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,

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.

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.

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!"

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.

County History
Is Progressing
GODERICH--In reply to an
enquiry about the county his-
tory, clerk -treasurer Berry re-
ported: "It is pretty near corn-
plete for typing a first time.
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.

"It may he a surprise to most
people to hear of anything go-

due to the home operating at
