Tour HitParadef Will Have Five Fresh Faces in Television Season By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York W "Your Hit Parade' will trot out five fresh faces this TV season. And ac cording to incoming bandleader Don Walker, the show will offer a new sound, too. Walker will replace Raymond Scott, who piled out the door along with Gisele MacKenzie, Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson and Russell Arms. Walker's crew will be made up of Jill Corey, Ginny Gibson, Tommy Leonetti and Alan Copeland. Walker, the 46-year-old scorer of such Broadway musicals as "Pajama Game," "Damn Yan kees," and "The Most Happy Fella," feels the NBC-TV show was due for a musical overhaul. 'Up to now the policy on the show has leaned toward imitat ing the record that "made a hit out of a song," said Walker. "The trouble with that was it was im possible in a TV studio to set up the artificial conditions that prevail in a recording studio. TV Just can't gimmick up a sound the way records do. "So, this season we're going to work for a different effect. We're going to try to get a closer coordination between the production and the music you know, so the music s-a-y-s what your eyes are showing you." The Hit Parade band (the same NBC house orchestra that Ray mond Scott used) will sound dif ferent, too, said Walker. "I always score for TV and radio with a great deal of depth," said Walker. "And I try for a wide sound, too. You're going' to hear a lot of highs and lows from the band, a lot of brilliance. I don't like to waste notes, the idea is to have each one work. "And there's going to be a lot of comedy in the music. I like humor in music. I like an amus ing quality it's the sort of thing I tried to get into 'Pal Joey,' another show I scored."

Commissioners Refuse To Pay Trial Costs Portland HB Multnomah county district attorney Leo Smith Tuesday backed up the county commissioners in their refusal to pay two items of ex pense incurred by the attorney general's staff in the recent per jury trial of Mayor Terry D. Schrunk. The bills are $128 for a heli copter survey of the 8212 Club in the Kenton district of Port land and $98 for photographs of the north Denver-Kilpatrick in tersection near the 8212 Club. The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that the county must pay for the most vital trial ex penditures. Smith recommended that pay ment be denied unless the attor ney general or his assistants establish the necessity for the expenditures. This week . . . ACME HARDWARE shoots the works!

A student of the piano, pipe organ, sax, clarinet, flute and trombone. Walker will get one big break on "Your Hit Parade" this season he should have more interesting tunes to work with than Raymond Scott. "I don't think there's any doubt the ballad is making a comeback," said Walker, "and that rock 'n' roll is falling off a bit. I like some rock 'n' roll my self but s,ince it's based on repe titive phrases, it tends to become monotonous over a long period. "This season the show will get back to more of the moon light dancing kind of thing and all of those wonderful romantic songs."

Ample Stock , Bui Printing Takes a Little Bit of Time C U w ' - - .- ties that my wife and I didn't venture until we were practical ly engaged. By this I mean they kiss, hug, "horse around" and in general seem as physically com fortable together as long -married couples. I have been assured by them and my wife that "it doesn't mean anything," but why all this physical contact with some one they aren't going to marry? Would a little timidity with the opposite sex hurt? Selma R. When I don't see the kids kissing, hugging and "horsing around," then I'll begin to worry. So far, I am fairly sure that most of this physical activity goes on in public. As I see it, nothing more is mvolved than a little playful ex perimentation. I'm glad our children feel so free and com fortable with members of the opposite sex and with us that they can indulge in these inno cent familiarities without' fear or shyness. Above all, I wouldn't want to give them a sense of guilt or wrongdoing about it They would only learn 'to con- ceal. Then they might go in for a more dangerous sort of neck ing and petting. - My husband refuses to see the handwriting on the wall. Times have changed from when we were teenagers. Dating customs are different. The kids date earlier, marry younger and, I think, are really more healthy minded than we were. They know the facts of life from an early age and are less confused and afraid. The Council: Some authorities would agree with Selma that in certain areas there has been an improvement in the attitudes of young persons toward sex. There may be less guilt, fear and con fusion on the surface at least. But this bright surface is by no means the whole picture. Clergy men, sociologists, psy chologists also see a dark side in the increasing number of un happy early marriages that are largely the result of early dat-i ing and casual intimacy between the sexes. Selma should be aware that enlightenment about "the facts of life" doesn't do away with all marital problems, nor are public displays of affec tion insurance against private necking and petting. It's true that dating customs change but not always for the best. In some societies court ship and marriage at 15 and 17 is reasonable. In our highly com plex, problem - ridden society, the kind of activity Leon des cribes may be -too much, too soon, He is rightly disturbed about the desirability of physical familiarity that "doesn't mean anything." It is not necessary to give these teenagers a sense of "guilt or wrongdoing", to put over the point that their relations with the opposite sex have a greater chance of being interesting, ex citing and enriching if they take it easy give themselves a chance to grow up and to learn 1 how to care for one individual with whomShey can enjoy phy sical contact that means some thing, not nothing.
