Not Potato Grower What happened shouldn't happen to a potato. Percy's not a potato grower, he just has an average plot in the rear of his home but he out the spud in 14 sections, filled in the drill and sat back to wait for the result, This week he thrust his fork into the ground, bared the fruits of his labor and in the final accounts ing found he had 86 murphys weighing a total of 44 pounds. The masterpiece, though, is the giant Percy brought--to-the office of The Times-Gazette, Besides the merits of measurement and weight, the. potato has all the other good qualities found in the better i tato families, It's firm, It is from blemishes and a slightly smaller sample cut open at the of- fice showed them to be solid clear through, Outwardly the potato has the symmetry and shape of its brothers, while the skin is kish and the flesh normal in color and texture, There is indication that it will sprout between 25 and 30 eyes. The eye-points are shallow and should the potato be peeled it would not be necessary to dig more than one- eighth inch to clean it. Keep for Souvenir However, Percy's family won't eat this one. He's keeping it until next ear to prove to himself whether t's a freak or, perhaps, a new glant strain, The spud was grown in clay- like soll and was given no extra attention, nor was it especially fer- tiliod, from which The original bag Percy's potato came, arrived from North Dakota. It was the property of Marnien's brother, who gave him a number to plant, Strange ar it may seem, Bill, although he has a fine crop, has nothing to measure up In size to the fruits from the spud he tossed away, Of interest is the fact that the plants grow to a heigh of three and a half feet, Bo, if you're down to the market this week, buy a 10-pound bag of otatoes, count them and find only our and a bit in the sack, then ow'll know they were grown in ercy Neal's back yard.

G. Metcalfe wel- comed the audience and asked all to stand for two minutes, The lights went out and the curtains slowly parted revealing a large cross a- gainst a highlighted white bac2- ground, with "In Remembrance" on & red band at the of the frame, Meanwhile a piper played a lament, All solemn thoughts were dispel led, however, when Jack Kelly came to the microphone to perform the monies, Jack, who was with the Ar. my Show, is no newcomer to the mike, and is meking a reputation for himself with the CK.EY, Dra- ma Workshop, The first act he introduced was a sister dance team, Olive and Anita Newell in a tap routine which was well paced and clear cut, Then Ron Leonard who has been entertaining troops all over Europe delighted the audience with his slick sleight of hand, This debonair ma- uced bouquets and rab bits, tore up a card and re-produced it by television, and swallowed beads only to pull them out of his mouth re-threaded. Lisa Derny, an intimate singer of intimate gongs, wearing a grey gown and long cerise gloves dedicated her first song "You Made Me Love You" to Fire Chief Ross MacKenzie caus- much amusement among the crowd, and followed this with an old favourite "Mary," and soon had the audience singing with her. Realistic Impersonations Jack Kelly contributed to the pro- yp with some astoundingly realis- o impersonations, including Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, two fighter planes in action, Winston Churchill, PF, D, R., and Baby 4 Anita Newell executed a clever toe tap number, and Olive danced a nautical routine to "Anchors Aweigh." Next a timid little man, Hugh O'. Dennell of the dead pan, crept in from the wings muttering to him- self, He felt through his pockets absent mindedly, and was about to the stage when, after taking off his coat and several waistcoats, he found his harmonica. His well sustained dumb show rocked the sudience, and he proved that he could make music too, Lisa Derny in a striking black and white ensemble lead the audience in a sing-song, then rendered in her own inimitable style "Make Belleve" from "Show Boat." To a medley of Scottish airs the Newell sisters in gay kilts perform- ed a tap version of the Highland Fling, Trick Roller Skating A trick roller skating act brought | the concert to a close. The Radium Rays spinning and twisting at high speed made everyone breathless. A surprise effect was achieved when th lights went out, and a fluores- cent lamp playing on their special- ly treated costumes changed the co- lour scheme leaving thelr arms and faces in darkness, Two brave volun. teers from the audience accepted the invitation for a trial spin, and appeared pale and dizzy after a short whir Great credit was due to the ace complished planist Mr. J. Handley for his musical assistance to the ar- duties of a versatile master of cere- | tists On the credit side - we have a grand evening's entertainment, and on the debit side a pair of nylons, We found the rows of seats yery close together, and the seats rough on the edges, and while sashaying between the rows we caught a thread that practically unravelled a stocking.
