Walt Disney has added his special touch of fantasy to 'Poppins'; and he chose two great stars, Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke to conduct our tour of the fabulous world of make-believe. The story takes place in London, England and opens with the Ranks family bidding farewell to another Nanny who has tired of trying to keep rhe two Banks children in tow. Of course, they must find another Nanny and the audience knows that this will he Mary Poppins, who comes riding in on the east wind. The picture follows the adventures of the children with Maly and her friend, Bert --through a colorful story -book forest, on an exciting Derby ride and fox - hunt, to a laughing tea-party on the ceiling (with the mar- vellous Ed Wynn), and in a rooftop singsong with Bert's friends, the chimney sweeps. All of this time, Mary is re- ceiving much opposition from the children's father, George Banks, who maintains that her frivolous escapades are harmful to them. But in the end Mary wins, even though, with the 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 HOLIDAY TOURS BY HANOVER TRAVEL SERVICE ESCORTED & INDEPENDENT Washington - Coloni Virginia 10 DAYS -- $197.00 DEPARTS MAY 29 RETURN JUNE 7 Calgary Stampede CANADIAN ROCKIES PACIFIC COAST JULY 3rd to 24th 21 days by deluxe motor coach COMPLETE — $235.00 • Canadian Rockies BY TRAIN and MOTORCOACEI Fully Escorted 16 Days DEPARTURES IN JUNE - JULY - AUGUST COMPLETE FROM — $397.00 Gaspe and Saguenay Cruises 11 Days Escorted JULY -AUGUST DEPARTURES COMPLETE FROM — $263.00 r Wonderland of Western Canada 16 Days by CPR "Canadian" BANFF - LAKE LOUISE - JASPER -- Weekly Departures COMPLETE FROM -- $379.00 r Maritimes Holiday By Train & Private Motorcoac'h Fully Escorted Departure June .

Julie Andrews is marvellous as the losable English nanny -- not :Academy Award material, but then she didn't win for her performance, As you watch the mos ie you begin to wonder what she did win it for, espe- cially when you see the fantas- tic performance of her co-star, Dick Van Dyke as Bert, who wasn't even nominated for his work. His talent and vitality are amazing; late in the pic- ture he also turns up, disguised as Bank president, Mr. Dawes, David Tomlinson as the typi- cally -English Mr, Banks, who finds there is more to life than running everything on schedule, being wealthy, and having in- fluential friends, is perfect and a fine comedian when hu- mor is needed. Pretty Glynis Johns plays his wife Winnifred. Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber as the Banks children, Jane and Michael, have no trouble capturing Mary Poppins heart, nor those in their audi- ence. The beautiful music was written by Richard and Robert Sherman; it includes the Aca- demy Award winner "Chim Chim Cher-ee", with the afore- mentioned 'Super --etc.', and many songs that have not been heard before but should be, often. Director was Robert Ste- venson; helping with choreo- graphy was Dee Dee Wood, who has guested on Canadian tele- vision a number of times, The number by the chimney sweeps, with the two stars, the children and the sweeps frolicking about high on the. roofs above London, was tremendous, But most ea - chanting of all, were the scenery, the special effects, and everything that added the special Disney touch. The for- est scene with the animals will thrill every kid from five to ninety-five, "Mary Poppins" received five Academy Awards, two for the Shermans for best song and best original music score, and for best actress (Julie), editing, and not surprisingly, visual effects. It will soon be making its first appearance in this area. By all means, pack the kids in the car and go and see it; it will be a rare treat for them and for you, too! 0--0--0 More prestige has come to Canadian television, thanks again to Johny Wayne and Frank Shuster. Their December 28th production from French -English TV, which starred the comics with singer Patti Lewis, dancers Don Gillies and Carlu Carter from Toronto, comedian Paul Berval, poet -composer Gilles Vigneault, and four French revue artists from Quebec, was entered in the 'Golden Rose' International Festival of TV variety programs held at Mont- reaux, Switzerland, from April 29th to May 8th. The final awards were presented May 7th and the ceremonies were tele- cast by Eurovision. The Wayne and Shuster Show won second prize. HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING COURSE The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests is giving ad- mirable leadership in the con- servation of game and wood- lands, and the promotion of better hunting through compul- sory Hunter Safety Training, The Ontario Safety League urges all hunters to support these intelligent programs by knowing and observing the game laws of the province. Inexperienced hunters with- out a previous license must take the Hunter Safety Training Course in order to obtain a hunting license. Information ori this valuable means of pro- moting better and safer hunting can be obtained from local game wardens or rod and gun clubs, RECREATION) TOPICS by IVAN KERSELL, Wingham Recreation Director Last Monday evening there was a meeting of the Commu- nity Centre Board at the Wing - ham arena. All members of the board were present, Ilarold Wild chairing rhe meeting which was called at the request of the recreation director to discuss plans for the roller skating program. Mr. KerseIl told the hoard that the skates had been ordered from the Bauer Skate Company in Kitch- ener at a cost of $1,005.00. It is hoped that the roller skating program will get under way by the first of June. Mr. Kersell explained that there would be a slight delay in the shipping of the skates because t h e type of wheel he wanted was not in stock, The price of admission was discussed and it was agreed that general admission for roll- er skating would be 35 cents and the rental of the boot - skates would be 25 cents. The director suggested that there should be skating three evenings a week, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The board also discussed the possibility of holding free family skating Sunday after- noon as they did with ice skat- ing during the winter. 