Not even though pirate groups singing under the magic name crowd the American con- tinent -- one of them is in Toronto now. For these are the Ink Spots. But there moment is forever. It may not earn them such fat pay cheques these days but the quality is still there; that feel- ing for the real thing.

Or the drummer in Hamilton 23 years ago, and now a taxi firm owner, who left his night's work to talk and talk of the old times.

Now it's the turn of Johnny Mathis to turn on the girls with Misty. "We sing on a college campus and the kids stop and listen and they hear a message. Not like the rock and roll songs. They hear and they under- stand," says Adriel. "This is the great problem -- exposure," says soft-spoken Abel De Costa, the only other Ink Spot available for their meet-the-media session. "Once they've heard they're converted." ADRIEL WANDERS And that's the way the Ink Spots' legend keeps rolling along. Only they don't get the air time they used to but you can get all their old, original songs on stereo LPs. Adriel wandered back through the years, as though he were giving a run-down of last night's performance. And it all sounded just a romantic fairytale, one of those thing: that just doesn't grow these days. And therein lies one of the qualities that make the us the '40's and Adriel is here for|cost but hire 'em." a week's stint at the Carousel Inn, Ajax, for $2,000. But he's still the same. Only the world Then came the search for a Aces but didn't like it. working with an old post office pen trying to figure out a name for the group. Suddenly the scratchy old nib caught on the paper and made a spot on the paper and that was it. The Ink Spots got their name. Walter Winchell got hold of their first recording and If I didn't Care, supposed to be second-best side of the disc, sold a million and is still, one of the biggest selling records in North America. Altogether the outfit chalked up 10 million sellers. : The original group even made two movies. One had the un- likely title of Pardon My Sarong and the other was The Big Broadcast of 1936 with Alice Fay and other big names. Even in these psychedelic days the boys don't feel left out, in fact they admire the Beatles for their message and even Elvis Presley. With one of the original group dead and Bill Kenny now living in Vancouver the group is somewhat depleted and they were depleted even further this week. Bob Williams had to fly back to New York where there had been a death in the family and the group was expecting a anni MEMBERSHIP TOTALS 125 Nn HHH some of the partitions were erected and new equipment arrived. The ORC's operation, mean- while, is spread across the city to neighborhood clubs and city schools catering to age groups from Teen to Senior Citizens.

They were just playing around and somebody heard them. i They kicked off as Three Kings and the Jester. "At that time if you were Negro even if you had a voice like John MacCormack you sang rhythm and blues. "You'd never dream of do- ing anything else if you were a colored act."
