Hutchins Ideally For Role as By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) When the producers of CBS's new comedy series "Blondie," tapped actor Will Hutchins to play Dagwood Bumstead, they did not know they had acquired long-time student of the vencrable comic strip. "Very few people remember why Dagwood is such a bumbier," said Will authoritatively over a noon repast that, minus bread, looked amazingly like a Dagwood sandwich surmounted by melted mozzarella cheese. "Chic Young's comic strip was started in the late 1920s and one of the depression themes was that he was the son af a very rich man who, until he lost his money, had never done anything practical." Will, whose speciality as a performer is projecting a gentle, naive quality, is a lanky sixfooter who resembles not at all the cartoon character nor even Arthur Laken the actor who with Penny Singleton made reers out of playing Dagwood and Blondie in a series of almost 300 motion pictures. But Hutchins, still remembered for four years In televisions early "Sugarfoot" series, secms to be right for the role. Patricia Harty plays the title role.

Hutchins, who can kick dust and say "Ah, shucks" very convincingly, actually isn't all that unsophisticated and has a nice easy way with a comedy line. After there was "Hey, Landlord, which barely staggered through the 1966-67 season.

"What I'd love," said Will, "is to bring back Arthur Lake and Penny Singleton to play our children's grandparents.

But doubt if anyone would go long with that idea." ABC executives are pleased with overnight ratings of the network's 90-minute nightly convention wrapup. A national survey for the p.m. time period on the first night showed it that, in terms of audience size, trailed NBC by just less than a point and CBS by two points -low network on the convention-coverage pool bu' still twice as strong as its showing four years ago. The first of the nightly summaries suffered from the same problems that bugged the continuing pave, coverage of CBS and -lack of stimulating raw material with which to work.

Dick Evans and Thomas Munroe Duncan organized the Sunday school in the Bowman school house in the late 1800s. The Rev. Griffith held a meeting following, and there were two conversions from that meeting.
