PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES- GAZETTE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1947 ATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY. Buisiness Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Edicor. Phone 703, All Departments Valt Goodie Family In Repeat Role-- To Hold Amateur Shows walt Goodie and family, versatile | have talent of any kind to come coloured family of musicians, sing- ers and entertainers, will present a repeat performance of the variety which they presented here ks ago, on December 26. In making this "announcement today, Mr. Goodie said that he had re- ceived numerous requests from Whitby citizens to répeat the pro- gram and he stated he felt obliged to do so. A feature of the show on Boxing Day will be an abbreviated amateur show in which local citizens will take part. Mr. Goodie said that he had considered the idea of an ama- teur show for some. time now and was finally prompted to arrange it when he was appraised of the abun- dance of talent in Whitby and district. In addition to the amateur show on Boxing Day, Mr. Goodie an- nounced his intention of organizing an amateur show to be presented here once every three weeks or a month. "I believe much talent is lying dormant in Whitby and im- mediate vicinity and if I can do anything to bring it to the fore I will feel greatly honoured to do so," he said. The seven members of the Goodie family, originally from the United States, are all accomplished musi- cians and entertainers, and proof that they were acceptable to Whitby citizens was evidenced by the crowded hall the last time they played here and the many compli- mentary remarks paid to them following the show. In announcing plans for the ama- teur show to be run in conjunction with the family's own variety show, Mr. Coodie said that he would offer cash prizes to the top three con- testants and would invite the first place winner to be guest artist on his weekly radio program on the following Sunday over station CKDO, in Oshawa. Arrangements have already been made with sta- tion officials and it is expected that considerable interest will be aroused by the undertaking. Although several Whitby people have been contacted as to partici- pating in the amateur show, no one had accepted up until last night, Mr. Goodie is anx- ious that the show be a success and he has made a special request to Iccal citizens who believe they forward and submit their name for the contest. Auditions will be ar- ranged by Mr. Goodie to take place prior 'to the night of the actual contest. "I believe an undertaking such as this will do. a great deal of good in furthering talent in the district and if I can interest the merchants or other organizations in the town in such an undertaking, I do not doubt but that we will be extremely successful," he said. Names of contestants will be re- ceived at the Whitby office of the Times-Gazette. Pastor Closes Sermon Series At Greenbank Greenbank, Dec.

Is Hive Of Activit One of the busiest places in the Whitby district is located in the Kinsale area, several miles north of here, where William Lennan and his staff are busily preparing over 500 turkeys for the Christmas market. Mr. Lennan has" indicated that he is pleased with the results obtained at his "turkey ranch" this year. Out of the initial lot of 506 birds with which he started in the spring he will have. 502 birds for the market. Only four birds were lost during the year and we believe this constitutes some sort of record. With the aid of J. Stell, of Kin- sale, Mr. Lennan embarked on this latest venture and after the pens were constructed, a great deal of time and money has been spent in raising. these somewhat "finicky" birds. and trouble, Mr. Lennan has indi- cated that he will expand the ranch next year. He would' not commit himself as to how many birds he will raise next year but because of his success this year, it seems likely that the size of the ranch may be doubled, Orders have been placed with Mr. Lennan for almost all of the birds and this fact alone attests to the size and quality of the birds which he has for sale, London -- (CP) -- Messages of congratulations from many coun- tries but all written in the same language were received by Robert Robertosn, twoce president of the British Esperanto Society, on his diamond wedding anniversary, Whitby Classified FOR SALE--60 LEGHORN PULLETS, laying; 70 Rock and Rock-Leghorn cross, yearling hens, Phone 857 Whitby or Post Office Box 157.
