The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-01-30, Page 3IMPATIENCE BRINGS TROUBLE—The above photo shows what frequently happens when impatient motorists attempt to pass a snowplow on the RIGHT on a two-lane highway. All too often the motorist collides with the wing plow blade which protrudes from the side of the plow—for as much as eight feet—or else becomes stuck in the shoulder, if lucky enough to avoid toppling into the ditch. Ridiculous as it is, statistics carefully kept for many years by the Depart- ment of Highways, Ontario, establish that the reckless act being attempted in the photo is well up on the list of causes of winter road accidents. The photo, especially arranged to demonstrate how NOT to try to pass a plow on a two- lane highway, also has a heavy blanket of snow obscuring the driver's rear view as an appropriate added touch for this type of motorist. For such—the "PASS LEFT" sign—the FLASHNG BLUE LIGHT—the amber light to spotlight the rear bumper—the wing plow indicator lights—and a host of other warning features mean nothing.—D.P.H.O. Photo.

TIMID WOLF The aardwolf of South Afri- ca lives in an underground bur- row, is afraid to come out in the daytime, and lives upon in- sects and larvae. In fact, the aardwolf (or earth wolf) is not really a wolf at all, but a first cousin to the hyena.

On January 18th he celebrated his 60th birthday, which now places him in the category where he can be called 'elder- ly', I suppose you're thinking that if Cary Grant is 'elderly', that makes you 'ancient', and you're probably right! He could easily pass for half his age. He has been a star for almost forty years, and has made 61 movies his latest being "Charade" with Audrey Hepburn. He has starred opposite a multitude of gorge- ous women, some that have long since faded from the Holly- wood scene, and now he is moving up to today's young stars like Hepburn, Doris Day, etc. Most amazing part of this is that he is still playing romantic leads, and no one is complaining as they did when the late Gary Cooper co-starred with Miss Hepburn in "Love in the Afternoon". I wouldn't be surprised if Cary Grant is still playing handsome heart-throbs when he's eighty! Many in Hollywood think he is one of its finest actors; I definitely feel his talent is all in comedy. He has never won an Oscar but some think this may be his lucky year. He has no real se- cret for his eternal youth, but he says he has never smoked, doesn't drink, works hard, and tries to occupy his mind with only youthful things. On the personal side of his life, he is now a bachelor. He and his third wife Betsy Drake were divorced last year. Lately, he has been seen a lot with pert stage actress Dyan Cannon, who is 22, and other young starlets. Perhaps the company he keeps helps to keep him young! 0--0--0 Last week's 'Perry Mason' episode, "The Case of the Ca- pering Camera", was the one which featured the late Karyn Kupcinet, the 22 -year-old star- let who was found strangled in November. She played the role of Penny Ames, sister of model Judith Blair, who was charged with the murder of a photographer in the hour-long drama. It was the last role she fulfilled before her tragic death. 0--0--0 " Laughter U. S. A ." , Dr. Kildare's replacement last week, was a great hour of comedy. It was obvious that most of today's new crop of comedians could never begin to touch the comedy stars of pre- vious years. Some of the stars featured on this show are, of course, still entertaining us -- people like its host George Burns, Phil Silvers, Jack Benny, Bob Hope and Jimmy Durante. But no one today could equal the wonderful world of comedy presented by Charlie Chaplain, Ben Turpin and his pie -throw- ing pals, The Keystone Cops, W. C. Fieids, and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. They were tremendous entertainers and there is mach too little of this kind of comedy today. Now you have to he a satirist or an impressionist, a 'sick' comedi- an, in order to get a laugh. There are few slapstick comedi- ans omedians left today, and though Red Skelton is one of the hest in the business, he too, must rely too much on sarcasm to gain response. What did disappoint me in this show, though, was the fact that female laugh - getters were neglected. It should have been noted that all the laughs provided for Ameri- ca have not been by men; comediennes, too, have heard their share. There was Can- ada's Mary Pickford, gorgeous Carole Lombard, Mae West, and Gracie Fields, and today's list is also impressive, with the greatest following them in the Thursday 8 o'clock spot. Gracie Allen left her mark on Ameri- can comedy, but other gals did, too. More of these should have been mentioned. 0--0--0 "Flashback" 'flashed back' to the days of "Showtime" last 'Tis Show Biz By Vonni Lee week, and presented its star Shirley Harmer who talked about that happy time when it was one of the top variety shows on CBC. She looked charming in an ankle -length shift, and a new and different hairdo, and when she left host Bill Walker calmly stated, "Nice person!" I couldn't more heartily agree. Yours truly had a personal chat with her in 1962 when she visited Wingham, and her charm, honesty and beauty (then as a blonde, but I'm sure no different now) are completely overwhelming! Shirley suffered a neck injury in that automobile accident that was mentioned on "Flash- back". It occurred in the au- tumn of '62 when she was on tour in Western Canada, but the injury liaised up again last November and prevented her from performing at the Copa- cabana in New York. Quite naturally, she was very disap- pointed, but hopes to get a chance to play there again. This time we hope she makes it. Pop singers April Stevens and Nina Tempo (the brother - sister team of "Deep Purple" and "Whispering" fame) stepped in at the last minute to sub for her, 0--0--0 The jazz world lost one of its greats last week when trom- bonist Jack Teagarden was found dead in a motel room in New Jrleans. Death was ap- parently the result of a heart attack. The 58 -year-old mus- ician used to play with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra and later Louis Armstrong's combo. Great Dixieland records which bear his name are worth having in any collection of fine misic. Weekly Euchre BELGRAVE—The weekly euchre was held in the Com- munity Centre on Wednesday with seven tables in play. High lady was Mrs. Lewis Cook; high man, Mark Arm- strong; novelty lady, Mrs. Cora McGill; novelty man, RossMc- Ewan; low lady, Mrs. William Thuell; low man, Lewis Cook. LANCELET NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Murray and daughter Judith Anne, and Mrs. Arthur Hossfeld motored to London on Sunday and visit- ed with Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Giles. Mrs. James McCormick and daughter Betsy visited in Tor- onto last week. Mrs. Clifford Hallman en- tertained five of her neighbour ladies at a quilting on Thursday afternoon at her home. Miss Sandra Wright and Mr. Greg Buchanan of Toronto, and Miss June Wright of Kitchener spent the week -end at Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wright's. Card Party LAKELET—The regular bi- monthly card party was held on Wednesday night at the Insti- tute hall with six tables in play. Prize winners were euchre, high lady, Mrs. G. Wright; high gent, G. llubbard; low, Mrs. E. Greenley. Solo, high, Mrs. D. Werner; low, D. Werner; special prize, D. Den- nis. BIG DIFFERENCE There is a vast difference in the sizes of various kinds of moths. The tiny nepticulids, smallest of the moth family, has a wing span of about one-eighth of an inch, while the giant At- las moth exceeds 10 inches in expanse. Basic difference be- tween moths and butterflies is that most moths are nocturnal, while almost all butterflies do their flying in the daytime.
