Doctor: "You shouldn't give your husband strong coffee. It excites him." Wife: "You should see how excited he gets when I give him weak coffee." • Of course our bank likes to say Yes. You see, we need the money. Some of the revenue we earn comes from loans we make to people. So it's to our advantage to give every request for money much more thought. A little more understanding, too. It could be money in The Bank, so to speak. Another consideration : If we approve your loan you'll probably feel more inclined to do all your banking with us. Then we can really show you how truly helpful our complete banking services can be! So do us both this one big favour. Next time, see us for your money. THE TORONTO-DOMINIOI1 Where people make the difference BANK J. B. RUNSTEDTLER, Manager A. E. GRAHAM, Manager Wingham Branch Gorrie Branch ..2515C Now and then, we ask'our- selves why the world's top en- tertainers don't show up each week on a television series. Is it because they don't want to be tied down with the daily grind of rehearsals, and are too fond of travelling to a different city or country each week? Or are they just not in demand for such a series? Though Sammy Davis, whom I think is the greatest of all, has no trouble holding an audience for an hour the majority of these perform- ers when confronted with a mic- rophone and asked to say some- thing, fall flat on their faces! Lena Horne was once second on my list of great female perform- ers; the only one that I thought could top her was Judy Garland. But the world has become so tired of Judy's problems, antics, tantrums, and even her talent, which she herself has treated with anything but respect, that her star has long since faded. Lena has held her publicity to a minimum, is still so gorgeous that she could pass for half her age, and is as exciting a per- former as she was when she first! became famous nearly thirty years ago. This places her at the top of the list of great fe- male entertainers. She starred in her own show on CBC's "Show of the Week" last Mon- day evening, in a production filmed in England. She had one guest, James Mason, who was on camera about three minutes, looking like a Beef- eater and trying to sing. There were no singers, no dancers, only her husband Lennie Hayton on the piano, and a handful of musicians to back her in most of her numbers. She entertain- ed regally, singing many of her old hits like "Love Me or Leave Me", "Stormy Weather", "It's All Right with Me", "I've Got the World on a String", and some new songs. It was obvi- ous that the old fire is still there, and she's as great as ever. But as soon as she began to talk, even when it was just introducing her numbers, she was as exciting as yesterday's mashed potatoes, seeming very tense and fluffing lines right and left. It didn't take long to realize why she has not been given a regular show of her : own. She belongs on a stage, but a night-club stage, and singing, not conversing. The English have a habit of taking America's cold fish (Joe Staf- ford was another.) and starring them on shows, which is pro- bably a good reason for so many travelling to Europe these days. The hour was well worth it though, just to watch this great pro show us the meaning of the word 'entertainment' ! 0--0--0 The end of the year has come and gone, and at this time, award -presentations are taking place in the world of show biz. In New York, news - UNITED. CHURCH CHOIR ANNUAL MEETING BLUEVALE-The annual meet- ing eeting of the Bluevale United Church choir was held after the regular practice on Thursday evening at the manse. Officers are: president, Mrs, George Hetherington; secretary -treas- urer, Ruth McLennan. Average attendance for the year was twelve and the treas- urer reported a balance of $32. A social time followed when lunch was served by the hostess, Mrs. G. Mitchell, assisted by the organist, Mrs. Carl Johh- ston. BLUEVALE. Reeve A. D. Smith and Mrs, Smith attended the annual Ladies' Night banquet of the Turnberry council and officials in Danny's restaurant on Sat- urday evening. Mr. arid Mrs. Bob Hall and family of Thorndale and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hall and David of Brussels visited with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hall on Sunday. paper film critics chose "My Fair Lady" as the best film of 1964, a choice that may easily be repeated for the Hollywood Oscars. Best actor was Rex Har- rison who played Professor Henry Higgins in the movie, but Aud- rey Hepburn, in the title role, was defeated by Kim Stanley who won the title of best act- ress for her role in a British Film, "Seance on a Wet After- noon". Best foreign film was "That Man from Rio" which starred Jean Paul Belrnondo. In Hollywood, the golden and sour apples were handed out, the gold ones to those stars who have been most co-operative to the Press in 1964, the sour ones to the blobs who turned their backs on reporters. Top golden apple winners were Donna Reed and our Canadian son, Lorne Greene of "Bonanza". Others who were honoured in this cate- gory were pert Connie Stevens and singer -actor Paul Petersen, who plays Donna Reed's son, Jeff, in her series. The sourest apple, as it is every year, was awarded to Doris Day, who has always tried her best to keep the spotlight away from her per- sonal life'. James Franciscus, TV's "Mr. Novak", was another sour -puss as far as the Women's Press Club was able to deter- mine. Also in Hollywood, the top ten box-office stars were an- nounced. This has nothing to do with acting talent; it's the drawing power at the box-office, the money they make for their studios that counts. Doris Day was No,.1 there, to be followed by Jack Lemmon, Rock Hudson, John Wayne, Cary Grant, Elvis Presley (who said he'd lost his appeal?), Shirley MacLaine, Ann -Margret (that's some ac- complishment for a young kid!). Paul Newman, and Richard Bur- ton, in that order. Mrs. Burton, otherwise known as Elizabeth Taylor, was forced off the list this year, but don't worry, her pictures still make a bundle 1 Debbie Reynolds was another left at home by the younger stars, but I don't imagine she cares. Her "Unsinkable Molly Brown" of the past year, is the best thing she's ever done and could even win her an °soar nomination, which would be something pew for her! 1964 COMET CALIENTE 2 -DOOR HARDTOP 1964 MERCURY MONTCLAIR 2 -DOOR HARDTOP, automatic, 390 motor, power brakes, power steering and radio, Demonstrator. 1964 METEOR 6 cylinder, standard, radio. 1963 FORD GALAXIE 4 -DOOR, 6, Automatic, Radio. 1963 PONTIAC STRATO CHIEF, 4 door, 6 cylinder, automatic, radio. 1963 CHEVROLET BEL AIR, 4 door, 6 cylinder, standard, radio. 1963 CHEVROLET STATION WAGON 4 -DOOR, 6 Stnd, 1962 FORD FAIRLANE 500 8 Stnd., Radio, 4 -Door. 1962 CHEVROLET IMPALA 2 -DOOR HARDTOP, Power equipped. 1961 METEOR Station Wagon 6 AUTO., radio. 1961 METEOR 4 -DOOR, 6 cylinder Stnd., radio. 1961 CHEV.
