PAUL HAHN LINES THEM UP Trick Golf Artist To Visit Whitby Club By GERRRY BLAIR Golf's most exciting personal- ity, Paul Hahn, considered by all the experts as the world's greatest combination of golfer, trick shot artist, comedian and instructor will present his full then it is a must point |those days, Southw. Sails ' tricks from the bar et 90 pounds, you'll see a shotmaker hitting with the accuracy of a Ben Hogan. But where the stars of golf hit their precision like shots with scientifically - en- gineered clubs, Hahn will be placing the ball 240 yards down the fairway with a collection of zany clubs that look funny -- and are! ---- SHAFTS is clubs have rubber shafts Pia of garden hose; they're swivel jointed; they weigh 10 pounds, have shafts six feet long as compared to the aver- age driver of 42 inches. Where the stars measure their stances so that they hit the ball with their feet placed the same way on every shot, you'll. see Hahn hitting off tees a yard high on one shot, kneeling to hit the ball on another, bal- ancing on one foot to hit a third, standing with one foot on a fold- ing chair for another, and hit- ting three balls, one after an- other, as they swing before him. No matter how, and from where, he hits the ball, you'll see a shot travelling 230 to 250 yards straight down the fair- way. As he hits the ball, even in his famous double action series of hitting a dozen balls in suc- cession with a club in each hand, you'll also hear a come. dian 'cast in the mold of Bob Hope. Hahn is a funny fellow, and he's one chap whose talking doesn't bother his shotmaking- That double action series of shots is something to watch. Twelve balls are teed up in a Time. He holds a club in each hand. Then swinging alternately forehand and backhand, Hahn hits 12 straight one-handed shots in succession. Each travels per- fectly down the fairway. It is something to awe the average golfer who has trouble enough hitting one ball with two hands .|on the club. FIRST TOUR cess ever since. He toured the world five times to travel 500, 000 miles with his big bag of tricks. He gave exhibitions in 37 coun- tries including England, Scot- |land, Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Egypt, Iraq, Arabia, Cey- lon, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, Formosa, Guam, An Oshawa man was fined $300 and costs by Magistrate Crawford Guest in Whitby police court on Tuesday when he was convicted of failing to remain at the scene of an acci- dent. His Worship told John Angus Wilson, of 395 Oshawa boulevard south that his act in leaving the scene of an acci- dent near Port Penry showed a callous disregard for the rights of others. A Port Perry district resi- dent told the court that his car had been parked on the boule- vard in front of his home and about 2.45 a.m. July 5 it had been struck in the rear by an- other vehicle. He said that the impact drove his vehicle up against a hydro pole. He said that when he got outside no one was in sight. PC Al. Breward, . of Whitby Detachment of the OPP, said that -his car had been damaged beyond repair. He said that the hydro pole, valued at $200 had also been broken off in the crash. PC Breward said that Wilson gave -police a statement in which he admitted driving the car but had left the scene the Left Accident, Driver Fined when he found blood streaming down his face. He said that! i 9 gg re - SSOP ee Wilson's car had suffered $400 damage. SAW ANIMAL Wilson told the court that he had been returning from his cottage on Lake Scugog that monning and as he neared the accident scene, an animal, probably a skunk or a cat, sud- denly darted out from the shoul- der. Wilson told the court that after the impact he discovered bleed running down his face and decided to get to Oshawa for assistance. On the same morning, he said, he notified his insurance company of the accident and on the following day called the Whitby Detach- ment of the OPP. Ken Farrow, Wilson's brother. inlaw, said that Wilson had left the scene to get home for aid to his face which had been injured in the crash. After His Worship learned that neither man checked the parked car to ascertain wheth- er or not anyone was in the vehicle, he termed the act of leaving a callous disregard for the rights of others and levied the fine. Wilson was given two weeks in which to pay the fine. WHITBY PERSONALS A birthday party was held on Sunday in honor of Mrs. John Duffhues.on the 'occasion of her birthday.

