Ptage a.Q =W ham Advance -Times, Thursday, June 5. 1969 'Tis Show Biz On a late-night version of "This Land of Ou>; last week- end, the CBC -TV department of agriculture -and resources vis- ited our Western Ontario town of Goderich, for a look at the harbour and the salt mines Un- fortunately, shdwn at the hour it was, not too many would have the opportunity to see the half-hour production. The production crew came to Goderich early this. spring to capture, on film, the arrivals of the first ships breaking the ice in the harbour, and to in- troduce viewers to interesting people who make Lake Huron their "home away from home". Producer John Lackie also show- ed the salt mines, where salt was discovered 106 years ago and where production now ex - ceeds a million tons a year. Quite a• story about quite a town ' which we in 'home` territory' take too much for granted. 0--0--0 The new Saturday night var- iety show is for the yo ung which won't do much to ensure its success, I fear. Let's face it; the young are not sittingwith heads in the boob toob on Sat- urday night's! It is called "One More Time", originates in Montreal, and stars Gilbert Price and the new group, 3's A Crowd, with guest performers. It is presented BY the young, too, with Price an enthusiastic 26 -year-old and his singing group ranging •in age from 19 to 25. Price is a native New Yorker who has played "yin off-Broadway shows and 'the summer] stock theatre circuit; toiiired with Harry Belafonte and' the Leon- ard De Paur Chorus, and won an award for his Broadway role • ' Ialance our savini..,, setup Get three convenient savings accounts at Victoria and Grey ... one paying 4% on which you write cheques— one at 6% (no cheques but you can withdraw) and highest rate Guaranteed Investment Certificates paying you 8°1o, WCTORZ4ad yr GREY VG "RUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 LISTOWEL ONT. By Vonni Lee in Anthony Newley's play, "The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd". The 3's A Crowd have been together •since 1967, all are Canadians and write a lot of their own material. The show's talent is good enough and they have so me great guests but like I said, they appeal mainly to the young audience which they don't have on Saturday evenings. Ah -well, that time slot is jinxed anyway --entertainers shouldn't touch it with a ten -foot "pole ! 0--0--0 The Television Emmy Awards will be awarded on June 8th, and nominations are published now. Some of course, are not seen in Canada, so will be of little interest to you. The shows, that are nominated with which you may be familiar, a r e "Laugh -In" which holds • th e record for the most nominations, 11: That is the Rowab and Mart- in comedy show that surprised everyone last year by taking al- most all of the awards. I t s nominations this year include ones for outstanding variety series, outstanding variety pro- gram, and honours for the show's performers and writers. "Mission Impossible" receiv- ed eight 'nominations; it too has been a strong winner other years The cancelled Smothers Broth- ers Show also received some nominations, as did other can- celled shows. The Emmy Awards will ori- ginate live with the CBS net- work in the U.S. , with live coverage of winners making ac- ceptance speeches in' New York and in Hollywood. Local Lions at convention The 49th annual Lions Con- vention, held in Ottawa May 24 to 28, was the biggest and best yet, drawing over 1,Q,„QQ0 *'lions to the city. Lions Lloyd Casemore and Bill COnrron were the Wingham delegates.. . The Sunday parade•was the largest ever seen in Ottawa with 160 entries from eleven districts across O n t a r i o and Quebec. An unhappy incident occurr- ed when John J. Farmer, chair- man iof the convention, died from a heart attack Saturday afternoon, just after the con- vention started. Bluevale • Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Thorn- ton and Cindy spent the week- end in Toronto with Mr. and Mrs. John Madill and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stonehouse. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Street and -family of Listowel, and Stuart McCannell of. Hamilton,. spent Sunday with Mrs.. M. L. Aitken. THE KINSMEN INITIATION held last Tuesday night left three new members of the club wondering whether it was all worth the trouble. Alex Strong, Left, Bill Johnston and Dan Marsdin were painted, herded onto a truck, driven around town and generally harassed by club members for about an hour. The ceremony was part of the initiation ritual.—A-T Photo. Thi Observation Post BY THE OLD GUNNER • • to do the work of ten.
