But Bill and Alice were short of money. Enter: Niagara, Bill saw the manager of the nearest Niagara office about a Home Redecorating Loan. The manager was very understanding. And helpful. In no time a loan and easy repayment terms were arranged. You can imagine how excited Alice was when Bill came home with the money to redecorate the house. When you need extra money for any good reason, you can expect the same courteous, quick service at any one of 300 Niagara offices.

On this half-hour show Lightfoot will be seen at Oril- lia, where he is visiting with his parents; at his home in mid- town Toronto; and talking about his folk music, the songs he writes arid songs he sings. In the past five years he has written 100 songs, some of which he has made famous, others that have been recorded and sung in coffee houses, uni- versities and concert halls all over America, by other folk ar- tists, Canadian and American. Only 28, he has come a long way in the past few years.Dur- ing his high school years he sang in a school group, then studied jazz music in Los Ange- les. From there, he came to the CBC where he spent three years as a singer, dancer, and drummer. (One of his regular series was "Country Hoedown: where he danced and sang with the 'Singin', Swingin' Eight'.) Following his stay at the CBC, he left for Europe, first to Scandinavia, then to England where he really 'caught on' and became host-singer on a top country-western music show on the BBC. It was there that he also began writing his own songs; probably the most famous here in Canada was "That's What You Get for Lavin' Me". It should be nice to see Gor- die back in Canada, and talk- ing of his past, present, and future on "Telescope". Why not watch it?

RAILROAD TO THE SUN Miami, the mecca of the sunbathers, was incorporated as a city in 1896. A short time before that it was nothing but a tiny hamlet consisting of two houses and a storehouse. During the 1920's, Miami experienced one of the wildest land booms in the history of North America, but a hurricane in 1026, coin- ciding with a money panic, left 'hundreds of real estate bro- kers holding the boom bag, Nevertheless, Miami continued to grow all through the depres- sion and now has a population of well over 300,000. What was it that originally got the tiny hamlet started on its way? The extension of the Florida East Coast Railroad from West Palm Beach, which enabled vaca- tioners from the south and mid- west to travel by rail to the area. NEW BREED OF CAT In 1965 at the Hanshin Park Zoo in Tokyo, ,Japan, three un- usual-looking animals were created from the breeding of beasts known to be natural enemies. These spotted speci- mens, called "leopons", were the off-spring of lioness mated to a leopard. Their parents he- came compatible when placed in a cage together as cubs.
