ARRY ALLEN'S new television spectacular is; very good. His hand-picked all-star combo in- cludes, among others, trumpeter Colin Stewart, trombonist Berry Yaneza and tenor saxophonist Connie Grego.

- Drummer is young Rick Flores and Nick Andigo lays down the beat. Band vocalist is the talent- ed Josie Quizon-Mrs Andigo in real life.

We are looking forward to see- ing and hearing this fine hus- band and wife team working out on some of the duets for which they have become famous in

Hongkong.

Jay P. Morgan is not to be confused with Jane Morgan who records for Kapp and is fairly popular in Hongkong.

This is the first Jaye P.

The Hi Lo's have much in com-' mon with another excellent close harmony group the Four Fresh- man. They lean heavily towards" jazz-flavoured arrangements, have the same direct and force- ful approach to a tune and are a truly swinging quartet.

What perhaps sets them apart. from the Freshman is the unique vocalising of diminutive Clark Burroughs.

Burroughs takes off on fights of supersonic fancy, reaching for with the and playing around high notes. His tone and phras- ing too differs much from the. usual lead singers in modera

Now on the Kapp label comes a new offering by the Hi Lo's. The album is entitled "The Hi Lo's on Hand” and the quartet is bound to please its many fans and make new ones.

Their versatility is apparent. They sing everything from bal- lads, and blues to jazz. -

got some leftover cakes of paraffin that she'll let you have to try paraffin sculpturing. -

To start this project, decide on a simple subject to be carved. A large animal, or flower, with smooth flat outlines and not too many details works out best.

Mark the outline of the um- cut cake of paraffin on a sheet of paper and sketch or trace. your subject in this outline. Cut out the sketched figure and place it in position on the cake of paraffin. With a pin or needle, scratch its outline.

Using a paring knife, shave off very small portions of the paraffin, gradually working in to the scratched outline of your subject.

When the figure has been carved out, smooth any rough edres with your fingers and out in the necessary details on the figure itself. For extra smooth- ness, slightly heat a knife and draw its flat side over all edges of the statuette.

To make the carving durable, give it one or two coats -of white shellac and glue it to a small wboden. base,

Try parafin sculpturing. It's lots of fun whether you're a fumble-fingered dud or an`ar- tistic genius.
