THE COLBORNE CHRONICLE. Thursday, March 8th, 19R3 Page Seven BY DOROTHY BARKER Contagious Clubitis I Everyone belongs to a club' these days. Joining is a virus | that has swept the country from one shore to the other. Farm lads and lassies are susceptible j from an early age when they are j bitten by the 4-H bug, an effective immunization against juvenile delinquency. Pre-adults, city bred, have found the coffee club fever a heady one while listening to senti-l mental folk ballads nasally sung1 to the twang of guitars. Father joins a golf club and mother at her bridge club gambles 25c a corner weekly with the "girls", trumping their aces while forgetting to stuff her short suit in a slam bid. Clubbing seems to be the answer to our social need. Perhaps it lends a feeling of security in these troubled times. Clubs can also be breeding places for ideas, places of mental stimulation, for whenever two or more celebrities rub elbows, sparks of inspiration are sure to fly. One such organization is the Celebrity Club on Jarvis Street in Toronto. Smoke hung in a smog over the heads *f several dozen members the day Harold Morrison of the CN's Department of Public Relations, invited me to have luncheon here in one of his favourite haunts. I had complained of a seasonal mental inertia and he offered to explode a few ideas for me to nibble on. As I poked a fork among peas and "Boeuf au Vin", I learned a little about the Celebrity Club. Within a stone's throw of CBC's studios in downtown Toronto, it rather remind-j ed me of a temple. Not for its religious influence on its nienwj bers, but because it is a daily mecca for working members of., the arts and has a four-floor eminence. We started our luncheon prowl in the basement regions searching for a familiar network personality I had been assured frequented this lair. The men all looked like regular business types in neat dark suits or tweed jackets and flannels, although there was the odd bearded individual meandering from one table to another in cheery salutation. Where were the artistes I expected in turtle neck sweaters, a harried look and left-over makeup? When PRs Get Together Harold Morrison, among other accomplishments, was a CBC script writer before his foray into the field of railway public relations. He fitted comfortably into these surroundings, hail- ing, as we entered, another PR type, Frank Duckworth. This is the person who must be given credit for an original idea he put into action recently, when his firm introduced a new cake mix. The modern version of an old time recipe, he chose Old Fort York, on the shores of Lake Ontario, to whip up the first batter in century old utensils and baked the cake in i brick oven somebody's ancestor probably considered her pride and joy. He was abetted in this accomplishment by Peter Sty-rmo, who is in charge of the Fort and has an appreciation of original ideas. Duckworth let little grass grow under foot after this s cessful venture before he proached the CN with another promotional idea for serving the spicy delicacy aboard CN diners. With their heads together, I learned how PR types cook up ideas over a plate of goulash in a celebrity atmosphere. While the ingredients of s idea bubbled between them I searched again for a glimpse of a national celebrity. I was most ready to concede all had eaten at an earlier hour when June Dennis walked up to Duckworth and asked him to sign his membership card. "She works here?", I gasped. "Sure", plied Morrison, "that is how the Celebrity Club is run ... by celebrities. It was started by two famous broadcasters, who believed such a club would fill a need as a meeting place for show biz personalities and lated arts, and it is managed by members of the profession." June Dennis visits thousands of homes each weekday morn-ii?g~via AUDIO, a radio program with a longevity record. Her voice . is as familiar to mi that of my own mother. Sh much more glamorous off c era than on, which is intended as a compliment because most guest panelists, as she often is on "Live a Borrowed Life," look more like models than interesting career women. The world of radio, TV, script writers, producers, actors, personalities who plug commercials and the boys behind the scenes who by some miracle make all programs come out even, lost none of its romance because I discovered these people \ not endowed with an obvious aura of creativity but are just ordinary Joes like the rest of us, doing a job they have chosen as their life's work. It is the odd few who THINK they are celebrities who strike one as being "characters". SALEM by G. A. Smith Master Billy Everden was the soloist at Salem United Church last Sunday.

Three settings 5, 6 and 7 p.m. were served and when the hostesses, their helpers and the kitchen crew sat down to eat at 8 p.m. the tables were still Taden with a tasty variety of vitals. Although the supper was sponsored by the UCW, much credit is due the men of the congregation for their co-operation, (from the ones responsible for removing the snow from the* church grounds to those Who so ably assisted in the kitchen).

A buffet lunch concluded an enjoyable evening. Give your teenager an advanced course in driving by teaching him or her to drive safely on snow and ice. Farm Forum North'd Farm Forums discussed "Transportation and the Farmer" at their meeting on February 19th. Although railway freight was the main topic of the broadcast and apparently didn't effect the majority of North'd Forums to any great extent, it proved to enlighten them on the, problem of freight facing other areas of Canada. The first question concerned the use of railways for transportation of livestock, passengers and grain. All the Forums reported that no livestock had been transported by rail " as trucks are used almost exclusively in this area. Most of the Forums had used the trains for passenger service very little. Morganston's reply was typical of the Forums when they said that the last time anyone had used this service was in 1945. Trent Valley reported that their passenger service had been discontinued as of January 31st, 1962. Although most of the Forums were not positive of the fact, they felt that grain was transported to some of the Cooperatives and feed dealers in this area by railway freight. Another question dealt with the recommendations by the Royal Commission on transportation. Cobourg Road expressed the feeling of the Forums when they said there would be very little effect on them by the discontinuation of freight service by railway in their area as most of their goods were transported by other means. These are the opinions of the Farm Forums in Northumberland on Transportation and the Farmer. 1962 Seed Fairs With Ontario still in the midst of winter, Crop Improvement Associations are planning and holding their annual spring seed shows.

That's why a brood sow requires more iodine than a growing market hog. Guard against iodine deficiency by feeding iodized salt in which the added iodine has been stabilized. If a trace mineral premix containing stabilized iodine is being used, plain salt may be fed. meorinq make-up. Doyouttiink. my ^ mother would approve V A. Thaf depends on you.
