Again in 1971, the star who drew the most people to theatres throughout North Ar,nerica was, John Wayne. He was named No, 1 or Mr. Big or whatever you want to call him, last week by the theatre owners' poll, which has been, conducted every year for the past forty. He would also probably be the star who has been in the top -ten list the most •number of time,s. John Wayne is•the eternal -star type., His pictures, whether they are westerns, adventure dramas or comedies, draw people. He could probably play ,Peter Pan and be the »biggest hit, in the'coun- try ! „ He isn't all that great an *tor; but he accepts only. those Parts for -which' he s best fitted. 'He' shies away from:YdnarifIc h4i16 parts though he could still easily get away with such a role. 'His roles are action and as he said in 1970 when he won the 'best actor' Oscar for "True Grit", he has al- ways managed to give a two-hbur performance without resorting to taking off his clothes for the American public! This ought to say something to other stars!. What- also should say some. , thing is the fact that again this year, only one female has made it to. the top ten list, and this on the basis of one picture only, not the, fact that she» is a great star. Ali McGraw, whom everyone loved in "Love Story" .was No. 8. The others are all 'action' men' like Wayne and from No. 2 down are Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, George C. Scott (last year's Oscar winner for his great performance in "Patton"), Dustin Hoffman, Walter .Mat- thau„Sean Connery and Lee Mar- vin. With the exception perhaps of Newman and Connery, there ' isn't a leading man among them! 6 THE DUO OF Paul Orescan and Dave Demerling of RR 2, Clifford were acclaimed a winning act at the Talent Hunt Thursday night. Paul Orescan accepts the prize from Lions prw,ident Lloyd Casemore on behalf of himself and fellow ‘,,rdionist Staff Pilot°. The public must be getting sick of schmiltzy and'schmaltzy movies and are now in favor of strong and'brave he-men who prefer an adventurous and daredevil sort of existence. 0-0—n Back in 1966 and 1967, the above list was headed by a pert little English miss whose • upturned little nose and sweet canary -like voice charmed everyone. A big hit in Broadway's vrsion of "My Fair Lady", Julie Andrews, headed to Hollywood. But instead of giving her the lead in the movie version of the hit play, Jack.War-. ner gave it to Audrey Hepburn who couldn't sing a note 'bit at least was well known, » Instead, Julie had to settle for the role of, an insignificant Eriglisih nanny .{441`0 ffeW, of all things, dr a Walt Disney movie. "Tsk, tsk', motter- ed everyone in sympathy for the pdor wronged girl and her popu- larity soared, so much that her 'Mary Poppins' role won her an Oscar while Audrey Hepburn who worked five times as -hard didn't even get a nomination. . For a few years, Julie changed the movie industry, brought back entertainment, though unfor- tunately,'it didn't last. ,Luckily, though, the movie industry didn't change Julie; 'she Said.nay,to all the scripts that would have taken away her title of a lady. So, What was left for her? Well, it has beeh announced that Julie has signed a television contract for ABC for a muSical- Comedy series, 24 one-hour epi- sodes to begin next season on the American network. The contract is worth somewhere in the neigh- borhood of five million which is,a pretty nice neighborhood to live in, wouldn't you It also'calls for two movie to' be made in Britain for a British company but the big thing is the TV'series for a girl whountil now has been featured -only in specials. This . could be a whole new°ball game for Julie; she has enthralled theatre goers, movie fans and now will have a chance at' the largest audienceof her career. She'll swing it; she hasn't met anything yet she couldn't handle. 'Twould be nice if Canada would carry at least some of the enter- taining productions: DROP. 2, WIN 1 Wingham Minor Tykes • elled to Belgrave Saturday morn- ing and lost to the home team 12- 1. The Major Tykes fared much " better at Lucknow Saturday night. winning their game 4-0. Mike Rintoul and John Penny scored in the first period and Leo Kinahan counted twice in the third. Kincardine again proved to be • the nemesis for Wingham teams Saturday, afternoon when the lakeshore club shut out Wingham Major Novice club 5-0. Despite the score against him, Doug Tay- lor in the Wingham net played a good game. Use the "buddy" system when snowmohiling and travel with twO machines, or more. Two people can push one "dead" snowmobile only% short distance through heavy sno.w. It takes an- other machine of comparable size or larger, to tow a stalled machine home, or to go for help. ,SNOWMOBILE SAFETY—Ontario's Minister of Transpor- tation and Communications, Charles MacNaughton learned first hand what the London OPP are doing to promote snow- mobile safety among local clubs. A snowmobile safety, demonstration was held in conjunction with the DTC Lon- don Road Safety Workshops Conference. The Minister is shown above riding behind Const. Jansen of the OPP Goderich Detachment. Watching the safety demonstration are members of four snowmobile clubS in the London area and OPP personnel who arranged the safety demonstration. Department considers feasibility of issuing probationary • licence LONDON — Probationary licences for all novice drivers was a key proposal that emerged from a three-day series of Road Safety Workshops held in Lon- don, Ontario, last wee; and at- tended by more than, 700 dele- gates. . The "proposal was supported particularly by young people at- tending the workshops, organized by Ontario's Department of Transportation and Communica- ;lions. Richard Samborski, of Bath- urst Heights Secondary 'School, Toronto, summed up the .feeling • of young 'people when he told delegate.that '.heginner drl'OerS should 'be suspended' after ac- cumulating seven demerit points, rather than the current 15— "whether they are 16 years old. or .60". • Charles MacNaughton,, Minis- ter of Transportation and Com- munications, said he is consider- ing the feasibility of a "proba- .tionary" licence for all drivers for the