0--0--0 The first softball workout of the season was held last Satur- day at the ball park. The boys worked out in the morning from 9 to 12 and the girls prac- tised in the afternoon from 2 to 4. There were some very promising players among the boys. There were about 38 boys in the Squirt age group (boys 10 years of age and ud- der) and about 20 in the com- bined Pee Wee and Bantam age groupings. Ken Hodgkin- son and Ron Deyell worked with the Squirts, while Lorne Gardner and Bill Ken coached the Pee Wees. Saturday afternoon the girls' teams held a practice under the direction of Michael Willie and Ken Gerson, There were 11 girls out in the Juvenile di- vision. This really isn't quite enough to form a team fit either division so we would like to sec more girls come out to the practice next Saturday afternoon. Girls' teams are en- tered in both the juvenile and junior divisions of the W.O. A. A. and it would he a shame to have to withdraw then. This Saturday, May 22nd, there will be ball practices -- the boys working out in the morning and the girls practis- ing in the afternoon. This Sat- urday teams will be made up and practice will be started in earnest. Let's have everybody out. SUNDAY'S STORM WHITECHURCH-Sunday's storm, with strong wind and heavy rain, varied in this dist- rict. There were large hail- stones at Russel Gaunt's and hydro in that locality was dis- rupted until 6:30 p.m. There was no hail in the village. THE INDIVIDUAL WINNERS during the regular season play of the Wednesday Night Mixed League were: Dorothy Turner, high average for the women; Anne Uphoff, high single; Ken Saxton, high average; Marion Macintyre, ladies' high triple; Bill Maclntyre, men's high single; knob Angus with the men's high triple, FIREWORKS .. Have Fun, but Keep It Safe! Monday is Victoria Day and again the public is warned of the hazards in regard to fire- works. The town by-law restricts the sale of fireworks to persons over 21, so parents and adults must take the responsibility of home displays. There are a few safe handling rules that should be followed, The cause of most eye in- jury and burn accidents to chil- dren from fireworks occur from those considered 'dead'. If a firework fails to explode satu- rate It with water before touch- ing it. Treat all fireworks as being potentially dangerous. Even the favourite sparkler which burns at an approximate temp- erature of 1650 deg. F can re- main sufficiently hot to cause fire when carelessly discarded. When operating a backyard family display always be sure the following procedures are observed: - Keep children back from firing line. Very young child- ren should never participate in firing. Always read the printed in- structions on fireworks before setting them off. Make sure the firing loca- tion is clear of overhead ob- structions, wires, trees, roof tops. With the exception of spark- lers, never hold any firework in the hand when lit, Use containers of sand to act as a firing base. Always embed the fireworks in the sand, light and stand well back immediately, Keep a metal container han- dy, such as an empty garbage can to use for discarding used fireworks. Sprinkle contents with water when display is fin- ished, Secretary at the office water cooler: "She's just been giving me a beau -by -beau account of her vacation," • You are looking at one of the most amazing success stories in modern automotive history. It's called the Fina Executive tire. And in less than 28 days after Canada learned about its unique features, demand has already outstripped production. So if your Fina dealer is temporarily out of stock, please be patient. It won't be for long. And the Fina Executive is worth waiting for. The Fina Executive tire is something of a phenomenon. Some tires (in fact, most of them) take months or even years to become estab- lished. The Fina Executive has done it in less than 28 days. Some areas have even run short after two weeks. This is because, despite the fact that the Fina Executive is one of the most unusual tires you can buy, no one could ever have anticipated a reception like this. It's easy, though, to see why so many people want the Fina Executive. And why it's worth waiting for. Reversible Whitewalls First, the Fina Executive is the only tire with separate whitewall styles on each side. This means you can change from a single whitewall band to a double ring --- just by reversing the tire. Carefully built by hand The Fina Executive is carefully built by hand. This is one reason we can't speed up production too much, Tires like the Fina Executive have to be built carefully. And that takes time. More Robber and Deeper Tread The Fina Executive has more rubber and a deeper tread than any other tire in its price class. This means more mileage, while the new low profile also increases tire life by cutting down on heat build-up. Please be patient If your dealer happens to be out of the size you need, please be patient. Produc- tion lines are rolling 24 hours a day, and you won't have to wait very long. Besides, a hand -built premium tire like the Fina Executive is worth waiting for, The Fina Executive carefully built... by hand •