(AP)--Senate leaders plan to point an uncer- tain weapon--limitation of de- bate--at a small squad of fili- busterers trying to talk to death the administration's communi- cations satellite bill. Senator George Smathers, as- sistant Democratic floor leader from Florida, said a closure petition--to cut off debate-- would be filed today. This would force a showdown on the motion to bring the bill formally before the Senate. However, it's been 35 years since the Senate last agreed to limit debate and thus force a vote on a measure. Senator Albert Gore (Dem. Tenn.), one of the Democratic liberals trying to kill the satel- lite bill which would create a private corporation to own and operate the space network, told reporters he was confident the closure move would be beaten. It requires the votes of two- thirds of the senators present. The filibuster group brushed aside a warning Monday that they may be endangering the November election chances of their Democratic colleagues and pressed on with their speeches. SPEAKS FIVE HOURS Gore held the floor five hours up to recess time Monday night after a session running 11 hours and 42 minutes. Senator Maurine. Neuberger \(Dem. Ore.) spoke for 4% hours, slipping out of her high heeled shoes and standing in her stocking feet: in the final minutes. She charged that under the bill billions of tax dollars spent in research and development would be turned over to a "'pri- vate monopoly" dominated by American Telephone and Tele- graph Company. The filibuster- ing group wants the satellite corporation to be government- owned. The bill would establish a cor- poration owned half and half by communications companies and the public through stock pur- chases. Standing STRATFORD, Ont. (CP) -- A frenzied standing ovation greeted the premiere perform- ance Monday night of the Strat- ford Festival production of Ed- mond Rostand's Cyrano de Ber- gerac. The critics were nearly unan- imous in their praise of the treatment of the 19th - century romance by producer Michael! Langham and in the perform- ance of Christopher Plummer in the title role. The comment of Frank Gill, drama critic for Detroit radio station WDTM-FM, was. typical. To him the performance "ranks with the best and outranks the rest." "Plummer made Cyrano 'live --vitally, wittily and wisely. Michael. Langham has taken a difficult classic and injected new life into it. Stratford has a 'Cyrano' to remember." The premiere was the fifth and last of the Stratford sea- son. Shakespeare's Macbeth, The Tempest, and Taming of The Shrew and Gilbert and Sul- livan's The Gondoliers all op- ened several weeks ago. OPENING UNEQUALLED Laretta Thistle of the Ottawa Citizen said the "'tumultuous op- ening" has been unequalled in the festival's 10-year history. "Clapping was obviously in- adequate, and most throats were still too choked up to al- low anything as articulate as a 'bravo.' " Said Ronald Evans of the Tor- onto Telegram: "It is simply, purely and exultantly magnifi- cent." The least enthusiastic of the reviewers was Jacob Siskind of the Montreal Star, who declared the production was "'not an un- qualified success." "It is difficult to decide how much of the failure was the re- sult of opening-night nerves and how much the inherent lack in the production, But to me there seemed little of the wonder and enchantment that I had looked forward to so eagerly. Ovation For The Bergerac "Plummer plays at being cy. rano in a thousand wi ways ... but he never s! playing long enough to be rano.' SURPASSES ALL On the other hand, Demers of Ottawa Le wrote: "No Stratford tion has matched this in a respect." Other reviews: J .Burke Martin, London Free Press: '""If Michael Langham had given us nothing but this production at Stratford he would be remembered with affection." Herbert Whittaker, Toronto Globe and Mail: "Michael Langham's richly-bestowed -per- formance finds its proper focus of glory in the performance of Christopher Plummer." Bill Boss, Ottawa Journal: "The finest and greatest i Stratford's glittering 10 - year string | of fine and great produc tions." Kemp Thompson, Kitchener- Waterloo Record -- "One of Stratford's most exciting and memorable successes. . . ." Robert Tanner, Belleville In- telligencer -- "in a frenzied standing ovation the audience made it clear their applause was intended principally for Plummer . . . Michael Lang- ham in this production has ex- celled himself. One of the fin- est productions Stratford has ever staged." ---- Family Monuments OF AGES/ Created To Individual Requirements STAFFORD BROS, LTD.

In June, he said, the couple had moved out of the house and the owner of the house found some of the furnishings missing. A search was made of the couple's home in Scarborough, he said, and found there were a floor polisher, carpet sweep- er, a tray, a lamp, two bed- spreads, three sets of drapes and a chest of drawers, to the total value of $158. Still missing from the Pick- ering house, he said, and not recovered are $42 worth of goods, including drapes, pillow shower curtain and an ironing board.
