A new summer musical show,
"Twelve For Summer", will be
debuting on many CBC chan-
nels on Saturday, June 25, 7 to
7.30 p.m. It will feature Can-
adian talent in shows produced
in various cities in this country.
The first show will star Malka
and Joso, who, if they keep
moving up, could be even big-
ger Canadian stars than Wayne
and Shuster. They will sing
Israeli and Neapolitan folk
songs, and introduce special
guests. Later in the season,
' Twelve For Summer" will fea-
ture such performers as Van-
couver singer Ken Colman, Bil-
ly Van and his wife Patti, and
Doug Crosley.
Speaking of Malka and Joso,
they will be the replacement
for Juliette next season, to be
seen after the hockey broad-
casts each Saturday evening.
Beginning in mid-September,
they will be seen in glorious
black-and-white, and on Oc-
tober 1st, all CBC program-
ming will switch to splendifer-
ous colour. Malka in colour,
will be something to see; she is
absolutely gorgeous! Malka and
Joso sing (and talk) in many dif-
ferent languages, and the ser-
ies will utilize this talent. The
show itself will be a showcase
for talent from around the
world, with European guests and
foreign dance groups and sing-
ers. This should be quite a
change from Juliette. Bob Jar-
vis, who produced Julie's show,
will again guide this show. The
writer will be Alex Barris.

Fifty-three Cubs from A and
B packs camped June 3 to at
the Goderieh Summer School.
The weather was perfect and a
good time is reported. The
boys thank the ladies of the
auxiliary who prepared meals,
the nurse, group committee and
parents who supplied transpor-
tation. The leaders appreciate
the help they receive for these
events.
The June 7 meeting of Pack
A was attended by 30 boys. An
outdoor game was followed by a
film in the Scout House. High-
light of the evening was when
Tom Lee was made a senior six-
er, Bill Kennedy a sixer and
Keith Hodgkinson, a seconder.
The pack met at the United
Church June 14 with an attend-
ance of 26. A film was shown
on water safety, a timely topic
since many of the boys are now
swimming. Several boys pass-
ed tests in Red Star exercises.
The boys appreciated having
the use of the gym.

Just catching a glimpse
again of the marvellous movie
"The Miracle Worker", brought
to mind what magnetic talent
belongs to its two stars, Anne
Bancroft and Patty Duke. The
movie is the story of the blind
and deaf Helen Keller through-
out her childhood years; it was
seen on "Great Movies" on June
11th.
It is a touching and pathetic
story about the young pampered
child whose parents hesitated
to correct or scold her because
of her handicap. She does not
sit at a table to eat, but walks
about, clawing at things on
others' plates, like some kind
of an animal. She has abso-
lutely no idea of what makes
up the world about her, and
mistrusts anyone but her own
parents. Then Annie Sullivan
comes into her life, partly
blind herself, a girl who has
lived through as many problems
as Helen, but has learned to
overcome them. She suffers
every kind of agony to teach
Helen some manners, to show
her a world through the touch
of a hand, to eventually make
Helen love her. The climactic
ending is heartwarming and en-
couraging, and, the audience
knows, only the beginning of
the satisfying and useful life
that Helen went on to live.
Patty Duke, then only a
young slip of a girl, played the
role of Helen Keller, She had
first played the role in the
Broadway play, and had lived
for a period of time with deaf
and blind children, and dis-
cussed Miss Keller's own prob-
lems with her, so she would be
better able to step into the part.
To see her in a role like this
makes one wonder why she
wastes her time at a light situ-
ation comedy like her televis-
ion series.
Annie is played by Anne
Bancroft, truly a great actress,
who also played the same role
on Broadway. The movie must
have been a cinch after doing
eight performances weekly on
stage, They must have been
completely exhausted all the
time! (The fights here were
real, with the stars doing all
their own acting.) They re-
ceived their just reward. Miss
Bancroft received the 'best
actress' Oscar, Patty Duke the
'best supporting actress'.
Miss Bancroft made her name
as an actress in the Broadway
version of "Two For the See-
saw", playing the Greenwich
Village beatnick Gina._ But
when the movie version was
made, they wanted a 'name',
so Shirley MacLaine got the
part. Shirley had no more than
turned around when Anne took
the acting award for 'Miracle
Worker'. Now you've seen
Anne at work; by the time this
is published, you will havehad
a chance to see Shirley in 'See-
saw' (15th, on CKNX-TV's
Late Show) so you will be able
to compare.
