'The Ham in Me Had to Come Out' Dick Explains His Showbiz "the ham In me had to-' come out." That's hoWj TV personality Dick Maloney explains his entry into many different aspects of show business. The 29-year-old host of the CJOH television show "Saturday Date" has also been a disc Jockey, an emcee a singer in nightclubs and a song writer. A native of Ottawa. Dick attended St. Patrick's High School, where his impersonation of Al Jolson at a school dance marked the start of his singing career.

His comedy career was launched by a regular column in his school paper, the "Patrician." Following his graduation, Dick worked as a radio announcer for CJBQ in ville, CJCV in Niagara Falls, CJML in Hamilton and CFRA In Ottawa. He ahrorr had several emcee and sng I Jobs at such nightclubs as the Piccadilly Club in Toronto and the Yacht Hotl jtt on the Lake. "1 enjoyed working at CFRA," says Dick, "because I had my own show nightly and they let- me do crazy things on the air." Last October, Dick started work at CJOH, where he does newscasts, and bingo shows, as well as his teenage, dance ACCORDING TO Dlck, there shouldn't he a "war" going on between teenagers "With more co-operation'be--' Iween the two groups, 'attention getters' like long hair wouldn't be necessary," he says.

If you got to know a group of girls who distorted their, behavior and appear-- ance. you would probably find out that behind it all, each and everyone is different and deep down has a personality of their own. Girls act false because they are not sure what kind of impression they will create on the opposite sex by being themselves. The boys you mention in your column have various vjews on what to' look for in a girl.

Because, of this, shouldn't the girls act natural and be themselves? If" they did, the chances are they'll" meet someone who appreciates them" for'who they ae, and they'll really have something in common.

Parents should be firm and teach-their children what to appreciate rather than give them everything they want." Dick's clean cut image when he's performing is con sistent with his outlook on. life. "The world needs to change its concept of hero worship." he feels. "There is a confusion and overlapping between the terms 'hero' and We need an old-fashioned 'good guy' hero rather than more James Bonds."

Without, the petals, there is no flower; but with only petals, there is no subtle fragrance, no my-j sticjsm. It seems tor-me those who deny a realization of their erotic impulses and phantasies for the feminine are in effect denying their masculinity; and furthermore try to substitute pseudo platonism for eroticism. Even Artur Rubinstein, In his 80th year, may "shoot an appraising eye at a leggy young blonde at an air terminal" "Hmm, not bad Shall I ask her to dance? No. she's too serious."
