No Ice Follies production these days would seem com- plete without Donald Jackson, Oshawa's pride and joy who has done as much as any single in- dividual to publicize the name of The Motor City around the world. He.is one of the great stars of this glittering and entertain- ing production (which will be prseented up to and including Feb. 5).

Jackson started skating in the local arena with little grace. But in the words of Don himself, "you have to be dedicated". The Oshawa skater attributes more than recognition and fame to skating. 'Even if you don't reach the top, I think Figure Skating teaches self discipline," he said recently. And what does the future hold for Jackson? He feels, along with most people, that following skating he has many years left. "I'm sure that I can keep up my skating to do a good job", he said. But when it does come time to leave the Follies, Don has definite ideas on what he will do. Teaching will be his main aim. When asked where he would like to teach, Jackson said, "The Toronto area is very good, and Vancouver", By Toronto and Vancouver, he is referring to the many clubs that are in existence in the towns in these areas. Anyone can enjoy skating. In the words of Jackson, "people _ enjoy skating from three to P si Note" which includes many of si w Jackson began his career at nine.

Smith was on his way to a when he turned professional. "I just ran out of money", he says. "It costs about $5,000 a year to keep going as a top amateur." Of himself, Smith says, "I think I am a born competitor. When I hear someone say 'the only person I want to beat is myself, ' I say 'Nuts.' I want to beat them all". He teams with Bill Thomas from Seattle in 'the show to make up the only male doubles act in the Follies. now one of the highlights of the chance at the Olympic Games Don Jackson Would Like To Teach 'It is harder for two men to skate together than for a boy and a girl', says Thomas. "Male skaters never touch dur- ing their performance"'. Both Smith and Thomas plan to teach skating after they have left the Follies. "By teaching, we'll be able to continue with the thing we like to do the most", says Smith. Like Smith, Ken and Paulette Ormsby are Canadian skaters who were big in international competition. The Ormsbys were North American Dance Cham- pions and Canadian Senior Dance Champions in 1963 and 1964, in addition to being se- cond in the World Dance Cham- pionship in 1964. Their position in world competition was the highest ever attained by a Can- adian dance team. US. Film Costs Ranks 10th. As By BOB THOMAS DANA POINT, Calif.

That is why the manage- ment gives top preference to the better acts in this particu- lar field, such as Bobby J. Newman and The Checkers who open their second con- secutive week at the Hide- away starting on Monday. There is no telling how long Bobby and The Checkers will stay on if business continues the way it has been the last few days. They may even set a new record for the Hide- away, which hasn't been so crowded for weeks. SPRUCE VILLA INN, Whitby. General - Manager Martin Chizen will feature Danny Couglin and his trio from To- ronto for at least one week starting next Monday in the Spruce Villa Hotel, Whitby.

I dropped down to this sun- swept community 70 miles south of Hollywood to find: out if suc- cess had spoiled Bruce Brown. It hasn't. He remains the same independent soul as when he was showing his surfing films in high school auditoriums of southern California.

Chinese eae "Producers call me with ideas for movies, all of which I don't want to do. "The other day I was up at MGM talking to Ivan Tors (pro- ducer of Flipper, Daktari, Etc). He told me if I wanted to make could sell it in a minute. But I told him: 'I don't want to make a television series about surfing.' "What I want to make is a movie about commercial fishing for swordfish. But every time I mention it to people in the movie business, their eyes glaze and they say: 'Nobody wants to see a film about fishing.'"' For a couple of years, the same persons were telling Brown, "Nobody wants to see a film about surfing." But Brown figured there would be general interest in his movie, which concerns the around-the-world search of two young surfers for the perfect wave. He hocked everything he owned to finance the New York opening, and the a television series on surfing he ON THE TOWN Spruce Villa.