first 12 months after they have passed the driving test. The novice would receive a perma- nent licence only if his record showed he had earned the right. Delegates at one of the six workShops'Voted overwhelmingly: in -favor of making the wearing of seat belts mandatory, but Mr. MacNaughton aid that, while this "is. being vigorously studied and' pursued" there are serious problems to be considered, par- ticularly the question of enforce- ment. Gordon Mackie, safety engi- neer.' for Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd., said • "there have been no fatalities .in North America up.to speeds of 60 mph where people 'have been properly belted in" with shoulder and lap harnesses. Infant car seats also attract -ed considerable discussion. Dele- gates were told that many child car seats now on the market do not provide the protection chil- dren need. , "In fact:: said Walter Rey- • nolds, OntaFio's director of safety, "some of the restraints are an absolute menace," He said this .whole issue was. critical he cause every day children are • treated 01 hospitals after ear in juries which aren't caused by col lisions but by.panic stops. Mrs. Joy Moon, the Con smilers Association of Canada. • criticized the automobile mann facturers for not advertising their infant carrier seats. The in dustry'S—Spokesnien agreed they do deserve greater advertising emphasis. Mr. MacNaughton said his de partment has not yet found im ac ceplable child restraint but work is underway with the Canadian Standards Association to develop • an acceptable design standard that can he legislated. One of the luncheon speakers. former Arizona Governor How ard Pyle, president of the 1. S. National Safety Council, severl‘,' "criticized the allocation of kalifs to traffic collisions by the 1' S government . Ile said the average age of a cancer victim will 63.4 cbmpared with 36.9 for a traffic. victim President Nixon has allocated $1 6 billion for carter over the next I hree years On a eompara- live analysis, this means $1.3 bil- lion should be allocated to traffic accidents,, or $435 million a year compared with the actual budget of only $76.7 million for fiscal • 1973.' is only one-sixth of what we should be getting to deal with one of the most tragic, problems facing our society,' Governor Pyle said. Another guest speaker, Direc- tor -General W. G. Alexander, of Britain's Royal Society for the 'Prevention of Accidents, said that» the first four years of' en= forcement of -the -breathalyzer legislation, shoed deaths. and in- juries from auto accident were "slightly, but significantly, down" despite an increase in the number of drivers and cars' and miles travelled. He said there is growing sup- port in Britain to lower the 'per- missible amount of alccihol from .08 percent—the same level as in Canada—to .05 percent. Windsor Police Chief Gordon Preston criticized ."the bleeding hearts" who challenge the breathalyzer laws on civil rights grounos lie said the public and press become quickly alarmed over increases in street crimes, but do not appear concerned over deaths and injuries from traffic collisions. He demanded stricter enforcement of laws. - Goderich lawyer James Don- nelly, Q.C., also argued for stiffer legislation for traffic offences. He said "people are no longer willing to play Russian roulette on our roads and are prepared to accept new controls". Mrs. Seeta Sinclair of London, and a member of the Canada Safety Council, said parents aren't backing up what the schools are doing in safety pro- grams. "No child under the age of nine should have a bicycle. They even ride them to. kinder- garten. it's the most dangerous toy a kid could have." A. A. Kirk, assistant superin- tendent with the Department of Education, said his department is reviewing the whole role of driver education in secondary schools 411 and be thought that driver educa- tion could perhaps eventually be- come a credit option. Brian Hughes, an Oakville teacher, proposed that an As- sociation of High School Driver Instructors be formed by teach- ers to. influence course content and liaise on driver education. 'Brig. -Gen. Bruce Legge, chair- man of the Workmen's Compen- sation Board, .told a luncheon audience that 1,700 occupational accidents are reported to the On- tario Board every day. "The vic- tims,represent one of every eight members of the Province's work force". Nearly half the industrial accidents involve transportation. ,He suggested that if seat belts were more widely used, the acci- dent rate would be cut. "There is little doubt that if (he judiciary can be convinced of the merits of seat belts in deciding negligence eases., the legislators may decide that their use should be .written into law." At a school safety education workshop, delegates generally agreed the existing law regard- ing when a school bus should flash its signals to load or unload children is confusing to motor- ists. They urged that the province clarify the law by requiring a bus to flash signals anytime children are loading or unloading, regard- less of ;he speed limit. The road safety workshops were the 18th held by the depart- ment in the past 13 years. The traffic safety conference is held in a different region of the prov- ince each year. to Stimulate awareness and involvement by the public in safety. 10. The young husband wrote home from his new job, saying: "Made foreman—feather in my cap." A few. weeks- later he wrote again, saying: "Made manager—an- other feather in my cap." After some weeks, he wrote again say- ing: "Fired—send money for train fare." His wife unfeelingly telegeaphecl back: "Use feathers and fly home." 1 Fula i - CARE HELPS THEM Before children can go to school, the school must be built! BUILD THEIR FUTURE The first step in the construction of a village school Is the loan of a Cinva-Ram block -making machine by CARE. With the.addition of some cement to the local soil, villagers can produce sturdy blocks for building structures such' as community or nutrition centers, fresh water facilities or even a family home. Thus, CARE helps build self-reliance and -hope for the future. Help CARE celebrate its 25th anniversary. 0 4 • 44 m
