To television this season
cope two stars new to the world
Of televisien drama: from the
world Of night clubs. Broadway
shows and TV musical specials, '
cornea Diahann Carroll, while
•the movie world has lent us its
biggest boxoffice star, Doris
Dayin her first TV appear-
ance. The series are similar
in other ways—both stars play
Viet Nam w idows who are
struggling to raise their sons
(Doris 'with two, and, Diahann
with one). The same situation
exists in countless American
homes and to most real-life
widows, I suppose it is anything
but funny. But these series are
to entertain and they bring us
some adventures of these sep-
arate families, some that are
funny and some that are sober-
ing.

Doris Day has become a
widow in New York, and for
the sake .of her young sons .who
need wide open spaces and a
man around the house, 'she has
moved to the southwest to live
with her father, a widower.
She takes with her a housekeep-
er and to add to fun on the
farm she'has to cope with a
scatterbrained hired man named
• Leroy, who would rather play
hide-and-seek with the kids
than work; and a lovable big
slob of a dog named Lord Nel-
• son. Occasionally.she gets
• dressed up but she looks mizre
at home in jeans, as Doris most
often does.
'Tis
Show Biz
By Vonni Lee
At almost middle -age, she
still looks like she could be
playing the girl.next-door. She
bubbles with enthusiasin, can
make you laugh one minute
and cry the next. She Is re-
puted to be television's highest-
paid star, as it took a great
deal to lure her to the televis-
ion studios. Her co-stars are
Denver Pyle who plays her fa-
ther; Fran Ryan (her housekeep-
er); James Hampton (Leroy);
with Philip Brown and Tod
Starke as her two sons. Her
theme song is her hit recording
"Que Sera, Sera" from the mov.
ie "The Man Who Knew Too.
Much"- of a number of years
ago. The show was produced
by Marty Melcher, Doris' late,..
husband, who died earlier this
year.

In comparison, Diahann Car-
roll's series is maybe a bit bet-
ter written, with some fine
story material in the scripts that
have been presented thus far.
Also in comparison, Diahanri,,
a striking Negro girl wholike
Doris is also a popular singer,
always looks like a fa sh i on
plate. She has stayed in the
big city and works as a nurse to
support herself and son Corey.
Diahann could put on a turnip
sack and she would still look
gorgeous. She sweeps into your •
livingroom like Loretta Young,
all beauty, charm and gracious-
ness --as though each time she
walked into her kitchen she

wages, definitely not the Gov't
standard, for someone with first
class papers on keeping house
and 10 years experience in home
making. Is homemaldng and
raising children becoming such
a second class occupation in
Canada? 1)p the worldng wid-
ows want to drive 40 miles to

they want to be ptoud to say
they live in Wingham, believe

There are the young marrieds
and older marrieds ratting fam-
ilies. Are these the people who
should be interested in new' ill
dustry in Wingham? What is
going to become of their chil-
dren work wise or would they
prefer our largest export to be
our young people? Maybe
everyone has an' idea their chil-
dren are going to have a higher
intelligence than most, and
won't have to work in industry.
This leaves a limited num
-
bet of people really alarmed
about the present and future of
..0
our town and vicinity. There
are still the working class with
no Jobs available. What is go -
Ing to become of them? One
pay cheque in a house would be
really appreciated by a good
deal of these people. Lucky
Mrs. Working Wife. What about
the women who really need
iliac Jobs? Extinct in our town
you say. Absolutely not.
We need another industry in
town, even a second rate one
with second rate pay, to really
hire our town and immediate
vicinity's unemployed, mana-
ged not by unfair, prejudiced '
women and men but by quali-
fied, fair dealing people who
can see work potential in their
own community equal to strang-
ers. Would our citizens be
hired because of the need of
employment. or screened for
their desirability?
We, the people 'of Wingham
and vicinity regardless of age,
race, Colour or creed all have
something in common, the
need for money. To think the
ratepayers and people of this
community have to fill out
forma to let the town fathers
knOW the need of industry.
