G. Alan Williams OPTOMETRIST Patrick St., Wingham Phone 357-1282 Last week's edition of 'Par- ade', featuring "Triple Play... Plus Two", was a most amus- ing half-hour and not to be compared with the first effort by its stars, Max Ferguson, Larry Mann and Jack Creley. (Jack was not in that produc- tion the third member was Don Harron.) This was much fun- nier and more exciting to watch. The 'plus two' were Bill Walker, host of the show, who sparkled like a diamond in the sketches, and Cynthia Kelly, who looks like a very promis- ing performer. It would be hard to pick out one segment that appealed to the audience more than the others; all their humour was topical yet in good taste. Personally, I enjoyed Jack Creley's folk song about Bob Goulet and Cynthia's 'life- time' segment, for which the makeup department should re- ceive credit for the way in which she aged so beautifully. All in all, I thought it was a tremendous half-hour, about the best of the series, in fact, SMORGASBORD SUPPER WITH STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DESSERT SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 5 - 8 P.M.

FISH POND FOR CHILDREN 'Tis Show BIZ By Vonni Lee and a real credit to Canadian television and talent. 0--0--0 Friday must have been 'Pat Hervey Night' in Toronto, for we saw her in two guest appear- ances within one hour. Before the excitement from 'Country Hoedown' where she first ap- peared, had died down, she was singing up a storm on The Tommy Ambrose Show. This was quite a switch from what we had seen of her before; there were hardly more than ten minutes of the show that were not occupied by her songs. She sang popular and old songs, ballads and swingers, sounded great in them all, and seemed confident and poised before her large audience. She is from Toronto and is fast becoming our biggest young star. She has made records but she should care if they sell, what with all the television work that is beckoning. She's one of the few who can sound like a west- ern singer, a folk singer, or a pop singer, whatever the oc- casion commands. With all her talent, too, she hasn't for- gotten to work on her personal- ity, which should add much to her success. 0--0--0 Bob Goulet, the young star who got his start in this fair . land of ours, confronted the world with some happy, though not surprising news last week when he disclosed that he would marry musical -comedy star Carol Lawrence in New York in August. The 29 -year-old sing- er who starred in the Broadway hit "Camelot", is now playing night clubs in the U.S. and made the announcement from the playground of the west, Las Vegas, where he was appearing at the time. During the sum- tner, he and his prospective UP THEY GO --Volunteer helpers by the dozen were on hand this week for the raising of the first arches of the new Belgrave Arena. The arches weigh two tons each and were hoisted into place by means of a block and tackle arrangement powered by tractors. The structure will replace the old arena in which roof members cracked under weight of snow last winter. —Advance -Times Photo. Alvin D. Smith Gives Report GODERICH--The matter of a Homemakers Service, under consideration by the Children's Aid Society for about two years, was discussed by the wardens and personnel committee at a recent meeting. "It was suggested," stated the committee report by chair- man Alvin D. Smith, "that this service would commence in one centre in the county and be evaluated from this point, and bride will make a cross-coun- try tour together, then he will come to Canada to star in the C. N. E. Grandstand Show. Carol Lawrence is the 28 -year- old brunette whom you have seen so frequently on the Ed Sullivan and Garry Moore Shows She first gained recognition when she starred on Broadway in the role of Maria in "West Side Story". Since that time, she has starred in other less success- ful Broadway shows and last year, proved she also had tal- ent as an actress, when she had a lead role in "A View from the Bridge" for a Hollywood studio. Both she and Bob have been married once before; he has a six-year-old daughter, Nicol- ette. This has been a big year for Bob; following his matri- monial leap, he will go to Hollywood to make his first mo- tion picture. All we can say is, "It couldn't happen to a nicer guy!" 0--0--0 All the stories coming out of Hollywood this week were not as happy as Bob Goulet's news. Last Friday the entire world was shocked and saddened when it was announced that actress Zasu Pitts had died, another victim of cancer. She has been a star for many of her 63"years, be - if satisfactory we would en- large the service at a later date. If a town were to form a ser- vice of this kind, it could be a pilot project and we could evaluate it in the interests of a county setup." The committee did not con- cur in a proposed salary range of $4, 100 to $5, 000 for Class III social workers of the Child- ren's Aid. "The county has very little to do with the Children's Aid," said the chairman, "and though we spend considerable money we have very little control, Maybe the people who pay the piper should call the tune a little more. County council should have a bigger represent. tion on the board. Some coun- ties have equal representation on the board with the Child- ren's Aid. However, that is for this council to decide, "Cost of government is in- creasing so rapidly it seems somebody has to hold the line. Some of the money raised in the townships is money we are spending here, and we should be as careful as at home." ginning with the days of silent screen, up to the present day, You will best remember her as the wide-eyed, bungling 'Nu- gie' of the "Oh, Susannah" series of a few years ago. If the name doesn't ring a bell, she and the star of the show, Gale Storm, played the roles of two staff members on an ocean liner. Only last month, Miss Pitts made a welcome visit to the Canadian television show 'Flashback' and, even then, she brought sunshine into many homes for much too short a time. 0--0--0 If you're looking for some The difference between hoping ...and aving is a PERSONAL LO from CANADIAN IMPERIAL' BANK OF COMMERCE A new car for your family?

