On-show, Jim McKnight — the "famous chef" — demonstrates culiiary arts for Doris (right) and her co-hostess, mother Myrtle Labbitt. T V R 50 Experience Almost anything can and does happen on a TV homemaking show but CKLWTV's Doris Junod— wife, homemaker and mother of four — is well prepared to handle any and all problems Seven years ago, when Detroit's CKLW-TV asked radio -veteran Myrtle Labbitt to do a homemaking show, she agreed and immediately asked that her daughter Doris be given the assignment as her assistant. Thus was born the highly popular and successful team of Myrtle And Doris, now seen on the show of the same name on Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 p.m. "We originally decided not to reveal our mother-daughter relationship," smiles Doris, "but that lasted through only one show. On the second program, I moved off-camera and said, 'Hold the fort, Mom.' Well, that did it. From then on, we made no bones about it and now our viewers enjoy it as much as we do." Doris is also hostess of another program. It's Tower Kitchen Time, seen Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. . . . It's no surprise to anyone that Doris is so capable of handling both her homemaking shows so well. She not only studied the subject — she received her B.S. in home economics from Wayne State University — but she is a wife, homemaker and mother of four, as well. Doris met husband Jack when they were both attending high school. "He used to walk me home from school every day," reminisces Doris. And that was no small accomplishment ... at the time, she lived two miles from the town in which the school was located . . . The Junods now live in a house situated on a big wooded lot. Their home is complete with Early American furnishings and four lively American children — Jo, Jackie, Bobbie and Jamie. "My only problem, as far as the children are concerned," says Doris, "was rinding someone to stay with them while I'm working. I finally happened on to a lovely little old English lady. 'Polly,' as we all call her, comes every day that I'm away and the children just love her." When she is at home, Doris and her family enjoy swimming, ball-playing, group singing and bridge.
