Times-Advocate, 1979-02-14, Page 6^a9® 6 Times-Advocate, February 14, 1979 Isn’t it exciting to be able to turn on the television, almost any time of the day or night, and see our favourite movie and TV stars? Some appear with their dogs, and they let us in on the secret of the great dog food that has helped their canine pals to live to such ripeold ages. One actor drinks a certain type of coffee, while an ac­ tress sips a certain elegant wine. A few stars snap pictures with certain cameras. They take shots of other stars or their loved ones or their pets. One actress sings and dances her way around the kitchen with a bottle of cook­ ing oil in her hand, while an old friend of hers explains to all of us how we can make cooking simpler so we’ll have more time for our families and other impor­ tant things. Praises of orange juice from Florida are given by a familiar lady; in Canada, we have our own songstress to tell us about the juice from the sunny south. Remember Annette Funicello from the Mickey Mouse gang and later from the beach party movies? She’s been popping up on TV lately to show us she’s rais­ ing her children properly. One country singer sells sausage, while another brags about pick up trucks. Toothpaste is a natural product for lovely singers and actresses to promote. When the camera zooms in Odds 'n ends Does it pay off? Meanwhile, an ex- television-cop warns us not Local ventriloquist entertains at lodge close, their teeth have to be their whitest and their brightest, and only one toothpaste works for them. Our Canadian snowbird left her nest to travel across the country telling us about the bank that’s hers and ours. A male Canadian singer sells breakfast cereal on his front porch, while two other well-known radio and TV personalities promote competitive food store chains. Athletes are now sharing the limelight. For a long time, baseball players have been advertising razors, shaving cream and other grooming aids. Now football players are getting into the act; one rushes for a car rental, while another models panty hose. Not to be out-done, hockey stars advertise everything from cars to breakfast cereal, TV dinners, pizza and soft drinks. Anonymity can strike even personalities that are recognized around the world. At least, that’s what we’re told by jockeys, tennis pros and even famous moun­ tain climbers. Where would they be without their charge card? to carry large amounts of cash on trips; travellers cheques protect us against thieves. Angels and ex-angels talk about the shampoo that is perfect for them. I suppose, what’s good enough for Farrah should be good enough for the rest of us. Commercials used to take nobodies and shoot them into fame and fortune. Take for example the tidy bowl man, Mr. Glad, the lonely Maytag repairman and the know-it-all manicurist. A few advertisers still use hidden cameras to get sup­ posedly unsolicited en­ dorsements of their products from ordinary Joes, like you and me. But more commercials these days are using the familiar faces and voices of movie and TV stars - a finan­ cial investment that boggles my mind. Does it pay off? Do we, the public, feed our dogs a certain brand of dog food because Lome tells us to? Do we really drink a cer­ tain kind of coffee or a cer­ tain wine because Ricardo and Angie say they like it? MR. AND MRS. GEORGE WHEELER Mr. and Mrs. George Wheeler of Woodham celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Friday with an Open House at the Woodham United Church. The couple was married February 9, 1929 at the Woodham United Church parsonage by Rev. T.C. Wilkinson. Mrs. Wheeler is the former Eva Cooke. They have two daughters Mrs. John (Phyllis) Rodd, Woodham and Mrs. Glenn (Verla) Copeland, RR 6, St. Marys and a son David Wheeler, RR 6, St. Marys. The couple resided on their farm east of Woodham until moving to Woodham about five years ago. T.A photo Human rights used as meeting's theme “Human Rights” was the theme of the afternoon unit’s meeting of Exeter U.C.W. Mrs. M. Dearing read an editorial taken from the January issue of “Man­ date”, telling of financial aid sent by the Division of World Outreach, to help relieve the distress in Zambia, caused by Rhodesian raids and the influx of refugees. Mrs. R.E. Pooley gave a short report of the Huron- Perth Presbyterial held in Exeter, January 30. This was followed by the Worship service which was prepared by Mrs. H.J. Snell but presented by Mrs. E. Russell and Mrs. E. McRoberts. A piano solo, “My Jesus I Love You,” by Mrs. Leila Finkbeiner was much en­ joyed. Mrs. Allan Johnson, held an “Interview” with Mrs. Russell, who took the part of an Indian woman who had married a white man. This revealed that by so doing the woman lost her Indian status. By an Act of Government, she and her children lost all Civil Rights. Though proud of her ancestors, she could not even be buried on the Reserve. The unfairness of the situation was brought out by the fact that an Indian man, married to a white woman, maintained his status and could confer Indian rights on his children. Quite a lively discussion of the subject followed. Red and white carnations were to have been presented to the lady present, whose birthday was nearest to February 14. However, she chose to have them sent to an elderly “shut-in” whose birthday is on that date. f DON'T f cur OFF CHILDREN'S LIVES - , JJ J*' ■ ..... - ..................................-X f Decorate your home with beautiful CUSTOM Choose the fabrics and the styles you want and Barb Whiting will custom make your drapes for you.
