At the start of the 1961â€"62 season Toby left for an acting career in England and her chair was taken by Betty Kennedy â€" thus completing the panel that has reâ€" mained intact ever since. Over the past 10 years Challenge has, however, gone through various trials and â€" tribulations . with its guests. Georgina Moore, who was the ‘body‘ of Princess Margaret for Annigoni‘s famous portrait, was brought over from England amid all the usual secrecy surrounding the Challenge mystery guests.

Miss Moore still made the program, but the game part of the show was scrapped and she sat in the easy chair for an extended interâ€" view with the panelists. The same Annigoni also made something of a mark on the proâ€" gram by walking out of the studio shortly before he was due to go on the air. Apparently he misunderâ€" stood his instructions and when he was told he‘d have to wait about an hour before his appearance he stomped out of the studio saying he couldn‘t afford to waste that much time. Betty Kennedy recalls the time when Igor Gouzenko appeared on Challenge. In the dressing room, waiting to go on, Gouzenko was fascinatedâ€"by Fred Davis‘s makeup and insisted he be made up for the show, even though he wore a hood that covered his face. The list of guests who have made the trip to Toronto to appear on the show includes such diverse and newsworthy people as: Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Harold Wilson, Gypsy Rose Lee, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Gordie Howe, Groucho Marx, Dr. Han Chopped prunes and grated orange peel mixed into the dough flavour the loaf from the first to last slice.

There‘s a lot more to prunes than the stewedâ€"inâ€"syrup version. Given half a chance, a prune can become quite a glamourous fruit. â€" Prunes and breads have a natural affinity for one another. This recipe for Orangeâ€"Prune Bread produces a large loaf much like raisin bread in appearance. It is excellent as a breakfast, tea or sandwich loaf. j * 4»1/4ms? o g wnictongis / * DIS”””S”‘PS 4 # kirklcmrons ETE unc Troue fame frsed Plun Ix12 SAVE $3.25 y ‘Senéca School Stresses Physical l,D’eveIopme’nt of Retarded Students A health room, nursery playroom and gymnasium play an important part in the development of poten« tial of the students enrolled at Seneca School for Retarded Chilâ€" dren.
