Progress in Housing H.O.M.E.—the Robarts govern- ment plan that reduces down payments, increases owner- ship—is providing many new homes at manageable cost. And the Ontario Housing Cor- poration, too, has provided more public housing in three years than the rest of Canada combined in 15. New satellite city plans also promise orderly suburban development. Progress in Taxation Ontario's 1967 budget showed no increase in taxes. What's more, two Smith Report pro- posals have already been en- dorsed to reduce your local tax bill. One gives an allowance of up to $2,000 of assessment on property; the other takes over the entire cost of justice. Progress in Education For the past five years, an average of 11/2 new schools or substantial additions have been opened every day. One new secondary school every two weeks. Five new universi- ties since 1963. Nineteen new Community Colleges. Educa- tion grants up 600%. Fast action in education for fast- changing times.

MET AT FAIR—Premier gomery of Grand Bend, London 30 years ago. Howick Fall Fair.—A-T Danny Thomas' second spe- cial of the year was superior to his first -- to my way of think- ing! "It's Greek To Me" was a comedy special written espe- cially for his show, by Jerry Bel- son and Garry Marshall. It was produced by Alan Handley and Bob Wynn and directed by Hand- ley. The plot was not a spec- tacular one -- the story of a Greek goddess who is bored with life on Mount Olympus, home of the gods, and defies her fa- ther, Zeus, and kidnaps a mor- tal 'of her very own' to be her lifelong love. There were not a spectacular number of laughs either; when they were there, they were short and sweet and over in a minute. What did shine, how- ever, was the talent of those participating. Danny always is a lovable slob, and was be- lievable as the mortal; his sing- ing too, was better than I had thought. Juliette Prowse was looking lovelier and dancing better than she has for some time. She was the goddess Ap- hrodite, looking every inch of it, too, we might add. Buddy Hackett can be a bit sickening in some of his comedy roles, but he was amusing and enter- taining in his role of Zeus. Vic Damone as Apollo, the Greek god who loves Aphrodite, sang well and showed a real flair for comedy. That was a surprise; I didn't think he could do any- thing BUT sing. With those looks, he wouldn't need to, goodness knows! 0--0--0 Monday night, the 16th, will be a real night for enter- tainment. For that week, the Bob Hope Comedy Special will be moved to the 9 p.m. time slot. His lineup of stars looks very impressive -- man-and- wife team of Eydie Gorme and Steve Lawrence, who will team with Bob in some amusing com- edy sketches, and will sing their hearts out in solo and duet numbers. His special guest will be Debbie Reynolds. She and Bob will team in a skit about politics, a world that has al- ways been close to the hearts of television writers, but never more so than now, with many of the Hollywood stars ventur- ing into new waters. Bob will play Boss Greed, who tries to find a candidate to oppose Deb- bie Dimples, former child star, who is running for Congress. Poor Shirley Temple is really getting the business from her Hollywood buddies! Debbie will also perform a song-and- dance routine from her night- club act, so that sounds like an exciting hour of entertainment. Why not watch it? 0--0--0 There will be complete cov- erage of the Ontario Election on Tuesday the 17th, beginning at 8 p.m. which will continue until all results are in. Elec- tion Central will be at CBC Toronto, with returns coming in from all over the province. Newscaster Stanley Burke will be big-toad-in-the-puddle, with a number of ambitious fellows handling returns from different areas in Ontario, Then, last and least, in my estimation, will be the return this Saturday evening, the 14th, of "Hockey Night in Canada".' Say goodbye to the sportsmen in your family, at least for Saturday evenings, from now until spring. Isn't it nice they take a few months off, and you can hear something besides "Pipe down, hockey's on!" or "Those dumb Leafs?" When your automobile won't run, you can at least congratu- late yourself on not adding to the air pollution problem. Mr. and Mrs. James Ander- son and family of Guelph and Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
