With the end of A ug us t
almost upon us, we are getting
ready for the fall season in more
ways than one. CB(' has an -
nounced some of their fall plans,
telling us about new shows and
some old ones returning. One
of the freshest new series ap -
pears to he something shown on
Sunday evenings in the 9-10 slot-
now
lotnow occupied by "Bonanza"
with some shows running 90
minutes. It will be a variety
series, with everything from
'soup to nuts', so to speak.
There will,be musical variety,
comedy, original Canadian
drama, classic drama, and
classical music --a little like
last season's "Show of T h c
Week" but with greater variety.
The series will begin on Sep-
tember 2Lst with some comedy,
satire to be precise, ca lied
"That's Canada For You!" It's
a joke for Canadians about Ca-
nadians and our custodia, and
will include such things as a
dance by the 'Fathers of con-
federation' and a Trudeau love-
. song! It stars, among others,
Paul Soles, Jay Nelson and Carol
Robinson. On September 28th
you will be able to see "Mari-
posa: A Folk Festival", a peek
at the Toronto Islands where
the Festival is held, and a por-
tion of this year's show with
Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and
Ian and Sylvia.
Looking ahead, the first
Wayne and Shuster Special
(there will be four during the
year) will be shown on Noveni-
ber 9th; and a special by.Juli-
ette will be seen on December
28th. Among the dramatic•of-
ferings1 will be a five-part series
about (a doctor; written by a
doctor who is, now a writer, its
title continues the trend in CBC
series and' uses the doctor's
'name, "Corwin:". John Horton.
stars as the Dr.., with g u es,t
stars Margot Kidder, Eileen
Heckart, Nehemiah Persoff, and

139 Vonni Lee
Eric Christmas.
Other dramas include: "Pow-
er Trip", the world of big
business, with Lee Patterson and
Sharon Acker; " The Mercenar-.
ies" , a young Canadian clergy-
man ,corking on the African
mission fields, starring Marc
Strange; " I31ack Phoenix", a
story of a self-styled Nazi lead-
• er, with Sinton Oakland and
Jackie Burroughs; and the class-
ic by Ben Jonson, "Volpone",
starring Jack Creley in the title
role.
In the planning stages for
the series, arc two shows that
sound terrific --a comic review
of the 1960's and an etltnic var-
iety hour, featuring the music
and folk dances of many of our
ethnic groups. Sounds like a
good series, eh? I presume it
is only 'taking over' Bonanza's
time slot, not pushing it out al-
together. We'll have to wait
and see!

Charging from every front
page these past few weeks has
been the grimnlest story to
eminate from Holywood since
the murder of pretty starlet
Karen Kupcinet, a few years
ago. It is, of course, the mur-
der of actress Sharon Tate and
her friends, .which is still un-
solved. Sharon had just recent-
ly made the big -.time with her
acting, doing a number of tel-
evision roles and starring in the
movie "Valley of the Dolls".
She was married to director
Roman Polanski who was 'the
guiding light behind -" R o s c-
mary's Baby" which starred
,their pal Mia .Farrow.
Another reason for sorrow
was the death by accidental
shooting of Bill Lennon, the dad
of the famous Lennon Sisters.

favourite family around Movie -

A member of 99 Bty. 21st

much. missed by the local- unit.
He was a most impressive Jun-
ior Non -Commissioned Officer'
who grasped military subjects
very quickly. ,His loyalty and
dedication to thc local unit
were an example for all: Hc
was a top-notch instructor and
superb drill serg.cant. When• a
job that required hard work and
knowledge carne up he could be
counted on to perform the duty
with a good deal of profession-
alism, 'eldom seen in this day

There arc many more super-

that we are proud to.know him,
The Old Gunner's prediction
is that he wilt some day com-
mand formations larger than

.Among; the performers will
be a long list of local skiers and
several guests frotn neighbour -
ing towns.
The show will get under way
with the Flag Salute with Bon-
nie and Marian' Willie and Mar-
lene McNall. There will be
slioe skiing, disc skiing byStcve
Corrie; barefoot skiing by Bob
Lowry of Blyth and turn-arounds
by Blyth's Ray Radford.
Jumping is always exciting
as the skiers zoom over the high
jump. The jumpers will in-
clude Bob Lowry, Ray Radford,
I3ob Deyell and a couple o f
young fellows nearing, or past,
the 50 -year mark, Ab Penner of
Teeswater and Russell Purdon
of Whitechurch. Thcre will be
slalom skiing featuring the for-
mer Silver Lake champion,
Wingham's own Bonnie Willie

act with Agnes Lowry and Bill
Niesen.
Most people find it hard
enough to ski on the water but
someone will be taking to the
air as Agnes Lowry, Bill Niesen
and Ray Radford combine in the
pyramid. Not too often do you
find a whole family taking to
wateriding, but we have two
family acts, the Penner family
from Teeswater and the Purdons
from Whitechurch with no less '
than fiye Purdon slalom skiiers.
Then, of course, the kids
from 2 to 90 will get a load of
laughs from the clown act. We
understand the Kinsmen have a
special act planned but they
won't reveal the details. Don't
be surprised if you see them
come up with something hilari-
ous like a log rolling contest!
