In particular it mentions that most of the talent in the current musical got their start with the Kâ€"W Musical Productions. It was about a dozen years ago that 1 hired the "original" Anne from the P.E.I. production to be the featured artist in my new television show ‘"Toy Box". The young lady was Valerie Spiller from the Kâ€"W area. Her dad is the well known pianist. Val is now happily married with two children and lives in Toronto. Boston once again must be a wild place to be in with the Red Sox in the World Series. I recall the summer of 1967 when I was attending Harvard University and the Red Sox were making a run for the pennant. As you walked across campus, strangers would pass you and automatically would say: 3 to 1, bottom of the 5th for Reds. The cop on the beat at Harvard Square had his walkieâ€"talkie tuned to the game. The Boston PUC drivers all had radios going. You felt you were in one big ball park. Elliott Wahle who was the personnel manager of the Blue Jays for seven years, will be the guest speaker at the ‘"Recognition Dinner‘"‘ Nov. 5 in the Waterloo Inn.

Now Stuart says they are attracting customers from Eimira, St. Clements, Wellesley, etc. and wonders if they will have to move further west. Gibson TV is a family affair with the mother, Betty, and brother, Steve, also in the business. icbadtt â€" ab0I0P hafl” Tbe W’ime $12.50 ($10.75 Stu./Sen ) ( The Waterloo Information Tent not only saluted the Oktoberfest events, but hostess Sheila Meijer pointed out that it was supporting the local 300 businesses. The Uptown Tent displayed souvenirs and entertained the visitors but also planted the seed in the minds of some guests to return with a business investment. Repeat customers is the name of the game. A few months ago the Kitchener Library upped its fee to $25.00 for any outâ€"ofâ€"towner who wished to borrow books. The Waterloo Library decided to continue with the $1 tariff. Hence, it was feared that the students who live in Waterloo would not be able to afford the extra $25 charge and would now all come to the Waterloo Library. However, a local senior librarian indicates that so far there has been no noticeable increase in student borrowing. Mail items to Around Town, Box 898, Waterloo, Ont.
