best you have seen in Goderich?
ome on, Mr. Editor — you're
doing a terrific job — but, you
will have to go a long way to
beat THAT edition — for the
photography especially! (and the
Editor does the pictures too!)
Good going, Mr. Price and all
your little helpers. I feel, as
many around , town- and
especially those away from
town, that we should thank
SOMEONE for the great change
in the Signal -Star.
A ybar or so ago, three or four
friends who are miles away —
but still get their 'Signal' — were
on the verge of cancelling.
"Nothing in it for us" they said.
Now these same people have said
how much they are enjoying the
paper since there is much more

know people in Goderich —
outside of their families, that is.
And, too, it also makes them
acquainted with many new
people in our town. At one time
the town was small enough that
everyone knew everyone — and I
mean EVERYONE — AND their
business!
Now, there are so many new
faces — so many of the
children's children grown up
that we have a whole new
generation running the town and
its businesses.
So, that is why it is so
wonderful to have so much news
of Goderich and the large
New comedy show for
children to debut on Jan 2
A lighthearted new comedy
series designed to entertain and
inform young viewers in the
eight to twelve age group will
make its debut on the CBC -TV
network, Friday, Jan. 2, at 4:30
p.m.
The 12,week series is called
The Marbles and features six
bright young actors who
entertain in reasonably
fast -paced comedy sketches and
blackouts. They make as many
as 10 costume changes on each
'show as well as appearing as
themselves.
The performers, selected from
among some 80 who auditioned
before CBC -TV schools and
youth producer Gloria White,
are: Rudy Lavalle, Harriet
Cohen, Stephen Katz, Mary
Bellows,'Graham Teear and Gail
Malenfant.
"The Marbles does not follow
any strict formula format or
patter," says the producer, "but
subjects dealt with are chosen on
the basis of good taste,
kookiness and as much of an
understanding of today's
youngsters as one can possibly
have
this type of program is to try to
see the world from the child's CO 11 t9st
•
Mrs. White believes the key to
point of view, however difficult. w
Historical figures, for example,
are presented in a light manner.
In bidding Sir Francis Drake
goodbye as he pies off to meet
the Spanish Armada, Queen
Elizabeth warns him in a
"We also present
contemporary mores and
manners in a satirical way, social
advice for the young, and
questions and answers. In. short,
we take a look at most
everything that affects our
youngsters today — parents,
school, sports, current issues,
dating and fashion. Sometimes
our sketches have a message,
sometimes they are strictly for
fun."
Heard regularly throughout
the shows are, Mr. and Mrs.
Announcer — two off -camera
voices supplied by Al Maitland
and Maggie Morris. They
announce sketches, talk to the
marbles and talk between
themselves.
Appearing frequently
throughout the series are two
comical cavemen, Conklin and
Fogbert.
The Marbles is written by
David Mayer, William Lynn.

This is another reason why

Section" with a very nice lady

about little — and big — homey
news items. Many of your
friends would like to know who
your "special visitors"were.
For instance I've mentioned
different people, like our old
• friend plucky Doak and 'family
who now live at Sharbot Lake
(Ontario). Everyone, I'm sure,
knew Bucky. .
Yoti never met a more
friendly, more cheerful person
than Buck and he made you feel
your aches and pains were Id! in
your head — and he was liable to
TELL you so! He had his bad
moments, being handicapped as
he was, but he would never talk
about it.
He has just come thro' a
terrific operation and is now
home from hospital in Ottawa
and like his old self again. (He's
just too ornery to lie down for
long). We all wish him well, for
there are not too many
"Buckies" in this world.
Now, this is the sort of thing I
like to tell you about so that
you can keep track of your old
friends — but I have to be TOLD
about it — I just don't know
THAT many. So a note to
Shirley Keller — or tell me —
you know I'm a big
blabbermouth! and everyone can
enjoy hearing of folks in and
around Cialerich.
Oh, —Twilit to tell you that
I'rn sure if you hadn't ALL
wished for nice weather for that
Santa Parade it would have been
terrible. That's co-operation for
you!
So, I think we will be talking
about Christmas for a long time.
Have a nice one.
