1--WE simply can't get the
kind of pictures we want to
show to the public"
Note: Last Saturdays fea-
ture was a George Raft oldie.
Giants aim in inaugurating
the series was to present good
"first-runs" or movie classics.
The decision to quit follows that
made by competitor Safeway,
which recently reduced its movie
offerings to three or four block
busters" a year on WTOP-9,
Saturdays.
OF the local stations, WTOP
3 undoubtedly possesses the
biggest backlog of movies. Cost
for one showing, incidentally,

the show she'd like to do. She
wants to take a color TV unit
to Cambodia and other coun-
tries in Southeast Asia. Re-
member the All-Japanese show
she did last year?
"other people saw the acts
we had on the show, but they'd
just shake their heads when
it came to using them in the
States. It's knowing what to
do with them that makes the
difference" our Shirl said.
Another reason I'd let her do
1t is maybe the best reason of
all. She's not about to do an
other variety affair similar to
her shows in Dinah's stead.
So what good is an exclusive
contract for her appearances?
Shirley came back to her
home town to get State De-
partment clearance for her
Operation Typhoon project and
right now she couldn't care less
about contract EXCLUSIVELY. /"
She told of one top NBC Of
ficial who warned her about
appearing on Ed Sullivan's
show. Shirl hung up on him.
Sullivan, in fact, was told
by a top CHS Official not to let
her make a fund pitch. Sulli-
van said nuts, too.
Jack Paar had her back on
his show Tuesday night after
the Sullivan bit, which gives
you, an idea of Jacks inde-
pendence. AS he said earlier

EARLY SPRING is the time

done"
He outlined these steps for
summer planting:
. Apply an anti-transpirant
spray to the tree to prevent
loss of water during move.
(Such sprays are available at
garden Stores.)
Q Before moving, make sure
the surrounding soil has
plenty of moisture.
. Dig a large ball around

Trees should be watered

a rain accomplishes the task,
it should not be rewatered
for another week because a
transplanted tree can receive
too much moisture.

Stamps of the Season

DESPITE THE fact that Christmas
- Is a Christian celebration, some
of the most interesting postal stamps
issued to mark the holiday come from
non Christian countries like Turkey
and Korea The event is almost COM
pletely ignored by large Christian
countries like Great Britain, France,
Germany and the United States as
far as stamps go, although Christmas
cards are a major industry in these
lands.
OF the more than 100000 stamps
of all countries in existence today,
less than 20 celebrate the Christmas
season. Most of these, like the ones
shown in these pictures, tie up the
holiday with some local historic site or
parsonage, such as Turkeys illustra-
ton of the Church of St. Nicholas in
Myra, Asia Minor, birthplace of the
original of Santa Claus. A Haitian
stamp brings Christopher Columbus
into the picture by depicting Fort
Nativity in Haiti, said to have been
designed by Columbus in commemora-
ton Of the Christmas season.
