Helen Hayes Turns Her Talent To New Theatrical Sphere. By WILLIAM GLOVER | NEW YORK (AP) -- Helen | Hayes, no star to rest on past laurels, is doubling into a new sphere of action, theatrical re- | pertory. Tours with two companies, the result of booking coincidence and her own determination, will have her on the go from now through July, 1967--15 months and 10,000 miles. "Here I am, playing all these tricks on myseif," she said, pausing between rehearsals. "But I just think someone should do things like this, "Perhaps. I'll be a bellwether | and others will follow. I hope | so. It's what all actors claim | they want." Not the least part of the am- | bitious undertaking is that in- | stead of settling for performence | in roles done previously, Miss Hayes is learning new parts. This is deliberate and has some- thing to do with the fact that recently the brisk little star went over to the county seat' with her birth certificate to | show she was 65 and eligible to | register for medicare. | "An actor is always so afraid | of the memory beginning to | go," she says. "Well, I know I've reached that a-a-age (the word is given a- wry little _8tretch) when you think about it'even more. "In learning new roles, I want to push back the. possibility that anything like that can happen. Give Them The CHANCE Te Enjoy Musie New!

Hayes company was formed in 1953 by Jack Manning, an actor who played her son in Harriet and whom the star encouraged to become a teacher-director. 'Since then it has gone on sporadic visits to schools, but the lady herself took part only in a single guest appearance in 1956, The prime purpose of the in- tensive jaunt now under way is to raise funds for more sus- tained future activity and to help establish it as the resi- dent company with a performing arts centre planned at Mount Freedom, N.J. | | ar 'BIGGER, BETTER' THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 7, 1966 '7A ON BOOKS Sportsman Show Proves Strong In Homestretch The three-day Sportsman's Show here achieved success in much the thanner of Silky Sul- livan -- the famed thorough- bred came on strong in the homestretch to win after a slow start. Few more than 600 went through the turnstile when the Civic Auditorium gate sprung open 'Thursday. Friday, the show took on a Sullivan run- ning fever when more than 3,000 people turned out to browse in the medley of ex- hibits. Paid attendance for Saturday topped the 4,000 mark. An official of the Union Rod |}and Gun Club, sponsor of the | show, has appraised it as the best to date, having far out- done the one last year in the "cold, damp and miserable' Children's Arena, walk around in shirt sleeves," Don Ibey said yesterday. The club -stepped into the show accompanied by the theme: "United Action for Clear Waters' and Ibey thinks the slogan took hold. "I had quite a few letters and calls thanking the club for its job on fighting water pollu- tion,"' said Ibey in an interview. He added that "loads"' of pol- lution literature from the De- partment of Lands and Forests and Ontario Water Resources Commission was distributed during the show. Because the show tackled the | problem of water pollution "the results may .show on the Osh- awa Creek," Said Mr. Ibey. OSHAWA CREEK : | 'We're sure hoping the theme | sunk in,'"' he said, pointing out 'the Oshawa Creek has always catch landlocked salmon in the creek. Now the catch is ree stricted to suckers. There are quite a number of industries causing the problem." "I talked to people running different concessions! and one person summed it up by telling me: 'I have enough money in the exhibit space'," said Mr, Ibey. That was Friday. The big drawing cards were | opening day ceremonies, with | officiating by Ald. John Brady | and addresses from union, com- | pany and government officials; | a fashion show Friday and Sat«- |urday of the latest swimming suits; skin diving displays in a 6,000 gallon portable water |.tank; a Judo match and an old | fiddlers' contest.

Researchers Gauge Trends In Booming Youth Market By DON JOHNSON MONTREAL (CP)--Glance at any marketing magazine and it's a safe bet you'll find at least one item on "the youth market." Corporations, ad men, re- searchers, marketing people and stylists are all engrossed in this compulsive, brand- loyal, conformist-to-fad group --people between 13 and 25. They make up half Canada's population.» They set the trends and influence family purchasing. Most are between 16 and 19 and have money to spend, Canada's 13-to-28 youth will spend an estimated $1,000,000,- 000 this year, the bulk of it for clothes, entertainment and personal grooming To understand this market, industry has turned to re- search, Four years ago Mike Stephans Youth Research Council was launched in Montreal to dea! exclusively in research in this particular market, "Only two markets existed 10 years ago--that of children and that of adults," Stephans says. "Now there are three-- the up-to-12 group, the youth segment of 13 to 25 and the over-25 category." He breaks down his youth group even further, a "pre-bra set," for example, 'We are trying to reach this group now becauss this is the time they form their buying habits for life." SHOP SATURDAYS Statistically, this group Is interesting. The average girls owns 7.3 lipsticks, hav- ing bought at least one within the month.

Through 20 studies, one firm discoy- ered that 36 per cent of those under 25 liked floor-mounted, four-speed stick - shifts, the roar of high-performance en- gines, forejgn styling and flair of a convertible--and at a low price, Mr. Stephans says parents have little influence on youths' the reverse, | buying habits; was usually true. Older women now wear shorter skirts, use more makeup and copy young hair styles, he gays, However, as soon as adults generally adopt a fad the youths drop it. They conform tpvone another. never to adults. In a recent survey, results showed only 5.8 per cent of youths said they had no in- fluence on selection of the next new family car. SAMPLE MOVIES Soon after he opened his agency, Mr. Stephans sold a firm with more than 33 the- atres in the area on the idea of letting him find out what the youth market thought about movies, Mrs. Ibey said the club is al- | ready planning on getting an | early start on next year's show and predicted it would be "big- ger and better'. "Possibly in June or July | we'll start working on the 1967 show. We have limited space at the auditorium with which to work. We hope to expand to the outside. If the two new olympi¢ swimming pools. are finished next year we're going to work up an aqua-show of swimming, diving, underwater -polo by skindivers and championship contests,' said Mr, Ibey. "We more than broke even this year," he said. Bill Kurelo, manager of, the auditorium, said he was happy | with the end result and that he should be able to accommodate an expansion of the show to the outside of the auditorium next year. my pocket.zight now to pay for e OPEN HOUSE ° Seturday May 7 & Sunday Moy & 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. SUNSET TERRACE SUBDIVISION * Liberty St. WN.
