For the first time this season,
kx Barris' Saturday night show
had Sonne lifer Eartha Kitt was
there and she is the gal who has
told off a number of famous
people. Lady Bird Johnson
among them.. Miss. Kitt does
not mince words' and when Barris
got a bit mouthy, she promptly
told him to "shut up", She has
had a hard life and many times.
has had to speak for her rights,
and no one can change her ideas
or, I suppose, her ideals, in a
world where she has had to claw
and struggle to get to die - top.
She is not looking as lovely as
she once did, Tut she still po-
ssesses that magic something
and inimitable singing style that
inade her a star in the 50s.

As I told you last week, Alex
Barris is losing his show: hbw-
ever, not at the end of Decem-
ber .as I then said, but at the
enc4of January,_ as the ".replace-
ment cannot begin until then.
His replacement is a'comedy.
variety show entitled "Comedy
Cafe", which originates in •
Mcntreal and is now being shown
there on a Monthly basis. It
will star Barrie Baldaro,' Dave
Broadfoot, Peter. Cullen, Joan
Stuart and Ted Zeigler, some
of these names familiar to us
from Canadian revue -type shows
in which they have starred in
previous years. We will have to
wait until February, to see if '
'these kids have anything to of -

The American musicians'
strike paralyzed a few things on
Americantelevision. Ed Sul-
livan, for instance, did not
present a show at all during the
time of the strike, October
• 31st to near the end of Novem-
ber. (His shows during` that
time were filmed repeats. )But
those id charge of Alan King's:
special (seen a weekago on
"Showof the Week"). wanted
to, prove to the musicians that
they' were not all that indispen-
sable.. There wasn't a note from
one instrument during the whole
hour; instead, a group of 31
high %school kict called the "By
George Singers", .provided all
the musical background, And
I'll bet you wouldn't have even
ltnown, if youhadn't been told,
would you? Maybe it was shows
like that that made the musi-
dans go back to work. Now
they know they can be replaced
at anytime. Just to snake all
musicians feel better, though,
I must admit one sure does milk.
the soutld of brass and percuss-
ion, in those productions.
Just between you and me, and
Little Orphan Annie, don't yolk -
sometimes wonder how Mrs.
Muir ("The Ghost and Mrs. Muir)
on a poor, struggling writer's
salary, can afford to dress like
a fashion plate and keep a
maid? I have reached a con-
clusion-=either Mr. Muir left a
tidy sum or the Ghost is tossing l'
something into the Kitty! Ser..,°�
iously, though, if you were
choosing the most beautiful new
television star this season it
would be a toss-up between her
who is Hope Lang in real life,
and •Diahann Carroll on "Julia".

s bles a dream walking!

The Qbservatio'n Post
BY THE OLD GUNNER
This week we received a
phone call from Capt "Marg-
ret" Graves, CWA 'our adju-
tant. Capt Graves has had to
move to Ottawa as her husband,
Major Graves who is an officer
with the Regular Force, was
posted to that city. Until re-
cently Major Graves was sta-
tioned at CFB Clinton. So
therein lies the tale. Marg has
moved to Ottawa and will
shortly be taken off our strength
and go on with her service in
the Militia with the Ottawa
Service Battalion. Capt Graves
is a real "old soldier". She has
been serving either in the Ac-
tive Force (wartime) or 'the Mil-
Itia since 1943. This unit will
sorely miss a soldier of her ex-
perience. Good luck Capt
Graves,

phase, which will consist of
eight whole days during the I
Christmas school break. pro-
viding we can get the extra Man

"Man Day Quota" What is
that? Well the Militia from
one side of Canada to the other
has just so much money buget- •
ed from Ottawa for paying M -

quarterly at CF 1Q, Ottawa and
is dependant On ghat is left in

L/Bdr "Red" Elliott has been
on the sick list. We, really do
not know what is wrong with our
"Red". ' .maybe it is because of
Christmas at the post office.
We understand the Posties really
go all out at this time of year.
New to our unit and in the
Documentation Stream are Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel Cardinal of
Wroxeter. Dan is the account-
ant with the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce in Wroxe-
ter. They hail from Sudbury.
Dan was a corporal with the
33rd Technical Squadron RCEME
and is a weapons technician. A
most welcomed addition to our
CWAC (Women clerks) is Mrs.
Susan Cardinal. This reminds
us of a former husband and wife
team belonging to the unit some
tfme ago, Barbara and Lloyd
"Digger" Dawson. We sincere-
ly hope their service to 21 Field
Regiment will be as illustrious
as the Dawson's. .
