This year's chairman, Jack Gillespie, says they "haven't quite filled the first show," with three or four spots still open. "Lots of people don't want to be in the first, Sllow, because they want more time to practise," he explained, "but without .a first show, we can't have a second:" The Lions will sponsor , four talent shows this year, three regular and one "Show of -Stars" to include the top four talents from the regular shows. They are scheduled for Jan. 30, Feb. 27, March 27 and April 24. The shows will be held in the auditorium of the town hall to start at 8 p.m., and tickets will be sold at the door for the regular shows. Mr. Gillespie said the talent will come from the entire area. He also said the Lions are hoping for a big turnout: "There's usually a good turnout; at least there has been in the past." This is the fourth year for Lions to sponsor the talent shows in Wing - ham. Afraid you're going deaf?
