Three Teen-age Girls Are Hurt Three teen-age girls were injured Saturday when the car in which they were riding went off a county road east of Dun- gannon. Diane Errington, 15, was reported in satisfactory condi- tion in Wingham and District Hospital with head and leg cuts. Helen Wardrop, 17, driver of the car, was taken to Vic- toria Hospital, London, with a broken nose and cuts, and Pat Eedy, 16 suffered a broken leg and face cuts. She was taken to Alexandra Marine and Gen- eral Hospital, Goderich. All three girls are from the Dungannon area. The car was demolished. Provincial police from the Goderich detachment investi- gated. Shellfish were the staple diet of Indians on the west coast of South America. Lucy will be back next year, M least, as of this moment, Lucille Ball has stuck with her decision to continue with her series "The Lucy Show" and keep the public rolling on the living -room carpet in laughter. But somehow, Lucy will not be the same, for long-time pal Vivian Vance is calling it quits and moving east. As long as there has been a Lucy, there has been an equally addle- brained sidekick to help carry out her schemes, to deliver the straight lines and to come across with her own share of hilarious punch lines. Vivian has been all of them. First it was Ethel Mertz, wife of land- lord Fred (William Frawley). They were the best friends of Lucy and husband, bandleader, Ricky Ricardo (real-life hubby Desi Arnez). Then the Arnez marriage came to a sad end, which meant also the end of Lucy and Ricky, Fred and Ethel, and the entire series. The pub- lic knew a good thing when they saw it, though, and beg- ged for the return of Lucy and her best friend, This time, in a series inspired by the "Life Without George" stories, Lucy played a young widow, and Vivian was introduced as a divorcee sharing Lucy's home. No one seemed to miss Ricky and Fred, and the seriesthriv- ed. On a number of occasions during the past year, Lucy be- gan showing up without Viv, and with special guests like Ann Sothern. The public be- gan to wonder if Vivian was perhaps becoming tired of everything and would leave. Well, she is leaving, but not because of boredom or any ill feeling between the two stars. She merely wants to be a housewife and since husband John Dodds' work keeps him in the east (Connecticut), she has found it a real rat -race trying to commute. She is not leav- ing show business but is anxious to try stage work and do panel shows in New York. How they will bid her fare- well on The Lucy Show, re- mains to be seen. Perhaps she will land another husband and disappear to Japan! There has been talk that Sothern will be her replacement; she would have to concentrate on being at her best at all times, if she ex- pects to walk in Viv's shoes. A number of guest stars, includ- ing Joan Blondell, have al- ready been signed for next sea- son. And then again, Lucy, being the greatest comedienne in North America, may be able to carry the show alone. 'doubt. it, though; I have a feeling we're going to miss Vivian -- a great deal. Summer began on a sad note for music -lovers who have By Yount Lee bought the records of Red Nic- hols and Claude Thornhill, who died recently. Thornhill's name wasreminiscent of the big -band era, Nichols was a marvellous dixieland trumpe- ter who organized 'The Five Pennies' dance band. A movie based on his life was produced in Hollywood a few years ago. Entitled "The Five Pennies", it starred Danny Kaye in Nichols' role, And last week, the pesky but lovable Lt. Tragg of the "Perry Mason" series, Ray Col- lins, passed away in Hollywood. Death came at the age of 75, after a long illness. His last 'Mason' episode was filmed about a year ago. 0--o--0 Also in Hollywood, singers Tommy Sands and Nancy Sin- atra were finding their home anything but harmonious and agreed that divorce was the on- ly answer. They were married in 1960 and have no children. He's the former rock -n -roll singer who is now doing well as an actor. She is Frankie's old- est child. 0--0--0 In Australia, actress -singer Jane Powell married her third husband, her publicity agent, Jim Fitzgerald. She's a tiny blonde petunia who made such a hit in fluffy musicals. She's not making movies now, but she could if they weren't so busy making heavy dramas and produced more than two or three musicals a year. She plays night-clubs, makes TV appearances, and performs in summer stock, so her talent is not going completely to waste. Last week, Dr. Ben Casey, or Vincent Edwards in real life, 'fessed up' and told the world that he and actress Kathy Kersh have been wed since the mid- dle of June. It is the first mar- riage for each; he is 36, she is a luscious -looking 22 -year-old blonde. I hope he has a sun- nier disposition when he's away from his scalpel, or she may be the one to land in a hospital. 0--0--0 Here in Canada, impres- sionist Rich Little, 26, an- nounced that he, will marry act- ress Jean Christopher, 24, when her divorce becomes final later this year. He is a native of Ot- tawa; she is a Torontonian now working in a Montreal -produc- ed motion picture. Operatic soprano, Teresa Stratas, fast becoming one of our biggest stars, was dodging newsmen who were trying to learn why her June -planned wedding to Montreal Symphony Orchestra conductor Zubin Meh- ta never came off. No reply, as she was off to Europe for a singing engagement. But her father answered, 'They're too busy'. Belmore Personal Notes Mrs. Mary Allan, Mrs. M.

De- rived from the English game known as "fives", handball be- came popular in Ireland and was brought to North America by Irish immigrants in the nine- teenth century. At that time, the game was played with a leather -covered ball resembling a small baseball and kicking was permitted. Phil Casey, an Irishman who migrated to Brooklyn, is regarded as the Father of Handball in America. G. A. WILLIAMS, 0.1 Optometrist 9 PATRICK STREET W.
