directing play at that time may sweep behind the sweeping line, and both sides have equal rights. And, for the purpose of judging the distance the stone must travel, the tee line is 126 -feet from the hack, which is the starting point of the delivery. Another term of impor- tance, but one that you will find is not pleasant to hear is "hog." The "Hog Line" crosses the sheet 21 feet in front of each tee line and getting your stone over this line is a must. Every stone which does not clear the "hog line" will be removed from play. Then there is a "back line," six feet behind the tee line. Any stone coming to rest after passing the back line and 'being clear of it is also out of play. This means that only stones that have been prop- erly delivered and come to rest between the hog line and back line — a distance of 27 feet, are actually in play, Perhaps you should know that the distance bet- ween the hog lines is 72 feet. Since the stance, delivery and the matter of applying the in -turn and out -turn to the stone have previously been explained, we feel that the above information can be of considerable help in judging the weight (or force) with which the stone is delivered. Of course there are other important factors to consid- er as well as the distance. These are the ice condi- tions; fast, slow or medium which also govern the deliv- ery. And, as you gain exper- ience you will find that the condition of the ice can change rapidly, even though most of play throughout the country is on indoor artifi- cial ice. It is these features, to- gether with the many skills necessary that I find makes curling a highly interesting challenge. BOIy!/rYG LADIES' LEAGUE The Wrens are still flying quite a few points ahead of the rest of us, as they came up with 30 points this week. The Orioles have 26 points and the Budgies 25, All tied up are the Robins, Bluejays and Can- aries with 21 points each. High single went to Marg. Moffatt with 288 and Helen Casemore took the high triple with a 747, 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Well, you know who took the men's high single and triple again this week, Ken Saxton, with a 280 and 676. Maybe next week I'll put in the men's low single and low triple, and that will give fel- lows like yours truly a chance. In the women's department, Dianne Deyell bowled a high single of 218 and a high triple of 588. As for the standings, the Kats have taken a nine point lead in first place with 47; Packers, 38; Tigers, 36; Hawks 32; Rovers, 27 and Larks still with nine. Thanks to spares Dianne Deyell and Harold McTavish for helping out. 0--0--0 COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Cigars were being passed out tonight but the resulting smoke screen couldn't hide the buttons popping from proud poppa Jim Bain's vest as he announced Dot's production to be a son. Congratulations, Kids! I hope the wee lad will be as good a bowler as his father. The Lions are being most selfish, holding onto their lead and racking up high points every night. Now I ask you - Is this the proper Christmas spirit, Lions? Thanks to Helen Casemore and Vicki Wild for sparing. Shirley Storey took the high single with 258 and the high triple with 618. Norman Cam- eron took the men's high single with 271 and team-mate Ernie Walker, the high triple with 692. Team standings are Lions 60; Seals 53; Wildcats 45; Tigers 40; Cougars 28; Beavers 25. Be reminded that our Christ- mas party will be held at the Legion Hall on December 15 after two, repeat, two games of bowling; Circle this date on your calendar, and will see you all there. 0-,0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Wayne's Woofers are still on top with 47 even, though Hags Happy Gang got seven points giving them a total of 35, Mad s Mules are in second place with 39 taking five points from Matt's Meeces, giving them a total of 29. In third place are Ian's Idiots taking five points for a total of 36 from Bill's Boobs with a total of 24. Sharon Jones bowled 299 and 703 for ladies' high single and triple.
