in so, few that the children had an opportunity to wear
summer clothing in comfort.—A-T Photo.

Thirty-five members of a
group called The Good Com-
pany are back 'doing their
thing' on CBC Television this
year. They spent the entire.
winter at a workshop, designed
to make them 'pros' and they
have become pros, in every
sense of the word. "It's Our
Stuff" is the title of their sum-
mer series Mondays at 9 p.m. ,
and the kids dance, sing, act,
and just plain 'have a lot of
fun'. In addition to their work
in front of the cameras, some
. also write portions of the show.
Many of the girls have had bal-
let training, and all take their
work seriously and have worked
hard to develop 'their talent,
personality; and stage presence.
Some of the finest voices in
Canada are probably part of
this group right now, with many
fine young song -writers as well.
A very interesting facet of the
show, is the personal introduc-
tion to some of the kids; they
begin as only .a face, then you
hear aar acne nand learn sone-
thing of what makes them tick,
and they almost become friends
for the summer!

Jolly Old England is the
birthplace of the summer Kraft
Music Hall, and no wonder it's
jolly with Norman Wisdom
around! He is one of.the regu-
lars on the show, and a very
funny entertainer. The hosts
are Tony Sandler and Ralph
Young, a singing team who
work mainly in the U. Si, They
are natural, always at ease,
good with their guests and act
as though they never say a mean
word to one another. They are
different from most singing
teams, in that each of them
sings a different song at the
same time, . and this has brought
them praise and popularity
everywhere they go. Try it
with a friend sorrietirne; you'll
find it's not easy!
The boys' hosting assistant
is Judy Carne, a former English
girl who once starred in "Love
on a Rooftop" and is now . in .
"Laugh -In'. Like most of the
Laugh -In performers, you can
only take Judy so long then she

lous. She really deserves s o e -

beginning to think so too!

The British pop group The
Rolling Stones were hit a bit
hard last week with the drown-
ing death off one of their mem-
bers, Brian Jones. The life of
show biz for Britain's young .
has not been .a bed of roses. But
then, life is only what you
make of it! In Hollywood,
actor -businessman Ben Alexan-
der died last week. He is re-
membered as Jack Webb's co-
star on -"Dragnet". And has
Elizabeth Taylor really said she
is retiring? I'll believe that
when I see it! These people
who have grown up with show
business in their blood can't
turn if off like water. A ft e r
awhile, any role will look good
and she'll be back. The only
thing that would really force
retirement would be a recur-
rence of her back ailment or
other serious illness.
Asked to send
information
for family tree
For most, summer means
more work. Blit if you are one
of the lucky ones who can "got
away from it all" for a week or
in this hot weather, take a
few good books with you. You
can obtain several at the Bel -
more Library, open Tuesdays
and Saturdays, 2:00 to 5:00
p.m. It is located in the In-
stitute Room at the community
centre and during the weeks
that it has been located there,
more books have been taken
out than during all of 1968.
This is evidence that more lo-
cal people are taking advantage
of fine reading material. If
you haven't visited the library
yet, by all means do so. It is
another indication of the pro -
gressiveness of our small com-
munity.

Actual photo of plates being removed from a mechanically defective car in
Windsor during the police Safety Check.
Around this time each year a police safety check is conducted in Wingham.
No one knows for sure when- it will arrive,
The Insurance Institute for Highways reports 42% of all vehicles inspected
during these checks do not pass the minimum- safety requirements. Major
defects are centered around improper wheel alignment ° andsteering assembly.
Before the Safety Check arrives, have us check your car for mechanical,defects.
If your problem is wheel alignment . of steering assembly, well steer you
straight to safety. If your problem is Shock Absorbers, Windshield Wipers,
poor Headlight aim or Wheel Vibration, you can depend on us to take care
of ' that too.
We want you to pass the Safety Check before you do your holiday driving —
Because we intend to do some driving too. We'd all feel a lot safer if we
knew your car wasmechanically fit.
