4) y ae QQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, June 20, 1962 Old UK. Battle-Axe Has Large Fan Club' By ROD CURRIE LONDON (CP) An old battle-axe with a face like a) gnarled potato is the second' best-known lady of the land. To her fans from the Shet- land Islands to Penzance--and there are enough of them to populate Canada--she is Ena Sharples, a sharp. - tongued old gossip with a minute streak of goodness beneath the bulky grey exterior that is as familiar to British television viewers as Big Ben.

She was supposed to ask in a store for "half a dozen fancy cakes--and no eclairs." She delivered the line and then, known reason, turned back, pulled a scow!] like a thunder- cloud and added, "I said no eclairs!"' for some un-§ The producers and director jumped for joy and thus was launched the most successful old reprobate since the late Marie Dressler left Cobourg, Ont., Tugboat Annie. ACCENTS GENUINE Coronation Street is in Lanca- shire, a drab row of smoky terrace houses without indoor plumbing. The heart of its so- cial life is The Rover's Return, the local pub Although nothing terribly ex- citing ever happens, still the in- terest is sustained.
