The Wingham Advance-Times, 1963-11-14, Page 5IN THE LII3RARY By DORIS G Mc'KII3BON Two decades or so ago there was, upon the market, a flood of monumental novels and tri- logies, Today that trend is not so pronounced. However, in P forties, C. S. Lewis produc- WI a trilogy which has recently (40 DEDICATE GIIDEOH BIBLES AS A ONTtNUING MEMORIA may be fionat:•il through your • local funeral director Yl• SRV IN MVI l>, 1014,••0 HOSPITALS, PRISONS WHEN YOU DEAL.

The second PI?RELANDRA is here the subject of consider- ation. This is science fiction with a moral implication. Although I recommend all three of these books to be read in the proper sequence, if time is precious (as indeed it is) any one of the volumes will provide much en- joyment and meat for thought. Ransom, an English philolo- gist, this time has been trans- ported to Venus, a delightful planet, according to Lewis, of much vegetation, warmth, sweetness, limpid light and great bodies of water. In a set- ting reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, again we have repro- duced the story of the Tempta- tion, but with a difference, Here Ransom is the protagonist of Good, and is also aware of the tremendous responsibility vested in him. Why he has been chosen puzzles him; at times, he even resents the bur- den laid upon his shoulders. There is occasionally vouch- safed to many people a flash of insight whereby they glimpse something of a great pattern in a course of study, an experi- ment in science, a problem of mathematics, a way of life. Disciplined and thinking per- sons search hungrily for these revelations. To some they come without searching, a pearl of great price. To all thus favoured it is an experien- W. R.

DIAL 357-1361 FOR APPOINTMENT A PARIS TRIP WAS DECLINED in favor of a college education by Echo Karen Kadwell, 17, of Guelph, the first Canadian to win the Teen Division of the annual Singer Young Stylemaker Contest. Shown on the right, this Canadian sewing ace wears the brown tweed en- semble which won her $600 in New York recently, along with a one-week trip to Paris or its $1,800 cash equivalent. With her are two Canadians who achieved runner-up status in the contest. They are, on the left, Raymonde Vendetti, 18, of Montreal, and Marie Bourgeois, 13, of lberville, Quebec. They won re- spectively $800 and $400. Annual Tea Successful The Wingham Kinette Club last Wednesday afternoon stag- ed another successful tea and bake sale in the council cham- bers of the town hall. The tea table was beautifully arranged with bronze and yellow mums and tall yellow tapers, An at- tractive array of home baking was quickly disposed of as was the homemade candy. Another popular corner was the touch - and -take table where surprise packages sold for 25¢ each. The display of beautiful doll clothes was a highlight which attracted many Christmas shop- pers. Hand knit artieles and home sewn outfits for every doll from the tiny Barbie doll to the Chatty Kathy and lifelike baby dolls were on display represent- ing many hours of work by the sixteen members of the club and other enthusiastic helpers. At the close of the afternoon Miss Yvonne McPherson drew the winning ticket for the set of McBrine luggage, which was on display. Mrs. Helen Casemore was the holder of the lucky number. The Kinettes are grateful to the ladies who attended and to those who helped in other ways ce that never fades into noth- ingness, but remains at least sub -consciously. I found it one in a study of the History of Eng- lish Literature; I have seen a high school student discover it in both mathematics and sci- ence. Lewis, in this book, has linked up excitingly ancient mythology and popular science - and then he has gone beyond along the same chain into the realm of spiritual imagination. This book progresses slowly at first, but the conclusion is positively, packed with beauty, rhythm, and breath -taking in- ducements to thought and ac- tion. This is the Space Age. Let us fling wide the windows on the vista here presented. Miss D. Fells Is Honored Miss Doris Fells was guest of honor last Wednesday afternoon when officials and co-workers gathered in the board room at Head Office of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Toronto, for a farewell tea.

Wingham Advance -Tinges, Thursday, Nov, 14, 1963 -- Page a features from The World of Women 'Tis Show Biz Review week Oct. 30 to Nov. 6 Walt Disney will go down in history as the greatest showman and one of the greatest guys the world has ever seen, but he surely must have flunked Geog- raphy when he was in school, for probably the only place in the world that he could find without becoming lost, is 'Dis- neyland'. His life story was featured in 'Walt's World', two recent presentations on "Tele- scope", and only in the last half of his story did he tell host Fletcher Markle and the world that his father was born in Wes- tern Ontario, near the village of Bluevale, which is, accord- ing to Walt, 'just out of Gode- rich' 1 ! Now, I am no genius, but I say if Bluevale is just out of Goderich, then I'm begin- ning to look like Liz Taylor! He went on to relate a funny story about the time he and his wife visited Ontario, and he spent rolls of film on pictures of the old homestead, only to discover it was not 'the old homestead' at all. Well, if he was photographing a house 'just out of Goderich', I don't won- der that he got the wrong place! Obviously, the joker who gave him directions was some kind of a wise guyl Anyway, the fact that he has trouble finding Bluevale makes him no less the great showman. His 'Disney- land' is one of the great won- ders that people all over the world come to the U.S. to see, and his television and movie productions provide the finest entertainment in the world for children and adults alike. Speaking of the latter, his lat- est, " The Incredible Journey" will certainly be worth seeing. It is taken from Sheila Burn - ford's novel about the heart- warming adventures of three lovable animals, two dogs and a Siamese cat. It features Canadian talent, and was pre- miered on the 4th of this month in the authoress' hometown, Port Arthur, Ontario. 0--0--0 Before his notorious activi- ties both off -screen and on, during filming of the huge epic, "Cleopatra", in which he star- red with a talented actress, Richard Burton was known pri- marily as a Shakespearean act- or. His name meant little or nothing on a theatre marquee, and most of his films were los- ers for he was considered a theatrical performer and not meant for modern-day screen entertainment. Fie made an appearance on Ed Sullivan's hour last week in a reading from the works of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, which was filmed in London, England, earlier this year. These few minutes only proved how very right the ideas of a few years ago, really were. His voice By Vonni Lee and style so lend themselves to the theatre that he seems com,- pletely out of place in anything but the classics of the poet and playwright. Time, and pub- licity, has changed his movie roles. He can, apparently, play any kind of role now and can ask ridiculous sums for do- ing so, too. His name lights mean huge box office business all over the world. But the world of the theatre hasn't lost him completely. Following completion of his role in "Night of the Iguana" which is now shooting in Mexico, he moves to the U.S. where, on March 2nd, he will begin a tour of the U.S. in a production of "Ham- let" . The show will be produc- ed by Broadway's Alexander Cohen and directed by Sir John Gielgud. It will last for 20 weeks, 12 of them spent on Broadway, and is a part of the 1964 celebrations commemorat- ing the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth. 0--0--0 This coming Sunday evening, November 17th, will feature a special CBC -show called "A Show From Two Cities". It will be seen at 9, in the usual 'Bonanza' hour, and will pre- sent singing, dancing, and comedy. It is produced by Don Hudson, well known for his brilliant Wayne and Shuster productions, and it is just what the title implies - a show from two cities, namely Toronto and Montreal. The Toronto portion will feature Shirley Harmer, Bill Cole, Barbara Hamilton, Doug Romaine, and Don Giilie% Montreal stars will be Lise La- Salle, Claire Gagnier, Richard Verreau, and Pierre Theriault.

Newman were in Hamiitonon Monday of this week while on business for the local corps of the Salvation Army. -Miss Diane Deyeli is a pa- tient in Wingham hospital where she had her appendix re- moved on Tuesday morning. --Mrs. Cecil Merkley is progressing favorably in Wing - ham and District Hospital where she has been a patient since last Friday.
