Suspense aad drama came la the form of shows stili widely rem.embered by au- diences of ail ages, mainly because they also gained fame through television and the comic books, Superman, the Lone Ranger and the Green Hornet origiaally made their debut on radio. Vour Hit Parade Not, long after Winstoa Churchill described Britain's 'fiaest hour' for an aaxious wartime audience, a teenaged vocaiist by the name of Frnk Sinatra was briagiag "Your Hit Parade" to swooaing youag (mostly female) fans. Benny Goodman made the big. band souad famous, and crooners Bing Crosby and Bob Hope also contributed their share ta radio. Live bnoadcasts made Hockey Night in Canada an institution across the country as Fosten Hewitt bnought the play by play home every Saturday night. Hip-swivelling Elvis Pres- ley and othen Rock and Roll stars dominated the airwaves during the fifties, and even tbough the birth of television forced radio ta alter mucb of its pnogramming, it still tbnives as a popular and entertaiaiag medium in ýits owa nigbt.

In one sequence of "50 Yeans of Broadcasting" interviewer Lowell Thomas describes how former cincus fat lady Dolly Dimples bad successfully dieted fnom. ber top show weight of oven 500 pounds down to a svelte 122. She had explained ta, Thomas (wbo was relating the interview 'live') that maay of ber obese friends bad died because of their weigbt pnoblems, and bow their bodies bad ta be traasported by truck because tbey wene too large to, fit into a regulan bearse. At that point in the show, Thomas lost bis objective cool and-succumbed ta a senies of uncontrollable bursts of laugbter. Evea by sign-off time, be was unable ta regain his cornposir. .., And judgiýng by the response ta Mr. Ganrison's presentation on Tbursday, the Rotarians 'are stilI laugbiag too.

Lawrence WeIk Coming to CNE One of the most amazing chapters in television history began la June 1955, wben Lawrence Welk and his Cham- pagne Music first appeared on national television - -- and 22 years later, the 73-year-old maestro is still going stroag. At a time when most men would think about takiag life a littie easier, the Champagne King stili bosts bis weekly television show and on August 26 and 27 briags bis entire cast to the Canadian National Exhibition ia Toronto, Onta- Tio, for two special appear- ances at the C.N.E. Grand- stand. La 1955, Welk was signed by a U.S. television aetwork as a 13-week, summer replace- ment. Those 13 weeks expand- ed into one of the loagest and most successful ruas la show business. Last year. in Toronto, he made a oae-aight appearance to a full bouse at the, 22,000-seat C.N.E. Grand- stand. This year, C. N.E. officiais booked hlm for two aights to satisfy the stroag demand for tickets. As for retiring, Welk doesa't even think about it. "I neyer really waat ta retire," he says. "There is aothiag I waat to do more than eajoy music with the youag boys an~d girls of aur show .
