SHARON LEA had only heard mummy and daddy talk about Santa Claus and seen pictures of the jolly old gentle- man, but Saturday she got her first real glimpse of him. "There Claus" she whispered Is Grey Cup - Dead, Dying? By CARL MOLLINS TORONTO (CP)--The Grey Cup, said the cab-driver fourth in line at the Royal York Hotel, * is dying. "The Grey Cup is dead," cor- rected the cabbie who was fifth in line, with little prospect of business in the quiet at 2 a.m. Sunday. They were talking about the decline in sustained, free-wheel- ing fun that in years gone made * the East-West football final a big show in several days of _ woistering by visiting fans. if organization could make a . party, the Grey Cup festival for Saturday's game between Brit- ish Columbia Lions and Hamil- ton Tiger-Cats should have been @ smash. About 250 members of the Toronto Junior Board of Trade worked for a year on festival plans; held daily "'hoopla" pa- rades for a week preceding the game, doled out hamburgers from a mobile barbecue, hired bands, assigned greeters and staged public parties. AMONG BIGGEST The pre-game Grey Cup pa- trade was among the biggest in 17 years of such parades.

It was a big moment for a two-year- old girl. Oshawa Times Photos $1,300,000 Spent On Road Work COBOURG -- Engineer. John Moorehouse told members of the Council of the United Counties of Durham and Northumberland that' more than $1,300,000 had been spent.on road construction to Oct. 31 of which $935,466 was eligible for subsidy. He estimat- ed'the expenditures by the end of the year will be $1,478,141.

The remainder was spent on new machinery and overhead. suffering from over-exposure to football. Guesses on why the 1964 Grey Cup specifically was tame were summed up in the feeling that distance deterred many Vancou- ver fans from making the jour- ney to Toronto while Hamilton is too close 'to Toronto -- 40 miles away--to keep Tiger-Cat fans in town for the festivities. "Tf Calgary and Ottawa had made the Grey Cup it would have been a different story," said a taxi-driver' in a post- mortem on a quiet Grey Cup. town, The parade, which is billed as one of the biggest Santa Claus Parades in the nation, was led by one of the official cars bear- ing Mayor Ivan Hobbs of Bow- manville, Mayor Lyman Gifford of Oshawa and Fire Chief Ger- lad Vance. The other car carried Russell Honey, MP for Durham and Alex Carruthers, Member of the Provincial Parliament. Almost a half hour late in starting, it did not take long for the excitement to rise in the younger. set. Often 'questions of--When will he get here, and how much longer now, were directed at parents, who seemed to be en- joying themselves as much as the children. The first unit to follow the official cars, were the Junior Redcoats, mounted on_ their ponies, and dressed in full dress replicas of the RCMP uniforms. AN HOUR TO PASS The parade which took more than an hour to pass any spot, was climaxed by Saint Nick perched high on his sleigh above the crowd. The other big attraction of the parade was the Wooden Horse of Troy from Tyrone. The horse which is 18 feet high, was flanked by an armed escort of 30 Greek soldiers in full battle armour. Following the Junior Redcoats was the Toronto Optimist Drum Corps, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and a Majorette Group from Oshawa run by Sandra Gowland of Garden Hill. Then came the Blue Notes, a trumpet band from Pickering, the Courtice Circuit Double Clubs entry of the Northern Fantasy, Bullwinkle, Clown Bikes, Courtice High School's man and Wife portrayed by Col. and Lady K. Flint, and a Motor Buggy jand a T-Bird. Bowmanville's Legion Pipe Band added a Scottish flair to the parade as they marched past with the bagpipes skirling out the old Highland melodies. RED CROSS FLOAT The pipe band was followed by the Bowmanville Red Cross float Around the World. Don Wil- cox and Chuck Kilpatrick's Jazzy Jet came next and was followed by Dorothy Dickey's majorette group from Belleville. The Legion Drum Corps from Cobourg was next followed by the Toyland Express, Denny the Dino, The Beverly Hill-Billies, Brenda.

GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent AUCKLAND (CP) -- The top music teacher in New Zealand, coach of opera and concert stars, is a nun. This year her pupils have scored unprece- dented success on the circuit of major music competitions throughout Australia and New Zealand. Sister Mary Leo, who teaches singing at a small conservator- ium attached to a Roman Cath- olic convent here, has won @ remarkable reputation in dis- covering and developing women singers of outstanding merit. Her pupils have won almost every major singing award in Australia and New Zealand. This year they won nearly all the top awards in the same season, Opera and concert sing- ers and stars in musical shows acknowledge how much _ they owe to her guidance and many of them return to her periodic- ally for refresher courses. She is in such demand as @ voice teacher that pupils come from all parts of New Zealand, and they are of all denomina- tions. She teaches for 12 hours on many days, six days a week. but still regards her spiritual duties as the most important function of her day. On a recent visit to Australia she was inundated with re- quests for advice and assist- ance. Her success in imparting spe- cial qualities to her young pu- pils is so outstanding that it is often claimed she works to a secret formula. NO SECRET She has, indeed, a distinctive approach, but there is nothing secret about it. Sister Mary Leo agrees that her instruction is game was the most spectacular ever, with scores of majorettes, precision squads, fireworks, floats and singing. The game itself should have been a drawing card as a re- match between the two tough teams that met for the 1963 cup in Vancouver. But apart from a mob scene in downtown hotels Friday night and a tamer repeat ance for a couple of hours Sat- urday night, Grey Cup 1964 was) a weak version of past blowouts --from the beginning in 1948, when Calgarians turned Toronto on its ear, and in the 1950s, when thousands journeyed to the fun and game. Estimates of 'the number of visitors in Toronto for the Grey Cup vary widely, but there were probably no more than 1,500 from Vancouver, perhaps as many more from the four other Western Football Confer- ence cities. The crowd of 32,655 at the game itself, predominantly Hamilton fans, was subdued by rain, a chilly wind and the steady inevitability with which the Lions built their 34-24 vic- tory over the Tiger-Cats. FANS FLEE ne Hamilton fans, damp and de- flated, fled home after the game, leaving Saturday night celebrations to a crowd dom- inated by students and teen- agers. Western fans, recognized by their ribbons and hats, seemed few and far between. Many of the celebrants wearing black-and-orange Lions' colors upon investigation turned out to be Torontonians getting on the winning bandwagon.
