Plans are in full swing to present the best in color en- tertainment for the Canadian viewing public. The CBC will carry about 30 hours weekly of color programming, beginning at the start of the 1966 fall schedule. About one-third of this will be Canadian-produced entertainment. The remainder will be network shows from U.S. television, or film color series. CBC stations "going color" at the beginning of the fall season include Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Halifax, and St.John's. Some of the smaller stations will join the network later, per- haps in early '67, (Our own lo- cal station will be one of these.) Toronto television studio shows to be seen in color in the fall include ''Show of the Week" and "Festival". A mobile unit will telecast sports events(hoc- key games among them), and some variety shows. Coming as it does, just before Centen- nial Year, the programming list will also include specials on "Camera Canada" and "Can- ada 99". News and public af- fairs shows will originate in col- or in the Ottawa studios of the CBC. Total cost of the conversion to color, is said to be $15,000,- 000. This is only the initial step, though; future develop- ment will no doubt cost much more. And while we are scrat- ching our pockets for the money, things are buzzing in TV stu- dios in preparation for the changeover. Staffs are being trained, transmitters are being converted, new mobiles are on order, and cameramen, de- signers, producers, etc. , are at- 'Tis Show Biz By l'onn! 1.4.‘v tending a CBC color seminar. During the summer, studios in Toronto, Montreal, and Ot- tawa will be converted, made ready for D-Day, or perhaps C-Day would be more fitting, on October 1st. 0--0--0 The Christies are a show- business family. Robert is one of this country's most respected and talented actors; his wife Margot is a fine dramatic act- ress. Both have had roles at Stratford's Shakespearean Festi- val; and so it was not surprising that the theatre and the world of show-business in general should attract their daughter Dinah. In 1956, when she was only 13, she became a member of the Festival Company and was kept busy calling the stars from their dressing rooms and toting wigs and coffee. In later years, she too, took starring roles in the dramatic productions and last year was a member of the cast that performed at Chiches- ter, England. When she was 18, her father gave her a guitar and she soon became a popular folk- singer in night-clubs and cafes. In recent years, she has been kept busy with club dates, re- cording sessions, acting roles and roles in musical revues in Toronto. Dinah was the last of about 250 girls to be auditioned for the job of hostess on "This Hour Has Seven Days". Though she is charming enough and a good interviewer, the job does noth- ing to further her career as a singer or actress. Her attempts at singing the theme song are sad. But the singing is no sad- der than the writing of the song! In spite of the little spare time that the show leaves her, she makes all her own clothes and writes poetry. Test Day for Skating Club Judges at the annual test day for Wingham Figure Skating Club were Mrs. Don Rosen- hagen of Wingham and Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Pocock of Gait.

BILL FULLER A relatively small group of Scouts and leaders attended last week's meeting at the Scout House. Scoutmaster Friden- burg opened the meeting and P.L. Bill Fuller broke the flag. Inspection followed and the dues were collected. Scouter Fridenburg reported receiving a letter inviting our troop to Princeton Scout Camp Camporee, May 13, 14 and 15. Notices were handed out and the boys were asked to get writ- ten permission to go. A knotting session followed Linda Lockridge; Ten Fox, Lin- da Lockridge, Barbara Dauphin, Marilyn Tiffin, Gloria Lewis. and the boys were instructed in tieing Tenderfoot and Second Class knots. The meeting was closed by Scouter Fridenburg and the flag lowered. After reminding the boys of their notices they were dismissed . A reminder to Scouters: Dis- trict banquet, Wednesday, Ap- ril 27.
