The entire idea for this series was conceiv- ed by Hudson and he was work- ing diligently to make his ef- forts into something of which all of Canada could be proud. Then suddenly, in a plane crash, he lost his life and the future of Canadian television, variety was struck a cruel blow. The second "Show From Two Cities" was as different from Hudson's firsr production as day is from night; it was obvious that the same genius was not behind the reins. The produc- tion starred Richard Verreau, Elaine Bedard, Corinee Conley, Paul Dupuis, and Joyce Sulli- van, among others, and was set in different locations in Toron- to and Montreal. But it was Christmas night, everyone was filled with the Christmas spirit, and would have appreciated some lovely Christmas music to add to the occasion. The pro- ducer must have forgotten about this for, with the exception of two sappy Santas, it could easily have been a summer show. The medley of English My Fair Lady' hits, and French 'Irma La Douce' music was en- tertaining and cute, with beau- tiful melodies, but when you thought of it being Christmas, it seemed out -of -place and not nearly so appealing. 0--0--b It was interesting to see Hank Williams Jr. on Ed Sul- livan's hour-long New Year's Show last week. He is only fourteen years old, but the simi- larity imilarity of his voice to that of his late father is great indeed. If anything, he has a better voice than did Hank Sr. His father, the great country -western sing- er and composer, died of a heart attack while on his way to a singing engagement about twelve years ago. He was only in his early thirties. His songs have been played throughout all these years and will con- tinue to be played, not only in the country-and-western field, but also on the pop standard charts. Young Hank sang a medley of his father's compo- sitions for Ed's audience; it in- cluded the great western hit "Your Cheating Heart", and the lovely ballad which Tony Ben- nett made a hit, "Cold Cold Heart". He has already signed a recording contract with MGM records, so before long, he will likely be making second hits of his father's songs or creating plenty of his own. 0--0--0 The 18 -year-old stepson of actor Robert Taylor is under ar- rest in Munich, Germany, on suspicion of attempted murder.

Michael used to live with his mother and stepfather in Hollywood, but went to live with his father in Germany in 1961. In case this story means nothing to you, you may re- member Robert Taylor as being the star of his own television series "The Detectives" on last season's programming list. He was 'Matt Holbrook' of the Po- lice Department; his wife Ur- sula played Lisa, a newspaper reporter. 0--0--0 Anyone interested in know- ing what the top songs were in 1963? There were some real gems, believe me, and some equally kooky names belonged to the performers who sang (??) them. For instance, January saw The Exciters near the top with "Tell Him". Bobby Vee had "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes", and The Rooftop Singers sang "Walk Right In". Con- tinuing throughout the year, there was a slushy romantic ballad called "Hey Paula"; and a ghastly sounding thing called "Walk Like a Man" in February. Peggy March, The Cascades, and Peter, Paul and Mary held down the fort in March, with "I Will Follow Him", "Rhythm of the Rain", and "Puff", res- pectively. The Beach Boys in- troduced surfing music in April, with "Surfin' U.S.A.". In May, some new performers, young Leslie Gore, and Ruby and The Romantics came through with "It's My Party" and "Our Day Will Come" and an oldtimer, Nat Cole had "Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer" which could win the prize for the longest title of the year. The middle of the year presented us with some great titles, among which were "Tom Cat", "Da Doo Ron Ron" (Don't ask me what THAT means?), "Sukiyaki", and "Judy's Turn to Cry" . Near the end of the year, hits in- cluded "My Boyfriend's Back", "Sugar Shack", "She's A Fool", "Papa Joe's", and a tender thing called "Sally, Go 'Round the Roses". Top money makers of the year were probably Rick Nelson, Bobby Darin, and Elvis, with three hits each. And there were some beautiful ballads that made the hit parade this year, too. Steve Lawrence led the list with "Go Away, Little Girl", and ditties like "My Colouring Book", "I Love You Buried taxing Day Brother Was RC President Roy E. Davey, brother of Mrs. John Ostrom of Wingham, died of a heart attack on Mon- day, December 23, and fun- eral service was held on Boxing Day in Toronto, with inter- ment in Park Lawn Cemetery. Mr. Davey was 51. He was president of the Red Cross So- ciety in 1951 and was, Toronto sales representative for the Globe Envelope Co. for almost 30 years. Active with the Red Cross since 1956, he was named hon- orary member of the national society in 1961, and from that time till his death served as honorary comptroller. He play- ed an important part in the work of the Etobicoke branch of the Red Cross during Hurricane Hazel relief work in 1957. Mr. Davey established a day centre in Etobicoke which is still one of the best in Ontario. This was perhaps, one of his greatest contributions to the society. He is survived by his wife, the former Muriel Garrett and two children, Wendy Lynn and Glenn Allan. There are two sisters besides Mrs. Ostrom, Mrs. Rose Perigoe and Mrs. A. G. Clarke. Harry Swan Is New Trustee WHITECHURCH--The annual ratepayers' meeting of S.S. No, 10 (Whitechurch School) was held in the school Tuesday af- ternoon. The retiring trustee was Russel Ross, who had given 15 years of service. Harry Swan was elected as the new trustee. The other members of the board are Clar- ence Ritchie and Hugh Simpson, with Millan Moore as secretary - treasurer. Because", "Losing You", "Out of My Mind", "That Sunday, That Summer", and "Blue Vel- vet" followed the same course. The country-and-western field provided some dandies — "From a Jack to a King", "Still", and "Abilene". 0--0--0 Things are looking up, too, at the beginning of '64, with records like "Washington Square", "It's All in The Game; "24 Hours From Tulsa", "Dom- inique", and "There, I've Said It Again" still getting a lot of play. My prediction for the re- mainder of the year? — Britain's Beatles will be the big stars af- ter many North American ap- pearances and every record they wax will be a giant hit.
