Midge DuPlessis, a cig club exec who's done gangbusters galore with her MARLBORO OF CANADA FAN CLUB, du MAURIER REGULAR & KINGS FAN CLUB, CRAVEN "A" SPECIAL MILD 100'S FAN CLUB and BENSON & HEDGES DELUXE LIGHT FAN CLUB, proudly presents her latest and (she promises) greatest f.c.: the PLAYER'S ULTRA LIGHT MENTHOL KINGS FAN CLUB.

Reports have reached this desk that Loudon Wainwright III is a charter member of all five. When you catch his act this Friday nite in EMP-Land, why not "light up" with this folkslinging great backstage or following the show?

If things go as planned for Midge, next on the agenda will be a DORAL, EVE & VICEROY FAN CLUB—three clubs in one! And what keeps Ms. D so busy? Well, shoot, there really ain't a ton-o-things for a muskrat shearer to do, pastimewise, in the chilly wilds of the Northwest Territories, especially in the dog days 'fore muskrat season (not set to begin till the 3rd week of Nov.). Necessity is the mother of activity—or so we've been told.

For complete details on all of Ms. D's dandy clubs, send two dollars (Canadian) to Club Directory Unlimited, P.O. Box 1, Fort Hay Hay, NT X1F 3T7. And tell her The Meltz sent ya!

Loudon Wainwright III plays EMP, Sky Church at 8 p.m. Fri., Oct. 4. $32/$30
