Carol and Conny Mattison are having a wonderful time making others happy on Party Time Conny and Carol take time out from gardening and biking as Frisky makes friends with their cat. Dress is optional at the Mattisons' parties for, as Carol points out, it's all informal and fun. ke daughter — the merry Mattisons. 16 A four-layer cake — iced with songs, sketches and laughter — is served every Saturday morning on a fun-filled celebration known as Party Time. The festivities take place at Station WKTV in Utica and your hostesses are a delightful mother-and-daughter team, Conny and twelve-year-old Carol Mattison. Romping their way through their hour-long show in anything from dresses to denims, Conny and Carol cut the cake into sections for small-fry, youngsters from nine to twelve, teenagers and adults. Each rollicking quarter-hour features guests in the proper age group, but the life of the party is "Corn with Carol — Mother's Little Angel," a weekly skit in which Carol's ringlets have been shorn, she has acquired her first dance dress and, more often, she turns out to be anything but an angel. A twin case of the mumps, four years ago, was responsible for these gala goings-on. For, while recovering from the mumps, Conny and Carol exhausted any possible further interest in paper dolls and went on to amuse themselves by planning TV programs. When both were well again, blonde, blue-eyed Carol returned to school; auburn-haired, green-eyed Conny resumed work as Director of Education; and the program notes were tucked away in a volume of Shakespeare. A while later, Conny was starring on an early -morning religious program and was invited to shepherd a group of youngsters on a guest appearance. Auditions followed, program plans were unearthed, and Conny and Carol's show was on its way. Carol, who loves sports and reading and has just discovered ballroom dancing, wins her highest grades in science and is puzzled about how this aptitude will fit in with her plans for a dramatic or musical comedy career. Both proud of their home, she and Conny are now busying themselves with landscaping and surrounding the patio with evergreens. Conny's radio and community work keep her on the go, but she manages to find time for an occasional game of bridge with friends. Someday, she would like to rescue a 550-page manuscript from the attic and finish the book she started when Carol was a baby. Meanwhile, there's a standing invitation to all TViewers to come — and bring the family — to a grand party with Conny and Carol.
