Although a successful all-round entertainer and not reliant on single chart status, Rolf Harris has a happy knack of coming up with a resounding hit every few years. In 1960 it was “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport”; in 1962 “Sun Arise” and he now has a smash with “Two Little Boys”. Australian by birth but now resident in the U.K., Harris’ future plans include a four-week tour of Australia and New Zealand in February after which he will represent Australia at the Expo 70 in Tokyo.

The 26th Amusement Traides Exhibition (A.T.E.) will take place the latter part of this week (Jan. 20-22), again in London's spacious Alexandra Palace. Often compared with the U.S.A.’s MOA Exposition, the A.T.E. is Great Britain’s most important trade meeting. Like

the MOA, it enjoys the attendance of every significant machine factory and distributor, plus representatives of a major portion of its operating companies. Again, like MOA, the British convention finds many visitors

from overseas among its showgoers . . . indeed, per- haps more than at MOA due to London’s proximity to the Continent.
