Oa. 24, 1968 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. 0--0-0 • 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. 0-0-0' 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 UCTION SALE FORMOSA COMMUNITY HALL FORMOSA, ONTARIO ties clY.

Net very high 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 work to get a fair deal? No , they want to be ptoud to say they live in Wingham, believe in Wingham, and get a fair.deal in Wingham. 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. • Disgusted.
