How many miles have you travelled?, the entertainers are asked. "Wait a minute 'til I look at my speedometer," says Geny Paul, lifting his heel and looking at the sole of his shoe. Once the two song -and -dance men get going it's pretty hard to stop them (or get a word in edge- wise), admits brother Leon Paul. Onstage, Leon is the quick wit as Gerry adds an appropriately funny expression or hilarious sight gag. Backstage, however, the other brother shows he's pretty quick himself. In an interview after the show Gerry recalls that he served in the Canadian army for four years dur- ing World War II. "How else do you think we won the war?" he says with a slight smirk. When it's pointed out that he doesn't look as old as his 75 years he quickly retorts that "I can't help it if I look young and virile!" The two brothers, who hail from nearby Kirkton, performed their fast -paced routine of comedy and music to the assembled local ser- vice clubs during Seaforth's Brotherhood Night on Feb. 24. The two brothers grew up in vaudeville, having descended from the original Paul Brothers (their father and uncle, who had come from Britain). "They were pretty good too," says Gerry, while Leon, without missing Knights of Columbus HOCKEY TOURNAMENT AND SPORTS CARD SHOW SATURDAY & SUNDAY 9:30 A.M. 9:30 A.M.

The two ntertained in Seaforth recently to s. a beat, jokes "but not as good as Although they have performed professionally since 1945 they played local garden parties and strawberry festivals as children. The two vaudeville performers have come a long way since then. The lifelong Kirkton residents have played before crowds in every province of Canada and their rou- tine has been seen on television in Nashville. They have presented about 7,000 shows over the years and worked with Tommy Hunter and Gordie Tapp and also enter- tained Canadian troops during the war in Korea. Some of their jokes are corny and some of them are real stinkers but they're delivered with such glee and rapid-fire delivery it's hard not to laugh out loud. The boys change costumes quicker than one can spell L -A -U -G -H -T -E -R. One minute they are dressed as women or fire- men, another minute they're in the green of Robin Hood's outfit and moments later they're cornball 'Astro -nuts.' Today the duo performs with Leon's wife of more than 40 years, Shirley. Before Shirley joined the act their mother was a big part of the show for years. "She taught us all we know," said Leon of his mother, who is 99. When Shirley says how bright the • Country luncheon big By the contented look on people's faces, one could conclude the coun- try luncheon was once again a great success. The winners of euchre were: High man - Carl Johnston; High women - Melba Fraser; Low man Bill Kelly; Low women - Mary McCall; Lone hands - Marjorie Rock; Lone hands - Harvey Craig; Most Zeros - Alvin McDonald, Malinda Johnston. Another successful event was meet -your -neighbour coffee hour. Thirty women watched the video, 'How to talk so kids will listen.' Phillis Mitchell took over and demonstrated how to do iron -on applique. On Thursday, March 10 at 9:15 will be the next get together with Margaret Mclnroy demonstrat- ing how to do podging.

And those that attended learned about new herbicides for 1994, New chemical application and handling and have a look at some new equipment. boys' mother is Gerry deadpans "Just like me!" For many older spectators the Paul Brothers & Shirley bring back nostalgic memories of a long -lost time. "We take them back to the good old days," notes Gerry. Reports of vaudeville's death have been greatly exaggerated, it seems. "We're so busy now we can't keep up with it," said Leon. He said it makes them feel good when their shows are enjoyed by the audience. Even young people, who might never have heard of George and Gracie, enjoy the shows of the Paul Bros. who are playing to a third generation of fans. "It's so old it's new to them," smiles Leon, who is 70. Last Thursday was the first time in five years the act performed in front of an all-male audience and ' they were a little bit saucy to suit the crowd. They were also a little bit sentimental, singing 'I wish we were 18 again.' During their performance they poked a little fun at firefighters while Seaforth Fire Chief George Garrick sat in the crowd being a good sport as he took in every little joke. At the end of the show a pile of costumes backstage pay testament to the fast -and -furious pace of their routine. Even with the grey hair they're still boys, however. "I have to pick up (after them)," smiles Shirley. Leon Paul will be hosting the Harmony Kings' barbershop show on April 9. success Fred, Heidi, Jennifer, Darryl and Adam McClure were greeters at Duff's United Church March 6.