Mr. Scott has been dictating it on the dictaphone and it is be- ing transcribed. I think he has a bit of the town of Exeter to do, and some finishing off. Meantime, the typing of the second round, for the publisher, is under way. I believe some four or five hundred pages have been proof-read by Dr. Talman at the university, corrections made and returned to Prof. Scott, and now being retyped. The first chapter is done and the second under way, and we are beginning to make some pro- gress. I still do not think it will be finished this year, but by fall we should be in negotia- tion with some publisher." RENTALS UP Report of the property com- mittee by Reeve Ivan Haskins, Howick, contained a newsche- dule of rental charges for court- house space, graded from $1.50 per square foot in the basement to $2 on the main floor. The county library, Children's Aid, Health Unit and school inspec- tors will pay $8,197.50, effec- tive July 1, instead of $5,100. Council took no action on appointment of a construction engineer. Deputy Reeve Delbert Gei- ger of Hay enquired about the provincial park project for Hur- on, and Mr. Berry said, "Pro- gress is being made." new records to add to your col- lection, I can suggest a few good sounds. Most gorgeous is Johny Mathis' new one called "Every Step of the Way" that should definitely make it to thc top of the hit parade. Bobby Vinton also has a nice ballad called "Blue on Blue"; Steve Lawrence's latest is "Poor Lit- tle Rich Gi r1"; Tony Bennett has a winner with " The Good Life"; and Perry Como's new- est is a catchy little number called "I Love You and Don't You Forget It" and once you hear it, you're not likely to forget the title: Speaking of Perry, it may interest you to know that our old buddy has just completed another season on American television and next year, he will not be hack in a regular series. The 1.'asy-going Mr. C will be seen in only a few specials next year, in fact, so his popularity surely trust be waning, Wonder if he's ever thought of corning to Canada; most of us never did really tire of him. Huron Gas Wells Top Producers GODERICH--Production of two Huron County gas wells is exceeded only by Lambton County wells, among the 15 counties where gas wells are producing. This information, contained in the 1960 report of the Ontario Fuel & Energy Board, was presented to county council by Alex. A. Alexander in his report as county assessor. He added that the report for oil wells also shows production ex- ceeded by only three wells in Lambton. The gas wells referred to are in Stanley Township, east of Bayfield, There are five oil wells at Greenway, two on the Huron side. One from the Stan- ley wells is being pumped to Clinton RCAF station for heat- ing. Mr. Alexander expressed the opinion that provincial legisla- tion will be amended so that oil and gas wells will he assess- ed ssessed on production. "The fields we have are just at the top of the list in Ontario; he said. Operating at Full Capacity GODERICII--The board of Huronview, the county home, plans to encourage residents there to become a little more active and have some interest either in hobbies or other means of recreation. Reeve Clifford Dunbar of Grey, presenting the report to county council, said a young woman had taken a spe- cial course in physical therapy. There is not an empty bed in the bed -care section for fe- male residents, "and we hardly know what to do with appli- cants," Superintendent 1I. C. Johnston told council. There are 13)3 residents, 110 female. Since the first of the tear there have been 3.1 admissions, 21 deaths and six discharges, three of these to the Ontario hospital.

M r. Johnston remarked: "It may he a surprise to most people to hear of anything go- ing down." The reduction is due to the home operating at capacity. Nir.
